Detailed Solution

Let the third vertex be (h, k).

Question Image

Now, the slope of AD is (k - 2)/(h - 1), the slope of BC is (5 + 3)l(-2 - 4)=4/3, the slope of BE is (-3 -2)/(4 - 1) = 5/3, and the 

slope of AC is (k - 5)/(h + 2).

Since  ADBC,
we have k2h1×43=1
or 3h-4k+5=0 (i)
Again, since BEAC, we have
53×k5h+2=1
or 3h - 5k +31 = 0 (ii)
On solving (i) and (ii), we get h=33, k=26.Hence, the third vertex is (33, 26).
