Three vertices of a Parallelogram ABCD are A (1, 2, 3), B (– 1, – 2, – 1) and C (2, 3, 2). Find the fourth vertex D.
Let us assume that the 4th vertex if the parallelogram is D(x,y,z).
Now, mid-point of BD,
(1+2/2, 2+3/2, 3+2/2) = (x-1/2, y-2/2, z-1/2)
Thus, 3/2 = x-1/2
x = 4
5/2 = y-2/2
y = 7
& 5/2 = z-1/2
Thus, z = 6.
Therefore, coordinates of the 4th vertex are D(4,7,6).
