# Activity – 1

Plot:

  • \(A(1,0)\)
  • \(D(4,0)\)

Find:

  • \(AD\)
  • \(DA\)

Distance between A and D

Since both points lie on x-axis:

\[
AD = |4-1|
\]

\[
AD = 3 \text{ units}
\]

Similarly:

\[
DA = |1-4|
\]

\[
DA = 3 \text{ units}
\]

Therefore:
\[
AD = DA
\]


Conclusion

Distance between two points remains the same irrespective of direction.

\[
\boxed{AD = DA}
\]

A(–7,–3), B(5,10), C(15,8), D(3,–5)

Similarly:

\[
AB=CD
\]

\[
BC=AD
\]

Q.3 Find length of median through A
✓ Solution

Vertices:

  • \(A(-1,3)\)
  • \(B(1,-1)\)
  • \(C(5,1)\)

Median from A goes to midpoint of BC.


Midpoint of BC

\[
M
=
\left(
\frac{1+5}{2},
\frac{-1+1}{2}
\right)
\]

\[
=(3,0)
\]


Length AM

Using distance formula:

::contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

\[
AM
=
\sqrt{(3+1)^2+(0-3)^2}
\]

\[
=
\sqrt{16+9}

\]

Length of median:
\[
\boxed{5}
\]


Q.4 Vertices are
✓ Solution

\[
(1,2),\ (h,-3),\ (-4,k)
\]

Centroid is:
\[
(5,-1)
\]

Find:
\[
\sqrt{(h+k)^2+(h+3k)^2}
\]


Using centroid formula:

\[
\frac{1+h-4}{3}=5
\]

\[
h-3=15
\]

\[
h=18
\]

Next:

\[
\frac{2-3+k}{3}=-1
\]

\[
k-1=-3
\]

\[
k=-2
\]

Now:

\[
(h+k)^2=(18-2)^2=16^2=256
\]

\[
(h+3k)^2=(18-6)^2=12^2=144
\]

\[

Q.5 Orthocentre and centroid are
✓ Solution

\[
A(-3,5)\quad \text{and}\quad B(3,3)
\]

If C is circumcentre and AC is diameter, find radius.

Centroid divides line joining orthocentre and circumcentre in ratio:
\[
2:1
\]

Thus:
\[
AB:BC=2:1
\]

Distance AB:

\[
AB
=
\sqrt{(3+3)^2+(3-5)^2}
\]

\[
=
\sqrt{36+4}
=
\sqrt{40}
=
2\sqrt{10}
\]

Hence:

\[
BC=\sqrt{10}
\]

Therefore:

\[
AC=AB+BC
=
3\sqrt{10}
\]

Radius:
\[
\frac{AC}{2}
=
\frac{3\sqrt{10}}{2}
\]

Radius:
\[
\boxed{\frac{3\sqrt{10}}{2}}
\]
