उत्तर
The given points are A(3,0), B(4,5), C(-1,4) and D(-2,-1)
`AB = sqrt((3-4)^2 + (0-5)^2 ) = sqrt((-1)^2 +(-5)^2)`
`= sqrt(1+25) = sqrt(26)`
`BC = sqrt((4+1)^2 +(5-4)^2) = sqrt((5)^2 +(1)^2)`
`= sqrt(25+1) = sqrt(26)`
`CD = sqrt((-1+2)^2 +(4+1)^2) = sqrt((1)^2 +(5)^2)`
`= sqrt(1+25) = sqrt(26)`
`AD = sqrt((3+2)^2 +(0+1)^2) = sqrt((5)^2 +(1)^2)`
`= sqrt(25+1) = sqrt(26)`
`AC = sqrt((3+1)^2 + (0-4)^2) = sqrt((4)^2+(-4)^2)`
`= sqrt(16+16) =4sqrt(2)`
`BD = sqrt((4+2)^2 +(5+1)^2 ) = sqrt((6)^2+(6)^2)`
`= sqrt((36+36)) = 6 sqrt(2) `
`∵ AB = BC =CD =AD = 6 sqrt(2) and AC ≠ BD `
Therefore, the given points are the vertices of a rhombus
Area (Δ ABCD ) =`1/2 xx AC xxBD`
`= 1/2 xx 4 sqrt(2) xx 6 sqrt(2 ) = 24 ` sq. units
Hence, the area of the rhombus is 24 sq. units.

(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).

A tiling or tessellation of a flat surface is the covering of a plane using one or more geometric shapes, called tiles, with no overlaps and no gaps. Historically, tessellations were used in ancient Rome and in Islamic art. You may find tessellation patterns on floors, walls, paintings etc. Shown below is a tiled floor in the archaeological Museum of Seville, made using squares, triangles and hexagons.

A craftsman thought of making a floor pattern after being inspired by the above design. To ensure accuracy in his work, he made the pattern on the Cartesian plane. He used regular octagons, squares and triangles for his floor tessellation pattern
