Using the digits 0 to 9, at most one time each, fill in the boxes to create a square, with one of the vertices at (2,3). Hint: 2 and 3 are already used (so they cannot be used again); not all numbers will be used.

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

One vertex is at point (2,3).

Go 1 unit to the left and 5 units up, then the second vertex will be at the point (1,8).

Go 5 units to the right and 1 unit up, then the third vertex will be at point (6,9).

Go 1 unit to the right and 5 units down, then the fourth vertex will be at point (7,4).

Go 5 units to the left and 1 unit down to get into the vertex (2,3).

Since you always move one unit in one direction and 5 units in another direction, obtained quadrilateral will be a square.

See attached diagram for details.
