    Study Notes

    Coordinate Geometry Exercises

    • Distance Formula: Used to find the distance between two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂). The formula is √((x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²).
    • Midpoint Formula: Finds the midpoint of a line segment with endpoints (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂). Formula: ((x₁ + x₂)/2, (y₁ + y₂)/2).
    • Section Formula: Calculates the coordinates of a point dividing a line segment in a given ratio. If a point divides a line segment in the ratio m:n, the coordinates are ((nx₁ + mx₂)/(m+n), (ny₁ + my₂)/(m+n)).
    • Collinear Points: Points are collinear when they lie on the same straight line. The area of the triangle formed by these points is zero.

    Isosceles Triangle Check

    • Identifying Isosceles: To determine if three points form an isosceles triangle, calculate the distance between each pair of points. If any two distances are equal, the triangle is isosceles.

    Quadrilaterals

    • Identifying Quadrilaterals: Analyze the distances between the vertices of a quadrilateral. Equal sides suggest a rhombus, equal opposite sides imply a parallelogram. Calculation of lengths of the diagonals helps distinguish shapes. Lengths of opposite sides indicate parallelograms. Diagonals equalling or not equalling each other provide information about different shapes (squares, rectangles).

    Area of Triangles and Quadrilaterals

    • Triangle Area: To find the area of a triangle, use the formula Area= 1/2|x₁(y₂-y₃) + x₂(y₃-y₁) + x₃(y₁-y₂)| , where (x₁, y₁), (x₂, y₂), and (x₃, y₃) are the coordinates of the vertices.
    • Quadrilateral Area: Divide a quadrilateral into triangles for calculating its area. Alternatively use the formula Area= 1/2|x₁(y₂-y₄)+x₂(y₃-y₁)+x₃(y₄-y₂)+x₄(y₁-y₃)| . The area of a rhombus is 1/2 * (product of diagonals).

    Problems Involving X-axis

    • Point on the X-axis: Any point on the x-axis has a y-coordinate of 0.
    • Distance: The x-coordinate of a point on the x-axis is equidistant from given coordinate points (x, y) is given by a specific formula
