10th Class Maths 7th Lesson Coordinate Geometry Ex 7.1 Textbook Questions and Answers

Question 1.
Find the distance between the following pair of points,
(i) (2, 3) and (4, 1)
Answer:
Distance = \(\sqrt{\left(x_{2}-x_{1}\right)^{2}+\left(y_{2}-y_{1}\right)^{2}}\)
= \(\sqrt{(4-2)^{2}+(1-3)^{2}}\)
= \(\sqrt{4+4}\)
= √8 = 2√2 units

ii) (- 5, 7) and (-1, 3)
Answer:
Distance = \(\sqrt{\left(x_{2}-x_{1}\right)^{2}+\left(y_{2}-y_{1}\right)^{2}}\)
= \(\sqrt{(-1+5)^{2}+(3-7)^{2}}\)
= \(\sqrt{4^{2}+(-4)^{2}}\)
= \(\sqrt{16+16}\)
= √32 = 4√2 units

iii) (- 2, -3) and (3, 2)
Answer:

Question 2.
Find the distance between the points (0, 0) and (36, 15).
Answer:
Given: Origin O (0, 0) and a point P (36, 15).
Distance between any point and origin = \(\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}\)
∴ Distance = \(\sqrt{36^{2}+15^{2}}\)
= \(\sqrt{1296+225}\)
= \(\sqrt{1521}\)
= 39 units
AP SSC 10th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 7 Coordinate Geometry Ex 7.1 3
∴ 1521 = 32 × 132
\(\sqrt{1521}\) = 3 × 13 = 39

Question 3.
Verify that the points (1, 5), (2, 3) and (-2, -1) are collinear or not.
Answer:
Given: A (1, 5), B (2, 3) and C (- 2, – 1)
AP SSC 10th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 7 Coordinate Geometry Ex 7.1 4
Here the sum of no two segments is equal to third segment.
Hence the points are not collinear.
!! Slope of AB, m1 = \(\frac{3-5}{2-1}\) = -2
Slope of BC, m2 = \(\frac{-1-3}{-2-2}\) = 1
m1 ≠ m2
Hence A, B, C are not collinear.

Question 4.
Check whether (5, -2), (6, 4) and (7,-2) are the vertices of an isosceles triangle.
Answer:
Let A = (5, – 2); B = (6, 4) and C = (7, – 2).
AP SSC 10th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 7 Coordinate Geometry Ex 7.1 5
Now we have, AB = BC.
∴ △ABC is an isosceles triangle,
i.e., given points are the vertices of an isosceles triangle.

Question 5.
In a classroom, 4 friends are seated at the points A, B, C and D as shown in figure. Jarina and Phani walk into the class and after observing for a few minutes Jarina asks Phani “Don’t you think ABCD is a square?” Phani disagrees. Using distance formula, find which of them is correct. Why?
AP SSC 10th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 7 Coordinate Geometry Ex 7.1 6
Answer:
Given: Four friends are seated at A, B, C and D where A (3, 4), B (6, 7), C (9, 4) and D (6, 1).
Now distance
AP SSC 10th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 7 Coordinate Geometry Ex 7.1 7
BD = \(\sqrt{(6-6)^{2}+(1-7)^{2}}\) = √36 = 6
Hence in □ ABCD four sides are equal
i.e., AB = BC = CD = DA
= 3√2 units
and two diagonals are equal.
i.e., AC = BD = 6 units.
∴ □ ABCD forms a square.
i.e., Jarina is correct.

Answer:
Given: A (a, 0), B (- a, 0), C (0, a√3).
AP SSC 10th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 7 Coordinate Geometry Ex 7.1 8
Now, AB = BC = CA.
∴ △ABC is an equilateral triangle.

Question 7.
Prove that the points (-7, -3), (5, 10), (15, 8) and (3, -5) taken in order are the corners of a parallelogram.
Answer:
To show that the given points form a parallelogram.
We have to show that the mid points of each diagonal are same. Since diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
Now let A(-7, -3), B(5, 10), C(15, 8) and D(3, -5)
Then midpoint of diagonal
AP SSC 10th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 7 Coordinate Geometry Ex 7.1 9
∴ (1) = (2)
Hence the given are vertices of a parallelogram.

Question 8.
Show that the points (-4, -7), (-1, 2), (8, 5) and (5, -4) taken in order are the vertices of a rhombus. And find its area.
(Hint: Area of rhombus = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × product of its diagonals)
Answer:
Given in ▱ ABCD , A(-4, – 7), B (- 1, 2), C (8, 5) and D (5,-4)
AP SSC 10th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 7 Coordinate Geometry Ex 7.1 10
AP SSC 10th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 7 Coordinate Geometry Ex 7.1 11
∴  In ▱ ABCD, AB = BC = CD = AD [from sides are equal]
Hence ▱ ABCD is a rhombus.
Area of a rhombus = \(\frac{1}{2}\) d1d2
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) × 12√2 × 6√2
= 72 sq. units.

