10.Find the area of a rhombus if its vertices are (3, 0), (4, 5), (– 1, 4) and (– 2, – 1) taken in order

take 

A= (3, 0)

8. If A and B are (– 2, – 2) and (2, – 4), respectively, find the coordinates of P such that AP =(3/7) AB and P lies on the line segment AB.

AP =(3/7) AB

means AP = [3/ (3+4)] AB

 

so that P divides AB internally in the ratio 3:4 [draw a rough figure]

 

using section formula for internal division

3 : 4 = m1 : m2

(–2, -2)=(x1,y1)

(2, –4)=(x2,y2)

 

P = [    { 3(2)+4(-2) }/{3+4}  ,{  3(-4) +4(-2) } / {3+4} ]

 {draw a rough figure}

 

To find P

1 : 3 = m1 : m2

(–2, 2)=(x1,y1)

(2, 8)=(x2,y2)

 

P = [ { 1(2)+3(-2) }  / {1+3} , {1(8)+3(2)}/{1+3}  ]

P= ( -1 , (7/2) )

To find Q

2 : 2  or  1:1 = m1 : m2

(–2, 2)=(x1,y1)

(2, 8)=(x2,y2)

 

Q = [ { 1(2)+1(-2) }  / {1+1} , {1(8)+1(2)}/{1+1}  ]

6.

If (1, 2), (4, y), (x, 6) and (3, 5) are the vertices of a parallelogram taken in order, find x and y.

let

A(1, 2),B (4, y),C (x, 6) and D(3, 5)

 

since the vertices are said to be taken in order

we take the diagonals as AC and BD

 

A(1, 2),C (x, 6)

using midpoint formula,

midpoint of AC =[{1+x}/2  , {2+6}/2 ] = [{1+x}/2  ,4 ]  

 

B (4, y), D(3, 5)

using midpoint formula,

midpoint of BD =[{4+3}/2  , {y+5}/2 ] = [7/2  ,{y+5}/2 ]  

We know that the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other

so the midpoints of AC and BD are the same

[{1+x}/2  ,4 ] =[7/2  ,{y+5}/2 ]  

using separate co ordinates

{1+x}/2 = 7/2

1+x=7

x=6

4={y+5}/2

8=y+5

y=3

 

 7. Find the coordinates of a point A, where AB is the diameter of a circle whose centre is (2,-3) and B is (1,4)

 

let A=(h.k)

 B = (1,4)

 using formula for midpoint of AB,

midpoint of AB is  [ {h+1}/2 , {k+4}/2  ]

This is the same as the midpoint (2, -3)

 

[ {h+1}/2 , {k+4}/2  ] = (2, -3)

 

separate the coordinates

 

{h+1}/2 = 2

h+1 = 4

h=3

 

(k+4)/2 =   -3

k+4 = (-6)

k=-6-4

k= (-10)

using section formula for internal division

k : 1 = m1 : m2

(–3, 10)=(x1,y1)

(6, –8)=(x2,y2)

This is the given point  (– 1, 6)

k : 1 = m1 : m2

point of division is P [{k(-4)+1(1)} / {k+1} , {k(5)+1(-5)} / {k+1}] -----------(1)

This is the point of division and it is given that this lies on the x-axis

so that the y-coordinate has to be zero
