Hi Friends and Champs,
Before proceeding to the next exercise , let's recall the position of a point in a xy plane , which you have already read in class ix .
Abscissa - or x-coordinate , the distance of a point form y-axis. and
ordinate - or y-coordinate, the distance of a point from x- axis .
Distance between two points in a plane xy.
Lets two points are P(x1,y1 ) and Q (x2,y2), then distance between them is :
PQ = √ [(x2 - x1)2 + (y2 - y1)2]
1. Find the distance between the following pairs of points :
(i) (2, 3), (4, 1)
(ii) (– 5, 7), (– 1, 3)
(iii) (a, b), (– a, – b)
Solution:
(i) Distance = √ [(x2 - x1)2 + (y2 - y1)2]
=> √ [(4 - 2)2 + (1 - 3)2]
=>√ [(22 + (- 2)2]
=>√ [(8]
=> 2√2
(ii) (– 5, 7), (– 1, 3)
Distance = √ [(x2 - x1)2 + (y2 - y1)2]
=> √ [(-1 - (-5))2 + (3 - 7)2]
=>√ [(42 + (- 4)2]
=>√ [(32)]
=> 4√2
(iii) (a, b), (– a, – b)
Distance = √ [(x2 - x1)2 + (y2 - y1)2]
=> √ [(-a - a)2 + (-b - b)2]
=>√ [(4a2 + 4b2)]
=> 2√ (a2 + b2)
2. Find the distance between the points (0, 0) and (36, 15). Can you now find the distance
between the two towns A and B discussed in Section 7.2.
Solution:
Distance = √ [(x2 - x1)2 + (y2 - y1)2]
=> √ [(36 - 0)2 + (15 - 0)2]
=>√ [(1296 + 225)]
=> √ 1521
=> 39 ( question is same for section 7.2 also ).
3. Determine if the points (1, 5), (2, 3) and (– 2, – 11) are collinear.
Solution: Let's the point are P(1, 5), Q(2, 3) and R(– 2, – 11)
PQ = √ [(2 - 1)2 + (3 - 5)2]
PQ = √ [(1)2 + (- 2)2]
PQ = √ 5
QR = √ [(-2 - 2)2 + (-11 - 3)2]
QR = √ [(-4)2 + (- 14)2]
QR = 2√ 53
PR = √ [(-2 - 1)2 + (-11 - 5)2]
PR = √ [(-3)2 + (- 16)2]
PR = √ 265
Clearly seen the sum of any two distance pair is not equal to third , so the points are not collinear.
4. Check whether (5, – 2), (6, 4) and (7, – 2) are the vertices of an isosceles triangle.
Solution:
Let the points are P(5, – 2), Q(6, 4) and R(7, – 2).
PQ = √ [(6 - 5)2 + (4 - (-2))2]
PQ = √ [(1)2 + (6)2]
PQ = √ 37 =6.08
QR = √ [(7 - 6)2 + (-2 - 4)2]
QR = √ [(1)2 + (-6)2]
QR = √ 37 =6.08
PR = √ [(7 - 5)2 + (-2 -(-2)2]
PR = √ [(2)2 + (0)2]
PR = √ 4 = 2
Since the sum of any two sides are more than third one , so the points make a triangle. Also 2 sides are of same length , the triangle is an isosceles triangle.
5. In a classroom, 4 friends are
seated at the points A, B, C and
D as shown in Fig. 7.8. Champa
and Chameli walk into the class
and after observing for a few
minutes Champa asks Chameli,
“Don’t you think ABCD is a
square?” Chameli disagrees.
Using distance formula, find
which of them is correct.
AB = √ [(6 - 3)2 + (7 - 4)2]
AB = √ (9 + 9)
AB = 3√2
BC = √ [(9 - 6)2 + (4 - 7)2]
BC = √ (9 + 9)
BC = 3√2
CD = √ [(6 - 9)2 + (1 - 4)2]
CD = √ (9 + 9)
CD = 3√2
DA = √ [(3 - 6)2 + (4 - 1)2]
DA = √ (9 + 9)
DA = 3√2
AC = √ [(9 - 3)2 + (4 - 4)2]
AC = √ (36 + 0)
AC = 6
BD = √ [(6 - 6)2 + (1 - 7)2]
BD = √ (0 + 36)
BD = 6
=> all the sides are equal and also both the diagonals are equal ,
and AB2 + BC2 = AC2
which prove ABC is a right angle , so satisfy all the property of square . So champa is right.
