Question 618392: In the coordinate plane, 3 vertices of rectangle MNOP are M(0,0) N(0,c) P(d,0). What are the coordinates of point O?
I am trying to help my daughter with this and sadly do not know where to begin to show her how to figure this out. Can you point me in the right direction? I tried using graph paper and drawing it out, but still remain lost.

Hi,

In the coordinate plane, 3 vertices of rectangle MNOP are M(0,0) N(0,c) P(d,0). 

What are the coordinates of point O? O(d,c)

Hope this sketch helps: Pt O needs to up from Pt P to the height of Pt N
