Question 44 Marks
$A(8,2)$ and $B(6,4)$ are the vertices of a figure which is symmetrical about $x = 6$ and $y = 2.$ Complete the figure and give the geometrical name of the figure. 
Answer


Steps of construction:
$(i)$ Plot the point $A$ and $B$ on the graph.
$(ii)$ Plot point $P$ whose vertices are $x=6$ and $y=2$. Pis the point of symmetry.
$(iii)$ Point symmetric to $A(8,2)$ in the line $x=6$ is $C(4,2)$
$(iv)$ Point symmetric to $B(6,4)$ in the line $y=2$ is $D(6,0)$
$(v)$ Join $\ce{AP, PC, BP}$ and $\ce{PD.}$
Since $\text{BD}=4$,
$AD =\sqrt{(8-6)^2+(2-0)^2}=\sqrt{2^2+2^2}=\sqrt{4+4}=\sqrt{8}$
$AB =\sqrt{(8-6)^2+(2-4)^2}=\sqrt{2^2+(-2)^2}=\sqrt{4+4}=\sqrt{8}$
$\therefore \ce{BD^2= AD^2+ AB ^2}$
$4^2=(\sqrt{8})^2+(\sqrt{8})^2$
$16=8+8$
$16=16$
$\therefore \ce{\angle BAD}=90^{\circ}$
Clearly $\ce{AB=BC=CD=DA, \angle BAD}=90^{\circ}$ and $\text{AC}$ and $\text{BD}$ bisect each other at right angles $1$ therefore $\text{ABCD}$ is a square.
