The correct Answer is:
To find the values of \(x\) and \(y\) for the vertices of the parallelogram \(A(1,2)\), \(B(4,y)\), \(C(x,6)\), and \(D(3,5)\), we can use the property that the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Midpoints of the Diagonals:** The midpoints of the diagonals \(AC\) and \(BD\) must be equal. - The midpoint \(O\) of diagonal \(AC\) can be calculated as: \[ O_{AC} = \left( \frac{1 + x}{2}, \frac{2 + 6}{2} \right) = \left( \frac{1 + x}{2}, 4 \right) \] - The midpoint \(O\) of diagonal \(BD\) can be calculated as: \[ O_{BD} = \left( \frac{4 + 3}{2}, \frac{y + 5}{2} \right) = \left( \frac{7}{2}, \frac{y + 5}{2} \right) \] 2. **Set the Midpoints Equal:** Since the midpoints are equal, we can set the x-coordinates and y-coordinates equal to each other: - For the x-coordinates: \[ \frac{1 + x}{2} = \frac{7}{2} \] - For the y-coordinates: \[ 4 = \frac{y + 5}{2} \] 3. **Solve for \(x\):** From the equation \( \frac{1 + x}{2} = \frac{7}{2} \): \[ 1 + x = 7 \] \[ x = 7 - 1 = 6 \] 4. **Solve for \(y\):** From the equation \( 4 = \frac{y + 5}{2} \): \[ 8 = y + 5 \] \[ y = 8 - 5 = 3 \] 5. **Final Result:** The values of \(x\) and \(y\) are: \[ (x, y) = (6, 3) \] ### Conclusion: Thus, the coordinates \((x, y)\) are \((6, 3)\).
