Class 10 Maths Chapter 7 Solutions Exercise: 7.1 Page number: 105-106 Total questions: 10 |
Q1 (i): Find the distance between the following pairs of points : (2, 3), (4, 1)
Answer:
Given points: (2, 3), (4, 1)
Distance between the points will be: $(x_{1},y_{1})$ and $(x_{2},y_{2})$
$D = \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2}$
$⇒D= \sqrt{(4-2)^2+(1-3)^2} = \sqrt{4+4} = 2\sqrt{2}$
Q1 (ii): Find the distance between the following pairs of points : (– 5, 7), (– 1, 3)
Answer:
Given points: (– 5, 7), (– 1, 3)
Distance between the points will be: $(x_{1},y_{1})$ and $(x_{2},y_{2})$
$D = \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2}$
$⇒D= \sqrt{(-1+5)^2+(3-7)^2} = \sqrt{16+16} = 4\sqrt{2}$
Q1 (iii): Find the distance between the following pairs of points :(a, b), (– a, – b)
Answer:
Given points: (a, b), (– a, – b)
Distance between the points will be: $(x_{1},y_{1})$ and $(x_{2},y_{2})$
$D = \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2}$
$⇒D= \sqrt{(-a-a)^2+(-b-b)^2} = \sqrt{4(a^2+b^2)} = 2\sqrt{a^2+b^2}$
Answer:
Given points: (0, 0) and (36, 15)
Distance between the points will be: $(x_{1},y_{1})$ and $(x_{2},y_{2})$
$D = \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2}$
$⇒D= \sqrt{(36-0)^2+(15-0)^2} =\sqrt{1296+225} = \sqrt{1521} = 39$
The distance between the two towns A and B is, thus, 39 km for the given town location
$(0,0)$ and $(36,15)$.
Q3: Determine if the points (1, 5), (2, 3), and (– 2, – 11) are collinear.
Answer:
Let the points (1, 5), (2, 3), and (– 2, – 11) represent the vertices A, B, and C of the given triangle, respectively.
$A = (1,5),\ B = (2,3),\ C = (-2,-11)$
Therefore,
$AB = \sqrt{(1-2)^2+(5-3)^2} = \sqrt{5}$
$BC = \sqrt{(2-(-2))^2+(3-(-11))^2} = \sqrt{4^2+14^2} = \sqrt{16+196} = \sqrt{212}$ $CA = \sqrt{(1-(-2))^2+(5-(-11))^2} = \sqrt{3^2+16^2} = \sqrt{9+256} = \sqrt{265}$ Since these are not satisfied.
$AB+BC \neq CA$
$BA+AC \neq BC$
$BC+CA \neq BA$
As these cases are not satisfied.
Hence, the points are not collinear.
Q4: Check whether (5, – 2), (6, 4) and (7, – 2) are the vertices of an isosceles triangle.
Answer:
The distance between two points $A(x_{1},y_{1})$ and $B(x_{2},y_{2})$ is given by:
$D = \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2}$
So, we have the following points: (5, – 2), (6, 4) and (7, – 2) assuming it to be the vertices of triangles A, B, and C, respectively.
$AB = \sqrt{(5-6)^2+(-2-4)^2} = \sqrt{1+36} = \sqrt{37}$
$BC = \sqrt{(6-7)^2+(4+2)^2} = \sqrt{1+36} = \sqrt{37}$
$CA = \sqrt{(5-7)^2+(-2+2)^2} = \sqrt{4+0} = 2$
Therefore, AB = BC
Here two sides are equal in length.
Therefore, ABC is an isosceles triangle.
Answer:
The coordinates of the points:
$A(3,4),\ B(6,7),\ C(9,4),$ and $D(6,1)$ are the positions of 4 friends.
