Understand the problem

• Jessica is on duty at entrance A.
• The distance of Resma’s duty position from Jessica is 4 units
horizontally and 3 units vertically.
• Find the coordinate of Resma’s duty position.

Plan the strategy On the Cartesian plane, mark the distance of 4 units
horizontally and 3 units vertically from entrance A.
