Questions Pg-215
Question 1.

What are the coordinates of the fourth vertex of the parallelogram shown on the right?



Answer:

Let the coordinate of fourth vertex be (x1, y1) and the point of intersection of diagonals be (x2, y2)


Diagonals of a parallelogram bisects each other


According to the section formula for mid points



⇒ x2 = 3.5


y2


⇒ y2 = 4.5


The point of intersection is (3.5, 4.5)


Again using the section formula for mid points



⇒ 1 + x1 = 7


⇒ x1 = 6



⇒ 1 + y1 = 9


⇒ y1 = 8


The fourth vertex of parallelogram is (6, 8)



Question 2.

In this picture, the mid points of the sides of the large triangle are joined to make a small triangle inside.



Calculate the coordinates of the vertices of the large triangle.


Answer:

Let the three coordinates of the larger triangle be (x1, y1), (x2, y2) and (x3, y3)


The three mid points on the three sides are (3, 3) , (4, 2) , (5, 4)


According to the section formula for mid points



⇒ x1 + x2 = 6 …Equation(i)



⇒ x2 + x3 = 8 …Equation (ii)



⇒ x3 + x1 = 10 …Equation(iii)


Solving Equation (i) ,(ii) and (iii)


x2 = 6 - x1


Putting this value in equation (ii) we get


x3 - x1 = 2 …Equation (iv)


Solving Equation (iii) & (iv)


2x3 = 12


⇒ x3 = 6


Putting in Equation (iv)


6 - x1 = 2


⇒ x1 = 4


Putting this value in equation (i)


4 + x2 = 6


⇒ x2 = 2



⇒ y1 + y2 = 6 …Equation (v)



⇒ y2 + y3 = 4 …Equation (vi)



⇒ y3 + y1 = 8 …Equation (vii)


Solving Equation (v) ,(vi) and (vii)


y2 = 6 - y1


Putting this value in equation (vi) we get


y3 - y1 = - 2 …Equation (viii)


Solving Equation (vii) & (viii)


2y3 = 6


⇒ y3 = 3


Putting in Equation (viii)


3 - y1 = - 2


⇒ y1 = 5


Putting this value in equation (v)


5 + y2 = 6


⇒ y2 = 1


The Vertices of the larger triangle are (4,5) , (2,1) , (6,3)



Question 3.

A parallelogram is drawn with the lines joining (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) to the origin as adjacent sides. What are the coordinates of the fourth vertex?



Answer:

Let the coordinate of fourth vertex be (a1, b1) and the point of intersection of diagonals be (a2, b2)


Diagonals of a parallelogram bisects each other


According to the section formula for mid points


a2


⇒ a2 = 0.5(x1 + x2)


b2


⇒ b2 = 0.5(y1 + y2)


The point of intersection is (0.5(x1 + x2), 0.5(y1 + y2))


Again using the section formula for mid points



⇒ a1 = x1 + x2



⇒ b1 = y1 + y2


The fourth vertex of parallelogram is (x1 + x2, y1 + y2)



Question 4.

Prove that in any parallelogram, the sum of the square of all sides is equal to the sum of the squares of the diagonals.


Answer:


In the parallelogram ABCD, AB = CD & AD = BC


Let DF and CE be two perpendiculars drawn on AB


In ΔAEC using Pythagoras theorem we can say


AC2 = AE2 + CE2


Since AE = AB + BE so we can say


⇒ AC2 = (AB + BE)2 + CE2


AC2 = AB2 + BE2 + 2 × AB × BE + CE2 …Equation (i)


In ΔDBF using Pythagoras theorem we can say


DB2 = DF2 + BF2


Since BF = AB - AF so we can say


⇒ DB2 = (AB - AF)2 + DF2


DB2 = AB2 + AF2 - 2 × AB × AF + DF2 …Equation (ii)


In ΔDAF & ΔCBE


DA = CB (Opposite sides of a parallelogram)


DF = CE (DCEF is a rectangle)


∠DFA = ∠ CEB (Perpendiculars)


