If the point P(x, 3) is equidistant from the point A(7, −1) and B(6, 8), then find the value of x and find the distance AP.
उत्तर
It is given that P(x, 3) is equidistant from the point A(7, −1) and B(6, 8).
∴ AP = BP
\[\Rightarrow \sqrt{\left( x - 7 \right)^2 + \left[ 3 - \left( - 1 \right) \right]^2} = \sqrt{\left( x - 6 \right)^2 + \left( 8 - 3 \right)^2}\] (Distance formula)
Squaring on both sides, we get
\[\left( x - 7 \right)^2 + 16 = \left( x - 6 \right)^2 + 25\]
\[ \Rightarrow x^2 - 14x + 49 + 16 = x^2 - 12x + 36 + 25\]
\[ \Rightarrow - 14x + 12x = 61 - 65\]
\[ \Rightarrow - 2x = - 4\]
\[ \Rightarrow x = 2\]
Thus, the value of x is 2.
\[\therefore AP = \sqrt{\left( 2 - 7 \right)^2 + \left[ 3 - \left( - 1 \right) \right]^2} = \sqrt{\left( - 5 \right)^2 + 4^2} = \sqrt{25 + 16} = \sqrt{41}\] units

(Street Plan): A city has two main roads which cross each other at the centre of the city. These two roads are along the North-South direction and East-West direction.
All the other streets of the city run parallel to these roads and are 200 m apart. There are 5 streets in each direction. Using 1cm = 200 m, draw a model of the city on your notebook. Represent the roads/streets by single lines.
There are many cross- streets in your model. A particular cross-street is made by two streets, one running in the North - South direction and another in the East - West direction. Each cross street is referred to in the following manner : If the 2nd street running in the North - South direction and 5th in the East - West direction meet at some crossing, then we will call this cross-street (2, 5). Using this convention, find:
- how many cross - streets can be referred to as (4, 3).
- how many cross - streets can be referred to as (3, 4).
