Solution

Draw AE, DF parallel to x-axis and BE, CF parallel to y-axis, as shown in the figure above.

Now, in right triangles ABE and DCF,

AB = DC

BAE = CDF

ABE = DCF

Therefore, AE = DF and BE = CF

Hence AE = DF = 8 -3 = 5 and BE = CF = 4 - 2 = 2

Now, x-coordinate of C = 5 + DF = 5 + 5 = 10

y-coordinate of C = 7 + CF = 7 + 2 = 9

Therefore coordinates of C is (10,9).
