Find the distance between the points

P(a sin ∝,a cos ∝ )and Q( acos ∝ ,- asin ∝)

 

उत्तर

P( a sin ∝,a cos ∝ ) and Q(a cos a ,- a sin ∝)
The given points are P( a sin ∝,a cos ∝ ) and Q(a cos a ,- a sin ∝)
`Then (x_1 = a sin  , y_1 = a cos  ∝ ) and (x_2 = a cos a , y_2 = - a sin  ∝ )`

`PQ = sqrt( (x_2 -x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2)`

`= sqrt(( a cos  ∝  - a sin  ∝  )^2 + ( -a sin  ∝ - a cos  ∝  )^2)`

`=sqrt((a^2 cos^2  ∝  + a^2 sin^2  ∝  - 2a^2 cos  ∝ xx sin  ∝ )+(a^2 sin^2  ∝  + a^2 cos^2  ∝ +2a^2 cos  ∝ xx sin  ∝ ))`

`= sqrt(2a^2 cos^2  ∝  +2a^2 sin^2  ∝ )`

`= sqrt(2a^2 (cos^2  ∝ + sin^2  ∝ ))`

`= sqrt( 2a^2 (1))                 ("From the identity" cos^2 ∝  + sin^2 ∝=1 )`

`=sqrt(2a^2)`

`= sqrt(2a)`   units

Case Study

Trigonometry in the form of triangulation forms the basis of navigation, whether it is by land, sea or air. GPS a radio navigation system helps to locate our position on earth with the help of satellites.
A guard, stationed at the top of a 240 m tower, observed an unidentified boat coming towards it. A clinometer or inclinometer is an instrument used for measuring angles or slopes(tilt). The guard used the clinometer to measure the angle of depression of the boat coming towards the lighthouse and found it to be 30°.

  1. Make a labelled figure on the basis of the given information and calculate the distance of the boat from the foot of the observation tower.
  2. After 10 minutes, the guard observed that the boat was approaching the tower and its distance from tower is reduced by 240(`sqrt(3)` - 1) m. He immediately raised the alarm. What was the new angle of depression of the boat from the top of the observation tower?

In a GPS, The lines that run east-west are known as lines of latitude, and the lines running north-south are known as lines of longitude. The latitude and the longitude of a place are its coordinates and the distance formula is used to find the distance between two places. The distance between two parallel lines is approximately 150 km. A family from Uttar Pradesh planned a round trip from Lucknow (L) to Puri (P) via Bhuj (B) and Nashik (N) as shown in the given figure below.

Based on the above information answer the following questions using the coordinate geometry.

  1. Find the distance between Lucknow (L) to Bhuj (B).
  2. If Kota (K), internally divide the line segment joining Lucknow (L) to Bhuj (B) into 3 : 2 then find the coordinate of Kota (K).
  3. Name the type of triangle formed by the places Lucknow (L), Nashik (N) and Puri (P)
    [OR]
    Find a place (point) on the longitude (y-axis) which is equidistant from the points Lucknow (L) and Puri (P).
