PSEB 10th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 7 Coordinate Geometry Ex 7.1

Question 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:

Question 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:

Question 5.
In a classroom, 4 friends are seated at the points A, B, C and D as shown in fig. Champa and Charnel 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, and why?

Solution:
In the given diagram, the vertices of given points are : A (3, 4); B (6, 7); C (9, 4) and D (6, 1).
Now,

Question 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:

From above discussion, it is clear that
AB = BC = CD = DA = √8 and AC = BD = 4.
Hence, given quadrilateral ABCD is a square.

From above discussion, it is clear that AB = CD and BC = DA. and AC ≠ BD.
i.e., opposite sides are equal but their diagonals are not equal.
Hence, given quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram.

Question 7.
Find the points on the x-axis which is equidistant from (2, – 5) and (- 2, 9).
Solution:
Let required point be P (x, 0) and given points be A (2, – 5) and B (- 2, 9).
According to question,
PA = PB
(PA)² = (PB)²
or (2 – x)² + (- 5- 0)² = (- 2 – x)² + (9 – 0)²
or 4 + x² – 4x + 25 = 4 + x²+ 4x + 81
-8x = 56
x = 4/4 = – 7
Hence, required point be (- 7, 0).
