Answer:

Coordinate of C = (22, 20)

The Complete Question related to this found at ELEVISE website is stated below:

A pattern is made from four identical squares. The sides of the squares are parallel to the axes. Point A has the coordinates (6, 7)

Point B has the coordinates (38, 36)

Point C is marked on the diagram.

Work out the coordinates of C.

Explanation:

Coordinates (x, y)

Point A has the coordinates (6, 7)

Point B has the coordinates (38, 36)

Find attached the drawing

From the labelled diagram

Change in y = 36-7 = 29

Change in x = 38-6 = 32

Using the horizontal axis:

The length of congruent 4 squares is between 38 and 6 = 32

The length of each congruent 4 squares = 32/4

The length of each congruent 4 squares = 8

Therefore the dimensions of the square is 8 by 8

Coordinate of C (x, y)

For x axis = 38 - length of 2 squares OR 6+ length of 2 squares

38 - length of 2 squares =38 - 2(8)

= 38-16 = 22

For y axis = 36 - length of 2 squares

= 36 - 2(8)

= 36-16 = 20

Coordinate of C = (22, 20)
