We know that the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
 The coordinates of the mid-point of AC = The coordinates of the mid-point of BD i.e.
If A(x1,y1),B(x2,y2),C(x3,y3) and D(x4,y4) are the vertices of parallelogram ABCD, Then
x1+x32,y1+y32=x2+x42,y2+y42
(2+42,1+b2)=(a+12,0+22)
(1,b12)=(a+12,1)
a+12=1  and  b12=1


a+1=2  and  b1=2


a=1  and  b=3

Formula: 1 Mark
Application: 1 Mark
Answer: 1 Mark
Let the given points be A(4, – 1), B(6, 0), C(7, 2) and D(5, 1) respectively. Then,
Coordinates of the mid-point of AC are
(4+72,1+22)=(112,12) 
Coordinates of the mid-point of BD are
(6+52,0+12)=(112,12) 
Thus, AC and BD have the same mid-point.


Hence, ABCD is a parallelogram.


Now
Distance between the points is given by
(x1x2)2+(y1y2)2 
So, 
AB = (64)2+(0+1)2=5 
BC = (76)2+(20)2=5 
AB = BC 
So, ABCD is a parallelogram whose adjacent sides are equal.
 ABCD is a rhombus.
We have, 


AC = (74)2+(2+1)2=32   and , 


BD = (65)2+(01)2=2 


 
Clearly, the diagonals AC ≠ BD.
So, ABCD is not a square.

AD=(74)2+(31)2
AD=9+16=5 units
BE=(55)2+(23)2
BE=0+25=5 units
and, CF=(63)2+(0+1)2
CF=9+1=10 units

Consider a  parallelogram ABCD .
Let O be the point of intersection of the diagonals AC and BD


If A (1,2), B (4, Y), C (x,6) And D (3,5) Are Vertices Of A ...


We know that diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
O is the midpoint of both the digonals AC and BD
Now, coordinates of O as mid-point of BD are
O(x,y)=(x1+x22),(y1+y22)
O(a,b)=4+32,y+52(1) 
Also, coordinates of O as mid-point of AC are
O(a,b)=1+x2,2+62(2)
From (1) and (2), we have
4+32=1+x2
72=1+x2x=6
And y+52=2+62
y+52=82y=3


Question 65.


If the coordinates of the mid points of the sides of a triangle are (1, 1), (2, – 3) and (3, 4) Find its centroid. [4 MARKS]

Formula for centroid and mid-point: 1 Mark each
Let A(x1,y1),B(x2,y2) and C(x3,y3) be the vertices of triangle ABC.
Let P(1,1), Q(2,-3), R(3,4) be the mid-points of sides AB, BC and CA respectively.
Then, P is the mid-point of BC
x1+x22=1,y1+y22=1
x1+x2=2 and y1+y2=2(1)
Q is the mid-point of AB
x2+x32=2,y2+y32=3
x2+x3=4 and y2+y3=6(2)
R is the mid-point of AC
x1+x32=3,y1+y32=4
x1+x3=6 and y1+y3=8(3)
Adding (1),(2) and (3) we get,
x1+x2+x2+x3+x1+x3=2+4+6
and y1+y2+y2+y3+y1+y3=26+8
x1+x2+x3=6(4) 
and y1+y2+y3=2(5)
The coordinates of the centroid of ABC are
(x1+x2+x33,y1+y2+y33)=63,23=2,23 [Using (4) and (5)]

Answer: 1 Mark
For points A,B,C to be collinear, area of triangle ABC formed by these points should be zero.
The area of  ΔABC=0
 12[x1(y2y3)+x2(y3y1)+x3(y1y2)]=0
12[k(2k6+2k)+(k+1)(62k2+2k)+(4k)(22k2k)]=0
12[k(4k6)+(k+1)(4)+(4k)(24k)]=0
12[4k26k4k+48+16k2k+4k2]=0
8k2+4k4=0
8k2+4k4=0
2k2+k1=0
(k+1)(2k1)=0
k=1 or k=12

Calculation : 2 Marks
Let ABCD be a square and two opposite vertices of it are A(-1, 2) and C(3, 2). ABCD is a square.


The Two Opposite Vertices Of A Square Are (–1, 2) And (3, ...


Since ABCD is a square.
AB=BC
AB2=BC2
[Distance between the points is given by
(x1x2)2+(y1y2)2]
(x+1)2+(y2)2=(x3)2+(y2)2
x2+2x+1=x26x+9
2x+6x=91=8
8x=8x=1
ABC is right Δ at B, then
AC2=AB2+BC2 (Pythagoras theorem)
(3+1)2+(22)2=(x+1)2+(y2)2+(x3)2+(y2)2
16=2(y2)2+(1+1)2+(13)2
16=2(y2)2+4+42(y2)2=168=8
(y2)2=4y2=±2y=4 and 0
i.e when x = 1 then y = 4 and 0
Co-ordinates of the opposite vertices are: B(1,0) or D(1,4)

 Area of ΔABC=12|(1×3+7×2+12×1)(7×1+12×(3)+1×2)|
ΔABC=12|(3+14+12)(736+2)|
ΔABC=12|23+27|=25sq.units


Also, we have


Find The Area Of The Quadrilateral ABCD Whose Vertices Are R...


Area of ΔACD=12|(1×2+12×21+7×1)(12×1+7×2+1×21)|
 ΔACD=12|(2+252+7)(12+14+21)|
ΔACD=12|26147|=107sq.units
Area of quadrilateral ABCD = 25 + 107 = 132 sq. units
