उत्तर
The verticals of the triangle are A(2,1) , B (4,3) and C(2,5).
`"Coordinates of midpoint of" AB = P (x_1,y_1)= ((2+4)/2,(1+3)/2) = (3,2)`
`"Coordinates of midpoint of " BC = Q(x_2,y_2) = ((4+2)/2,(3+5)/2) = (3,4)`
`"Coordinates of midpoint of" AC =R (x_3,y_3) = ((2+2)/2, (1+5)/2) = (2,3)`
Now,
`"Area of " ΔPQR =1/2 [x_2(y_2-y_3) +x_2 (y_3-y_1) +x_3 (y_1-y_2)]`
`=1/2[3(4-3)+3(3-2)+2(2-4)]`
`=1/2[3+3-4]=1` sq. unit
Hence, the area of the quadrilateral triangle is 1 sq. unit.

(Street Plan): A city has two main roads which cross each other at the centre of the city. These two roads are along the North-South direction and East-West direction.
All the other streets of the city run parallel to these roads and are 200 m apart. There are 5 streets in each direction. Using 1cm = 200 m, draw a model of the city on your notebook. Represent the roads/streets by single lines.
There are many cross- streets in your model. A particular cross-street is made by two streets, one running in the North - South direction and another in the East - West direction. Each cross street is referred to in the following manner : If the 2nd street running in the North - South direction and 5th in the East - West direction meet at some crossing, then we will call this cross-street (2, 5). Using this convention, find:
- how many cross - streets can be referred to as (4, 3).
- how many cross - streets can be referred to as (3, 4).