So ΔDAF & ΔCBE are congruent by S.A.S. axiom of congruency


AF = BE (Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangle)


Adding Equation (i) and (ii)


AC2 + DB2 = AB2 + AF2 - 2 × AB × AF + DF2 + AB2 + BE2 + 2 × AB × BE + CE2


⇒ AC2 + DB2 = AB2 + AF2 + DF2 + AB2 + BE2 + CE2


(Since AF = BE)


Since AB = CD (Opposite side of parallelogram)


⇒ AC2 + DB2 = AB2 + AF2 + DF2 + CD2 + BE2 + CE2


Using Pythagoras theorem


⇒ AC2 + DB2 = AB2 + AD2 + CD2 + BC2


Hence Proved




Questions Pg-220
Question 1.

The coordinates of two points A, B are (3, 2) and (8, 7).

i) Calculate the coordinates of the point P on AB such that AP : PB = 2 : 3

ii) Calculate the coordinates of the point Q on AB such that AQ : QB = 3 : 2


Answer:

(i) The points are A(3,2) , B(8,7)


AP : PB = 2 : 3(Given)



P(x,y) = (5,4)


(ii) The points are A(3,2) , B(8,7)


AQ : QB = 3 : 2(Given)



Q(x,y) = (6,5)



Question 2.

The coordinates of the vertices of a quadrilateral are (2, 1), (5, 3), (8, 7), (4, 9) in order.

i) Find the coordinates of the midpoints of all sides.

ii) Prove that the quadrilateral with these midpoints as vertices is a parallelogram.


Answer:

Let the mid points be A, B, C, D


Using the section formula for mid points


A(x, y)


A(x, y)


A(x, y) = (3.5,2)


B(x, y)


B(x, y)


B(x, y) = (6.5,5)


C(x, y)


C(x, y)


C(x, y) = (6,8)


D(x, y)


D(x, y)


D(x, y) = (3,5)


(ii) Length AB = √((6.5 - 3.5)2 + (5 - 2)2)


Length AB = 3√2 units


Length BC = √((6.5 - 6)2 + (5 - 8)2)


Length BC = √9.25 units


Length CD = √((6 - 3)2 + (8 - 5)2)


Length CD = 3√2 units


Length DA = √((3.5 - 3)2 + (2 - 5)2)


Length DA = √9.25 units


Since the lengths of opposite sides are equal hence it forms a parallelogram.


Hence the quadrilateral forms a parallelogram by joining the mid points .



Question 3.

In the picture, the midpoints of the sides of the large quadrilateral are joined to draw the small quadrilateral inside.



i) Find the coordinates of the fourth vertex of the small quadrilateral.

ii) Find the coordinates of the other three vertices of the large quadrilateral.


Answer:

Let the three vertices of larger quadrilateral be A, B ,C



⇒ A(x) = 4



⇒ A(y) = 5


A(4 ,5)



⇒ B(x) = 8



⇒ B(y) = 7


B(8,7)



⇒ C(x) = 14



⇒ C(y) = 5


C(14,5)


Let the fourth vertex of the smaller quadrilateral be (a,b)



⇒ a = 8



⇒ b = 3


Three vertices of larger quadrilateral are A(4 ,5) , B(8,7) & C(14,5) and the fourth vertex of the smaller quadrilateral is (8,3)



Question 4.

The vertices of a triangle are the points with coordinates (3, 5), (9, 13), (10, 6). Prove that the triangle is isosceles. Calculate is area.


Answer:

The three vertices are (3, 5), (9, 13), (10, 6)


Length of first side = √((9 - 3)2 + (13 - 5)2)


⇒ Length of first side = √(62 + 82)


⇒ Length of first side = 10 units


Length of second side = √((10 - 9)2 + (6 - 13)2)


⇒ Length of second side = √(12 + 72)


⇒ Length of second side = √50 units


Length of third side = √((10 - 3)2 + (6 - 5)2)


⇒ Length of third side = √(72 + 12)


⇒ Length of third side = √50 units


Since the length of second and third sides are equal so the triangle is isosceles


Length of height


Length of height = √75 units


Area = 0.5 × base × height


⇒ Area = 12.5 × 1.732


⇒ Area = 12.5 × 1.732 = 10.768 sq. units



Question 5.

