SOLUTION: How do you find unknown coordinates for the vertices of a polygon without introducing any new variables. One side of the square lies on the x-axis and one side lies on the y-axis.

Question 160621: How do you find unknown coordinates for the vertices of a polygon without introducing any new variables. One side of the square lies on the x-axis and one side lies on the y-axis. Vertex A in on the origin. Vertex B lies on the Y-axis, Vertex C's coordinates are (t,t) Vertex D coordinates are (t,0) How would I find coordinates for vertex A; and vertex B? I think A would be (0,0) because it's on the origin. But then I get lost> Can you help?

Vertex in on the origin, so Vertex coordinates are (,).
Vertex lies on the , so coordinates are (,)
Vertex coordinates are (,)
Vertex lies on the , so coordinates are (,)
