Find distance between point O(0, 0) and B (-5 , 12).
Answer
Let $O\left(x_1, y_1\right)=O(0,0)$ and $B\left(x_2, y_2\right)=B(-5,12)$

$\therefore \mathrm{x}_1=0, \mathrm{y}_1=0, \mathrm{x}_2=-5, \mathrm{y}_2=12$

By distance formula,

$d(O, B)=\sqrt{\left(x_2-x_1\right)^2+\left(y_2-y_1\right)^2}$

Answer

SOLUTION : 1
It is given that two circle having radii $3.5 \mathrm{~cm}$ and $4.8 \mathrm{~cm}$ touch each other internally.
We know, the distance between the centres of the circles touching internally is equal to the difference of their radii.
$\therefore$ Distance between the centres of the two circles $=4.8 \mathrm{~cm}-3.5 \mathrm{~cm}=1.3 \mathrm{~cm}$
Thus, the distance between their centres is $1.3 \mathrm{~cm}$.

Find distance between point A (7, 5) and B (2, 5).
Answer
Let $A\left(x_1, y_1\right)=A(7,5)$ and $B\left(x_2, y_2\right)=B(2,5)$

$\therefore$ By distance formula,

$d(A, B)=\sqrt{\left(x_2-x_1\right)^2+\left(y_2-y_1\right)^2}$

$=\sqrt{(2-7)^2+(5-5)^2}$

$=\sqrt{(-5)^2+0^2}$

$=\sqrt{25}$

$=5 \mathrm{~cm}$

$\therefore$ The distance between points $A$ and $B$ is $5 \mathrm{~cm}$.

Question 541 Mark
From given figure, In ∆ ABC, AB⊥ BC, AB =BC then $m \angle A =$ ?

Image

Answer
$A B=B C \quad \ldots . . .[\text { Given }]$

$\therefore \angle A=\angle C \quad \ldots . . .[\text { Isosceles triangle theorem }]$

$\text { Let } \angle A=\angle C=x$

$\text { In } \triangle A B C$

$\angle A+\angle B+\angle C=180^{\circ}\ldots\left[\text { Sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is } 180^{\circ}\right]$

$\therefore x+90^{\circ}+x=180^{\circ}$

$\therefore 2 x=90^{\circ}$

$\therefore x=\frac{90^{\circ}}{2}$

$\therefore x=45^{\circ}$

$\therefore m \angle A=45^{\circ}$

$\therefore x=4 \times \frac{3}{2}$

$\therefore x=2 \times 3$

$\therefore x=6$

Question 641 Mark
Find coordinates of midpoint of point (0, 2) and (12, 14).
Answer
Let $A\left(x_1, y_1\right)=A(0,2), B\left(x_2, y_2\right)=B(12,14)$

Let the co-ordinates of the midpoint be $P(x, y)$.

$\therefore$ By midpoint formula,

$\mathrm{x}=\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}=\frac{0+12}{2}=6$

$\mathrm{y}=\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}=\frac{2+14}{2}=\frac{16}{2}=8$

$\therefore$ The co-ordinates of the midpoint of the segment joining $(0,2)$ and $(12$, 14) are $(6,8)$.

Question 651 Mark
In the figure, if $\angle ABC = 35^\circ$ then find $m(??? AXC ) ?$
Image
Answer
In the figure, arc $A X C$ is intercepted by $\angle A B C$.
$\therefore \angle ABC =\frac{1}{2} m ($ ar $AXC )$
...[[The measure of an inscribed angle is half of the measure of the arc intercepted by it]
$ \therefore m(\operatorname{arc} A X C)=2 \angle A B C$
$\therefore m(\operatorname{arc} A X C)=2 \times 35^{\circ}$
$\therefore m(\operatorname{arc} A X C)=70^{\circ} $