The distance between two points $A(x_{1},y_{1}),$ and $B(x_{2},y_{2})$ is given by:
$D = \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2}$
Hence,
$AB = \sqrt{(3-6)^2+(4-7)^2} = \sqrt{9+9} = \sqrt{18} = 3\sqrt2$
$BC = \sqrt{(6-9)^2+(7-4)^2} = \sqrt{9+9} = \sqrt{18} = 3\sqrt2$
$CD = \sqrt{(9-6)^2+(4-1)^2} = \sqrt{9+9} = \sqrt{18} = 3\sqrt2$
$AD= \sqrt{(3-6)^2+(4-1)^2} = \sqrt{9+9} = \sqrt{18} = 3\sqrt2$
And the lengths of diagonals:
$AC = \sqrt{(3-9)^2+(4-4)^2} =\sqrt{36+0} = 6$
$BD = \sqrt{(6-6)^2+(7-1)^2} =\sqrt{36+0} = 6$
So, here it can be seen that all sides of quadrilateral ABCD are of the same length and diagonals are also having the same length.
Therefore, quadrilateral ABCD is a square, and Champa is saying right.
Answer:
Let the given points $(-1,-2),\ (1,0),\ (-1,2),$ and $(-3,0)$ represent the vertices A, B, C, and D of the given quadrilateral, respectively.
The distance formula:
$D = \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2}$
$AB= \sqrt{(-1-1)^2+(-2-0)^2} =\sqrt{4+4} = \sqrt{8} = 2\sqrt2$
$BC= \sqrt{(1+1)^2+(0-2)^2} =\sqrt{4+4} = \sqrt{8} = 2\sqrt2$
$CD= \sqrt{(-1+3)^2+(2-0)^2} =\sqrt{4+4} = \sqrt{8} = 2\sqrt2$
$AD= \sqrt{(-1+3)^2+(-2-0)^2} =\sqrt{4+4} = \sqrt{8} = 2\sqrt2$
Finding the length of the diagonals:
$AC= \sqrt{(-1+1)^2+(-2-2)^2} =\sqrt{0+16} = 4$
$BD= \sqrt{(1+3)^2+(0-0)^2} =\sqrt{16+0} = 4$
It is clear that all sides are of the same lengths, and also, the diagonals have the same lengths.
Hence, the given quadrilateral is a square.
Q6 (ii): Name the type of quadrilateral formed, if any, by the following points, and give reasons for your answer: (–3, 5), (3, 1), (0, 3), (–1, – 4)
Answer:
Let the given points $(-3,5),\ (3,1),\ (0,3),$ and $(-1,-4)$ represent the vertices A, B, C, and D of the given quadrilateral, respectively.
The distance formula:
$D = \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2}$
$AB= \sqrt{(-3-3)^2+(5-1)^2} =\sqrt{36+16} = \sqrt{52} = 2\sqrt{13}$
$BC= \sqrt{(3-0)^2+(1-3)^2} =\sqrt{9+4} = \sqrt{13}$
$CD= \sqrt{(0+1)^2+(3+4)^2} =\sqrt{1+49} = \sqrt{50} = 5\sqrt2$
$AD= \sqrt{(-3+1)^2+(5+4)^2} =\sqrt{4+81} = \sqrt{85}$
All the sides of the given quadrilateral have different lengths.
Therefore, it is only a general quadrilateral and not a specific one like a square, rectangle, etc.
Q6 (iii): Name the type of quadrilateral formed, if any, by the following points, and give reasons for your answer: (4, 5), (7, 6), (4, 3), (1, 2)
Answer:
Let the given points $(4,5),\ (7,6),\ (4,3),\ (1,2)$ represent the vertices A, B, C, and D of the given quadrilateral, respectively.
