Answer:

A (3, 4)

Explanation:

A has to be positioned horizontally along B. This means its x coordinate is the same as x-coordinate of B which is 4

A also has to be positioned vertically below C. This means its y coordinate is the same as the y-coordinate of C. So y-coordinate of A is 3

So coordinates of A are (3, 4)
