Question 322758: In a diagram, a square named PQRS is tilted on its side so that vertex Q is on point (0,4) and vertex P is on (5,0). What is the coordinate of vertex S (the vertex oppisite vertex Q) ? Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
That would depend, of course, on which side of the line segment PQ you construct the rest of the square. Is the origin (0,0) inside or outside of the square?
Using the properties of congruent triangles, you can have or
