Q.

A garden is in the shape of a square. The gardener grew saplings of Ashoka tree on the boundary of the garden at a distance of 1 m from each other. He wants to decorate the garden with rose plants. He chose a triangular region inside the garden to grow them.

In the above situation, the gardener took help from class 10 students. They made a chart for it, which looks like the given figure 

Based on the above information, answer the following questions:

 

(ii) (a) Find distances PQ and QR.

1 PQ = 17QR = 32  
2 PQ = 16QR = -32
3 PQ = 17QR = 34  
4 PQ = -17QR = 12  

Ans.

(1)

We have P(4, 6), Q(3, 2) and R(6, 5)

Finding distances PQ and QR

PQ=(3-4)2+(2-6)2=1+16=17R=(6-3)2+(5-2)2=9+9=18=32
