Chapter 13.8, Problem 1WE

To determine

To find: the missing coordinate of the given figures without introducing any new letters.

Answer to Problem 1WE

In the x-axis the missing point is $\left(\text{a,0}\right)$ and in the y-axis the missing point is $\left(\text{0,b}\right)$

Explanation of Solution

Given information : The given figure of rectangle is shown below

  

It is known that in the xy-cordinate point $\left(\text{a,b}\right)$ is obtained by moving a distance in the x-axis and b distance in y-coordinate.

Also in x-axis y coordinate is 0.

Similarly, in y-axis x coordinate is 0.

Therefore, in the x-axis the missing point is $\left(\text{a,0}\right)$ and in the y-axis the missing point is $\left(\text{0,b}\right)$
