Question 1.
Show that the given points (1, 1), (5, 4), (-2, 5) are the vertices of an isosceles right angled triangle.
Solution:
Let A (1, 1), B (5, 4) and G (-2, 5)

AB = 5, AC = 5
∴ ABC is an isosceles triangle …….. (1)
BC² = AB² + AC²
50 = 25 + 25 ⇒ 50 = 50
∴ ∠A = 90° ……… (2)
From (1) and (2) we get ABC is an isosceles right angle triangle.

Question 2.
Show that the point (3, -2), (3, 2), (-1, 2) and (-1, -2) taken in order are the vertices of a square.
Solution:

= $$\sqrt{16}$$
= 4
AB = BC = CD = DA = 4. All the four sides are equal.
∴ ABCD is a Rhombus ……..(1)

Diagonal AC = Diagonal BD = $$\sqrt{32}$$ ……..(2)
From (1) and (2) we get ABCD is a square.

Question 3.
Show that the point A (3, 7) B (6, 5) and C (15, -1) are collinear.
Solution:

AB + BC = AC ⇒ $$\sqrt{13}$$ + 3$$\sqrt{13}$$ = 4$$\sqrt{13}$$
∴ The points A, B, C are collinear.

Question 4.
Find the type of triangle formed by (-1, -1), (1, 1) and (-√, √3)
Solution:
Let the point A (-1, -1), B (1, 1) and C (-√3, √3)

AB = BC = AC = √8
∴ ABC is an equilateral triangle.

Question 5.
Find x such that PQ = QR where P(6, -1) Q(1, 3) and R(x, 8) respectively.
Solution:

But PQ = QR
$$\sqrt{(x-1)^{2}+25}$$ = $$\sqrt{41}$$
Squaring on both sides
(x – 1)² + 25 = 41
(x – 1)² = 41 – 25 = 16
x – 1 = $$\sqrt{16}$$ = ± 4
x – 1 = 4 (or) x – 1 = – 4
x = 5 (or) x = -4 + 1 = -3
The value of x = 5 or – 3

Question 6.
Find the coordinate of the point of trisection of the line segment joining (4, -1) and
Solution:
Let A (4, -1) and B (-2, -3) are the given points
Let P (a, b) and Q (c, d) be the points of trisection of AB.
∴ AP = PQ = QB

The required coordinate P is (2, –$$\frac{5}{3}$$) and Q is (0, –$$\frac{7}{3}$$)

Question 7.
Find the ratio in which the line segment joining the points (-3, 10) and (6, -8) is divided by (-1, 6).
Solution:
Given points are A(-3, 10), B(6, -8) and P(-1, 6)
divides AB internally in the ratio m : n
By section formula.
A line divides internally in the ratio m : n the point P =

∴ $$\frac{6m-3n}{m+n}$$ = -1
6m – 3n = -m – n
6m + m = 3n – n
7m = 2n ⇒ $$\frac{m}{n}$$ = $$\frac{2}{7}$$
∴ m : n = 2 : 7
and
$$\frac{-8m+10n}{m+n}$$ = 6
-8m + 10n = 6m + 6n
-8m – 6m = 6n – 10n
14m = 4n
∴ $$\frac{m}{n}$$ = $$\frac{14}{4}$$ = $$\frac{2}{7}$$
Hence P divides AB internally in the ratio 2 : 7

Question 8.
If (1, 2) (4, y), (x, 6) and (3, 5) are the vertices of a parallelogram taken in order, find “x” and “y”.
Solution:
Let A(1, 2), B(4, y), C(x, 6) and D(3, 5)

Since ABCD is a parallelogram the diagonal bisect each other
Mid point of AC = Mid point of BD
($$\frac{1+x}{2}$$, 4) = ($$\frac{7}{2}$$, $$\frac{y+5}{2}$$)
$$\frac{1+x}{2}$$ = $$\frac{7}{2}$$
1 + x = 7
x = 7 – 1
= 6
and
$$\frac{y+5}{2}$$ = 4
y + 5 = 8
y = 8 – 5
= 3
∴ The value of x = 6 and y = 3
