EXERCISE 23.17 PAGE NO: 23.117

1. Prove that the area of the parallelogram formed by the lines
a1x + b1y + c1 = 0, a1x + b1y + d1 = 0, a2x + b2y + c2 = 0, a2x + b2y + d2 = 0 is RD Sharma Solutions for Class 11 Maths Chapter 23 – The Straight Lines - image 88 sq. units.
Deduce the condition for these lines to form a rhombus.

Solution:

Given:

The given lines are

a1x + b1y + c1 = 0 … (1)

a1x + b1y + d1 = 0 … (2)

a2x + b2y + c2 = 0 … (3)

a2x + b2y + d2 = 0 … (4)

Let us prove the area of the parallelogram formed by the lines a1x + b1y + c1 = 0, a1x + b1y + d1 = 0, a2x + b2y + c2 = 0, a2x + b2y + d2 = 0 is
RD Sharma Solutions for Class 11 Maths Chapter 23 – The Straight Lines - image 89 sq. units.

The area of the parallelogram formed by the lines a1x + b1y + c1 = 0, a1x + b1y + d1 = 0, a2x + b2y + c2 = 0 and a2x + b2y + d2 = 0 is given below:

Hence proved.

2. Prove that the area of the parallelogram formed by the lines 3x – 4y + a = 0, 3x –4y + 3a = 0, 4x – 3y – a = 0 and 4x – 3y – 2a = 0 is 2a2/7 sq. units.

Solution:

Given:

The given lines are

3x − 4y + a = 0 … (1)

3x − 4y + 3a = 0 … (2)

4x − 3y − a = 0 … (3)

4x − 3y − 2a = 0 … (4)

Let us prove the area of the parallelogram formed by the lines 3x – 4y + a = 0, 3x – 4y + 3a = 0, 4x – 3y – a = 0 and 4x – 3y – 2a = 0 is 2a2/7 sq. units.

From the above solution, we know that

Hence proved.

3. Show that the diagonals of the parallelogram whose sides are lx + my + n = 0, lx + my + n’ = 0, mx + ly + n = 0 and mx + ly + n’ = 0 include an angle π/2.

Solution:

Given:

The given lines are

lx + my + n = 0 … (1)

mx + ly + n’ = 0 … (2)

lx + my + n’ = 0 … (3)

mx + ly + n = 0 … (4)

Let us prove the diagonals of the parallelogram whose sides are lx + my + n = 0, lx + my + n’ = 0, mx + ly + n = 0 and mx + ly + n’ = 0 include an angle π/2.

By solving (1) and (2), we get
