2 We can determine whether a quadrilateral 5

placed on coordinate plane is a
parallelogram or not in coordinate geometry,
distance formula and mid point formula are
enough to show that quadrilateral placed on
coordinate axes is a parallelogram or not. If
vertices of triangle are given then using
distance formula we can find length of sides
of triangle, e.g. ABCD is a quadrilateral placed on coordinate axis as shown. Using
distance formula find AB = CD and AD = BC and using mid point formula check
diagonal AC and BD bisect each other or not. Answer the questions based on above:

(a) If A(2, 3), B((4, 6), C(7, 4) and D(a, b) are the vertices of a quadrilateral, such that
diagonals AC and BD intersects each other O. If O is mid point of AC and BD then
 value of a and b are

(i) a = 5, b = 1 (ii) a = 1, b = 5 (iii) a = –5, b = – 1 (iv) a = – 1, b = – 5

(b) Three vertices of a parallelogram taken in order are (0, 3), (0, 0) and (5, 0), then
fourth vertex is

(i) (5, 1) (ii) (1, 5) (iii) (5, 3) (iv) (3, 5)

(c) If P(5, 2), Q(2, – 2) and R(2, y) are vertices of a right angled triangle where ∠Q =
90° then y =

(d) If A(6, 1), B(8, 2) and C(9, 4) are three vertices of a parallelogram ABCD and E is
mid point of CD, then coordinates of E are

4 Consider the line segment containing the end points A and B as shown. P is mid point
of AB. AP = BP Hence P is equidistant
from A and B. Hence to find equidistant for
any two end points of a line segment, we can use mid point formula and distance
formula, which depends upon the condition given. The concept of equidistant is used
throughout in a coordinate geometry or plane geometry, e.g. in parallel lines, parallel
planes and in circles. In circle each point that lies on circle is equidistant from the centre
of the circle. Answer the questions based on above concept

(a) If A(1, 5), B(5, 1) and C(– 4, – 1) are the vertices of ∆ABC. Find the length of 5
median AD where point D lies on BC.

(b) Find the coordinates of point A where AB is diameter of circle whose centre is (– 2,
3) and coordinates of point B are (– 1, – 4).

(c) Find the coordinates of point on y-axis which is equidistant from (2, 9) and (– 4, 3).

(d) What are the values of a and b if P(a, b) is mid point of A(– 2, 1) and B(4, – 1)?

(e) What is the relation between x and y, if A(x, y) is equidistant from B(–5, 7) and C(–
4, 5)?

5 The section formula is helpful in coordinate geometry. It is so much useful in physics 5

too. It helps to determine the centre of mass of system equilibrium points and etc. The
section formula helps in finding the coordinates of a point dividing a given line segment
into two parts such that their length are in
the given ratio. The coordinates of a point
P, which divides the line segment AB, internally in the ratio m1 : m2 is given by

Answer the questions based on above

2 : 3. Determine the coordinates of point P.

6 A player in football ground visualise angle of elevation and angle of depression of an

object (football). Two cases are shown in figure, Case I, when football (object) is lying
on the ground. Case II, when football (object) is
lying above the ground. In figure 1, player is
visualising angle of elevation. In figure 2, player is
visualising angle of depression. Answer the
questions based on above (a) What is line of sight?
(b) Define angle of elevation. (c) Define angle of 5
depression. (d) The angle of depression of a car
standing on the ground from the top of a 100 m
high tower is 30°. Find the distance of the car from
the base of the tower in (m). (e) The angle of
elevation of a top of a tower from a point on the
ground, which is 60 m away from the foot of the
tower is 60°. Find the height of the tower.

7 The concept of trigonometry is used to calculate height of objects or distances between 5

points and alternatively, if the heights or distances are given (known) then angles can be
determined. e.g. 1. A 20 feet high flag pole from a right angle with the ground and cast a

shadow on ground as shown. Using angle of elevation q, the

length of the shadow can be determined. e.g. 2. From the top of a light house, with the
given (known) angles of depression of two ships, exactly behind the other the distance
 between them can be measured. e.g. 3. Concept of trigonometry is used in measuring
Sun altitude. At sometime of a day, the length of the shadow of a tower is equal to its
height. The Sun’s altitude that time can be measured. On the basis of above concept of
trigonometry, answer the questions based on above.

(a) The top of two poles of height 28 m and 14 m are connected by a wire. If the wire
makes an angle of 30° with the horizontal. Determine the length of wire.

(b) The height of tower is 30 m. An observer 1.5 m tall is standing 28.5 m away from the
tower. Determine the angle of elevation of the tower from the eye of the observer.

(c) A straight highway leads to the foot of 150 m tall tower. From the top of a tower, the
angle of depression of a car on the highway is 30°. Find the distance of a car from the
foot of the tower.

(d) The two poles of height h1 and h2 are standing on the level ground. Their tops
subtends angles 30° and 60° at the mid point of the line joining their feet. Find ratio h1 :
h2.

(e) What will be the length of the shadow cast by a tower of 1500 m high, assume that
the angle of elevation of the Sun is 45°.
