Three vertices of a rectangle ABCD are A(3, 1), B(–3, 1) and C(–3, 3). Plot these points on a graph paper and find the coordinates of the fourth vertex D.
Three vertices of a rectangle ABCD are A(3, 1), B(–3, 1) and C(–3, 3). Plot these points on a graph paper and find the coordinates of the fourth vertex D. Also, find the area of rectangle ABCD.
Let A(3, 1), B(–3, 1) and C(–3, 3) be three vertices of a rectangle ABCD.
Let A(3, 1), B(–3, 1) and C(–3, 3) be three vertices of a rectangle ABCD.
Abscissa of D = Abscissa of A = 3.
Ordinate of D = Ordinate of C = 3.
∴ coordinates of D are (3, 3).
AB = (BP + PA) = (3 + 3) units = 6 units.
BC = (OQ – OP) = (3 – 1) units = 2 units.
Ar(rectangle ABCD) = (AB × BC)
= (6 × 2) sq. units
= 12 sq. units
Hence, the area of rectangle ABCD is 12 square units.