The distance formula:
$D = \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2}$
$AB= \sqrt{(4-7)^2+(5-6)^2} =\sqrt{9+1} = \sqrt{10}$
$BC= \sqrt{(7-4)^2+(6-3)^2} =\sqrt{9+9} = \sqrt{18}$
$CD= \sqrt{(4-1)^2+(3-2)^2} =\sqrt{9+1} = \sqrt{10}$
$AD= \sqrt{(4-1)^2+(5-2)^2} =\sqrt{9+9} = \sqrt{18}$
And the diagonals:
$AC =\sqrt{(4-4)^2+(5-3)^2} = \sqrt{0+4} = 2$
$BD =\sqrt{(7-1)^2+(6-2)^2} = \sqrt{36+16} = \sqrt{52} = 2\sqrt{13}$
Here, we can observe that the opposite sides of this quadrilateral are of the same length.
However, the diagonals are of different lengths.
Therefore, the given points are the vertices of a parallelogram.
Q7: Find the point on the x-axis which is equidistant from (2, –5) and (–2, 9).
Answer:
Let the point which is equidistant from $A(2,-5)\ and \ B(-2,9)$ be $X(x,0)$ as it lies on X-axis.
Then, we have,
Distance AX $= \sqrt{(x-2)^2+(0+5)^2}$
and Distance BX $= \sqrt{(x+2)^2+(0+9)^2}$
According to the question, these distances are equal in length.
Hence, we have,
$\sqrt{(x-2)^2+(0+5)^2}$ $= \sqrt{(x+2)^2+(0+9)^2}$
Squaring both sides, we get,
$(x-2)^2+25 = (x+2)^2+81$
$⇒x^2-4x+4+25=x^2+4x+4+81$
$⇒4x+4x=-81+25$
$⇒8x=-56$
$\therefore x=-7$
Hence, the point is $X(-7,0)$.
Q8: Find the values of y for which the distance between the points P(2, – 3) and Q(10, y) is 10 units.
Answer:
Given the distance between the points $P(2,-3)$ and $Q(10,y)$ is 10 units.
The distance formula :
$D = \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2}$
So, given $PQ = 10$ units
$PQ= \sqrt{(10-2)^2+(y-(-3))^2} = 10$
After squaring both sides,
$\Rightarrow (10-2)^2+(y-(-3))^2 = 100$
$\Rightarrow (y+3)^2 = 100 - 64$
$\Rightarrow y+3 = \pm 6$
$\Rightarrow y = 6 - 3$ or $y = -6-3$
Therefore, the values are $y = 3$ or $y=-9$.
Answer:
Given $Q(0,1)$ is equidistant from $P(5,-3)$ and $R(x,6)$ .
Then, the distances $PQ = RQ$.
Distance $PQ = \sqrt{(5-0)^2+(-3-1)^2} = \sqrt{25+16} = \sqrt{41}$
Distance $RQ = \sqrt{(x-0)^2+(6-1)^2} = \sqrt{x^2+25}$
$\Rightarrow \sqrt{x^2+25} = \sqrt{41}$
Squaring both sides, we get,
$⇒x^2+25=41$
$\Rightarrow x^2 = 16$
$\Rightarrow x = \pm 4$
The points are: $R(4,6)\ or\ R(-4,6.)$
CASE I: when R is $(4,6)$
The distances QR and PR.
$QR = \sqrt{(0-4)^2+(1-6)^2} = \sqrt{16+25} = \sqrt{41}$
$PR = \sqrt{(5-4)^2+(-3-6)^2} = \sqrt{1^2+(-9)^2} = \sqrt{1+81} = \sqrt{82}$
CASE II: when R is $(-4,6)$
The distances QR and PR.
$QR = \sqrt{(0-(-4))^2+(1-6)^2} = \sqrt{16+25} = \sqrt{41}$
$PR = \sqrt{(5-(-4))^2+(-3-6)^2} = \sqrt{9^2+(-9)^2} = \sqrt{81+81} = 9\sqrt{2}$
Answer:
Let the point $P(x,y )$ is equidistant from $A(3,6)$ and $B(-3,4)$ .
