Explanation

Area of triangle

$=\dfrac{1}{2}\begin{bmatrix}x_1(y_2-y_3)+x_2(y_3-y_1)+x_3(y_1-y_2)\end{bmatrix}$

$=\dfrac{1}{2}\begin{bmatrix}0(4+9)+0(-9-9)+(-5)(9-4)\end{bmatrix}$

$=\dfrac{1}{2}\begin{bmatrix}-5\times5\end{bmatrix}$

$=-\dfrac{25}{2}$

The area cannot be negative.

$\therefore$ It must be

$\dfrac{25}{2}$ sq. units

So, option A is correct.

Explanation

Area of triangle with vertices

$(x_1,y_1)$ ,

$(x_2,y_2)$ and

$(x_3,y_3)$ is:

Formula for area of triangle is

$\left|\dfrac{1}{2}[x_{1}(y_{2}-y_{3}) + x_{2} (y_{3} - y_{1}) + x_{3} (y_{1} - y_{2})] \right|$
where

$x_{1} = 9$ ,

$y_{1} = 2$ ,

$x_{2} = 5$ ,

$y_{2} = -1$ ,

$x_{3} = 7$ and

The point on the line

$4x - y - 2 = 0$ which is equidistant from the points

$(3, 2)$ is

0%
$(2, 6)$
0%
$(4, 14)$
0%
$(1, 2)$
0%
$(3, 10)$

Explanation

Let the point on line

$4x-y-2=0$ be

$P(x,y)$ .

Let

$A \equiv (-5,6)$ and

$B \equiv (3,2)$

$4x-y-2=0$ ....(1)

Point P is equidistant from points A and B ....Given

$\therefore AP = PB$

By distance formula,

$(x+5)^2 + (y-6)^2 = (x-3)^2 + (y-2)^2$

$x^2+10x+25 + y^2 - 12y + 36 = x^2 - 6x +9 + y^2 - 4y + 4$

$16x - 8y + 48=0$

$4x-2y+12=0$ ....(2)

Subtract eq(2) from eq (1), we get

$y=14$

Substitute in eq(1), we get

$x=4$

So, the point on the line is

$(4, 14)$ .

The equations of the lines through

$(1,\,1)$ and making angles of

$45^{\circ}$ with the line

$x+y=0$ are

0%
$x-1=0,\,x-y=0$
0%
$x-y=0,\,y-1=0$
0%
$x+y-2=0,\,y-1=0$
0%
$x-1=0,\,y-1=0$

Explanation

$m=1,\,y-1=\dfrac{m\pm\,tan\,45^{\circ}}{1+\mp\,m\,tan\,45^{\circ}}(x-1)$ ,

$\Rightarrow\,y-1=\dfrac{(-1)\pm1}{1\pm1}(x-1)$

$\Rightarrow\,y=1,\,x=1$

Midpoint of

$JK$ is

$(-5,-2)$

Midpoint of

$ML$ is

$(3,-2)$

If the coordinates of triangle is

$(a,b) , (c,d) , (e,f)$ then the area formed by the coordinates of triangle is

$\dfrac{1}{2} \times |a(d-f) + c(f-b) + e(b-d)|$

Therefore, the area enclosed by those midpoints will be

$\dfrac12 \times \left |0(-2+2) -5\left (-2-\dfrac {15}{4}\right) +3\left (\dfrac {15}{4}+2\right)\right|$

$= \dfrac {1}{2} \times |0+46|$

Explanation

We know that the area of the triangle whose vertices are

$\displaystyle (x_{1},y_{1}),(x_{2},y_{2}),$ and

$(x_{3},y_{3})$ is

$\cfrac{1}{2}\left | x_{1}(y_{2}-y_{3})+x_{2}(y_{3}-y_{1}) +x_{3}(y_{1}-y_{2})\right |$

Area of triangle

$=\dfrac 12 \left|1(21-5)-1(7-5)+1(1-3) \right|$

$=\dfrac 12 \left| 16-2-2\right| = 6$

Hence, area of the triangle with the given coordinates is

$6$ .

0%
$(1, 2)$

Explanation

It may help a lot to make a figure so you can visualize what is going on:
The figure above shows the point

$(1, 1)$ along with the five possible answers for point P.

Only answer B, point

$(1, 5)$ , is a distance of

$4$ from point

$(1, 1)$ : the y value increases by

$4$ units to go from

$(1, 1)$ to

$(1, 5)$ , and the x-value doesn't change.

