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)
- 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)
- The distance between P(-5, -2) and Q(-2, 2) is _______
Options:
7
9
-6
5
Solution
Question 4 (Multiple Select Questions - MSQ)
- 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.
