Question
A rectangle whose length and breadth are 5 and 3 units respectively, has a vertex at the origin. The longer side lies on the x-axis and one of the vertices lies in the first quadrant. What are the coordinates of the vertices?
Answer: Option B
:
B
The coordinates of point A is (0, 0), the longer side lies on the x-axis, therefore, moving 5 units right of the origin, the coordinate of point B is (5, 0).
The breadth of the rectangle is 3 units, so moving towards the y axis from originby 3 units, the coordinates of D will be (0,3).
Joining all the points, the coordinates of C is (5,3).
