Verify the following: (5, -1, 1), (7, -4, 7), (1, -6, 10) and (-1, -3, 4) are the vertices of a rhombus

Answer»

Given: Points are A(5, -1, 1), B(7, -4, 7), C(1, -6, 10) and D(-1, -3, 4) 

To prove: the quadrilateral formed by these 4 points is a rhombus All sides of both square and rhombus are equal But diagonals of a rhombus are not equal whereas they are equal for square 

Formula used: The distance between any two points (a, b, c) and (m, n, o) is given by,

    \(\sqrt{(a−m)^2+(b−n)^2+(c−o)^2}\)

Therefore, 

Distance between A(5, -1, 1) and B(7, -4, 7) is AB

\(\sqrt{(5-7)^2+(-1-(-4))^2+(1-7)^2}\) 

\(\sqrt{(-2)^2+3^2+(-6)^2}\) 

\(\sqrt{4+9+36}\) 

\(\sqrt{49}\) 

= 7

Distance between B(7, -4, 7) and C(1, -6, 10) is BC

\(\sqrt{(7-1)^2+(-4-(-6))^2+(7-10)^2}\) 

\(\sqrt{6^2+2^2+(-3)^2}\) 

\(\sqrt{36+4+9}\) 

\(\sqrt{49}\)  

= 7

Distance between C(1, -6, 10) and D(-1, -3, 4) is CD,

\(\sqrt{(1-(-1))^2+(-6-(-3))^2+(10-4)^2}\) 

\(\sqrt{2^2+(-3)^2+6^2}\) 

\(\sqrt{4+9+36}\) 

\(\sqrt{49}\) 

= 7

Distance between A(5, -1, 1) and D(-1, -3, 4) is AD,

\(\sqrt{(5-(-2))^2+(1-(3))^2+(1-4)^2}\) 

\(\sqrt{6^2+2^2+(-3)^2}\) 

\(\sqrt{36+4+9}\) 

\(\sqrt{49}\)  

= 7

Clearly, 

AB = BC = CD = AD 

All sides are equal 

Now, we will find length of diagonals 

Distance between A(5, -1, 1) and C(1, -6, 10) is AC,

\(\sqrt{(5-1)^2+(-1-(-6))^2+(1-10)^2}\) 

\(\sqrt{6^2+5^2+(-9)^2}\) 

\(\sqrt{36+25+81}\) 

\(\sqrt{142}\) 

Distance between B(7, -4, 7) and D(-1, -3, 4) is BD,

\(\sqrt{(7-(-1))^2+(-4-(-3))^2+(7-4)^2}\) 

\(\sqrt{8^2+(-1)^2+3^2}\) 

\(\sqrt{64+1+9}\) 

\(\sqrt{74}\) 

Clearly, 

AC ≠ BD 

The diagonals are not equal, but all sides are equal 

Thus, Quadrilateral formed by ABCD is a rhombus 

Hence Proved

A parabolic reflector is 5 cm deep and its diameter is 20 cm. How far is its focus from the vertex?

Answer»

Reflector depth = OD = 5 cm

Diameter of the mirror = BC = 20 cm

Consider the equation of the parabola is y2 = 4ax

To find : Length of a, which is distance of the focus from the vertex.

Since parabolic reflector is 5 cm deep, which shows x-coordinate of the points B and C is 5.

Again, BD = CD = 10 cm

[D is the middle point of BC]

Therefore, coordinate of B is (5, 10)

Point B lies on the parabolic reflector, which means it satisfy the equation y2 = 4ax

100 = 20a

or a = 5

Find the equation of a plane which bisects perpendicularly the line joining the points A (2, 3, 4) and B (4, 5, 8) at right angles.

Answer»

Given coordinates are A (2, 3, 4) and B (4, 5, 8)

Now, the coordinates of the mid-point C are (2+4/2, 3+5/2, 4+8/2) = (3, 4, 6)

And, the direction ratios of the normal to the plane = direction ratios of AB

= 4 – 2, 5 – 3, 8 – 4 = (2, 2, 4)

Equation of the plane is

a(x – x1) + b(y – y1) + c(z – z1) = 0

2(x – 3) + 2(y – 4) + 4(z – 6) = 0

2x – 6 + 2y – 8 + 4z – 24 = 0

2x + 2y + 4z = 38

x + y + 2z = 19

Thus, the required equation of plane is x + y + 2z = 19.

List changes in the body that take place at puberty

Answer»

Changes at puberty: 

 Sudden increase in height. 

 Broadening of shoulders and widening of chest in boys. In girls, the region below waist becomes wider. 

 At puberty, the voice box or the larynx begins to grow. Boys develop larger voice boxes. The growing voice box in boys can be seen as a protruding part of the throat called Adam’s apple. In girls, the larynx is hardly visible from the outside because of its small size. Generally, girls have a high pitched voice, whereas boys have a deep voice. 

 In girls, breasts begin to develop at puberty and boys begin to grow facial hair, that is, moustaches and beard. Boys also develop hair on their chest. In both, boys and girls, hair grows under the arms and in the region above the thighs or the pubic region. 

