The coordinates of B and D are the location of the vertices B and D in the rectangle

The coordinates of B and D are (55, 30) and (55, 14)

From the figure of the rectangle, we have:

A = (25,30)

C = (40, 22)

Point B has the same y-coordinate as point A

So, we have:

B = (x, 30)

The x-coordinate is then calculated as:

Bx = 2Cx - Ax

This gives

Bx = 2*40 - 25

Bx = 55

So, the coordinates of B are:

B = (55, 30)

Point D has the same x-coordinate as point B

So, we have:

D = (55, y)

The y-coordinate is then calculated as:

Dy = Cy - (By - Cy)

This gives

Dy = 22 - (30 - 22)

Dy = 14

So, the coordinates of B are:

D = (55, 14)

Hence, the coordinates of B and D are (55, 30) and (55, 14)
