OABC is a square ,O is the origin and the points A and B are (3,0) and (p,q). If OABC lies in the first quadrant , find the values of p and q . Also write down the equations of AB and BC

Because point A us 3 units away from y-axis, and all sides of a square are equal.
∴ C must be 3 units away from x-axis
& B must be 3 units away from both x and y axis
∴ coordinates of B (3,3)
∴ p= 3, q= 3
Equation of line AB
as AB passes through (3,0)
∴ x=3 (equation of AB)
Similarly,
BC passes through (0,3)
∴ y= 3 ( equation of BC)
