Write the coordinates of vertices of a rectangle OABC, where O is the origin, length OA = 5 units lying along x-axis, breadth AB = 3 units and B lying in the fourth quadrant.
It is given in the question that,
OABC is a rectangle where O is the origin and OA = 5 units along x-axis
Also, AB = 3 units and B lies in the fourth quadrant
Now, coordinates of origin, O = (0, 0)
As point A lies on the x-axis
∴ Coordinate of point A = (5, 0)
Also, point B lies in the fourth quadrant
So, coordinate of point B will be negative
As the given width AB = 3 units
∴ Coordinates of point B = (5, -3)
Also, point C and O lies on the same line
Thus, abscissa of C = abscissa of O = 0
Similarly, Point C and B lies on the same altitude
Hence, both points have equal altitude
∴ Coordinates of C = (0, -3)
Hence, the coordinates of the vertices of the given rectangle are:
O (0, 0), A (5, 0), B (5, -3) and C (0, -3)
