Yes, we can find the distance between the given towns A and B.
Assume town A at origin point (0, 0).
Therefore, town B will be at point (36, 15) with respect to town A.
And hence, as calculated above, the distance between town A and B will be 39km

Let the point be (x, 0) on x–axis which is equidistant from (2, –5) and (–2, 9).
Using Distance Formula and according to given conditions we have:

Squaring both sides, we get
⇒
(x-2)² + 25 = (x+2)² + 81
x² + 4 - 4x + 25 = x² + 4 + 4x + 81
8x = - 25 - 81
8x = -56

Let the ratio in which the line segment joining ( -3, 10) and (6, -8) is divided by point ( -1, 6) be k:1.
Therefore, -1 = 6k-3/k+1
-k - 1 = 6k -3
7k = 2
k = 2/7
Therefore, the required ratio is 2:7.
Find the ratio in which the line segment joining A (1, - 5) and B (- 4, 5) is divided by the x-axis. Also find the coordinates of the point of division.
Let the ratio in which the line segment joining A (1, - 5) and B ( - 4, 5) is divided by x-axis be k:1.
Therefore, the coordinates of the point of division is (-4k+1/k+1, 5k-5/k+1).
We know that y-coordinate of any point on x-axis is 0.
∴ 5k-5/k+1 = 0
Therefore, x-axis divides it in the ratio 1:1.
To find the coordinates let's substitute the value of k in equation(1)
Required point = [(- 4(1) + 1) / (1 + 1), (5(1) - 5) / (1 + 1)]
= [(- 4 + 1) / 2, (5 - 5) / 2]

Find the coordinates of a point A, where AB is the diameter of circle whose centre is (2, - 3) and B is (1, 4).
Let (x,y) be the coordinate of A.
Since AB is the diameter of the circle, the centre will be the mid-point of AB.
now, as centre is the mid-point of AB.
x-coordinate of centre = (2x+1)/2
y-coordinate of centre = (2y+4)/2
But given that centre of circle is (2,−3).
Therefore,
(2x+1)/2=2⇒x=3
(2y+4)/2=−3⇒y=−10
Thus the coordinate of A is (3,−10).
If A and B are (–2, –2) and (2, –4), respectively, find the coordinates of P such that AP = 3/7 AB and P lies on the line segment AB.
As given the coordinates of A(−2,−2) and B(2,−4) and P is a point lies on AB.
And AP = 3/7 AB
∴BP = 4/7
Then, ratio of AP and PB = m1:m2 = 3:4
Let the coordinates of P be (x,y).
∴ x = (m1x2 + m2x1) / (m1 + m2)
⇒ x = (3 × 2 + 4 × (−2)) / (3 + 4) = (6 − 8) / 7 = −2 / 7
And y = (m1y2 + m2y1) / (m1 + m2)
⇒ y = ((3 × (−4) + 4 × (−2)) / (3 + 4) = (−12−8) / 7 = −20 / 7
∴ Coordinates of P = −2 / 7, −20 / 7

(i) (7, –2), (5, 1), (3, k)
Since, the given points are collinear, it means the area of triangle formed by them is equal to zero.
Therefore, for points (7, -2) (5, 1), and (3,k), area = 0
⇒ ½[7 (1 − k) + 5 {k − (−2)} + 3 (−2 − 1)]
= ½(7 − 7k + 5k + 10 − 9) = 0

⇒ 2k = 8
⇒ k = 4
(ii) (8, 1), (k, –4), (2, –5)
Since, the given points are collinear, it means the area of triangle formed by them is equal to zero.

