Hide | ShowAnswer :
(– 4, 2)
The points A (9, 0), B (9, 6), C (–9, 6) and D (–9, 0) are the vertices of a ____________

Rectangle
The distance of the point P (2, 3) from the x-axis is______
Hide | ShowAnswer :
3
Find that value(s) of x for which the distance between the points P(x, 4) and Q(9, 10) is 10 units. (2011D)
Hide | ShowAnswer :
PQ = 10 …Given in question
PQ2 = 102 = 100 … [Squaring
(9 – x)2 + (10 – 4)2 = 100… (using the distance formula
(9 – x)2 + 36 = 100
(9 – x)2 = 100 – 36 = 64
(9 – x) = ± 8 …[Taking square-root
9 – x = 8 or 9 – x = -8
9 – 8 = x or 9+ 8 = x
x = 1 or x = 17
Find the value of y for which the distance between the points A (3,-1) and B (11, y) is 10 units. (2011OD)
Hide | ShowAnswer :
AB = 10 units … [Given in the question
AB2 = 102 = 100 … [Squaring
(11 – 3)2 + (y + 1)2 = 100
82 + (y + 1)2 = 100
(y + 1)2 = 100 – 64 = 36
y + 1 = ±6 … [Taking square-root
y = -1 ± 6 ∴ y = -7 or 5
The point A(3, y) is equidistant from the points P(6, 5) and Q(0, -3). Find the value of y. (2011D)
Hide | ShowAnswer :
PA = QA …[Given in the question
PA2 = QA2 … [Squaring
(3 – 6)2 + (y – 5)2 = (3 – 0)2 + (y + 3)2
9 + (y – 5)2 = 9 + (y + 3)2
(y – 5)2 = (y + 3)2
y – 5 = ±(y + 3) … [Taking square root
y – 5 = y + 3 y – 5 = -y – 3
0 = 8 … which is not possible ∴ y = 1
Find the value of k, if the point P(2, 4) is equidistant from the points A(5, k) and B(k, 7). (2012OD)
Hide | ShowAnswer :
Let P(2, 4), A(5, k) and B(k, 7).
PA = PB …[Given in the question
PA2 = PB2 … [Squaring
(5 – 2)2 + (k – 4)2 = (k – 2)2 + (7 – 4)2
9 + (k – 4)2 – (k – 2)2 = 9
(k – 4 + k – 2) (k – 4 – k + 2) = 0
(2k – 6)(-2) = 0
2k – 6 = 0
2k = 6 ∴ k = 3
If the point P(k – 1, 2) is equidistant from the points A(3, k) and B(k, 5), find the values of k. (2014OD)
Hide | ShowAnswer :
PA = PB …Given in the question
PA2 = PB2 … [Squaring
⇒ (k – 1 – 3)2 + (2 – k)2 = (k – 1 – k)2 + (2 – 5)2
⇒ (k – 4)2 + (2 – k)2 = (-1)2 + (-3)2
k2 – 8k + 16 + 4 + k2 – 4k = 1 + 9
2k2 – 12k + 20 – 10 = 0
2k2 – 12k + 10 = 0
⇒ k2 – 6k + 5 = 0 …[Dividing by 2
⇒ k2 – 5k – k + 5 = 0
⇒ k(k – 5) – 1(k – 5) = 0
⇒ (k – 5) (k – 1) = 0
⇒ k – 5 = 0 or k – 1 = 0
∴ k = 5 or k = 1
