Answer:
D(7,4)
Step-by-step explanation:
W.K.T., in a parallelogram the diagonals bisect each other at right angles
So, using mid-point formula we can find the required answer (there is an alternate long method also),
mid-point of AC = mid-point of BD
[1+8/2,2+5/2] = [2+x/2,3+y/2]
[9/2,7/2] = [2+x/2,3+y/2]
[9,7] = [2+x,3+y]
9=2+x & 7=3+y
x=7,y=4
Therefore the coordinates of fourth vertex is D(7,4).
