The correct Answer is:
To find the coordinates of the fourth vertex of the parallelogram given three vertices A(0, 0, 0), B(2, -1, 2), and C(5, 6, 8), we can use the property that the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Points:** - Let A = (0, 0, 0) - Let B = (2, -1, 2) - Let C = (5, 6, 8) - Let D = (x, y, z) be the fourth vertex we need to find. 2. **Find the Midpoint of Diagonal AC:** The midpoint \( R \) of diagonal \( AC \) can be calculated using the midpoint formula: \[ R = \left( \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2}, \frac{z_1 + z_2}{2} \right) \] For points A and C: - \( x_1 = 0, y_1 = 0, z_1 = 0 \) - \( x_2 = 5, y_2 = 6, z_2 = 8 \) Thus, the coordinates of midpoint \( R \) are: \[ R = \left( \frac{0 + 5}{2}, \frac{0 + 6}{2}, \frac{0 + 8}{2} \right) = \left( \frac{5}{2}, 3, 4 \right) \] 3. **Set Up the Midpoint of Diagonal BD:** Since the diagonals bisect each other, the midpoint of diagonal \( BD \) must also be \( R \): \[ R = \left( \frac{x + 2}{2}, \frac{y - 1}{2}, \frac{z + 2}{2} \right) \] 4. **Equate the Midpoints:** Now we can set up equations based on the coordinates of midpoint \( R \): - For the x-coordinates: \[ \frac{x + 2}{2} = \frac{5}{2} \] - For the y-coordinates: \[ \frac{y - 1}{2} = 3 \] - For the z-coordinates: \[ \frac{z + 2}{2} = 4 \] 5. **Solve for x, y, and z:** - From the x-coordinate equation: \[ x + 2 = 5 \implies x = 5 - 2 = 3 \] - From the y-coordinate equation: \[ y - 1 = 6 \implies y = 6 + 1 = 7 \] - From the z-coordinate equation: \[ z + 2 = 8 \implies z = 8 - 2 = 6 \] 6. **Conclusion:** The coordinates of the fourth vertex \( D \) are: \[ D = (3, 7, 6) \] ### Final Answer: The coordinates of the fourth vertex of the parallelogram are \( D(3, 7, 6) \).
