Exercise-8.1

Question 1:

Find the distance between the following pairs of points :

Question 2:

A point P on X-axis is at distance 13 from A(11, 12). Find the coordinates of P.

Solution :

The y-coordinate of any point on the x-axis is zero.
Let, P(x, 0) be a point on the x-axis such that the distance of it from A(11, 12) is 13 units.
PA = 13
∴ PA2 = 169
∴ (x – 11)2 + (0 – 12)2 = 169
∴ x2 – 22x + 121 + 144 = 169
∴ x2 – 22x + 265 = 169
∴ x2 – 22x + 96 = 0
∴ x2 – 16x – 6x + 96 = 0
∴ (x – 16)(x – 6) = 0
∴ x – 16 = 0 or x – 6 = 0
∴ x = 16 or x = 6
∴ The required point on x-axis is P(x, 0) = P(16, 0)  or P(x, 0) = P(6, 0).

Question 3:

Using distance formula, show that A(2, 3), B(4, 7) and C(0, -1) are collinear points.

Solution :

Question 4:

Find a point on Y-axis which is equidistant from P(-6, 4) and Q(2, -8).

Solution :
GSEB Solutions for Class 10 mathematics - Coordinate Geometry-ex(8.1)-4

Question 5:

P(x, y) is a point on the perpendicular bisector of the segment \(\overline{AB}\) joining A(2, 3) and B(-4, 1). Find the relation between x and y.

Solution :
GSEB Solutions for Class 10 mathematics - Coordinate Geometry-ex(8.1)-5

Question 6:

If the distance between A(10, 8) and B(a, 2) is 10, find a.

Solution :

Here, AB =10
AB = 100
∴ (10 – a)2 + (8 – 2)2 = 100
∴ 100 – 20a + a2 + 36 = 100
∴ a2 – 20a + 36 = 0
∴ a(a – 18)(a – 2) = 0
∴ (a – 18)(a – 2) = 0
∴ a – 18 = 0  or a – 2 = 0
∴ a = 18 or a = 2
So if the distance between A(10, 8) and B(a, 2) is 10, then a = 18 or a = 2.

Question 7:

m∠B = 90 in the triangle whose vertices are A(2, 3), B(4, 5) and C(a, 2). Find a.

Solution :
GSEB Solutions for Class 10 mathematics - Coordinate Geometry-ex(8.1)-7

Question 8:

Solution :
GSEB Solutions for Class 10 mathematics - Coordinate Geometry-ex(8.1)-8

Question 9:

A(1, 7), B(2, 4), C(k, 5) are the vertices of a right angled ∆ABC,

  1. Find k, if ∠A is a right angle
  2. Find k, if ∠B is a right angle
  3. Find k, if ∠C is a right angle

Solution :

Here, A(1, 7), B(2, 4), C(k, 5) are the vertices of a right angled triangle.
AB2 = (1 – 2)2 + (7 – 4)2 = 1 + 9 = 10
BC2 = (2 – k)2 + (4 – 5)2
= 4 – 4k + k2 + 1
= k2 – 4k + 5
AC2 = (1 – k)2 + (7 – 5)2
= 1 – 2k + k2 + 4
= k2 – 2k + 5
1. ∠A is a right angle.
∴ BC2 = AB2 +AC2
∴ k2 – 4k + 5 = 10 + k2 – 2k + 5
∴ -2 k = 10
∴ k = -5
Hence, if ∠A is a right angle in ∆ABC, then k = -5.
GSEB Solutions for Class 10 mathematics - Coordinate Geometry-ex(8.1)-9.1
2. ∠B is a right angle.
∴ AC2 = AB2 + BC2
∴ k2 – 2k + 5 = 10 + k2 – 4k + 5
∴ 2k = 10
∴ k = 5
Hence, if ∠B is a right angle in ∆ABC, then k = 5.
GSEB Solutions for Class 10 mathematics - Coordinate Geometry-ex(8.1)-9.2
3. ∠C is a right angle.
∴ AB2 = BC2 + AC2
∴ 10 = k2 – 4k + 5 + k2 – 2k + 5
∴ 2k2 – 6k = 0
∴ k2 – 3k = 0
∴ k(k – 3) = 0
∴ k = 0 or k = 3
Hence, if ∠C is a right angle in ∆ABC, then k = 0 or k = 3

Question 10:

Show that A(2, 3), B(4, 5) and C(3, 2) can be the vertices of a rectangle. Find the coordinates of the fourth vertex.

