✮ Answer:
B) Parallelogram
❒ Concept used:
- A figure is said to be a Parallelogram when the opposite sides are parallel to each other.
- A figure is said to be a trapezium when only 1 pair of opposite sides are parallel and the other pair is not parallel.
❃ Explanation:
➝ Refer the graph* which is plotted for the given points in the attachment.
➝ When an imaginary line is drawn passing through the points, we can observe that opposite sides are parallel.
∴ The given coordinates form a Parallelogram.
*Graph attached is made with Desmos graph
Given :
Points :
- P(-2,1)
- Q(2,1)
- R(3,2)
- S(-1,2)
To find :
- Plotting the points P, Q, R,S
- Whether the figure is a trapezium or parallelogram.
Solution :
Using distance formula :
where and are x coordinates of 1st and 2nd point respectively
and and are y coordinates of 1st and 2nd point respectively
To find PQ
- P(-2,1)
- Q(2,1)
PQ = √ [2-(-2)]²+(1-1)²
PQ = √ (2+2)²+(0)²
PQ = √(4)²+0
PQ = √16
PQ = 4units
To find QR
- Q(2,1)
- R(3,2)
QR = √ (3-2)²+(2-1)²
QR = √ (1)²+(1)²
QR = √1+1
QR = √2units
To find RS
- R(3,2)
- S(-1,2)
RS = √ (-1-3)²+(2-2)²
RS = √(-4)²+(0)²
RS = √ 16+0
RS = √16
RS = 4units
To find SP
- S(-1,2)
- P(-2,1)
SP = √[-2-(-1)]²+(1-2)²
SP = √[-2+1]²+(-1)²
SP = √(-1)²+1
SP = √1+1
SP = √2 units
Hence,
PQ=RS
QR=SP
Since,
Opposite sides of a quadrilateral are equal, it forms a parallelogram. [trapezium does not have equal opposite sides]
