Answer :
According to the distance formula, the distance 'd' between two points (a,b) and (c,d) is given by
.....(1)
Slope of a line between two points (a,b) and (c,d) is
In the given question, for it to be a parallelogram AD = BC and slope AD = Slope BC
And
AB = DC and Slope AB = Slope CD
Let D be (x,y)
As AD = BC we get
=
= 2 ....i
As AB = CD we get
=
= 4
.....ii
As slope AD = Slope BC
....iii
As slope AB = Slope DC
.....iv
From iii we gey y = 6
Putting y = 6 in (i) we get
x = 3
and putting y = 6 in (ii) we get x = 7
Hence the possible coordinates of the point D are (7,6) and (3,6).
