the mid points of the sides of a triangle are (3,4) , (4,1) , (2,0).find the coordinates of the vertices of the triangle.

Let A(x 1 ,y 1 ) , B(x 2 ,y 2 ), C(x 3 ,y 3 ) be the vertices of a triangle and D(3,4),E(4,1),F(2,0)be the midpoint of sides AB,BCand CA
Then by midpoint formula,
(x1+x2/2 , y1+y2/2)=(3,4)
x1+x2/2 =3
x1+x2=6
(y1+y2/2)=4
y1+y2=8
