    Question 10.
    In the figure, a right triangle BOA is given. C is the mid-point of the hypotenuse AB. Show that it is equidistant from the vertices O, A and B.
    Solution:
    RD Sharma Class 10 Solution Chapter 14 Co-Ordinate Geometry
    In right ∆OAB, co-ordinates of O are (0, 0) of A are (2a, 0) and of B are (0, 2b)
    C is the mid-point of AB
    Co-ordinates of C will be
    RD Sharma Class 10 Solution Chapter 14 Co-Ordinate Geometry
    We see that CO = CA = CB
    Hence C is equidistant from the vertices O, A and B.
    Hence proved.
