Fourth vertex of a parallelogram
Find the fourth vertex D of the parallelogram ABCD with A(0,0), B(3,0), and C(4,2). In a parallelogram the two diagonals AC and BD bisect each other, so they share a midpoint.
The midpoint of AC is (20+4,20+2)=(2,1). Writing D(x,y), the midpoint of BD is (23+x,20+y), which must equal (2,1); hence x=1, y=2, that is D(1,2). The large dots mark the four vertices, with AB∥DC and AD∥BC.
