Coordinate Geometry Class 10 Chapter 7 Exercise: 7.1

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}

Q2 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?

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 given towns 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) be representing 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 triangle 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.

Q5 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.

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 lengths and diagonals are also having the same length.

Therefore, quadrilateral ABCD is a square and Champa is saying right.

Q6 (i) Name the type of quadrilateral formed, if any, by the following points, and give reasons for your answer: (– 1, – 2), (1, 0), (– 1, 2), (– 3, 0)

Answer:

Let the given points (-1,-2),\ (1,0),\ (-1,2),\ and\ (-3,0) be representing 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) be representing 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 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) be representing 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 length.

Hence we have,

\sqrt{(x-2)^2+(0+5)^2} = \sqrt{(x+2)^2+(0+9)^2}

Solving this to get the required coordinates.

Squaring both sides we get,

(x-2)^2+25 = (x+2)^2+81

\Rightarrow (x-2+x+2)(x-2-x-2)= 81 - 25 = 56

\Rightarrow (-8x)= 56

Or, \Rightarrow 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 -9 .

Q9 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.

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

\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}

Q10 Find a relation between x and y such that the point (x, y) is equidistant from the point (3, 6) and (– 3, 4).

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.
