AB2= (-5 - 0)2 + (-3 - 0)2 = 25 + 9 = 34
BC2 = (3 + 5)2 + (1-3)2 = 82 + (-2)2 = 64 + 4 = 68
AC2 = (3 - 0)2 + (1 - 6)2 = 9 + 25 = 34.
AB = AC. ==> ΔABC is isosceles.
BC2 = (3 + 5)2 + (1-3)2 = 82 + (-2)2 = 64 + 4 = 68
AC2 = (3 - 0)2 + (1 - 6)2 = 9 + 25 = 34.
AB = AC. ==> ΔABC is isosceles.

Aarav Sharma answered |
Explanation:
To determine the position of point Q(8, 6) with respect to the circle, we need to compare the distance between the center of the circle (origin) and point Q with the radius of the circle.
Step 1: Calculate the distance between the center of the circle (origin) and point Q using the distance formula:
Distance = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
Distance = √((8 - 0)^2 + (6 - 0)^2)
= √(8^2 + 6^2)
= √(64 + 36)
= √100
= 10
Step 2: Compare the distance between the center and point Q with the radius of the circle. Since the center is at the origin, the radius of the circle is the distance between the origin and point P(5, 0).
Radius = √((5 - 0)^2 + (0 - 0)^2)
= √(5^2 + 0^2)
= √25
= 5
Step 3: Compare the distance with the radius:
- If the distance is greater than the radius, point Q lies outside the circle.
- If the distance is equal to the radius, point Q lies on the circle.
- If the distance is less than the radius, point Q lies inside the circle.
In this case, the distance between the center and point Q is 10, which is greater than the radius of the circle (5). Therefore, point Q lies outside the circle.
Conclusion: The point Q(8, 6) lies outside the circle. Therefore, the correct answer is option A) outside.
To determine the position of point Q(8, 6) with respect to the circle, we need to compare the distance between the center of the circle (origin) and point Q with the radius of the circle.
Step 1: Calculate the distance between the center of the circle (origin) and point Q using the distance formula:
Distance = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
Distance = √((8 - 0)^2 + (6 - 0)^2)
= √(8^2 + 6^2)
= √(64 + 36)
= √100
= 10
Step 2: Compare the distance between the center and point Q with the radius of the circle. Since the center is at the origin, the radius of the circle is the distance between the origin and point P(5, 0).
Radius = √((5 - 0)^2 + (0 - 0)^2)
= √(5^2 + 0^2)
= √25
= 5
Step 3: Compare the distance with the radius:
- If the distance is greater than the radius, point Q lies outside the circle.
- If the distance is equal to the radius, point Q lies on the circle.
- If the distance is less than the radius, point Q lies inside the circle.
In this case, the distance between the center and point Q is 10, which is greater than the radius of the circle (5). Therefore, point Q lies outside the circle.
Conclusion: The point Q(8, 6) lies outside the circle. Therefore, the correct answer is option A) outside.

Explanation:
In mathematics, the coordinates of a point in a two-dimensional plane are represented by two numbers called the abscissa (x-coordinate) and the ordinate (y-coordinate). The abscissa represents the horizontal position of the point, while the ordinate represents the vertical position.
Given that the coordinates of the point are (5, 11), we can determine the abscissa by looking at the first number in the pair, which is 5.
So, the abscissa of the point is 5.
Key Points:
- The abscissa of a point represents its horizontal position in the coordinate plane.
- The abscissa is determined by the first number in the pair of coordinates.
- In this case, the abscissa of the point with coordinates (5, 11) is 5.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C) 5.

Let the other end be B (x,y)
Since centre is the mid-point of diameter of the circle.
Since centre is the mid-point of diameter of the circle.

Explanation:
To find the distance of a point from the y-axis, we need to measure the perpendicular distance from the point to the y-axis.
Given: Point (5, 12)
Steps to find the distance:
Step 1: Identify the coordinates of the point.
The given point is (5, 12), where 5 represents the x-coordinate and 12 represents the y-coordinate.
Step 2: Draw a line perpendicular to the y-axis passing through the point.
We draw a line from the point (5, 12) perpendicular to the y-axis. Let's call the point where the line intersects the y-axis as P.
Step 3: Measure the distance between the point and the y-axis.
The distance between the point (5, 12) and the y-axis is the length of the line segment formed by the point and point P on the y-axis.
Step 4: Calculate the distance using the Pythagorean theorem.
The distance can be calculated using the Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
In this case, the distance is the length of the line segment, which is the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle. The other two sides are the x-coordinate (5) and the y-coordinate (12).
Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can calculate the distance as follows:
Distance = √((5)^2 + (12)^2)
= √(25 + 144)
= √169
= 13
Therefore, the distance of the point (5, 12) from the y-axis is 13 units.
Since none of the given options match the correct answer, it seems there is an error in the options provided. The correct answer should be option 'D' (13 units) instead of option 'A' (5 units).

