Math Problem Statement
Solution
We are given that ABCD is a square, and the coordinates of points and are:
Since is a square, the side lengths must all be equal, and the sides are perpendicular to each other.
Step 1: Calculate the side length of the square
The distance between points and is along the horizontal (x-axis), so we can calculate the side length using the difference in the x-coordinates of and :
Step 2: Determine the coordinates of and
- The side is vertical, parallel to the y-axis, so the x-coordinate of point is the same as point , which is 3.
- Since the side length is 7, we add 7 to the y-coordinate of , which gives us the y-coordinate of point :
- Similarly, point is directly to the right of point , so it will have the same y-coordinate as , which is 11.
- The x-coordinate of point will be the same as point , which is 10.
Thus, the coordinates of point are:
Final Answer:
The coordinates of point are .
