Solution
Given, length of a rectangle = 5 units
Breadth of a rectangle = 3 units
One vertex is at origin i.e, (0, 0) and one of the other vertices lies in III quadrant.
So, the length of the rectangle is 5 units in the negative direction of x-axis and then the vertex A is (-5, 0).
Also, the breadth of the rectangle is 3 units in the negative direction of the y-axis and then the vertex C is (0,-3). The fourth vertex B is (-5,-3).
