Worked solution

24(b)

1. Determine the grid vector for line segment AB.

Let the coordinates of A be (xA,yA)(x_A, y_A) and B be (xB,yB)(x_B, y_B). The vector AB⃗\vec{AB} is given by the horizontal and vertical grid steps from A to B. Suppose AB⃗=(pq)\vec{AB} = \begin{pmatrix} p \\ q \end{pmatrix}.

2. Determine the grid vector for AE to satisfy $\angle BAE = 90^\circ$ and $AB = AE$.

For ∠BAE=90∘\angle BAE = 90^\circ and AB=AEAB = AE, the vector AE⃗\vec{AE} must be a 90∘90^\circ rotation of AB⃗\vec{AB}. A 90∘90^\circ rotation of (pq)\begin{pmatrix} p \\ q \end{pmatrix} gives either (−qp)\begin{pmatrix} -q \\ p \end{pmatrix} or (q−p)\begin{pmatrix} q \\ -p \end{pmatrix}. Both preserve the length (since (−q)2+p2=p2+q2\sqrt{(-q)^2 + p^2} = \sqrt{p^2 + q^2}) and are perpendicular to AB⃗\vec{AB}.

3. Locate point E and draw triangle ABE.

From point A, move according to the vector AE⃗\vec{AE} to locate point E. Draw the line segments AE and BE to complete the triangle ABE.

Answer

Point E is plotted such that AE is perpendicular to AB and has the same length as AB. Triangle ABE is drawn.
