Given three vertices of the parallelogram are A(1,-2), B(3,6) and C(5,10).
Let the coordinates of the fourth vertex be (x,y)
We know that midpoint of line segment joining the points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is
(x1 + x2/2,y1 + y2/2).
Midpoint of AC = (1 + 5/2,-2+10/2)
= (3,4)
Midpoint of BD = (3 + x/2,6+y/2).
Now,
Midpoint of BD = Midpoint of AC.
(3 + x/2,6 + y/2) = (3,4)
3 + x/2 = 3, 6 + y/2 = 4
3 + x = 6, 6 + y = 8
x = 6 - 3,y = 8 - 6
x = 3, y = 2.
Therefore the fourth vertex is D(3,2).
Hope this helps!
