Geometry Questions

Introduction :

Geometry is a section in math, which deals with many aspects regarding shapes, figures. they involve with construction, study of their properties, area , volume, etc. They include study of solids too. Geometry deals with the entire concepts related to the shapes, solids, etc. Sample questions about the intersecting lines, area are in the following section.


Example geometry questions:


Here are few example geometry questions:

Geometry question 1:

Find the area of the triangle formed by (5,2), (-9,-3), (-3,-5)

Solution:

The formula for finding the area of the triangle formed by  (x1,y1), (x2,y2), (x3,y3)  is 1/2 | [x1(y2 – y3) + x2(y3 – y1) + x3(y1 – y2)] |

Applying the formula,we get

1/2 | [5(-3 + 5) -9(-5 -2) -3(2 + 3)]|

1/2 |10 + 63 – 15|

1/2 |58|

Hence the area of the triangle is 29.


Geometry question 2:

Find the point which divides the line segment joining (-1,2) and (4,-5) in the ratio 3:2

The formula for a point which divides the line joining A(x1,y1) and (x2,y2) in the ratio l:m is

`((lx2 + my1)/( l + m) ,(lx2 + my1)/( l + m)) `

Applying the formula,

The point is

`((3 * 4 + 2 * (-1)) /( 3 + 2) , (3 * (-5) + 2 * 2)/(3 + 2))`

`((10)/(5),(-11)/(5))`

Hence the point is (2,-11/5)
