ABCD is a rectangle with vertex A(0,0) as shown in below figure. If C =(5,6) then find the coordinates of B and D.
B =(5,0)
D =(0,6)
Given C =(5,6) and A =(0,0)
The distance to C from X-axis =6 units
∴ BC =AD =6 units
The distance to C from Y -axis =5 units
∴ AB = CD =5 units
∵ B lies on X -axis and AB =5
∴ coordinate of B =(5,0)
and D lies on Y -axis and AD =6
∴ D =(0,6)
∴ B =(5,0) and D =(0,6)