Then, the distances $AP =BP$
$AP = \sqrt{(x-3)^2+(y-6)^2}$ and $BP = \sqrt{(x-(-3))^2+(y-4)^2}$
$\Rightarrow \sqrt{(x-3)^2+(y-6)^2} = \sqrt{(x-(-3))^2+(y-4)^2}$
Squaring both sides, we obtain
$\Rightarrow (x-3)^2+(y-6)^2= (x+3)^2+(y-4)^2$
$\Rightarrow (2x)(-6)+(2y-10)(-2)= 0$ $\left [\because a^2-b^2 = (a+b)(a-b) \right ]$
$\Rightarrow -12x-4y+20 = 0$
$\Rightarrow 3x+y-5 = 0$
Thus, the relation is $3x+y-5 = 0$ between x and y.

Q1: Find the coordinates of the point which divides the join of (–1, 7) and (4, –3) in the ratio 2 : 3.
Answer:
Let the coordinates of point $P(x,y)$ which divides the line segment joining the points $A(-1,7)$ and $B(4,-3)$ , internally, in the ratio $m_{1}:m_{2}$ then,
Section formula: $\left (\frac{m_{1}x_{2}+m_{2}x_{1}}{m_{1}+m_{2}} , \frac{m_{1}y_{2}+m_{2}y_{1}}{m_{1}+m_{2}} \right )$
Substituting the values in the formula:
Here, $m_{1}:m_{2} = 2:3$
$\Rightarrow \left (\frac{2(4)+3(-1)}{2+3} , \frac{2(-3)+3(7)}{2+3} \right )$
$\Rightarrow \left (\frac{5}{5} , \frac{15}{5} \right )$
$⇒(1,3)$
Hence, the coordinate is $P \left (1, 3 \right )$.
Q2: Find the coordinates of the points of trisection of the line segment joining (4, –1) and (–2, –3).
Answer:
Let the trisection of the line segment $A(4,-1)$ and $B(-2,-3)$ have the points $P(x_{1},y_{1})$ and $Q(x_{2},y_{2})$
Then,
Section formula: $\left (\frac{m_{1}x_{2}+m_{2}x_{1}}{m_{1}+m_{2}} , \frac{m_{1}y_{2}+m_{2}y_{1}}{m_{1}+m_{2}} \right )$
By observation point, P divides AB internally in the ratio $1:2$.
Hence, $m:n = 1:2$
Substituting the values in the equation, we get;
$\Rightarrow P\left (\frac{1(-2)+2(4)}{1+2} , \frac{1(-3)+2(-1)}{1+2} \right )$
$\Rightarrow P \left (\frac{-2+8}{3} , \frac{-3-2}{3} \right )$
$\Rightarrow P \left (2 , \frac{-5}{3} \right )$
And by observation point Q, divides AB internally in the ratio $2:1$
Hence, $m:n = 2:1$
Substituting the values in the equation above, we get
$\Rightarrow Q\left (\frac{2(-2)+1(4)}{2+1} , \frac{2(-3)+1(-1)}{2+1} \right )$
$\Rightarrow Q \left (\frac{-4+4}{3} , \frac{-6-1}{3} \right )$
$\Rightarrow Q\left (0 , \frac{-7}{3} \right )$
Hence, the points of trisections are $P \left (2 , \frac{-5}{3} \right )$ and $Q\left (0 , \frac{-7}{3} \right )$
Answer:
Niharika posted the green flag at the distance P, i.e.,
$\frac{1}{4}\times100\ m = 25\ m$ from the starting point of $2^{nd}$ line.
Therefore, the coordinates of this point $P$ are $(2,25).$
Similarly, Preet posted red flag at $\frac{1}{5}$ of the distance Q i.e.,
$\frac{1}{5}\times100\ m = 20\ m$ from the starting point of $8^{th}$ line.
Therefore, the coordinates of this point Q are $(8,20)$.