 Appearance of acne as a because of the increased activity of sweat glands and sebaceous glands in the skin. 

 Testis grows and starts producing sperms in males, whereas in females, the ovary enlarges and starts producing matured eggs.

Find the equation of the plane that passes through X-axis and point (3,2, 4).

Answer»

Equation of plane passing through (3, 2, 4) 

a (x – 3) + b(y – 2) + c(z – 4) = 0 …..(1) 

∵ Plane passes through X-axis 

∴ a = 0,d = 0 ⇒ by + cz = 0 …..(2) 

From (1), a = 0 so b (y – 2) + c(z – 4) = 0 …..(3) 

⇒ by – 2b + cz – 4c = 0 

⇒ by + cz – 2b – 4c = 0 

⇒ – 2b = c [∵ by + cz = 0 from (2)] 

⇒ b = -2c 

∴ Equation of plane passing through (3,2,4) and X-axis b(y- 2) + c(z – 4) = 0 

⇒ – 2c(y – 2) + c(z – 4) = 0 

⇒ -2y + 4 + z – 4 = 0 

⇒ 2y – z = 0

If the line drawn from the point (–2, – 1, – 3) meets a plane at right angle at the point (1, – 3, 3), find the equation of the plane.

Answer»

Given, points (–2, – 1, – 3) and (1, – 3, 3)

Direction ratios of the normal to the plane are (1 + 2, -3 + 1, 3 + 3) = (3, -2, 6)

Now, the equation of plane passing through one point (x1, y1, z1) is

a(x – x1) + b(y – y1) + c(z – z1) = 0

3(x – 1) – 2(y + 3) + 6(z – 3) = 0

3x – 3 – 2y – 6 + 6z – 18 = 0

3x – 2y + 6z – 27 = 0 ⇒ 3x – 2y + 6z = 27

Thus, the required equation of plane is 3x – 2y + 6z = 27.

Find the equation of the plane which is perpendicular to x-axis and that passes through the point (2,-1,3).

Answer»

Equation of plane passing through point (2,-1,3) a(x – 2) + b(y + 1) + c(z – 3) = 0 

∵ Plane is perpendicular to T-axis. 

∴ b = 0, c = 0 

Hence required equation of plane a(x – 2) + 0(y + 1) + 0(z – 3) = 0 

⇒ a(x – 2) = 0 

⇒ x – 2 = 0 (∵a ≠ 0)

 Find the equation of the plane through the points (2, 1, 0), (3, –2, –2) and (3, 1, 7).

Answer»

Given points are (2, 1, 0), (3, –2, –2) and (3, 1, 7)

As the equation of the plane passing through the points (x1, y1, z1), (x2, y2, z2) and (x3, y3, z3) is

(x – 2) (-21) – (y – 1)(7 + 2) + z (3) = 0

-21 (x – 2) – 9(y – 1) + 3z = 0

-21x + 42 – 9y + 9 + 3z = 0

-21x – 9y + 3z + 51 = 0 ⇒ 7x + 3y – z – 17 = 0

Thus, the required equation of plane is 7x + 3y – z – 17 = 0.

In human females, each time during maturation and release of egg the inner wall of uterus thickens. Is this thickening permanent? Give reasons.

Answer»

No, this thickening of the uterine wall is not permanent. 

If the egg gets fertilised, it starts developing and gets embedded in the uterine wall resulting in pregnancy. During pregnancy no more eggs are released and the thickened lining is discharged only when the baby is born. However, if fertilisation does not occur, the released egg and the thickened lining are shed off resulting in menstruation.

Our government has legalised the age for marriage in boys and girls. Give reasons as to why one should get married after a certain age.

Answer»

In our country, the legal age for marriage is 18 years for girls and 21 years for boys. This is because teenage mothers are not prepared mentally or physically for motherhood. Early marriage and motherhood causes health problems in both mother and the child. It also curtails employment opportunities for the young woman and may cause mental agony as she is not ready to shoulder responsibilities of motherhood. 

Also, the boys before that age may not be mentally matured and financially secure enough to take on the responsibilities of a family.

What are sex hormones? Why are they named so? State their function.

Answer»

Sex hormones are the hormones that control the development of secondary sexual characteristics and also regulate the proper functioning of the sex organs. They are named so because they are produced in both males and females by the respective sex organs under the influence of the pituitary gland. Functions of sex hormones: 

→ Testosterone: This hormone secreted by the testes brings about secondary sex characters in boys such as the growth of a beard, the voice becoming hoarse, development of reproductive organs, etc. 

→ Oestrogen: This hormone secreted by the ovaries is responsible for the development of secondary sexual characters in females such as the enlargement of breasts, development of female reproductive organs, etc.

The changes which occur at adolescence are controlled by hormones. Hormones chemical substances.These are secretions from endocrine glands or endocrine system. The male hormone or testosterone begins to be released by the testes at the onset of puberty. For example, the growth of facial hair. Once puberty is reached in girls, ovaries begin to produce the female hormone or estrogen which makes the breasts develop. Milk secreting glands or mammary glands develop inside the breasts. The production of thes​​​​​​​e hormones is under the control of another hormones secreted from an endocrine gland called pituitary gland.