Solution :
GSEB Solutions for Class 10 mathematics - Coordinate Geometry-ex(8.2)-10.1
A(2, 3), B(4, 5) and C(3, 2) are the given points.
AB2 = (2 – 4)2 + (3 – 5)2
= 4 + 4
= 8
BC2 = (4 – 3)2 + (5 – 2)2
= 1 + 9
= 10
AC2 = (2 – 3)2 + (3 – 2)2
= 1 + 1
= 2
AB2 + AC2 = 8 + 2
=10
∴  AB2 + AC2 = BC2
∴ In ∆ABC, ∠A is a right angle,
∴ ∆ABC is a right angled triangle. So, we can say that A, B and C can be the vertices of a rectangle whose fourth vertex is D(x, y) opposite to vertex A,
Now, the diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other

Solution :
GSEB Solutions for Class 10 mathematics - Coordinate Geometry-ex(8)-3

Question 4:

Find k if A(k, 2), B(3, 1), C(4, 2) are the vertices of a right angle triangle.

Solution :

A(k, 2), B(3, 1), C(4, 2) are the vertices of a right angles triangle.
AB2 = (k – 3)2 + (2 – 1)2
= k2 – 6k + 9 + 1
= k2 – 6k + 10
BC2 = (3 – 4)2 + (1 – 2)2
 = 1 + 1
= 2
AC2 = (k – 4)2 + (2 – 2)2
 = k2 – 8k + 16
There are three possible cases:
Case 1:
m∠A = 90°
∴ BC2 = AB2 + AC2
∴ 2 = k2 – 6k + 10 + k2 – 8k + 16
∴ 2 = 2k2 – 14k + 24
∴ 2k2 – 14k + 24 = 0
∴ k2 – 7k + 12 = 0
∴ k(k – 4) – 3(k – 4) = 0
∴ (k – 4)(k – 3) = 0
∴ k = 4 or k = 3. But for k = 4, the points A and C are equal so we cannot take k = 4. Thus, in this case we get k = 3.
Case 2:
m∠B = 90°
∴AC2 = AB2 + BC2
∴ k2 – 8k + 16 = k2 – 6k + 10 + 2
∴ 4 = 2k
∴ k = 2
Case 3:
m∠C = 90°
∴ AB2 = BC2 + AC2
∴ k2 – 6k + 10 = 2 + k2 – 8k + 16
∴ 2k = 8 ∴ k = 4
But for k = 4, A and C are equal. So k≠4
i.e., For the vertices A(k, 2), B(3, 1) and C(4, 2),
∠C = 90° is not possible.
Thus, for m∠A = 90°, we get, k = 3, for m∠B = 90°, we get, k = 2 and m∠C ≠ 90.

Question 5:

A(3, 0), B(0, 4) and C(3, 4) are the vertices of ∆ABC. The bisector of ∠C intersects \(\overline{AB}\) in D. Hint : The result\(\frac{AD}{DB}=\frac{CQ}{DA}\)

Solution :

a. right angled
A(0, 0), B(3, 0) and C(3, 4)
AB2 = (0 – 3)2 + (0 – 0)2
= 9 + 0
= 9
BC2 = (3 – 3)2 + (0 – 4)2
= 0 + 16
=16
CA2 = (3 – 0)2 + (4 – 0)2
= 9 + 16
=25
Now,
AB2 + BC2
= 9 + 16
= 25
∴ AB2 + BC2 =CA2
