उत्तर
Distance between two points = `sqrt((x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2`
By distance formula,
PQ = `sqrt([2 - (-2)]^2 + (2 - 2)^2`
= `sqrt((2 + 2)^2 + (0)^2`
= `sqrt((4)^2`
= 4 ...(i)
QR = `sqrt((2 - 2)^2 + (7 - 2)^2`
= `sqrt((0)^2 + (5)^2`
= `sqrt((5)^2`
= 5 ...(ii)
PR = `sqrt([2 -(-2)]^2 + (7 - 2)^2`
= `sqrt((2 + 2)^2 + (5)^2`
= `sqrt((4)^2 + (5)^2`
= `sqrt(16 + 25)`
= `sqrt(41)`
Now, PR2 = `(sqrt(41))^2`
= 41 ...(iii)
Consider, PQ2 + QR2
= 42 + 52
= 16 + 25
= 41 ...[From (i) and (ii)]
∴ PR2 = PQ2 + QR2 ...[From (iii)]
∴ ∆PQR is a right angled triangle. ...[Converse of Pythagoras theorem]
∴ Points P, Q, and R are the vertices of a right angled triangle.

In a GPS, The lines that run east-west are known as lines of latitude, and the lines running north-south are known as lines of longitude. The latitude and the longitude of a place are its coordinates and the distance formula is used to find the distance between two places. The distance between two parallel lines is approximately 150 km. A family from Uttar Pradesh planned a round trip from Lucknow (L) to Puri (P) via Bhuj (B) and Nashik (N) as shown in the given figure below.
