Three vertices of a parallelogram are A(-2,2), B(6,2),C(4,-3). Plot these points on a graph paper and hence use it to find co-ordinate of the fourth vertex D. Also, find the co-ordinates of the mid-point of the side CD. What is the area of the parallelogram ?

Answer»

Solution :Plot the points `A(-2,2), B(6,2)` and `C(4,-3)` as usual. COMPLETE the parallelogram ABCD. From the graph, the co-ordinates of the point D are `(-4,-3)`. The co-ordinates of the mid-points M of CD are `(0,-3)`.
From the FIGURE, CD=8 units and the height of the parallelogram ABCD corresponding to the side CD=5 units.
`therefore` The area of parallelogram ABCD = (`8xx5`) sq.units =40sq.units
