The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the coordinates of the fourth vertex D of the square ABCD and then calculate the area of the square. ### Step 1: Identify the coordinates of points A, B, and C. - A(4, 3) - B(-3, 3) - C(-3, -4) ### Step 2: Determine the coordinates of point D. Since ABCD is a square, we can use the property that the diagonals of a square bisect each other. 1. **Find the midpoints of the diagonal AC:** - Midpoint M of AC = \(\left(\frac{x_A + x_C}{2}, \frac{y_A + y_C}{2}\right)\) - Substituting the coordinates: \[ M = \left(\frac{4 + (-3)}{2}, \frac{3 + (-4)}{2}\right) = \left(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{-1}{2}\right) \] 2. **Find the coordinates of D using the midpoint of diagonal BD:** - Let D be (x, y). The midpoint M of BD should also equal M of AC. - Midpoint M of BD = \(\left(\frac{x_B + x_D}{2}, \frac{y_B + y_D}{2}\right)\) - Substituting the coordinates: \[ M = \left(\frac{-3 + x}{2}, \frac{3 + y}{2}\right) \] - Setting the midpoints equal: \[ \frac{-3 + x}{2} = \frac{1}{2} \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{3 + y}{2} = \frac{-1}{2} \] 3. **Solving for x:** \[ -3 + x = 1 \implies x = 1 + 3 = 4 \] 4. **Solving for y:** \[ 3 + y = -1 \implies y = -1 - 3 = -4 \] Thus, the coordinates of point D are \(D(4, -4)\). ### Step 3: Calculate the area of square ABCD. The area of a square is given by the formula: \[ \text{Area} = \text{side}^2 \] 1. **Calculate the length of one side (AB):** - Using the distance formula: \[ AB = \sqrt{(x_B - x_A)^2 + (y_B - y_A)^2} \] - Substituting the coordinates: \[ AB = \sqrt{(-3 - 4)^2 + (3 - 3)^2} = \sqrt{(-7)^2 + 0} = \sqrt{49} = 7 \] 2. **Calculate the area:** \[ \text{Area} = 7^2 = 49 \] ### Final Answers: (i) The coordinates of D are \(D(4, -4)\). (ii) The area of square ABCD is \(49\) square units.
