the coordinates of the fourth vertex DD.
Solution:  
Let the coordinate of DD be (x,y)(x, y). In a parallelogram, mid point of diagonal AC coincides with the mid-point of diagonal BD.
Mid point of AC=(;3+32,;6+22)=(3,4)AC= \left( \\;\frac{3+3}{2}, \\;\frac{6+2}{2} \right) =(3,4)
Mid point of BD=(;x+52,;y+102)BD= \left( \\;\frac{x+5}{2}, \\;\frac{y+10}{2} \right)
∵\because Mid point of AC=A C= Mid point of BDB D
(3,4)=(;x+52,;y+102)(3,4)= \left( \\;\frac{x+5}{2}, \\;\frac{y+10}{2} \right)
Equating,
;3=;x+52; and ;4=;y+102\\;3=\\;\frac{x+5}{2} \\;\text{ and }\\; 4=\\;\frac{y+10}{2}
;x=1;;; and ;y=−2\\;x=1 \\;\\; \\;\text{ and }\\; y=-2
