Longitude is the angular distance of a place east or west of the Greenwich meridian, or west of the standard meridian of a celestial object, usually expressed in degrees and minutes.

The Polynesians developed the fine art of navigation by stars, inherited from the early arab navigators. Arabians used hand measures to measure the height of the star above the horizon to determine their latitude according to the angle determined.

Wany words does that message have?
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

  (4, 3)

Explanation:

<u>Short answer</u>: when the coordinates are on horizontal and vertical lines, as these are, each coordinate value is used twice. Already, x=0 is used twice, as is y=0, so the missing coordinate is x=4, y=3.

The fourth vertex is (4, 3).

_____

<u>Longer answer</u>: The midpoints of the diagonals are the same point, so for rectangle ABCD, we have ...

  (A+C)/2 = (B+D)/2

Solving for D, we find ...

  D = A +C -B

In clockwise order, the points given are ...

  A = (4, 0), B = (0, 0), C = (0, 3)

so we have ...

  D = (4, 0) +(0, 3) -(0, 0) = (4+0-0, 0+3-0)

  D = (4, 3) . . . . the coordinates of the fourth vertex.
