3. Three given points will form:

  • Right angled triangle if sum of squares of any two sides is equal to the square of third (largest) side.
  • Equilateral triangle if length of all three sides are equal.
  • Isosceles triangle if length of any two sides are equal.
  • A line or collinear if sum of two sides is equal to third side.

4. Four given points will form:

  • Square if length of all four sides are equal and diagonals are equal.
  • Rhombus if length of all four sides are equal.
  • Rectangle if opposite sides are equal and diagonals are equal.
  • Parallelogram if opposite sides are equal.

Section formula
I. If A(x1, y1) and BB(x2, y2)) are two points on a plane and P(x, y) divides AB internally in the ratio m : n, then co-ordinates of P are given by

Area of a Triangle

1. Area of ΔABC formed by vertices A(x1, y1), B(x2, y2) and C(x3, y3) is given by
Ar(ΔABC) =\(\frac{1}{2}\) (- y3) + x2 (y3 – y1)+ x3(y1 – y2)]
[Only positive numerical value to be taken]

2. If Ar(ΔABC) = 0, then A, B and C are collinear points.

3. If‘C’ is centroid of a triangle, the median is divided in the ratio 2 : 1 by C and coordinates of C are
\(\left(\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}+x_{3}}{3}, \frac{y_{1}+y_{2}+y_{3}}{3}\right)\)

4. Area of quadrilateral LMNO = ar(ΔLMO) + ar(ΔNMO)