Explanation

Mid point of point

$E (-3,3)$ and

$F (-2,-4)$ is

$\left ( \dfrac{-3-2}{2} \right ),\left ( \dfrac{3-4}{2} \right )=\dfrac{-5}{2},\dfrac{-1}{2}=-2.5,-0.5$ ....(hint: using mid-point formula)

And mid point of

$G (1,-2)$ and

$H ( 5,3)$ is

$\left ( \dfrac{1+5}{2} \right ),\left ( \dfrac{3-2}{2} \right )=\dfrac{6}{2},\dfrac{1}{2}= 3,0.5$

Then distance between mid point

$EF$ to mid point

$GH =$

$\sqrt{(-2.5-3)^{2}+(-0.5-0.5)^{2}}=\sqrt{(5.5)^{2}+(-1)^{2}}=\sqrt{30.25+1}=\sqrt{31.25}=5.590$

Area of triangle having vertices

$(x_1,y_1), (x_2,y_2)$ and

$(x_3,y_3)$ is given by

$= \dfrac{1}{2} \times [ x_1 (y_2 - y_3) + x_2(y_3 - y_1) + x_3(y_1 - y_2) ]$

Therefore,

Area of triangle is

$15 = \dfrac {1}{2} \times |1(5-2) + 5(2-2) + k(2-5)|$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac {1}{2} \times |3+0-3k| = \dfrac {1}{2} \times |3-3k| = 15$

$\Rightarrow |3-3k|=30$ =>

$|1-k| = 10$

$\Rightarrow 1-k = 10$ and

$1-k=-10$

$\Rightarrow k=-9$ and

$k=11$

Explanation

Length of side of equilateral triangle is

$AB=BC=CA=2$ .

Let's take the third vertex to be

$C(x,y)$

Then

$AC=BC=>AC^2=BC^2$ .

By distance formula:

$\sqrt((x-2)^2+(y-4)^2)=\sqrt((x-2)^2+(y-6)^2)$

$=>-4y+4=-12y+36$

$=>y=5$

Now

$AC^2=4=((x-2)^2+(y-4)^2)$ .

Putiing

$y=5$ :

$=>x^2-4x+1=0$ .

So, solving the quadratic we get:

$x=2+\sqrt3$ or

$2-\sqrt3$ .

So, required point is

$(2+\sqrt3,5)$ and

The coordinates of

$Q$ are:

0%
$(4,5)$
0%
$(3,4)$
0%
$(2,4)$
0%
$(1,4)$

Explanation

$PQ+QR$

Let coordinates of

$'Q'$ be

$(x,y)$

$\sqrt{(x+2)^2+y^2}=\sqrt{(x-4)^2+y^2}$

Squaring both sides

$(x+2)^2+y^2=(x-4)^2+y^2$

$\Rightarrow x^2+4+4x=x^2+16-8x$

$\Rightarrow 12x=12\Rightarrow \boxed{x=1}$

$QR=5$ units

$\Rightarrow \sqrt{(x-4)^2+y^2=5}$

$\Rightarrow (1-4)^2+y^2=25$

$\Rightarrow y^2=16\Rightarrow y=\pm 4$

$Q$ is above x-axis

$y=4$

$Q=(1,4)$

$(3,13)$

Explanation

(As MN is parallel to 'x' axis \therefore 'y' coordinate not change)

Let

$M=(x,13)$

$\sqrt[6]{(x-12)^{2}+(13-13)^{2}}=9$

$\Rightarrow (x-12)^{2}=9^{2}\Rightarrow x+12=\pm 9$

$\Rightarrow x=3,21$ (As 'M' is left of N )

$\therefore x=3$

Two vertices of a triangle are (2, 1) and (3, -2). Its third vertex is (x, y) such that

$\displaystyle y=x+3$ . If its area is 5 sq. units, what are the co-ordinates of the third vertex?

0%
(3.5, -6.5)
0%
(3.5, 6.5)
0%
(-1.5, -1.5)
0%
(1.5, -1.5)

Explanation

Given third vertex such that,

$y=(x+3)$

since, Area of triangle

$ABC=55q$ units

$\pm \dfrac{1}{2}{x(1+2)+2(-2-y)+3(y-1)}=\xi$

$\Rightarrow \pm \dfrac{1}{2}{x+2x-4-2y+3y-3}=\xi$

$\Rightarrow {3x+y-7}=\pm10$

$\Rightarrow 3x+y-17=0$ ------------(1)

and

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

Given that

$A(x,y)$ lies any

$=(x+3)$ ------------(3)

from equation (L) and (3),

$x=\dfrac{7}{2},y=\dfrac{13}{2}$

$\Rightarrow \boxed{x=3.\xi\,and \, y=6.\xi}$

from equation (2) and (3) we get,

$x=\dfrac{-3}{2}\,and\, y=1.\xi$
