उत्तर

Let L(x1, y1) = L(x, 7) and M(x2, y2) = M(1, 15)

x1 = x, y1 = 7, x2 = 1, y2 = 15

By distance formula,

d(L, M) = `sqrt((x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2`

∴ d(L, M) = `sqrt((1 - x)^2 + (15 - 7)^2`

∴ `10 = sqrt((1 - x)^2 + 8^2`

∴ 100 = (1 – x)2 + 64   ...[Squaring both sides]

∴ (1 – x)2 = 100 – 64

∴ (1 – x)2 = 36

∴ `1 - x = ± sqrt(36)`   ...[Taking square root of both sides]

∴ 1 – x = ± 6

∴ 1 – x = 6 or 1 – x = – 6

∴ x = –5 or x = 7

∴ The value of x is –5 or 7.
