Tamilnadu Samacheer Kalvi 9th Maths Solutions Chapter 5 Coordinate Geometry Ex 5.3
Question 1.
Find the mid-points of the line segment joining the points.
(i) (-2, 3) and (-6, -5)
(ii) (8, -2) and (-8, 0)
(iii) (a, b) and (a + 2b, 2a – b)
(iv) (\(\frac{1}{2},\frac{-3}{7}\)) and (\(\frac{3}{2},\frac{-11}{7}\))
Solution:
Question 2.
The centre of a circle is (-4, 2). If one end of the diameter of the circle is (-3, 7) then find the other end.
Solution:
Let the other end of the diameter B be (a, b)
∴ \(\frac{-3+a}{2}\) = -4
-3 + a = -8
a = -8 + 3
a = -5
\(\frac{7+b}{2}\)
7 + b = 4
b = 4 – 7 ⇒ b = -3
The other end of the diameter is (-5, -3).
Question 3.
If the mid-point (x, y) of the line joining (3, 4) and (p, 7) lies on 2x + 2y + 1 = 0, then what will be the value of p?
Solution:
3 + p + 11 + 1 = 0 ⇒ p + 15 = 0 ⇒ p = -15
The value of p is -15.
Question 4.
The mid-point of the sides of a triangle are (2, 4), (-2, 3) and (5, 2). Find the coordinates of the vertices of the triangle.
Solution:
Let the vertices of the ΔABC be A (x1 y1), B (x2, y2) and C (x3, y3)
\(\frac{x_{2}+x_{3}}{2}\) = -2 ⇒ x2 + x3 = -4 → (3)
\(\frac{y_{2}+y_{3}}{2}\) = 3 ⇒ y2 + y3 = 6 → (4)
\(\frac{x_{1}+x_{3}}{2}\) = 5 ⇒ x1 + x3 = 10 → (5)
\(\frac{y_{1}+y_{3}}{2}\) = 2 ⇒ y1 + y3 = 4 → (6)
By adding (1) + (3) + (5) we get
2x1 + 2x2 + 2x3 = 4 – 4 + 10
2(x1 + x2 + x3) = 10 ⇒ x1 + x2 + x3 = 5
From (1) x1 + x2 = 4 ⇒ 4 + x3 = 5
x3 = 5 – 4 = 1
∴ The vertices of the ΔABC are
A (9, 3)
B (-5, 5), C (1, 1)
From (3) x2 + x3 = -4 ⇒ x1 + (-4) = 5
x1 = 5 + 4 = 9
From (5) ⇒ x1 + x3 = 8
x2 + 10 = 5
x2 = 5 – 10 = -5
∴ x1 = 9, x2 = -5, x3 = 1
By adding (2) + (4) + (6) we get
2y3 + 2y2 + 2y3 = 8 + 6 + 4
2(y1 +y2 + y3) = 18 ⇒ y1 + y2 + y3 = 9
From (2) ⇒ y1 + y2 = 8
8 + y3 = 9 ⇒ y3 = 9 – 8 = 1
From (4)
y2 + y3 = 6 ⇒ y1 + 6 = 9
y1 = 9 – 6 = 3
From (6)
y1 + y3 = 4 ⇒ y2 + 4 = 9
y2 = 9 – 4 = 5
∴ y1 = 3, y2 = 5, y3 = 1
Question 5.
O (0, 0) is the centre of a circle whose one chord is AB, where the points A and B (8, 6) and (10, 0) respectively. OD is the perpendicular from the centre to the chord AB. Find the coordinates of the mid-point of OD.
Solution:
Note: Since OD is perpendicular to AB, OD bisect the chord
D is the mid-point of AB
Question 6.
The points A(-5, 4) , B(-1, -2) and C(5, 2) are the vertices of an isosceles right-angled triangle where the right angle is at B. Find the coordinates of D so that ABCD is a square.
Solution:
Since ABCD is a square
Mid-point of AC = mid-point of BD
Let the point D be (a, b)
But mid-point of BD = Mid-point of AC
(\(\frac{-1+a}{2}, \frac{-2+b}{2}\)) = (0, 3)
\(\frac{-1+a}{2}\) = 0
-1 + a = 0
a = 1
(\(\frac{-2+b}{2}\))
-2 + b = 6
b = 6 + 2 = 8
∴ The vertices D is (1, 8).
Question 7.
The points A (-3, 6), B (0, 7) and C (1, 9) are the mid points of the sides DE, EF and FD of a triangle DEF. Show that the quadrilateral ABCD is a parallellogram.
Solution:
Let D be (x1 y1), E (x2, y2) and F (x3, y3)
x1 + x2 = -6 → (1)
y1 + y2 = 12 → (2)
x1 + x3 = 2 → (5)
y1 + y3 = 18 → (6)
Add (1) + (3) + (5)
2x1 + 2x2 + 2x3 = -6 + 0 + 2
2 (x1 + x2 + x3) = -4
x1 + x2 + x3 = -2
From (1) x1 + x2 = -6
x3 = -2 + 6 = 4
From (3) x2 + x3 = 0
x1 = -2 + 0
x1 = -2
From (5) x1 + x3 = 2
x2 + 2 = -2
x2 = -2 -2 = -4
∴ x1 = -2, x2 = -4, x3= 4
Add (2) + (4) + 6
2y1 + 2y2 + 2y3 = 12 + 14 + 18
2(y1 + y2 + y3) = 44
y1 + y2+ y3 = 44/2 = 22
From (2) y1 + y2 = 12
12 + y3 = 22 ⇒ y3 = 22 – 12 = 11
From (4) y2 + y3 = 14
y1 + 14 = 22 ⇒ y1 = 22 – 14
y1 = 8
From (6)
y1 +y3 = 18
y2 + 18 = 22 ⇒ = 22 – 18
= 4
∴ y1 = 8, y2 = 4, y3 = 11
The vertices D is (-2, 8)
Mid-point of diagonal AC = Mid-point of diagonal BD
The quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram
Question 8.
A(-3, 2) , B(3, 2) and C(-3, -2) are the vertices of the right triangle, right angled at A. Show that the mid point of the hypotenuse is equidistant from the vertices.
Solution:
AD = CD = BD = \(\sqrt{13}\)
Mid-point of BC is equidistance from the centre.
