Graph the coordinate plane and locate the points A and B. lies on vertical gridline.
Since triangle ABD has right angle at B, is perpendicular to
.
Find the length of from the graph.
Since is the shorter leg,
is the longer leg. \ \
Triangle ABD is a 30°- 60°- 90° triangle.
\The 30°- 60°- 90° triangle has the property that the length of its longer leg is
\ times to the length of the shorter leg.
(Substitute AB = 3)
(Multiply)
The x-coordinate of the point D is or 13.2.
The y-coordinate of the point D is as same as y-coordinate of the point B.
The coordinates of the point D are or about
.