The coordinates of the vertices of a triangle are (–1, 5), (3, 7), (3, 1). Find the coordinates of its centroid.


Answer:

The three coordinates are ( - 1, 5) , (3, 7) , (3, 1)


Let the centroid be C(x1, y1)






The Coordinates of centroid is



Question 6.

Answer:

Centre of circle is (1, 2)


Point (3, 2)


Let the coordinates of the other end be (x1,y1)


Using the section formula for mid points



⇒ 3 + x1 = 2


⇒ x1 = - 1



⇒ 2 + y1 = 4


⇒ y1 = 2


Answer : The Other point is ( - 1 , 2)




Questions Pg-226
Question 1.

Prove that the points (1, 8), (2, 5), (3, 7) are on the same line.


Answer:

The three points are (1, 8) ,(2, 5) ,(3, 7)


Slope of First two points


Slope of First two points = - 3


The Equation of line between first two points :


y - 8 = - 3(x - 1)


⇒ y - 8 = - 3x + 3


⇒ 3x + y = 11


We put the point (3, 7) in the above equation.


On solving we will find the point doesn’t satisfy the equation.


Hence the three points doesn’t lie on a straight line.



Question 2.

Find the coordinates of two other points on the line joining (–1, 4) and (1, 2).


Answer:

The two points are ( - 1, 4) ,(1,2)


Slope of two points


Slope of two points = - 1


The Equation of line between two points :


y - 2 = - 1 (x–1)


⇒ x + y - 3 = 0


Putting x = 0 in the above equation we get y = 3


Putting y = 0 in the above equation we get x = 3


So the other two points are (0,3) (3,0)



Question 3.

x1, x2, x3,… and y1, y2, y3,… are arithmetic sequences. Prove that all points with coordinates in the sequence (x1, y1), (x2, y2), (x3, y3),… are on the same line.


Answer:

Let the common difference between the x - coordinate be dx , between the y - coordinate be dy


The three points can be written in terms of their common difference as (x1, y1), (x1 + dx, y1 + dy), (x1 + 2dx, y1 + 2dy)


Slope of first two points


⇒ Slope of first two points


Slope of last two points


⇒ Slope of last two points


Since the slope of first two points and last two points are same hence they are on the same line.


Hence proved



Question 4.

Prove that if the point (x1, y1), (x2, y2), (x3, y3) are on a line, so are (3x1 + 2y1,3x1 – 2y1), (3x2 + 2y2,3x2 – 2y2), (3x3 + 2y3,3x3 – 2y3). Would this be true if we take other numbers instead of 3 and 2?


Answer:

The three points are say A(x1, y1), B(x2, y2), C(x3, y3)


Since they lie on a line so slope of any two points are always equal


…Equation (i)


The other set of three points are say P(3x1 + 2y1,3x1 – 2y1), Q(3x2 + 2y2,3x2 – 2y2), R(3x3 + 2y3,3x3 – 2y3)


Since they also lie on a line so slope between any two points is always equal




Applying Componendo and dividendo we get




Applying Invertendo we get


…Equation (ii)


Since Equation (i) & Equation (ii) are similar so the points P,Q and R lie on the line joining A,B & C


Hence Proved


Yes it is possible if we take multiples of 2 and 3




Questions Pg-230
Question 1.

Answer:

Slope of the line


⇒ Slope of the line = 2


Equation of line :


y - 2 = 2(x - 1)


⇒ 2x - y = 0


⇒ y = 2x


Value of y for consecutive natural numbers :




Question 2.

Find the equation of the line joining (–1, 3), (2, 5). Prove that if (x, y) is a point on this line, so is (x + 3, y + 2).


