Show that the points (2, 0), (– 2, 0) and (0, 2) are vertices of a triangle. State the type of triangle with reason
उत्तर
Let the points be P(2, 0), Q(– 2, 0) and R(0, 2)
Distance between two points = `sqrt((x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2`
By distance formula,
d(P, Q) = `sqrt([(-2) - 2]^2 + (0 - 0)^2`
= `sqrt((-4)^2 + (0)^2`
= `sqrt(16 + 0)`
= 4 .....(i)
d(Q, R) = `sqrt([0 - (-2)]^2 + (2 - 0)^2`
= `sqrt((2)^2 + (2)^2`
= `sqrt(4 + 4)`
= `sqrt(8)` ......(ii)
d (P, R) = `sqrt((0 -2)^2 + (2 - 0)^2`
= `sqrt((- 2)^2 + (2)^2`
= `sqrt(4 + 4)`
= `sqrt(8)` ......(iii)
On adding (ii) and (iii),
d(P, Q) + d(Q, R) = `4 + sqrt(8)`
`4 + sqrt(8) > sqrt(8)`
∴ d(P, Q) + d(Q, R) > d(P, R)
∴ Points P, Q, R are non colinear points.
We can construct a triangle through 3 non collinear points.
∴ The segment joining the given points form a triangle.
Since P(Q, R) = P(P, R)
∴ ∆PQR is an isosceles triangle.
∴ The segment joining the points (2, 0), (– 2, 0) and (0, 2) will form an isosceles triangle.

Using distance formula,
d(A, B) = `sqrt((x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2`

A hockey field is the playing surface for the game of hockey. Historically, the game was played on natural turf (grass) but nowadays it is predominantly played on an artificial turf.
It is rectangular in shape - 100 yards by 60 yards. Goals consist of two upright posts placed equidistant from the centre of the backline, joined at the top by a horizontal crossbar. The inner edges of the posts must be 3.66 metres (4 yards) apart, and the lower edge of the crossbar must be 2.14 metres (7 feet) above the ground.
Each team plays with 11 players on the field during the game including the goalie. Positions you might play include -
- Forward: As shown by players A, B, C and D.
- Midfielders: As shown by players E, F and G.
- Fullbacks: As shown by players H, I and J.
- Goalie: As shown by player K.
Using the picture of a hockey field below, answer the questions that follow:

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.