The distance $PQ$ is given by,
$PQ = \sqrt{(8-2)^2+(25-20)^2} = \sqrt{36+25} = \sqrt{61} m$
and the point at which Rashmi should post her Blue Flag is the mid-point of the line joining these points. Let this point be $R(x,y)$.
Then, by Section Formula,
$P(x,y)= \left (\frac{m_{1}x_{2}+m_{2}x_{1}}{m_{1}+m_{2}} , \frac{m_{1}y_{2}+m_{2}y_{1}}{m_{1}+m_{2}} \right )$
$⇒x = \frac{2+8}{2},\ y = \frac{25+20}{2}$
$⇒x = 5,\ y = 22.5$
Therefore, Rashmi should post her Blue Flag at 22.5 m on the 5th line.
Answer:
Let the ratio be $k:1$
Then, by section formula:
$P(x,y) = \left (\frac{kx_{2}+x_{1}}{k+1} , \frac{ky_{2}+y_{1}}{k+1} \right )$
Given point $P(x,y) = (-1,6)$
$-1 = \frac{6k-3}{k+1}$
$\Rightarrow -k-1 = 6k-3$
$\Rightarrow k = \frac{2}{7}$
Hence, the point $P$ divides the line AB in the ratio $2:7$.
Answer:
Let the point on the x-axis be $P(x,0)$, and it divides it in the ratio $k:1$.
Then, we have
Section formula:
$P(x,y) = \left (\frac{kx_{2}+x_{1}}{k+1} , \frac{ky_{2}+y_{1}}{k+1} \right )$
$⇒ \frac{ky_{2}+y_{1}}{k+1} = 0$
$⇒k =-\frac{y_{1}}{y_{2}}$
Hence, the value of k will be: $k =-\frac{-5}{5}= 1$
Therefore, the x-axis divides the line in the ratio $1:1$, and the point will be,
Putting the value of $k=1$ in the section formula.
$P(x,0) = \left ( \frac{x_{2}+x_{1}}{2}, 0 \right )$
$P(x,0) = \left ( \frac{1-4}{2}, 0 \right ) = \left ( \frac{-3}{2}, 0 \right )$
Answer:
Let the given points $A(1,2),\ B(4,y),\ C(x,6),\ D(3,5)$
Since the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. Intersection point O of diagonals AC and BD also divides these diagonals.
Therefore, O is the midpoint of AC and BD.
The coordinates of the point O when it is the mid-point of AC.
$\left ( \frac{1+x}{2}, \frac{2+6}{2} \right ) \Rightarrow \left ( \frac{x+1}{2}, 4 \right )$
The coordinates of the point O when it is the mid-point of BD.
$\left ( \frac{4+3}{2}, \frac{5+y}{2} \right ) \Rightarrow \left ( \frac{7}{2}, \frac{5+y}{2} \right )$
Since both coordinates are of the same point O.
Therefore,
$\frac{x+1}{2} =\frac{7}{2}$ and $4 = \frac{5+y}{2}$
Or,
$x = 6\ and\ y = 3$
Answer:
As the centre point $C(2,-3)$ will be the midpoint of the diameter AB.
Then, the coordinates of point A will be $A(x,y)$.
Given point $B(1,4)$ .
Therefore,
$(2,-3) = \left ( \frac{x+1}{2}, \frac{y+4}{2} \right )$
$\frac{x+1}{2} = 2\ and\ \frac{y+4}{2} = -3$
$\Rightarrow x = 3\ and\ y = -10$ .
Therefore, the coordinates of A are $(3,-10).$
Answer:
From the figure:
As $AP = \frac{3}{7}AB$
$\Rightarrow PB = \frac{4}{7}AB$ hence the ratio is 3:4,
Now, from the section formula, we can find the coordinates of Point P.