AP SSC 10th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 7 Coordinate Geometry Ex 7.1 12
In ▱ ABCD, AB = BC = CD = AD – four sides are equal.
AC = BD – diagonals are equal.
Hence, the given points form a square,

AP SSC 10th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 7 Coordinate Geometry Ex 7.1

ii) (-3, 5), (1, 10), (3, 1), (-1,-4).
Answer:
Let A(-3, 5), B(l,10), C(3, 1), D(-l, -4) then
AP SSC 10th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 7 Coordinate Geometry Ex 7.1 13
In ▱ ABCD, \(\overline{\mathrm{AB}}\) = \(\overline{\mathrm{CD}}\) and \(\overline{\mathrm{BC}}\) = \(\overline{\mathrm{AD}}\) (i.e., both pairs of opposite sides are equal) and \(\overline{\mathrm{AC}}\) ≠ \(\overline{\mathrm{BD}}\).
Hence ▱ ABCD is a parallelogram,
i.e., The given points form a parallelogram.

iii) (4, 5), (7, 6), (4, 3), (1, 2).
Answer:
Let A (4, 5), B (7, 6), C (4, 3) and D (1, 2) be the given points.

Question 10.
Find the point on the X-axis which is equidistant from (2, -5) and (-2,9).
Answer:
Given points, A (2, – 5), B (- 2, 9).
Let P (x, 0) be the point on X – axis which is equidistant from A and B. i.e., PA = PB.
Distance formula = \(\sqrt{\left(x_{2}-x_{1}\right)^{2}+\left(y_{2}-y_{1}\right)^{2}}\)
AP SSC 10th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 7 Coordinate Geometry Ex 7.1 15
But PA = PB.
⇒ \(\sqrt{x^{2}-4 x+29}=\sqrt{x^{2}+4 x+85}\)
Squaring on both sides, we get
x2 – 4x + 29 = x2 + 4x + 85
⇒ – 4x – 4x = 85 – 29
⇒ – 8x = 56
⇒ x = \(\frac{56}{-8}\) = -7
∴ (x, 0) = (- 7, 0) is the point which is equidistant from the given points.

Question 11.
If the distance between two points (x, 7) and (1, 15) is 10, find the value of x.
Answer:
Formula for distance between two points = \(\sqrt{\left(x_{1}-x_{2}\right)^{2}+\left(y_{1}-y_{2}\right)^{2}}\)
Now distance between (x, 7) and (1,15) is 10.
∴ \(\sqrt{(x-1)^{2}+(7-15)^{2}}\) = 10
∴ (x – l)2 + (-8)2 = 102
⇒ (x – l)2 = 100 – 64 = 36
∴ x – 1 = √36 = ± 6
∴ x – 1 = 6 or x – 1 = -6
⇒ x = 6 + 1 = 7 or x = -6 + 1 = -5
∴ x = 7 or x = – 5

Question 12.
Find the values of y for which the distance between the points P(2, -3) and Q(10, y) is 10 units.
Answer:
Given: P (2, – 3), Q (10, y) and
\(\overline{\mathrm{PQ}}\) = 10.
Distance formula = \(\sqrt{\left(x_{2}-x_{1}\right)^{2}+\left(y_{2}-y_{1}\right)^{2}}\)
AP SSC 10th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 7 Coordinate Geometry Ex 7.1 16
⇒ y2 + 6y + 73 = 100
⇒ y2 + 6y – 27 = 0
⇒ y2 + 9y – 3y – 27 = 0
⇒ y (y + 9) – 3 (y + 9) = 0
⇒ (y + 9) (y – 3) = 0
⇒ y + 9 = 0 or y – 3 = 0
⇒ y = -9 or y = 3
⇒ y = – 9 or 3.

Question 13.

Answer:
Let A (1, 5), B (5, 8) and C (13, 14) be the given points.
Distance formula
AP SSC 10th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 7 Coordinate Geometry Ex 7.1 19
Here, AC = AB + BC.
∴ △ABC can’t be formed with the given vertices.
[∵ Sum of the any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the third side].

Question 15.
Find a relation between x and y such that the point (x, y) is equidistant from the points (-2, 8) and (-3, -5).
Answer:
Let A (- 2, 8), B (- 3, – 5) and P (x, y). If P is equidistant from A, B, then PA = PB.
Distance formula =
AP SSC 10th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 7 Coordinate Geometry Ex 7.1 20
AP SSC 10th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 7 Coordinate Geometry Ex 7.1 21
Squaring on both sides we get, x2 + y2 + 4x – 16y + 68
= x2 + y2 + 6x +10y + 34
⇒ 4x – 16y – 6x – 10y = 34-68
⇒ – 2x – 26y = -34
⇒ x + 13y = 17 is the required condition.
