Concept:

Properties of a parallelogram

  • The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.

  • Opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent.

  • Opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent.


Calculation:

Diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other,

Let the point of intersection of diagonals be P(x, y)

So, P is mid-point of AC,

 

Let the Fourth vertex be D (xD, yD)

P is mid-point of BD,

  

(xD, yD) = (1, 2)

Fourth vertex of the parallelogram is D = (1, 2)
