Let, ABCD be a square And


A( 3,4 ) AND C ( 1,-1 ) are the given angular points.


Let N ( x,y ) be the unknown vertex.


Then after that, AB = BC


AB² = BC²


( x-3 )² + ( y-4 )² = ( x-1 )² + ( y+1 )²


4x + 10y - 23 = 0


x = 23-10y/4  --- ( 1 )


Now, In Δ ABC,


AB² + BC² = AC²


(x-3)² + (y-4)² + (x-1)² + (y+1)² = (3-1)² + (4+1)²  --- (ii)


x²+y²-4x-3y-1 = 0


Substitute (i) into (ii) ,


(23-10y/4 )² + y² - (23-10y) -3y-1 = 0


4y² - 12y + 5 = 0


( 2y-1 ) ( 2y-5 )= 0


y = 1/2 or 5/2


Put, y = 1/2 and y = 5/2 in ( i) equation!


Than we get the value of x :-


x = 9/2  and x = -1/2.


Hence, The required vertices of square = ( 9/2 , 1/2 ) and ( -1/2, 5/2 ).


Thank you.
