Question 6.
The length and breadth of a rectangle are a units and 6 units respectively, one vertex at origin. The length runs along positive x-axis and breadth on positive y-axis. Find the coordinates of the vertices of the rectangle.
Solution :
One vertex of a rectangle is origin. So its coordinates are A(0,0). Since, length runs along positive x-axis and breadth runs along positive y-axis. As length is a units and breadth is b units. So, the coordinates of IInd, IVth vertices are B(a, 0) and D(0, b) respectively. Distance of third vertex C from y-axis is a units and distance of third vertex C from x-axis is b units. So the coordinates of vertex Care (a, b). See in figure.
