EXERCISE 8
1. Prove that A(-3; 2), B(1; -6) and C(1; 2) are the vertices of a right-angled triangle
a. By showing that two of its sides are perpendicular
b. By using the lengths of the sides only
A(3; 4) B(1; 1) C(6; 2)
a. Determine the midpoint of AC. Call this point M
You are further told that ABCD is a parallelogram
b. Use the coordinates of midpoint M to find those of D
2. Given:
3. A median of a triangle is the line from a vertex of a triangle to the midpoint of the
opposite side. Every triangle has three medians.
Find the length of the median from P given that the triangle has vertices P(0; 1),
Q(4; 3) and R(2; 5) leaving your answer in surd form.
4. Show that the points A(0; 5 %), B(-1; 1), C(2; -2 ½) and C(3; 2) are the vertices
of a rhombus
a. By proving that all four sides are equal
b. By proving that the diagonals bisect each other at righ angles
5. Calculate the area of AABC with vertices A(5; 2), B(0; 0) ana C(4; –2)
6. If a point with coordinates (a; b) is equidistant from points (3; 1) and (2; –-2), prove
that a + 3b -1=0.
7. Refer to the diagram. P, Q, R and S are midpoints of the' sides of quadrilateral
АBCD
a. Find the coordinates of P, Q, R and S
b. Find the midpoints of PR and QS
c. What does that tell you about quadrilateral PQRS?
A(3; 2)
B(- 4; 5)
D(0; -3)
R
C(-7;-2)
Find the length of AB if A and B are the points of intersection of line
2x-3y +6 = 0 with the axes.
8.
A straight line cuts the axes at points (0; a) and (a; 0) and passes through the
point (3; -1). What is the equation of this line?
