Then, coordinates of points, P, Q and R are (15, 3), (12, 2)and (9, 6) respectively.


Q5: What are the coordinates of P if D is taken as the origin?
(a) (−15, 5)
(b) (15, 5)
(c) (15, 7)
(d) (15, 3)
Ans: 
(a)
Explanation: When D is taken as origin, we will take DA as negative X-axis and DC as positive Y-axis.  
Then coordinates of point P is (−15, 5).

Study Case - 3

SLV-3 was successfully launched on July 18, 1980 from Sriharikota Range (SHAR), when Rohini Satellite, RS-1, was placed in orbit, thereby making India the sixth member of an exclusive club of space-faring nations.
SLV-3 employed an open loop guidance (with stored pitch programme) to steer the vehicle in flight along a predetermined trajectory. The successful culmination of the SLV-3 project showed the way to advanced launch vehicle projects such as the Augmented Satellite Launch Vehicle (ASLV), Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) and
Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) Students of Class-Xth made a mathematical model of a rocket as shown in the figure below:

Based on the above information give the answer of the following questions:

Q1: The coordinates of the point A are:
(a) (4,9)
(b) (5,9)
(c) (92,9)
(d) (4,8)
Ans:
(c)
Explanation: As the distance of point A is 9/2 units from the Y-axis and 9 units from the X-axis, its coordinates are
x = 9/2, y = 9 or (9/2, 9)


Q2: The type of triangle ABC is:
(a) equilateral triangle
(b) isosceles triangle
(c) scalene triangle
(d) right triangle
Ans:
(b)
Explanation:
Class 10 Maths Chapter 7 Case Based Questions - Coordinate Geometry
As, two sides AB and AC are equal, it is an isosceles triangle.
Moreover, BC2 ≠ AB2 + AC2
∴ ABC is not a right triangle.

Q3: The area of triangle RBP is:
(a) 2 sq. units
(b) 4 sq. units
(c) 3/2sq. units
(d) 5 sq. units
Ans:
(a)
