finding coordinates with 3 points

Zones: Math & Science Questions, C++ Programming Language, Visual Basic Programming

Hi,

I am trying to find the coordinates of some point on a piece of metal plate when it is slightly tilted.
the points if the metal plate is in place without any slanting, the next point will be + 10 cm (x) and + 10cm (y) from the first point.

Example first point is (5,10) so the 2nd point will be 15,10 and 3rd is 25,10

the points will be in this sequence

11 12 13 14
6 7 8 9 10
1 2 3 4 5

The above situation is easy when the plate is not slanted. But what if the plate is slanted how can i find the offsetted coordinates for the subsequence points after point number 1. Assuming that i have the points of point 1, point5 and point 14 of the plate when slanted.

to better illustrate this. i created a chart not drawn to scale.

thanks
