उत्तर
The distance d between two points `(x_1 ,y_1) and (x_2 , y_2)` is given by the formula
` d= sqrt( (x_1 -x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2)`
In a square all the sides are equal to each other.
Here the four points are A(5,p), B(1,5), C(2,1) and D(6,2).
The vertex ‘A’ should be equidistant from ‘B’ as well as ‘D’
Let us now find out the distances ‘AB’ and ‘AD’.
`AB = sqrt((5-1)^2 + (P -5)^2)`
`AB = sqrt((4)^2 + (p -5)^2)`
`AD = sqrt((5-6)^2 + (p-2)^2)`
`AD = sqrt((-1)^2 + (p-2)^2)`
These two need to be equal.
Equating the above two equations we have,
AB = AD
`sqrt((4)^2 +(p -5)^2 ) = sqrt((-1)^2 + (p-2)^2)`
Squaring on both sides we have,
`(4)^2 +(p -5)^2 = (-1)^2 + (p - 2)^2`
`16+p^2 + 25 - 10 p = 1 + p^2 + 4 - 4p`
6p = 36
p = 6

(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).
