Question

dumbcow · Answer

not quite sure what they mean by greater than 0
i think C(a,0) and D(a,a)

okay.... But how did u get that?

dumbcow · Answer

its a square so all sides are same length (a)
so C needs to be on x-axis (a) length away from B
D needs to be length(a) away from both A and C
