Question

Show that the point $(0, 9)$ is equidistant from the points $(– 4, 1)$ and $(4, 1)$

Answer

Let $P\left(x_1, y_1\right)=P(0,9), Q\left(x_2, y_2\right)=Q(-4,1), R\left(x_3, y_3\right)=R(4,1)$
By distance formula,
$ d(P, Q)=\sqrt{\left(x_2-x_1\right)^2+\left(y_2-y_1\right)^2}$
$=\sqrt{[(-4)-0]^2+(1-9)^2}$
$=\sqrt{(-4)^2+(-8)^2}$
$=\sqrt{16+64}$
$=\sqrt{80}$
$=4 \sqrt{5} $
And
$ d(P, R)=\sqrt{\left(x_3-x_1\right)^2+\left(y_3-y_1\right)^2}$
$=\sqrt{(4-0)^2+(1-9)^2}$
$=\sqrt{4^2+(-8)^2}$
$=\sqrt{16+64}$
$=\sqrt{80}$
$=4 \sqrt{5} $
And
$d(P, R)=\sqrt{\left(x_3-x_1\right)^2+\left(y_3-y_1\right)^2}$
$=\sqrt{(4-0)^2+(1-9)^2}$
$=\sqrt{4^2+(-8)^2}$
$=\sqrt{16+64}$
$=\sqrt{80}$
$=4 \sqrt{5}$
Here, $d(P, Q)=d(P, R)$
$\therefore$ The point $(0,9)$ is equidistant from $(-4,1)$ and $(4,1)$.

In the adjoining figure circles with centres X and Y touch each other at point Z. A secant passing through Z intersects the circles at points A and B respectively. Prove that, radius XA || radius YB. Fill in the blanks and complete the proof.

Construction: Draw segments $X Z$ and ..YZ.
Proof: By theorem of touching circles, points $X, Z, Y$ are ..concyclic. $\qquad$
$\therefore \angle XZA \cong$ $\qquad$ .vertically opposite angles
Let $\angle XZA =\angle BZY = a$. $\qquad$
Now, veg $X A \cong \operatorname{seg} X Z$ $\qquad$ (...radius of the same circle $\qquad$ ..)
$\therefore \angle XAZ =$ $\qquad$ $= a$ $\qquad$ (isosceles triangle theorem) (II)
similarly, peg $Y B \cong . Y Z$ $\qquad$ (.radius of the same circle. $\qquad$
$\therefore \angle BZY =$ $\qquad$ $= a$ $\qquad$ (.isosceles triangle theorem. $\qquad$ (III) $\therefore$ from (I), (II), (III),
$\angle XAZ =. \angle ZBY \ldots \ldots .$.
$\therefore$ radius $X A \|$ radius $Y B$ $\qquad$ . ..since alternate interior angles are equal. $\qquad$
