for the parallelogram find coordinates for p without using any new variables

1 answer

The coordinates for point P in a parallelogram can be found based on the coordinates of the other three points of the parallelogram. Let's say the coordinates of the 4 points of the parallelogram are A(x1, y1), B(x2, y2), C(x3, y3), and D(x4, y4).

To find the coordinates of point P without using any new variables, you can use the fact that for a parallelogram, the opposite sides are equal in length and parallel to each other. Therefore, point P will be diagonally opposite to point A.

The coordinates of point P can be found by using the following formulas:
x-coordinate of P = x2 + (x1 - x3)
y-coordinate of P = y2 + (y1 - y3)

By substituting the coordinates of points A, B, and C into the above formulas, you can calculate the coordinates of point P without using any new variables.