Section Formula:
$P(x,y)= \left (\frac{m_{1}x_{2}+m_{2}x_{1}}{m_{1}+m_{2}} , \frac{m_{1}y_{2}+m_{2}y_{1}}{m_{1}+m_{2}} \right )$
$⇒P(x,y)= \left (\frac{3(2)+4(-2)}{3+4} , \frac{3(-4)+4(-2)}{3+4} \right )$
$⇒P(x,y)= \left (\frac{6-8}{7} , \frac{-12-8}{7} \right )$
$⇒P(x,y)= \left (\frac{-2}{7} , \frac{-20}{7} \right )$
Answer:
From the figure:
Points C, D, and E divide the line segment AB into four equal parts.
Now, from the section formula, we can find the coordinates of Points C, D, and E.
Section Formula:
$P(x,y)= \left (\frac{m_{1}x_{2}+m_{2}x_{1}}{m_{1}+m_{2}} , \frac{m_{1}y_{2}+m_{2}y_{1}}{m_{1}+m_{2}} \right )$
Here, point D divides the line segment AB into two equal parts; hence
$D(x_{2},y_{2})= \left (\frac{-2+2}{2} , \frac{2+8}{2} \right )$
$⇒D(x_{2},y_{2})= \left (0 , 5 \right )$
Now, point C divides the line segment AD into two equal parts hence
$C(x_{1},y_{1})= \left (\frac{-2+0}{2} , \frac{2+5}{2} \right )$
$⇒C(x_{2},y_{2})= \left (-1 , \frac{7}{2} \right )$
Also, point E divides the line segment DB into two equal parts hence
$E(x_{1},y_{1})= \left (\frac{2+0}{2} , \frac{8+5}{2} \right )$
$⇒E(x_{2},y_{2})= \left (1 , \frac{13}{2} \right )$
Answer:
From the figure:
Let the vertices of the rhombus be:
$A(3,0),\ B(4,5),\ C(-1,4),\ D(-2,-1)$
Area of the rhombus ABCD is given by:
$= \frac{1}{2}\times$ Product of length of diagonals
Hence, we have to find the lengths of the diagonals AC and BD of the rhombus.
The distance formula:
$D = \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2}$
Length of the diagonal AC:
$AC = \sqrt{(3-(-1))^2+(0-4)^2} = \sqrt{16+16} = 4\sqrt{2}$
Length of the diagonal BD:
$BD = \sqrt{(4-(-2))^2+(5-(-1))^2} = \sqrt{36+36} = 6\sqrt{2}$
Thus, the area will be,
$= \frac{1}{2}\times (AC)\times(BD)$
$= \frac{1}{2}\times (4\sqrt{2})\times(6\sqrt{2}) = 24$ square units

Question:
Find the coordinates of the points where the graph $57x – 19y = 399$ cuts the coordinate axes.
Answer:
$57x-19y=399$
⇒ $\frac{57x}{399}-\frac{19y}{399} = 1$
⇒ $\frac{x}{7}-\frac{y}{21} = 1$ -------------(i)
Comparing it with the equation of a line:
$\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b} = 1$
x-intercept = $a$ = 7
y-intercept = $b$ = –21
The line, $57x-19y=399$, cuts the x-axis at (7, 0) and the y-axis at (0, –21)
Hence, the correct answer is 'x-axis at (7, 0) and y-axis at (0, –21)'.

For a line defined by two points A$(x_1,y_1)$ and B$(x_2,y_2)$, the distance between these points can be calculated using the formula:
Distance AB = $\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$
When a point P divides a line AB, with A(x1, y1) and B(x2, y2) as endpoints, in a ratio of m:n, the coordinates of point P can be found using the formula:
Point P = $\{\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n},\frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n} \}$
The midpoint of a line AB, defined by A(x1, y1) and B(x2, y2), can be determined using the following formula:

Area of a triangle $=\frac{1}{2}\left|x_1\left(y_2-y_3\right)+x_2\left(y_3-y_1\right)+x_3\left(y_1-y_2\right)\right|$
