EXERCISE 6
1. VW and EF are the diagonals of a square, with points E(-10;-5); F(4;15) and W(7;-2).
a) Determine the:
i) length of EF
ii) coordinates of M, the midpoint of EF iii) coordinates of V
b) Determine the area of VEWF, by using the:
i) sides
ii) diagonals​



Answer :

a) i) length of EF = 24.413

       ii) coordinates of midpoint = (-3 , 5)

       iii) coordinates of V(-13 , 12)

b) i) area if sides is given  = 298

       ii) area if diagonals is given = 298

From the below graph we will solve the problems

a) i)The formula to find the distance between the two points is given by

                        d = √[(x2 – x1)2 + (y2 – y1)2]           (1)

   where (x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the coordinates

   given that the coordinates are E(-10 , -5) and F(4 , 15)

  putting the value in equation (1), we get

                    EF = √[(4 +10)2 + (15 + 5)2]

                          = √[(14)2 + (20)2]

                          = √(196 + 400)

                          = √596

                        EF   = 24.413

ii) The formula for the midpoint is given by

                      (xm , ym) = [(x1 + x2)/2  , (y1 + y2)/2]           (2)

         Where  (xm , ym) are the coordinates of the mid point.

given that the coordinates are E(-10 , -5) and F(4 , 15)

  putting the value in equation (2), we get

                               (xm , ym) = {[(-10) + 4]/2 , [(-5) + 15]}

                               (xm , ym)  = ( -6/2 ,  10/2)

                               (xm , ym)  = (-3 , 5)

iii) We have been given the coordinate of W(7 , -2) which is (x1 , y1)

      and the coordinate of the midpoint which is (-3 , 5) which is (xm , ym)

     to find the coordinate of V we will put the values in equation (2), we get

                                (-3 , 5) = [(7 + x2)/2 , (-2 + y2)/2]

     Which is ,   -3 = (7 +x2)/2                                    5 = (-2 + y2)/2

                          -3 * 2 = 7 + x2                                  5*2 = -2 + y2

                         -6 – 7 = x2                                            10 + 2 = y2

                           -13 = x2                                                12 = y2

Therefore the coordinates of V(-13 , 12)

b) i) As the sides of a square are all same , area of square is the side length squared.

   Applying the formula as equation (1), we get the length of EV

                  EV = √[(-13 +10)2 + (12 + 5)2]

                          = √[(-3)2 + (17)2]

                          = √(9 + 289)

                          = √298

                          = 17.26

Hence the area of the square is = (side)2

                                                         =(17.26)2

                                                          = 298

ii) The formula of area of square is given by = d2/2          (3)

     where d = length of the diagonal of square.

As EF is the diagonal of the square, therefore,

    d = EF = 24.143

Putting this value in equation (3), we get

Area = (24.143)2/2

         = 596/2

  Area = 298
