The correct Answer is:
To find the coordinates of vertex C of triangle ABC given the vertices A(6, 4), B(-2, 2), and the centroid G(3, 4), we can use the formula for the centroid of a triangle. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understand the Centroid Formula**: The coordinates of the centroid G of triangle ABC can be calculated using the formula: \[ G\left(\frac{x_1 + x_2 + x_3}{3}, \frac{y_1 + y_2 + y_3}{3}\right) \] where \( (x_1, y_1) \), \( (x_2, y_2) \), and \( (x_3, y_3) \) are the coordinates of vertices A, B, and C respectively. 2. **Assign Known Values**: We know: - A(6, 4) → \( x_1 = 6 \), \( y_1 = 4 \) - B(-2, 2) → \( x_2 = -2 \), \( y_2 = 2 \) - G(3, 4) → \( G_x = 3 \), \( G_y = 4 \) - Let C be \( (x_3, y_3) \). 3. **Set Up the Equations**: Using the centroid formula, we can set up two equations: \[ \frac{6 + (-2) + x_3}{3} = 3 \] \[ \frac{4 + 2 + y_3}{3} = 4 \] 4. **Solve for \( x_3 \)**: From the first equation: \[ \frac{6 - 2 + x_3}{3} = 3 \] Simplifying: \[ \frac{4 + x_3}{3} = 3 \] Multiply both sides by 3: \[ 4 + x_3 = 9 \] Subtract 4 from both sides: \[ x_3 = 5 \] 5. **Solve for \( y_3 \)**: From the second equation: \[ \frac{4 + 2 + y_3}{3} = 4 \] Simplifying: \[ \frac{6 + y_3}{3} = 4 \] Multiply both sides by 3: \[ 6 + y_3 = 12 \] Subtract 6 from both sides: \[ y_3 = 6 \] 6. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the coordinates of vertex C are: \[ C(5, 6) \]
