Question 1

How will you describe the position of a table lamp on your study table to another person?

Answer

Steps :

  1. Consider the lamp as a point and table as a plane.

  2. Let ABCD be the top view of table and E be the position of lamp.

  3. Let AD be y-axis and CD be x-axis.

  4. From point E draw EF ⊥ AD and EG ⊥ CD.

  5. Measure EF = 25 units (let) and EG = 30 units (let).

How will you describe the position of a table lamp on your study table to another person? NCERT Class 9 Mathematics CBSE Solutions.

The distance of the point from the x-axis and y-axis is x and y respectively, so the coordinates of table lamp will be (x, y).

E(x, y) = (EF, EG) = (25, 30).

Hence, position of lamp on table can be described by coordinates (25, 30).
