Let the fourth vertex D =(x,y)
We know that the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. So,the
midpoint of AC is same as the mid point of BD.
Using mid point formula:

18. It is given that, centre of circle is (0,0) and it passes through the
point (13/2,0).
∴ Radius of circle = Distance between (0,0) and (13/2,0)
Using distance formula:
= √(𝑥2 − 𝑥1 )2 +(𝑦2 − 𝑦1 )2
Radius is 6.5 units
A point lie outside, on or inside the circle if the distance of point from the
 centre of the circle is greater than, equal to or less than radius of the circle
respectively.
Now, to get the correct option, we have to check the option one by one.
(a), (b) and (c) lie in the interior of the circle
But the (d) doesnot lie on the interior but on the circle (-6,5/2)
19. c. 4 and -4

20. b. 12 Let us make use of the distance

formula finding the distance between

= √(𝑥2 − 𝑥1 )2 +(𝑦2 − 𝑦1 )2
The formula to find the perimeter is
Perimeter of triangle ABC = AB + BC
+ CA
Substituting the values
