Name : ___________________________ Class : _________ No. :_______
1. In the figure, OAC is an isosceles triangle with base 10 units and height 8 units. B is the mid-point
of OA. Write down the coordinates of A, B and C.
∵ OA 10 units ∴ Coordinates of )0 ,10(A
∵ B is the mid-point of OA.
∴ Coordinates of )0 ,5(0 ,2

2. Given that the vertices of a parallelogram are A(–2, 4), B(–4, 1), C(–1, –3) and D( 1, 0).
(a) Find the lengths of AB, BC, CD and DA.
(b) Hence, show that the opposite sides of parallelogram ABCD are equal.

5)40(2)](1[ 22 DA
(b) ∵ AB CD and BC DA ∴ The opposite sides of parallelogram ABCD are equal.
3. It is given that O(0, 0), A(p, 0), B(p + q, r) and C(q, r) are the vertices of a parallelogram OABC.
Prove that the diagonals OB and AC bisect each other.

∵ Mid-point of OB and of AC is the same point. ∴ The diagonals OB and AC bisect each other.
4. In the figure, P(0, p), Q and R(r, 0) are the vertices of △PQR. Given that OP is the perpendicular
bisector of QR, prove that △PQR is an isosceles triangle.
∵ OP is the perpendicular bisector of QR. ∴ OP QR and QO OR ∴ Coordinates of Q (–r, 0)

5. In the figure, OA is the base of rhombus OACB. It is given that the height of rhombus OACB is 4
units.
(a) Find the coordinates of B and C.
(b) Hence, prove that AB⊥CO.

6. By the analytic approach, prove that if the diagonals of a rectangle are perpendicular to each other,
then the rectangle is a square.
Let a and b be the length and the width of a rectangle respectively. Set up the coordinate system as shown in the figure. The vertices of the rectangle
are A(a, 0), B(a, b), C(0, b) and D(0, 0).

7. By the analytic approach, prove that if a line passes through the mid-point of one side of a
triangle and is parallel to another side, it bisects the third side of the triangle.
Let O(0, 0), P(a, b) and Q(c, 0) be the vertices of the triangle. Set up the coordinate system as shown in the figure. M is the mid-point of OP. N(x, y) is a point on PQ such that MN // OQ.
