Coordinate Geometry: Midpoints & Areas

The document discusses key concepts in coordinate geometry including finding the midpoint of a line segment between two points, calculating the area of triangles, identifying parallel and perpendicular lines, and solving examples related to these topics. Specifically, it provides examples of finding the midpoint and properties of a parallelogram where the coordinates of its points are given, calculating the length and midpoint of the line segment between the midpoints of two sides of a triangle, determining values of variables for the coordinates of a parallelogram, and identifying perpendicular and parallel lines based on slopes of lines.

Coordinate Geometry

 Midpoint of the Line Joining Two Points


 Areas of Triangles
 Parallel and Non-Parallel Lines
 Perpendicular Lines

Midpoint of the Line Joining Two Points

Example 1

P, Q, R and S are coordinates of a parallelogram and M is the midpoint of PR. Find the coordinates of M
and S and show that PQRS is a rhombus.
PQ  QR  the parallelogram PQRS is a rhombus

Example 2

3 points have coordinates A(–1, 6), B(3, 2) and C(–5, –4). Given that D and E are the midpoints of AB and
AC respectively, calculate the midpoint and length of DE.

Example 3

If A(2, 0), B(p, –2), C(–1, 1) and D(3, r) are the vertices of a parallelogram ABCD, calculate the values of p
and r.
