CASE STUDY BASED QUESTIONS
1. In order to conduct sports day activities in your school, lines have been drawn with chalk powder at a
distance of 1 m each in a rectangular shaped ground ABCD. 100 flower pots have been placed at the
distance of 1 m from each other along AD, as shown in the following figure. Niharika runs ( 1/4)th
distance AD on the 2nd line and posts a green Flag. Preet runs ( 1/5) th distance AD on the eighth
line and posts are red flags. Taking A as the origin AB along x-axis and AD along y-axis, answer the
following questions:

i) Find the coordinates of the green flag.

ii) Find the distance between the two flags.
 iii) If Rashmi has to post a blue flag exactly halfway between the line segment joining the two flags,
where should she post her flag?
2. Liyan, 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

Based on the above, answer the following questions :

1) Find the mid-point of the segment joining F and G.
2)What is the distance between the points A and C ?
3) Find the coordinates of the point which divides the line segment joining the points A and B in the
ratio 1:3internally.
4) What are the coordinates of the point D?
3. 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:

a) If A is taken as origin, what are the coordinates of the vertices of Triangle PQR
