Karnataka State Syllabus Class 10 Maths Chapter 7 Coordinate Geometry Ex 7.3
Question 1.
Find the area of the triangle whose vertices are:
i) (2, 3), (- 1, 0), (2, – 4)
ii) (-5, – 1), (3, -5), (5, 2)
Answer:
i) Let A (2, 3) = (x1, y1)
B (- 1, 0) = (x2, y2)
C (2, – 4) = (x3, y3).
Area of the triangle from the given data:
ii) Let A (- 5, – 1) = (x1, y1)
B (3, -5) = (x2, y2)
C (5, 2) = (x3, y3).
Area of the triangle from the given data :
area of ∆ PQR = 32 Sq units
Question 2.
In each of the following find the value of ‘k’, for which the points are collinear.
i) (7, – 2), (5, 1), (3, k)
ii) (8, 1), (k, – 4), (2, – 5)
Answer:
i) Let A (7, – 2)= (x1, y1)
B (5, 1) = (x2, y2)
C (3, k) = (x3, y3).
Points are collinear, therefore the area of the triangle formed by these is zero (0).
Hence the given points are collinear for K = 4.
ii) Let A (8, 1) = (x1, y1)
B (k, – 4) = (x2, y2)
C (2, – 5) = (x3, y3).
Area of Triangle ABC = 0
∴ ABC is a straight line.
\(\frac{1}{1}\) [x1 (y2 – y3) + x3 (y3 – y1) + x3 (y1 – y2)] = 0 .
[8(- 4 +5) + K (- 5 – 1) + 2(1 + 4)] = 0
8 x 1 – 6K + 2(5) = 0
8 – 6K + 10 = 0
– 6K + 18 = O
6K = 18
K = 18/6 = 3
K = 3
Question 3.
Find the area of the triangle formed by joining the mid-points of the sides of the triangle whose vertices are (0, -1), (2, 1) and (0, 3). Find the ratio of this area to the area of the given triangle.
Answer:
Let the mid-points of ∆ABC are P, Q, R, and also the mid-points of AB, BC, and AC.
Now P, Q, R be the midpoints of BC, CA, and AB, respectively Midpoint formula
area of (∆ABC) = 4 sq units
Ratio of area of ∆PQR : ∆ABC = 1 : 4
Question 4.
Find the area of the quadrilateral whose vertices, taken in order, are (- 4, – 2), (- 3, – 5), (3, – 2), and (2, 3)
Area of ∆ ABC
area of ∆ ADC = \(\frac{35}{2}\)
area of quadrilateral ABCD = Area of ∆ABC + area of ∆ACD
\(=\frac{21}{2}+\frac{35}{2}=\frac{56}{2}=28\)
area of quadrilateral ABCD = 28 sq.units
Question 5.
You have studied in Class IX, (Chapter 9, Example 3), that a median of a triangle divides it into two triangles of equal areas. Verify this result for ∆ABC whose vertices are A(4, -6), B(3, -2) and C(5, 2).
Answer:
Since AD is the median of ∆ ABC. D is the midpoint of BC
Coordinates of D are
Since the area cannot be negative. Therefor area of ∆ ABD = 3 sq. units → (1)
Area of ∆ ADC
ar (∆ ADC) = 3 sq. units → (2)
Form eqn (1) & (2)
are of ∆ ABD = area of ∆ ADC
