उत्तर
The distance between any two adjacent vertices of a square will always be equal. This distance is nothing but the side of the square.
Here, the side of the square ‘ABCD’ is given to be ‘2a’.
Here it is said that the centre of the square is at the origin and that the sides of the square are parallel to the axes.
Moving a distance of half the side of the square in either the ‘upward’ or ‘downward’ direction and also along either the ‘right’ or ‘left’ direction will give us all the four vertices of the square.
Half the side of the given square is ‘a’.
The centre of the square is the origin and its vertices are (0, 0). Moving a distance of ‘a’ to the right as well as up will lead us to the vertex ‘A’ and it will have vertices (a, a).
Moving a distance of ‘a’ to the left as well as up will lead us to the vertex ‘B’ and it will have vertices (-(−a, a).
Moving a distance of ‘a’ to the left as well as down will lead us to the vertex ‘C’ and it will have vertices (-(−a, -−a).
Moving a distance of ‘a’ to the right as well as down will lead us to the vertex ‘D’ and it will have vertices (a,-,−a).
So, the coordinates of the different vertices of the square are
A(a, a)
B(-a, a)
C(-a, -a)
D(a, -a)

If the points P(1, 2), Q(0, 0) and R(x, y) are collinear, then find the relation between x and y.
Given points are P(1, 2), Q(0, 0) and R(x, y).
The given points are collinear, so the area of the triangle formed by them is `square`.
∴ `1/2 |x_1(y_2 - y_3) + x_2(y_3 - y_1) + x_3(y_1 - y_2)| = square`
`1/2 |1(square) + 0(square) + x(square)| = square`
`square + square + square` = 0
`square + square` = 0
`square = square`
Hence, the relation between x and y is `square`.