Definition of Abscissa:
The abscissa of a point is the distance of the point from the y-axis. It is the x-coordinate of the point in a Cartesian coordinate system. The y-axis is the vertical line on the coordinate plane, and the x-coordinate represents the horizontal distance of a point from this line.
Explanation:
In a Cartesian coordinate system, points are represented by their coordinates (x, y). The x-coordinate represents the horizontal distance of a point from the y-axis, while the y-coordinate represents the vertical distance of a point from the x-axis.
Example:
Consider a point P with coordinates (3, 4). The abscissa of this point is 3, which means it is located 3 units away from the y-axis. The ordinate of this point is 4, indicating it is located 4 units away from the x-axis.
The Y-Axis:
The y-axis is the vertical line on the coordinate plane. It is perpendicular to the x-axis and intersects it at the origin, which is the point (0, 0). The y-axis is used to represent the vertical component of a point's position.
Importance of Abscissa:
The abscissa is essential in determining the position of a point in a coordinate system. It provides information about the horizontal distance of a point from the y-axis. By knowing both the abscissa and ordinate of a point, we can precisely locate it on the coordinate plane.
Summary:
The distance of a point from the y-axis is called the abscissa. It is the x-coordinate of the point in a Cartesian coordinate system. The abscissa is crucial in determining the horizontal position of a point and plays a significant role in locating points on the coordinate plane.

To find the coordinates of the midpoint of a line segment, we use the midpoint formula. The formula for finding the midpoint of a line segment with endpoints (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is:
Midpoint = ((x₁ + x₂) / 2, (y₁ + y₂) / 2)
In this case, we are given the coordinates of two points: (3p, 4) and (2, 4). Let's use the midpoint formula to find the coordinates of the midpoint.
- Finding the x-coordinate of the midpoint:
The x-coordinate of the midpoint is given by ((x₁ + x₂) / 2). Plugging in the coordinates, we have:
((3p + 2) / 2) = 5
Simplifying the equation, we get:
3p + 2 = 10
3p = 8
p = 8/3
- Finding the y-coordinate of the midpoint:
The y-coordinate of the midpoint is given by ((y₁ + y₂) / 2). Plugging in the coordinates, we have:
(4 + 4) / 2 = 8 / 2 = 4
So, the y-coordinate of the midpoint is 4.
Therefore, the coordinates of the midpoint are (5, 4p/3).
Since we are given that the y-coordinate of the midpoint is p, we can equate it to 4p/3:
4p/3 = p
Multiplying both sides of the equation by 3, we get:
4p = 3p
p = 0
However, this contradicts with the given information that p is a non-zero value. Therefore, the only possible value for p is 0. Hence, the correct answer is option 'D' (p = 0).
Midpoint = ((x₁ + x₂) / 2, (y₁ + y₂) / 2)

The x-coordinate of the midpoint is given by ((x₁ + x₂) / 2). Plugging in the coordinates, we have:

p = 8/3

Therefore, the coordinates of the midpoint are (5, 4p/3).

4p/3 = p
Multiplying both sides of the equation by 3, we get:

Aarav Sharma answered |
√(x-a)2+(y-0)2 = a + x
= (x-a)2+y2
= (a+x)2 => y2 = (x-a)2-(x-a)2-4ax => y2 = 4ax
= (x-a)2+y2
= (a+x)2 => y2 = (x-a)2-(x-a)2-4ax => y2 = 4ax

Rajeev Kumar answered |
Here, x1 = 2, x2 = 4, x3 = 6 and y1 = -5, y2 = 9, y3 = -1
= 1/2 [2(9+1) + 4(-1+5) + 6(-5-9)]
= 1/2 [2(10) + 4(4) + 6(-14)]
= 1/2 [20 + 16 - 84]
= 1/2 [-48]
= 24 sq.units
= 1/2 [2(9+1) + 4(-1+5) + 6(-5-9)]
= 1/2 [2(10) + 4(4) + 6(-14)]
= 1/2 [20 + 16 - 84]

Rajeev Rane answered |
Explanation:
Let the coordinates of the other end be B(x2,y2).
One end of the diameter is A (2, 3) and the centre is O(−2,5).
Since the centre is midpoint of the diameter of the circle.
Since the centre is midpoint of the diameter of the circle.
Therefore, the coordinates of other end of the diameter are (−6,7).