6. Name the type of quadrilateral
formed, if any, by the following
points, and give reasons for
your answer:
(i) (– 1, – 2), (1, 0), (– 1, 2), (– 3, 0)
(ii) (–3, 5), (3, 1), (0, 3), (–1, – 4)
(iii) (4, 5), (7, 6), (4, 3), (1, 2)
Solution:
(i) A(– 1, – 2), B(1, 0), C(– 1, 2), D(– 3, 0)
AB = √ [(1 - (-1))2 + (0 - (-2))2]
AB = √ (4 + 4)
AB = 2√2
BC = √ [(-1 - 1)2 + (2 - 0)2]
BC = √ (4 + 4)
BC = 2√2
CD = √ [(-3 - (-1))2 + (0 - 2)2]
CD = √ (4 + 4)
CD = 2√2
DA = √ [(-1 - (-3))2 + (-2 - 1)2]
DA = √ (4 + 4)
DA = 2√2
AC = √ [(-1 - (-1))2 + (2 - (-2))2]
AC = √ (0 + 16)
AC = 4
BD = √ [(-3 - 1)2 + (0 - 0)2]
BD = √ (16 + 0)
BD = 4
and AB2 + BC2 = 8 + 8 =16 = AC2
so the given points make a square Parellogram.
(ii) A(–3, 5), B(3, 1), C(0, 3), D(–1, – 4)
AB = √ [(3 - (-3))2 + (1 - 5)2]
AB = √ (36 + 16)
AB = √52 = 2√13
BC = √ [(0 - 3)2 + (3 - 1)2]
BC = √ (9 + 4)
BC = √13
CD = √ [(-1 - 0)2 + (-4 - 3)2]
CD = √ (1 + 49)
CD = √50 = 5√2
DA = √ [(-3 - (-1))2 + (5 - (-4))2]
DA = √ (4 + 81)
DA = √85
AC = √ [(0 - (-3))2 + (3 - 5)2]
AC = √ (9 + 4)
AC = √13
BD = √ [(-1 - 3)2 + (-4 - 1)2]
BD = √ (16 + 25)
BD = √41
No sides and also diagonals are equal ,
so the given points do not make a Parellogram..
(iii) A(4, 5), B(7, 6), C(4, 3), D(1, 2)
AB = √ [(7 - 4)2 + (6 - 5)2]
AB = √ (9 + 1)
AB = √10
BC = √ [(4 - 7)2 + (3 - 6)2]
BC = √ (9 + 9)
BC = 3√2
CD = √ [(1 - 4)2 + (2 - 3)2]
CD = √ (9 + 1)
CD = √10
DA = √ [(4 - 1)2 + (5 - 2)2]
DA = √ (9 + 9)
DA = 3√2
AC = √ [(4 - 4)2 + (3 - 5)2]
AC = √ (0 + 4)
AC = 2
BD = √ [(1 - 7)2 + (2 - 6)2]
BD = √ (36 + 16)
BD = √52 = 2√13
opposite sides are equal ,so the given points make a Parellogram..
7. Find the point on the x-axis which is equidistant from (2, –5) and (–2, 9).
Solution :
Let the point P (x, 0) is at equidistance from both the given points.
then, √ [(x - 2)2 + (0 - (-5))2] = √ [(-2 - x)2 + (9 - 0)2]
=> (x - 2)2 + 25 = (-2 - x)2 + 81 --square at both sides
=> x2 - 4x + 4 +25 = 4 + 4x + x2 + 81
=> -4x + 29 = 4x + 85
=> 8x = -56
=> x = -7
so the point is ( -7 , 0 )
8. Find the values of y for which the distance between the points P(2, – 3) and Q(10, y) is
10 units.
Solution :
PQ = 10
=> √ [(10 - 2)2 + (y - (-3))2] = 10
=> [ 82 + (y +3))2] = 100 ----square at both sides
=> 64 + y2 + 6y + 9 = 100
=> y2 + 6y - 27 = 0
=> y2 + 9y - 3y - 27 = 0
=> y( y + 9 ) - 3(y+9) =0
=>(y + 9)(y - 3) =0
So the points are ( 10, -9) and ( 10 , 3) are at equidistance from the point P .
9. If Q(0, 1) is equidistant from P(5, –3) and R(x, 6), find the values of x. Also find the
distances QR and PR.
Solution:
Since Q is at euidistance from the points P and R , therefore,
√ [(5 - 0)2 + (-3 - 12] = √ [(x - 0)2 + (6 - 1)2]
=> ( 25 + 16 ) = ( x2 + 25 ) ---- Square at both sides
=> 41 = x2 + 25
=> x2 = 16
=> x = ± 4
QR = √ [(± 4 - 0)2 + (6 - 1)2]
QR = √(16 + 25)
QR = √41
PR = √ [(± 4 - 5)2 + (6 - (-3))2]
PR = √ [ (4-5)2 + 81 ] = √82 at x = +4
and
PR = √ [ (-4-5)2 + 81 ] = 9√2 at x = -4
10. Find a relation between x and y such that the point (x, y) is equidistant from the point
(3, 6) and (– 3, 4)
Solution:
Since ( x , y) is at equidistance from both te points , therefore
√ [(x - 3)2 + (y - 6)2] = √ [(x + 3)2 + (y - 4)2]
=>(x - 3)2 + (y - 6)2 = (x + 3)2 + (y - 4)2 --square at both sides
=> x2 - 6x + 9 + y2 - 12y + 36= x2 + 6x + 9 + y2 - 8y + 16
=> - 6x + 9 -12y + 36 = 6x - 8y + 9 + 16
=> 12x + 4y = 20
=> 3x + y = 5 ( required relation )
