Question

In the coordinate plane, two vertices of square ABCD are A (0, 0) and B (0, m). What are the coordinates of points C and D? Do not introduce any new variables.

Answer 1

The coordinate of point C is (m,m) and the coordinate of point D is (m,0).

Explanation:

Square:

In a square, all sides have the same length.

A (0, 0) and B (0, m).

This means that the length of the sides is m.

So:

From A, adding m vertically, we get point (0,m), which is B.

From A, adding m horizontally, we get point (m,0), which I will call D.

From B, adding m horizontally, we get point (m,m), which I will call C.

The coordinate of point C is (m,m) and the coordinate of point D is (m,0).
