Chapter 3 : Coordinate geometry
Q. (Street plan): A city has two main roads which cross each other at the center of the city. These two roads are along the North-South direction and East-West direction. All the other streets of the city-run parallel to these roads and are 200m apart. There are 5 streets in each direction. Using 1 cm =200m, draw a model of the city on your notebook. Represent the roads/streets by single lines.
There are many cross-streets in your model. A particular cross-street is made by two streets, one running in the North-South direction and another in the East-West direction. Each cross street is referred to in the following manner: If the 2nd street running in the North-South direction and 5th in the East-West direction meet at some crossing, then we will call this cross-street (2, 5). Using this conversion, find:(i) How many cross-streets can be referred to as (4, 3)
(ii) How many cross-streets can be referred to as (3, 4).
