Question

A square park has paths as shown. Use coordinates to determine whether a coffee shop at point M is the same distance from each corner.

hintHint:

Use Pythagoras property.

The correct answer is: the coffee shop at M is equidistant from each corner.


    Complete step by step solution:
                                      

    Here, take one vertex A to be at origin and length of the square = 2m.
    We have AE = EB = BF = FD = DG = GC = CH = HA = HM = MF= MG =ME = m

    (since it is a square and H and G are midpoints of CD and AC.

    Also, GE ⟂ AB and FH ⟂ AC)

    By using Pythagoras property,

    Length of CM = square root of m squared plus m squared end root equals square root of 2 m
    Length of DM = square root of m squared plus m squared end root equals square root of 2 m

    Length of AM = square root of m squared plus m squared end root equals square root of 2 m
    Length of BM = square root of m squared plus m squared end root equals square root of 2 m
    Hence, the coffee shop at M is equidistant from each corner.
