To find the coordinates of point Q.
Answer to Problem 24CR
The coordinate of point Q is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
OPQR is a parallelogram, where O is at the origin and coordinates of point R and P are (b, c) and (a, 0) respectively.
Calculation:
Since R and Q are on the same straight line parallel to x-axis therefore there ordinate must be same, hence ordinate of Q is c.
From the figure it is clear that RQ is parallel and equal to OP (O is at the origin) therefore abscissa of Q must be equal to abscissa of R added by abscissa of P, hence abscissa of Q is
Therefore,
The coordinate of point Q is
