Solution

The exercises in the image involve the following tasks:

Exercise 1

Determine the distance between the given pairs of points in the plane:

  1. P(5,7)P(5,7) and Q(1,3)Q(-1,3)
  2. A(4,2)A(-4,-2) and B(1,5)B(1,5)
  3. C(0,3)C(0,3) and D(4,0)D(4,0)
  4. E(2,2)E(2,2) and F(5,6)F(5,6)

To find the distance between two points (x1,y1)(x_1, y_1) and (x2,y2)(x_2, y_2), use the distance formula: d=(x2x1)2+(y2y1)2d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}

Exercise 2

Find the perimeter of the quadrilateral with vertices:

  • A(4,2)A(-4,-2)
  • B(1,5)B(1,5)
  • C(2,2)C(2,2)
  • D(4,0)D(-4,0)

To solve this, calculate the distances between each pair of consecutive vertices (AB, BC, CD, DA) and sum them to obtain the perimeter.

Exercise 3

Determine the lengths of the sides of the triangle with vertices:

  • P(0,4)P(0,4)
  • Q(2,3)Q(2,3)
  • T(2,0)T(-2,0)

Then, plot the triangle. The distance formula can be used for each pair of points (PQ, QT, and TP).
