Q8
If A(5, 2), B(2,–2) and C(–2, t) are the vertices of a right angled triangle with angle B = 90°, then find the value of t.
Marks:2Answer:
In right angled triangle, ABC,
By Pythagoras Theorem,
AC2 = AB2 + BC2
(5 + 2)2 +(2 – t)2 =(5 – 2)2 +(2 +2)2 +(2 + 2)2
+(–2 – t)272 + 4 – 4t + t2 = 9 + 16 + 16 + 4 + 4t + t2
53 – 4t = 45 + 4t
53 – 45 = 8t
t = 8/8 = 1 -
