Answer» Solution :`""AB=sqrt((-2-2)^(2)+(-2-2)^(2))=4sqrt(2)` units `""BC=sqrt((-2+2sqrt(3))^(2)+(-2-2sqrt(3))^(2))` `""=sqrt (4+12-8sqrt(3)+4+12+8sqrt(3))=4sqrt(2) ` units `""CD=sqrt((-2sqrt3+4+2sqrt(3))^(2)+(2sqrt(3)-4-2sqrt(3))^(2))` ` "" =sqrt(16+16)=4sqrt(2)` units `""AC=sqrt((2+2sqrt(3))^(2)+(2- 2sqrt(3))^(2))` `""=sqrt(4+12+8sqrt(3)+4+12-8sqrt(3))=4sqrt(2)` units ` ""AD=sqrt((2+4+2sqrt(3))^(2)+(2-4-2sqrt(3))^(2))` `""=sqrt(36+12+24sqrt(3)+12+4+8sqrt(3))=sqrt(64+32sqrt(3))` units `""BD=sqrt((-2+4+2sqrt(3))^(2)+(-2-4-2sqrt3)^(2))` `""=sqrt(4+12+8sqrt(3)+36+12 +24sqrt(3))=sqrt(64+32sqrt( 3))` units Here, `AB =BC=CD=AC` and also, `AD=BD` So, in first view it SEEMS to be the vertices of a square. `""BUT""` Here, ` AB, BC, CD and DA` are not equal. (order of `A, B, C and D` must be cyclic in case of square). Also AD and BD are equal but they cannot be the DIAGONALS. So, they do not form a square. Actually, A, B and D lie on a circle with C as the CENTRE (as CA=CB=CD i.e., C is equidistant from A, B and D). |

[Note : The point which is common to all the three medians is called the centroid and this point divides each median in the ratio 2 : 1 ] (5)If A(x_(1), y_(1)), B(x_(2), y_(2)) and C(x_(3),y_(3)) are the vertices of Delta ABC find the coordinates of the centroid of the triangle |
Answer» (2) `((11)/(3),(11)/(3))` (3)`(5,(7)/(2))` (4) P = Q = R Centroid of a triangle DIVIDES each of its medians in the RATIO2 : 1 from the VERTEX side (5) `((x_(1) + x_(2) + x_(3))/(3) , (y_(1) + y_(2) + y_(3))/(3))` |
