Chapter 11 Coordinate Geometry of 7. AB = (8  1) units = 7 units

Straight Lines BC = (5  8)2  [2  (2)]2 units
= (3) 2  4 2 units
Lesson Worksheet 11A Solutions
= 5 units
Instant Drill 1 AC = (5  1)2  [2  (2)]2 units
(a) PQ = (8  2) 2  (1  9) 2 units = 42  42 units
= 6 2  (8) 2 units = 32 units
∴ Perimeter of △ABC
= 10 units
= AB + BC + AC
(b) PQ = [3  (5)]2  [5  (2)]2 units
= (7 + 5 + 32 ) units
= 2  7 units

Exercise 8. AB = (6  0) 2  [4  (2)]2 units
1. AB = (7  1) 2  [6  (1)]2 units
= 62  62 units
= 62  (5) 2 units = 72 units
= 61 units BC = (7  6) 2  (3  4) 2 units
= (13) 2  (7) 2 units
2. CD = (3  4) 2  (4  3) 2 units = 218 units
= (7) 2  (7) 2 units AC = (7  0) 2  [3  (2)]2 units
= 98 units = (7) 2  (1) 2 units
= 50 units
3. AB = (9  1)  (6  0) units
2 2
∵ AB, BC and AC are of different lengths.
= 82  62 units ∴ △ABC is not an isosceles triangle.
= 10 units

4. CD = [1  (6)]2  (2  7)2 units 9. OP = (12  0) units = 12 units
OQ = (7  0) 2  (13  0) 2 units
= 7 2  (9)2 units
= 130 units = 7 2  132 units
= 218 units
PQ = (7  12) 2  (13  0) 2 units
5. AB = [3  (3)]2  (1  5)2 units
= (5) 2  132 units
= 62  (6) 2 units
= 194 units
= 72 units
∴ Perimeter of △OPQ
= OP + OQ + PQ
6. CD = [6  (6)]2  [10  (4)]2 units
= (12 + 218 + 194 ) units
= 122  142 units = 40.7 units, cor. to 3 sig. fig.
= 340 units
