The rectangle ABCD has vertices at A = (1, 2, 3), B = (3, 6, −2), and C = (0, 2, −6). Determine the coordinates of vertex D.

 

 

The answer according to the book is:  D = (-2, -2, -1)

Okay, I think I see where the  (-2, -2, -1)  came from, but I am still confused about this question and I want to see what others have to say.

The rectangle ABCD has vertices at A = (1, 2, 3), B = (3, 6, −2), and C = (0, 2, −6).

Determine the coordinates of vertex D.


BA=CD(362)(123)=(026)(xDyDzD)(316223)=(026)(xDyDzD)(245)=(026)(xDyDzD)(xDyDzD)=(026)(245)(xDyDzD)=(02246(5))(xDyDzD)=(02246+5)(xDyDzD)=(221)

 

D=(221)