Answer:

Slope of the line


⇒ Slope of the line


Equation of line :



⇒ 3(y - 5) = 2(x - 2)


⇒ 2x - 3y + 11 = 0 …Equation (i)


Putting x = x + 3 and y = y + 2 in the above equation we get


2(x + 3) - 3(y + 2) + 11 = 0


⇒ 2x - 3y + 11 = 0


Since it again gives the same equation as (i) so it is a point on this line.


Hence Proved



Question 3.

Prove that for any number x, the point (x, 2x + 3) is on the line joining (–1, 1), (2, 7).


Answer:

Slope of the line


⇒ Slope of the line = 2


Equation of line :


y - 2 = 2(x - 7)


⇒ 2x - y - 12 = 0


Putting x = x and y = 2x + 3 in the above equation we get


2x - (2x + 3) - 12 = 0


which satisfies the above equation


Hence Proved



Question 4.

The x coordinate of a point on the slanted (blue) line in the picture is 3.



i) What is its y coordinate?

ii) What is the slope of the line?

iii) Write the equation of the line.


Answer:

(i) Let the y coordinate be a


tan 600


⇒ a = 2√3


The y coordinate is 2√3


(ii) Slope = tan 600


⇒ Slope of line = √3


(iii) Equation of line:


y - 0 = √3(x - 1)


⇒ √3x - y - √3 = 0



Question 5.

In the picture, ABCD is a square. Prove that for any point on the diagonal BD, the sum of the x and y coordinates is zero.



Answer:

Slope of diagonal AC


⇒ Slope of diagonal AC = 1


Since diagonals of a square are perpendicular to each other


Slope of diagonal AC × Slope of diagonal BD = - 1


⇒ Slope of diagonal BD = - 1


Origin (0,0) is a point on the diagonal


Equation of diagonal BD:


y = - x


⇒ x + y = 0


Hence Proved



Question 6.

Prove that for any point on the line intersecting the axes in this picture, the sum of the x and y coordinates is 3.



Answer:

Length of x intercept (a) = 3 units


Length of y intercept (b) = 3 units


According to slope intercept form , the equation of the line is




⇒ x + y = 3


Proved



Question 7.

Find the equation of the circle with centre at the org in and radius 5. Write the coordinates of eight points on this circle.


Answer:

Radius = 5 units


Equation of circle:


x2 + y2 = 25


Consider x = 0


⇒ y2 = 25


⇒ y = ±5


Again Consider y = 0


⇒ x2 = 25


⇒ x = ±5


Consider x = y


2x2 = 25




Consider x = - y


2x2 = 25




Hence the Eight points are:




Question 8.

Let (x, y) be a point on the circle with the line joining (0, 1) and (2, 3) as diameter. Prove that x2 + y2 – 2x – 4y + 3 = 0. Find the coordinates of the points where this circle cuts the x axis.


Answer:

Two diametrically Opposite points are (0,1),(2,3)


Equation of circle for two Diametrically Opposite points:


(x - 0)(x - 2) + (y - 1)(y - 3) = 0


⇒ x2 - 2x + y2 - 4y + 3 = 0


When the circle cuts the x axis the y coordinate is 0


⇒ x2 - 2x + 3 = 0


Discriminant = ( - 2)2 - 4 × 1 × 3


Discriminant = - 8


Since Discriminant is negative so the roots are imaginary


Hence the circle doesn’t cut the x - axis at any point.



Question 9.

What is the equation of the circle in the picture below?



Answer:

The X and Y axis meets the circle at point O


The line joining the two points (0,2) and (4,0) forms the diameter of the circle.


Let the centre of the circle be C(x, y)


Using Section Formula for mid points



⇒ C(x) = 2



⇒ C(y) = 1


The coordinate of Center is (2, 1)


Radius of Circle = √((4 - 2)2 + (0 - 1)2)


⇒ Radius = √5 units


So the equation of circle is:


(x - 2)2 + (y - 1)2 = 5


⇒ x2 + y2 - 4x - 2y + 5 = 5


x2 + y2 - 4x - 2y = 0
