Three vertices of a parallelogram are (0, 0), (3, 5) and (6, 2). The fourth vertex equals:
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B.
1. If the parallelogram is ABCD with A = (0,0), B = (3,5), D = (6,2), the fourth vertex C lies opposite A.
2. By the textbook rule, in a parallelogram OBCD with O at origin, C = B + D = (3+6, 5+2) = (9, 7).
3. The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, and this rule encodes that condition.
4. So C = (9, 7).
5. None of the other choices satisfy the diagonal-bisection property.
