For

Ratio

Hence the coordinates of

For

Ratio

Hence the coordinates of

Question 9: One end of the diameter of a circle is Find the co-ordinates of the other end of it, if the center of the circle is .

Let be the other end of the diameter

Hence the coordinates of the other point of the diameter is

Question 10: are the vertices of quadrilateral . Find the co-ordinates of the midpoint of . Give a special name to the quadrilateral.

Let be the midpoint of .

Therefore

Let . be the midpoint of .

Therefore

Because the diagonals bisect each other, the quadrilateral is a Parallelogram.

Let the vertices of the triangle be

Given Midpoint of

Therefore

… … … … i)

… … … … ii)

Given Midpoint of

Therefore

… … … … iii)

… … … … iv)

Given Midpoint of

Therefore

… … … … v)

… … … … vi)

Adding i), iii) and v) we get

… … … … vii)

Adding ii), iv) and vi) we get

… … … … viii)

Using i), iii),  v)  and vii) we get

Similarly Using ii), iv),  vi)  and viii) we get

Hence the vertices are
