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 G, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the formula for the centroid The centroid (G) of a triangle with vertices A(x1, y1, z1), B(x2, y2, z2), and C(x3, y3, z3) is given by the formula: \[ G = \left( \frac{x1 + x2 + x3}{3}, \frac{y1 + y2 + y3}{3}, \frac{z1 + z2 + z3}{3} \right) \] ### Step 2: Assign the known coordinates We have: - A(3, 2, -4) - B(-2, 3, -1) - G(3, 1, 0) - Let C's coordinates be (x, y, z) ### Step 3: Set up the equations Using the centroid formula, we can set up the following equations based on the coordinates of G: 1. For the x-coordinates: \[ 3 = \frac{3 + (-2) + x}{3} \] 2. For the y-coordinates: \[ 1 = \frac{2 + 3 + y}{3} \] 3. For the z-coordinates: \[ 0 = \frac{-4 + (-1) + z}{3} \] ### Step 4: Solve the equations **Equation 1 (x-coordinate):** \[ 3 = \frac{3 - 2 + x}{3} \] Multiply both sides by 3: \[ 9 = 1 + x \] Subtract 1 from both sides: \[ x = 8 \] **Equation 2 (y-coordinate):** \[ 1 = \frac{2 + 3 + y}{3} \] Multiply both sides by 3: \[ 3 = 5 + y \] Subtract 5 from both sides: \[ y = -2 \] **Equation 3 (z-coordinate):** \[ 0 = \frac{-4 - 1 + z}{3} \] Multiply both sides by 3: \[ 0 = -5 + z \] Add 5 to both sides: \[ z = 5 \] ### Step 5: Write the coordinates of vertex C Thus, the coordinates of vertex C are: \[ C(8, -2, 5) \] ### Final Answer The coordinates of vertex C are (8, -2, 5). ---

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