Three vertices of a square ABCD are A(2, 0), B(-3, 0) and C(-3, -5). Its fourth vertex D is:
(2, 5)
(2, -5)
(-2, 5)
(-2, -5)
Answer
The points are shown on the graph below:
Steps of construction :
Plot points A(2, 0), B(-3, 0) and C(-3, -5) on graph.
Measure AB.
Mark point D such that it is at a distance AB from points A and C.
Join AB, BC, CD and DA.
From graph,
The co-ordinates of fourth vertex D is (2, -5).
Hence, option 2 is the correct option.
