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 use the properties of the centroid. The centroid (G) of a triangle is the average of the coordinates of its vertices. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the coordinates of the given points:** - A(8, -9, 8) - B(1, 2, 3) - G(5, -2, 4) (the centroid) 2. **Let the coordinates of vertex C be (x, y, z).** 3. **Use the formula for the centroid:** The coordinates of the centroid G can be calculated using the formula: \[ G = \left( \frac{x_A + x_B + x_C}{3}, \frac{y_A + y_B + y_C}{3}, \frac{z_A + z_B + z_C}{3} \right) \] where \( (x_A, y_A, z_A) \) are the coordinates of A, \( (x_B, y_B, z_B) \) are the coordinates of B, and \( (x_C, y_C, z_C) \) are the coordinates of C. 4. **Set up the equations for each coordinate:** - For the x-coordinate: \[ \frac{8 + 1 + x}{3} = 5 \] Multiply both sides by 3: \[ 8 + 1 + x = 15 \] Simplifying gives: \[ x = 15 - 9 = 6 \] - For the y-coordinate: \[ \frac{-9 + 2 + y}{3} = -2 \] Multiply both sides by 3: \[ -9 + 2 + y = -6 \] Simplifying gives: \[ y = -6 + 7 = 1 \] - For the z-coordinate: \[ \frac{8 + 3 + z}{3} = 4 \] Multiply both sides by 3: \[ 8 + 3 + z = 12 \] Simplifying gives: \[ z = 12 - 11 = 1 \] 5. **Combine the results:** The coordinates of vertex C are (6, 1, 1). ### Final Answer: The coordinates of vertex C are **C(6, 1, 1)**.

To find the coordinates of vertex C of triangle ABC given the coordinates of vertices A and B and the centroid G, we can use the properties of the centroid. The centroid (G) of a triangle is the average of the coordinates of its vertices. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the coordinates of the given points:** - A(8, -9, 8) - B(1, 2, 3) - G(5, -2, 4) (the centroid) ...
