Activity Questions 2.2

Question 1 (Fill in the blank)

1) The distance of a point P(1, |tan θ|) from the origin is _______

Hint: |tan² θ| + 1 = |sec² θ|

Options:

1

|sec θ|

|tan θ|

-cosec θ

0

Solution

Question 2 (Fill in the blank)

  1. The distance of a point lying on the X-coordinate from the origin is _______

Options:

The value of the vertical distance of that point from the origin

Cannot be determined

The value of the horizontal distance of that point from the origin

0

Solution

Question 3 (Fill in the blank)

  1. The distance between P(-5, -2) and Q(-2, 2) is _______

Options:

7

9

-6

5

Solution

Question 4 (Multiple Select Questions - MSQ)

  1. Which of the following is/are true, if D is the distance between two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂)?

Options (checkboxes):

D = √((x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²)

D = √((x₁ - x₂)² + (y₀ - y₁)²)

D = √(x² + y²), (if one of the points is at origin, where x, y represents any point)

D = √((x₂ - x₁) + (y₂ - y₁))

Solution

These four questions all focus on the concept of distance between points in coordinate geometry, covering distance from origin, distance between two specific points, and the general distance formula.
