Q34 of 149 Page 14

Q (0, 1) is equidistant from P (5, -3) and R (x, 6), find the values of x. Also, find the distances QR and PR.

Coordinates are Q(0, 1), P (5, -3) and R (x, 6),


Using distance formula =


⇒ QP = QR



On squaring both sides, we get


=


=


=


proved


QR = = = units


PR = = = units
