The correct Answer is:
To find the coordinates of vertex C of triangle ABC given the coordinates of vertices A and B and the centroid, we can use the formula for the centroid of a triangle. The centroid (G) of a triangle with vertices A(x1, y1, z1), B(x2, y2, z2), and C(x3, y3, z3) is given by: \[ G = \left( \frac{x1 + x2 + x3}{3}, \frac{y1 + y2 + y3}{3}, \frac{z1 + z2 + z3}{3} \right) \] ### Step 1: Identify the coordinates of A and B The coordinates of the vertices are: - A(-5, 7, 3) - B(7, -6, -1) Let the coordinates of vertex C be \( C(x, y, z) \). ### Step 2: Set up the equations for the centroid The coordinates of the centroid G are given as (1, 1, 1). Therefore, we can set up the following equations based on the centroid formula: 1. For the x-coordinate: \[ \frac{-5 + 7 + x}{3} = 1 \] 2. For the y-coordinate: \[ \frac{7 - 6 + y}{3} = 1 \] 3. For the z-coordinate: \[ \frac{3 - 1 + z}{3} = 1 \] ### Step 3: Solve for x From the first equation: \[ \frac{-5 + 7 + x}{3} = 1 \] Multiply both sides by 3: \[ -5 + 7 + x = 3 \] Simplify: \[ 2 + x = 3 \] Thus, \[ x = 3 - 2 = 1 \] ### Step 4: Solve for y From the second equation: \[ \frac{7 - 6 + y}{3} = 1 \] Multiply both sides by 3: \[ 7 - 6 + y = 3 \] Simplify: \[ 1 + y = 3 \] Thus, \[ y = 3 - 1 = 2 \] ### Step 5: Solve for z From the third equation: \[ \frac{3 - 1 + z}{3} = 1 \] Multiply both sides by 3: \[ 3 - 1 + z = 3 \] Simplify: \[ 2 + z = 3 \] Thus, \[ z = 3 - 2 = 1 \] ### Conclusion The coordinates of vertex C are: \[ C(1, 2, 1) \]

To find the coordinates of vertex C of triangle ABC given the coordinates of vertices A and B and the centroid, we can use the formula for the centroid of a triangle. The centroid (G) of a triangle with vertices A(x1, y1, z1), B(x2, y2, z2), and C(x3, y3, z3) is given by: \[ G = \left( \frac{x1 + x2 + x3}{3}, \frac{y1 + y2 + y3}{3}, \frac{z1 + z2 + z3}{3} \right) \] ### Step 1: Identify the coordinates of A and B The coordinates of the vertices are: ...
