Question
Find the co-ordinates of points on the x-axis which are at a distance of 17 units from the point (11, -8).
Solution
Let the coordinates of the point on x-axis be (x, 0).
From the given information, we have:
`sqrt((x -11)^2 + (0 + 8)^2)` = 17
(x - 11)2 + (0 + 8)2 = 289
x2 + 121 - 22x + 64 = 289
x2 - 22x - 104 = 0
x2 - 26x + 4x - 104 = 0
x(x - 26) + 4(x - 26) = 0
(x - 26)(x + 4) = 0
x = 26, -4
Thus, the required co-ordinates of the points on x-axis are (26, 0) and (-4, 0).

Find distance between point A(–1, 1) and point B(5, –7):
Solution: Suppose A(x1, y1) and B(x2, y2)
x1 = –1, y1 = 1 and x2 = 5, y2 = – 7
Using distance formula,
d(A, B) = `sqrt((x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2`
∴ d(A, B) = `sqrt(square +[(-7) + square]^2`
∴ d(A, B) = `sqrt(square)`
∴ d(A, B) = `square`

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.
