## Tamilnadu Samacheer Kalvi 9th Maths Solutions Chapter 5 Coordinate Geometry Ex 5.5

Question 1.
Find the centroid of the triangle whose vertices are
(i) (2, -4), (-3, -7) and (7, 2)
Solution:
Let the vertices of a triangle be A (2, -4), B (-3, -7) and C (7, 2) Centroid

Centroid is (2, -3)

(ii) (-5, -5), (1, -4) and (-4, -2)
Solution:
Let the vertices of a triangle be A (-5, -5), B (1, -4) and C (-4, -2)

Question 2.
If the centroid of a triangle is at (4, -2) and two of its vertices are (3, -2) and (5, 2) then find the third vertex of the triangle.
Solution:
Let the vertices of a triangle be A (3, -2), B (5, 2) and C (x3, y3)
Centroid of a triangle is (4, -2)

∴ $$\frac{8+x_{3}}{3}$$ = 4
8 + x3 = 12
x3 = 12 – 8
= 4
and
$$\frac{y_{3}}{3}$$ = -2
y3 = -6
∴ The third vertex is (4, -6)

Question 3.
Find the length of median through A of a triangle whose vertices are A(-1, 3), B (1, -1) and C (5, 1).
Solution:
AD is the median of the ΔABC
D is the mid-point of BC

Length of the median AD is 5 units.

Question 4.
The vertices of a triangle are (1, 2), (h, -3) and (-4, k). If the centroid of the triangle is at the point (5, -1) then find the value of $$\sqrt{(h+k)^{2}+(h+3k)^{2}}$$
Solution:
Let the vertices A (1, 2), B (h, -3) and C (-4, k)

$$\frac{-3+h}{3}$$ = 5
-3 + h = 15
h = 15 + 3 = 18
and
$$\frac{-1+k}{3}$$ = -1
-1 + k = -3
k = -3 + 1
k = -2

Question 5.
Orthocentre and centroid of a triangle are A(-3, 5) and B(3, 3) respectively. If C is the circumcentre and AC is the diameter of this circle, then find the radius of the circle.
Solution:
Let PQR be any triangle orthocentre, centroid and circumcentre.

A orthocentre is (-3, 5)
B centroid is (3, 3)
C orthocentre is (a, 6)
Also $$\frac{AB}{BC}$$ = $$\frac{2}{1}$$
B divides AC in the ratio 2 : 1
A line divides internally in the ratio point P is ($$\frac{mx_{2}+nx_{1}}{m+n}$$, $$\frac{my_{2}+ny_{1}}{m+n}$$)
m = 2
x1 = 3
y1 = 5
amd
n = 1
x2 = a
y2 = b
∴ The point B ($$\frac{2a-3}{2+1}$$, $$\frac{2b+5}{2+1}$$)
(3, 3) = ($$\frac{2a-3}{3}$$, $$\frac{2b+5}{3}$$)
$$\frac{2a-3}{3}$$ = 3
2a – 3 = 9
2a = 9 + 3
2a = 12
a = $$\frac{12}{2}$$ = 6
and
$$\frac{2b+5}{3}$$
2b + 5 = 9
2b = 9 – 5
2b = 4
b = $$\frac{4}{2}$$ = 2
∴ Orthocentre C is (6, 2)

Question 6.
ABC is a triangle whose vertices are A (3, 4), B (-2, -1) and C (5, 3). If G is the centroid and BDCG is a parallelogram then find the coordinates of the vertex D.
Solution:
The vertices of a triangle are A (3, 4), B (-2, -1) and C (5, 3)

The point G is (2, 2)
Let the vertices D be (a, b)
Since BDCG is a parallelogram
Mid-point of BC = Mid-point of DG

$$\frac{2+a}{2}$$ = $$\frac{3}{2}$$
4 + 2a = 6
2a = 6 – 4
2a = 2
a = 1
and
$$\frac{2+b}{2}$$ = 1
2 + b = 2
b = 2 – 2 = 0
The vertices D is (1, 0).

Question 7.

Solution:
In ΔABC, Let A (x1, y1), B (x2, y1) and C (x3, y3)

x1 + x2 = 3 → (1)
y1 + y2 = 10 → (2)

x2 + x3 = 14 → (3)
y2 + y3 = 10 → (4)

x1 + x3 = 3 → (5)
y1 + y3 = 10 → (6)
Add (1) + (3) + (5) We get
2x1 + 2x2 + 2x3 = 30
2(x1 + x2 + x3) = 30
x1 + x2 + x3 = 15
From (1), x1 + x2 = 3
∴ x3 = 12
From (3), x2 + x3 = 14
∴ x1 = 1
From (5), x1 + x3 = 13
∴ x2 = 2
Add (2), (4) and (6) we get
2y1 + 2y2 + 2y3 = -12
2(y1 + y2 + y3) = – 12
∴ y1 + y2 + y3 = -6
From (2), y1 + y2 = 10
∴ y3 = -16
From (4) y2 + y3 = -9
∴ y1 = 3
From (6) y1 + y3 = -13
∴ y2 = 7
The vertices of the A are A (1, 3), B (2, 7) and C (12, -16)

The Centroid of Δ is (5, -2)
