In NCERT Class 10 Maths, Chapter 7 Coordinate Geometry, students learn about the basics of coordinate geometry. The chapter explains the concept of the Cartesian plane, coordinates of a point, distance formula, section formula, and area of a triangle.

Exercise 7.4
Question No. 8
Page No. 172
The mid-point of AB is P. Therefore,
The coordinates of P = ((-1, 1)/2, (-1+4)/2) = (-1, 3/2)
Similarly, the coordinates of points Q, R and S are (2, 4). (5, 3/2) and (2, -1) respectively.
Length of PQ = √((-1-2)²+(3/2 -4)²) = √(9+25/4) = √(61/4)
Length of QR = √((2-5)²+(4-3/2)²) = √(9+25/4) = √(61/4)
Length of PS = √((5-2)²+(3/2+1)²) = √(9+25/4) = √(61/4)
Length of SP = √((2+1)²+(-1-3/2)²) = √(9+25/4) = √(61/4)
Length of PR = √((-1-5)²+(3/2-3/2)²) = √(36+0) = 6
Length of SQ = √((2-2)²+(4+1)²) = √(0+25) = 5
All the sides of quadrilateral PQRS are equal (PQ = QR = RS = ST) but diagonals are not equal (PR ≠ SQ). So, PQRS is a rhombus.
