    Question

    In parallelogram ABCD, coordinates are A(1, 2), B(5, 4)

    and C(7, 6). Find the coordinates of D and the area of the parallelogram.
    A (2,5) and 9 square units Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B (3,4) and 4 square units Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C (3,2) and 2 square units Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D (1,4) and 8 square units Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    In a parallelogram, A + C = B + D (vector form). Let D(x, y): A(1,2) + C(7,6) = B(5,4) + D(x,y) (1+7, 2+6) = (5 + x, 4 + y) (8, 8) = (5 + x, 4 + y) So x = 3, y = 4 D(3, 4) Area of parallelogram = magnitude of cross product of adjacent sides. Vectors AB = (5тИТ1, 4тИТ2) = (4,2) AD = (3тИТ1, 4тИТ2) = (2,2) Area = |ABтВУ┬╖ADс╡з тИТ ABс╡з┬╖ADтВУ| = |4├Ч2 тИТ 2├Ч2| = |8 тИТ 4| = 4 square units.
