the two opposite vertices of a square are (3,2)and (7,6) . find coordinates of other two vrtices.

Let ABCD be a square and let A (3, 2) and C (7, 6) be the given points.

Let B(x1, y1) and D(x2, y2) is the unknown vertex.

Since, square have equal sides,

Therefore,

In triangle ABC, we have,

Substituting the value of x1 from equation (1) into equation (2), we get,

Substitute values of y1 in equation (1), we get,

Hence, other two vertices are B (3, 6) and D (7, 2).

take (x,y) as third vertice

and (a,b) as fourth vertice

use the distance formula for all four sides to get four eqautions

solve them to get the answer
