If (1, 2), (4, y), (x, 6) and (3, 5) are the vertices of a parallelogram taken in order, find x and y


Let (1, 2), (4, y), (x, 6), and (3, 5) are the coordinates of A, B, C, D vertices of a parallelogram ABCD.

Intersectionpoint O of diagonal AC and BD also divides these diagonals.


Therefore, O is the mid-point of AC and BD



If O is the mid-point of AC, then the coordinates of O are:


() = (, 4)


If O is the mid-point of BD, then the coordinates of O are:


(, ) = (, )


Since both the coordinates are of the same point O



x + 1 = 7


x = 6


And,


= 4


5 + y = 8


y = 3
