Answer:

y = 30- 2 = 28

28/4=7

So 7 per side of the square. x would then be 27-7-7= 13 counting from the top

y would be 2+7+7=16

(13,16)

The coordinates of point C are (Cx, Cy) is (15,16).

As we can see, point C lies half the distance of AB

So we can use the midpoint formula to get the coordinates of C

we have this as:

(x,y) = (x1 + x2)/2 , (y1 + y2)/2

(x1,y1) = (3,2)

(x2,y2) = (27,30)

Thus, we have

(x,y) = (3 + 27)/2, (30 + 2)/2

(x,y) = 30/2 , 32/2

(x,y) = (15,16)
