The correct Answer is:
To find the coordinates of the fourth vertex \( D \) of the parallelogram \( ABCD \) given the vertices \( A(3, -1, 5) \), \( B(1, -2, -4) \), and \( C(0, 3, 0) \), we can use the property that the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Coordinates of Points A, B, and C:** - \( A(3, -1, 5) \) - \( B(1, -2, -4) \) - \( C(0, 3, 0) \) 2. **Find the Midpoint \( O \) of Diagonal \( AC \):** The midpoint \( O \) of segment \( AC \) can be calculated using the midpoint formula: \[ O = \left( \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2}, \frac{z_1 + z_2}{2} \right) \] Substituting the coordinates of \( A \) and \( C \): \[ O = \left( \frac{3 + 0}{2}, \frac{-1 + 3}{2}, \frac{5 + 0}{2} \right) = \left( \frac{3}{2}, 1, \frac{5}{2} \right) \] 3. **Express the Coordinates of Point D:** Let the coordinates of point \( D \) be \( D(x, y, z) \). Since \( O \) is also the midpoint of diagonal \( BD \), we can write: \[ O = \left( \frac{1 + x}{2}, \frac{-2 + y}{2}, \frac{-4 + z}{2} \right) \] 4. **Set Up the Equations:** Since both expressions for \( O \) are equal, we can equate the corresponding components: - For the x-coordinates: \[ \frac{1 + x}{2} = \frac{3}{2} \] - For the y-coordinates: \[ \frac{-2 + y}{2} = 1 \] - For the z-coordinates: \[ \frac{-4 + z}{2} = \frac{5}{2} \] 5. **Solve for x, y, and z:** - From the x-coordinate equation: \[ 1 + x = 3 \implies x = 3 - 1 = 2 \] - From the y-coordinate equation: \[ -2 + y = 2 \implies y = 2 + 2 = 4 \] - From the z-coordinate equation: \[ -4 + z = 5 \implies z = 5 + 4 = 9 \] 6. **Conclusion:** The coordinates of the fourth vertex \( D \) are: \[ D(2, 4, 9) \] ### Final Answer: The coordinates of the fourth vertex \( D \) are \( (2, 4, 9) \). ---