⇒ ½[8 {−4 − (−5)} + k (−5 − 1) + 2 {1 − (−4)}]
= ½(8 − 6k + 10) = 0
⇒ ½(18 − 6k) = 0
⇒18 − 6k = 0

Area of ΔDEF = 1/2 {1(2-1) + 1(1-0) + 0(0-2)}
= 1/2 (1+1) = 1 square units
Area of ΔABC = 1/2 [0(1-3) + 2{3-(-1)} + 0(-1-1)]

= 1/2 [20 + 15 + 0]

We know that median of a triangle divides it into two triangles of equal areas. Verify this result for △ABC whose vertices are A (4, –6), B (3, –2) and C (5, 2).
Let the vertices of the triangle be A (4, -6), B (3, -2), and C (5, 2).
Let D be the mid-point of side BC of ΔABC. Therefore, AD is the median in ΔABC.
Coordinates of point D = (3+5/2, -2+2/2) = (4,0)
Area of a triangle = 1/2 {x1 (y2 - y3) + x2 (y3 - y1) + x3 (y1 - y2)}
Area of △ABD = 1/2[4 (−2 − 0) + 3 {0 − (−6)} + 4 {−6 − (−2)}]
=1/2(−8 + 18 −16)
=1/2 (−6) = −3 sq units
Area cannot be in negative.
Therefore, we just consider its numerical value.
Therefore, area of △ABD = 3 sq units
Again using formula to find area of triangle:
Area of △ABD = 1/2 [4 (0 − 2) + 4{2 − (−6)} + 5 {−6 −0 )}]
= 1/2 (- 8 + 32 −30) = ½ (-6) = -3 sq units.
However, area cannot be negative. Therefore, area of ΔABD is 3 square units.
The area of both sides is same. Thus, median AD has divided ΔABC in two triangles of equal areas
Hence Proved.

However OA = OB (Radii of same circle)
⇒
=>x² + 36 - 12x + y² + 36 + 12y = x² + 9 - 6x + y² + 49 -14y
⇒ -6x + 2y + 14 = 0
⇒ 3x + y = 7 ....1
Similary OA = OC (Radii of same circle)
=>x² + 36 - 12x + y² + 36 + 12y = x² + 9 - 6x + y² + 9 - 6y
⇒ -6x + 18y + 54 = 0
⇒ -3x + 9y = -27 .....(2)
On adding equation (1) and (2), we obtain
10y = - 20
y = - 2
From equation (1), we obtain
3x − 2 = 7
3x = 9
x = 3
Therefore, the centre of the circle is (3, −2).

Let ABCD be a square having (−1, 2) and (3, 2) as vertices A and C respectively. Let (x,y), (x1,y1) be the coordinate of vertex B and D respectively.
We know that the sides of a square are equal to each other.
∴ AB = BC
=>x² + 2x + 1 + y² -4y + 4 = x² + 9 -6x + y² + 4 - 4y
⇒ 8x = 8
⇒ x = 1
We know that in a square, all interior angles are of 90°.
In ΔABC,
AB² + BC² = AC²
⇒4 + y² + 4 − 4y + 4 + y² + 4 − 4y = 16
⇒2y² + 16 − 8 = 16
⇒2y² - 8 = 0
⇒y(y - 4) = 0
⇒y = 0 or 4
We know that in a square, the diagonals are of equal length and bisect each other at 90°. Let O be the mid-point of AC. Therefore, it will also be the mid-point of BD
Coordinate of point O = ((-1+3)/2, (2+2)/2)
⇒1 + x1/2 = 1
⇒1 + x1 = 2
⇒x1 = 1
and y + y1 /2 = 2
⇒ y + y1= 4
⇒If y = 0
⇒y1= 4
⇒If y = 4
⇒y1= 0
Therefore, the required coordinates are (1, 0) and (1, 4).
The vertices of a △ ABC are A (4, 6), B (1, 5) and C (7, 2). A line is drawn to intersect sides AB and AC at D and E respectively such that AD/AB = AE/AC = 1/4 .Calculate the area of the △ ADE and compare it with the area of △ ABC.
Given that (AD)/(AB) = (AE)/(AC) = 1/4
(AD)/(AD+DB) = (AE)/(AE+EC) = 1/4
