Respuesta :

The value of n is 0 and the coordinate of D is at (0, -2)

Find the coordinate of the plane attached.

Given the following coordinates:

C = (0, -2)

D = (n, -2)

E = (n, 2)

Get the distance from point D to point E using the distance formula:

[tex]DE=\sqrt{(2+2)^2+(n-n)} \\DE=\sqrt{(4)^2} \\DE=4 units[/tex]

Get the distance from point D to point C using the distance formula:

[tex]DC=\sqrt{(2+2)^2+(n-n)} \\DC=\sqrt{(4)^2+n^2} \\DC=\sqrt{16+n^2}[/tex]

If the distance from point D to point E is equal to the distance from point D to point C, hence;

[tex]\sqrt{16+n^2}=4\\16+n^2=4^2\\n^2=16-16\\n=0[/tex]

Get the coordinate of point D(n, -2)

D = (0, -2)

Hence the value of n is 0 and the coordinate of D is at (0, -2)
