 Case Study Based Questions)

Ques 20 A garden is in the shape of a square. The gardener grew saplings of Ashoka tree on the boundary of
the garden at the distance of 1 m from each other. He wants to decorate the garden with rose plants. He chose
a triangular region inside the garden to grow rose plants. In the above situation, the gardener took help from the
students of class 10. They made a chart for it which looks like the given figure.

Based on the above, answer the following questions :

(i) If A is taken as origin, what are the coordinates of the vertices of △ PQR ?
(ii) Find distances PQ and QR.
(iii) Find coordinates of the point which divides line segment joining P and R in the ratio 2 : 1 internally.
(iii) Find out if △ PQR is an isosceles triangle.

Ques 21 Ryan, from a very young age, was fascinated by the twinkling of stars and the vastness of space. He
always dreamt of becoming an astronaut one day. So he started to sketch his own rocket designs on the graph
sheet. One such design is given below :

(i) Find the mid-point of the segment joining F and G.

(ii) What is the distance between the points A and C ?
(iii) What are the coordinates of the point D ?
(iv) Find the coordinates of the point which divides the line segment joining A and B in the ratio 1 : 3
Ques 22 In the game of archery, a bow is used to shoot arrows at a target board. The player stands far away
from the board and aims the arrow so that it hits the board. One such board, which is divided into 4 concentric
circular sections, is drawn on a coordinate grid as shown. Each section carries different points as shown in the
figure. If an arrow lands on the boundary, the inner section points are awarded.

(a) After shooting two arrows, Rohan scored 25 points. Write one set of coordinates for each arrow that
landed on the target.

(b) If one player’s arrow lands on (2, 2.5), how many points will be awarded to the player?

(c) One of Rohan’s arrow landed on (1.2, 1.6). He wants his second arrow to land on the line joining the
origin and first arrow such that he gets 10 points for it. Find one possible pair of coordinates of the
second arrow's landing mark.

(d) An arrow landed on the boundary and is worth 20 points. The coordinates of the landing mark were of
the form (m, -m). Find all such coordinates.

Ques 23 Tharunya was thrilled to know that the football tournament is fixed with a monthly timeframe from
20th July to 20th August 2023 and for the first time in the FIFA Women’s World Cup’s history, two nations host in
10 venues. Her father felt that the game can be better understood if the position of players is represented as
points on a coordinate plane.

(a) At an instance, the midfielders and forward formed a parallelogram. Find the position of the central
midfielder (D) if the position of other players who formed the parallelogram are :- A(1,2), B(4,3) and C(6,6)

(b) Check if the Full-back J(5,-3) and centre-back I(-4,6) are equidistant from forward C(0,1) and if C is the
mid-point of IJ.

line and B is equidistant from A and E, find the position of E.
