Topic: Distance Between Two Points

In a classroom, friends are seated at the points , , and as shown in Fig. Champa and Chameli walk into the class and after observing for a few minutes Champa asks

Chameli, Dont you think is a square? Chameli disagrees. Using distance formula, find which of them is correct. 

Solution

According to the fig. ), , and are the position of friends .

If we join all these point then

if we join the point and than 

Diagonal

Diagonal

Hence all the sides of quadrilateral are same and the diagonal are also same so is a square.

Hence Champa is correct.

Name the type of quadrilateral formed, if any, by the following points, and give reasons for your answer:

(i)

(ii)

(iii)

Solution

(i) Let the given points are , , and Then,

Since the four sides and are equal  and the diagonals and are equal .

Quadrilateral   is a square.

(ii)Let the given points are , , and Then

Here

it is not a quadrilateral.

(iii)Let the given points are , , and Then

Here . But

Hence the pairs of opposite sides are equal but diagonal are not equal so it is a parallelogram.

The Class students of a secondary school in Krishinagar have been allotted a rectangular plot of land for their gardening activity. Sapling of Gulmoharare planted on the

boundary at a distance of m from each other. There is a triangular grassy lawn in the plot as shown in the Fig. The students are to sow seeds of flowering plants on

the remaining area of the plot.

(i) Taking as origin, find the coordinates of the vertices of the triangle.

(ii) What will be the coordinates of the vertices of  if is the origin?

Also calculate the areas of the triangles in these cases. What do you observe?

Solution

(i)  If we take as origin then is -axis and is the -axis Then the coordinates of the vertices of is 

(ii)  If we take as origin then is -axis and is the -axis Then the coordinates of the vertices of is 

 Area of the triangle =

First case-

Area of

Sq.unit

Second  case-

Area of

Sq.unit

Hence we observed that the area of the triangle in both case is equal.
