What is the perimeter of the triangle with the vertices A(–4, 2), B(0, –1) and C(3, 3) ? -Maths 9th

1 Answer

Answer :

The two given lines are ax + by + c1 = 0 and ax + by + c2 = 0. Any line parallel to these two lines and midway between them is ax + by + c = 0              ...(i) Putting x = 0, y = \(-rac{c}{b}\) is a point on line (i)It is equidistant from the given lines but in opposite directions, so\(rac{\big|a imes0+b imes-rac{c}{b}+c_1\big|}{\sqrt{a^2+b^2}}\) = \(-rac{\big|a imes0+b imes-rac{c}{b}+c_2\big|}{\sqrt{a^2+b^2}}\) ⇒ – c + c1 = c – c2 ⇒ c = \(rac{c_1+c_2}{2}\)∴ Required equation is ax + by + \(rac{c_1+c_2}{2}\) = 0.
