Worked solution

9(i)

1. Find the gradient of the diagonal AC

The equation of ACAC is 2x+y=62x + y = 6, which can be written as y=−2x+6y = -2x + 6.
The gradient of ACAC, mAC=−2m_{AC} = -2.

2. Find the gradient of the diagonal BD

In a kite, the diagonals intersect at right angles. Therefore, BDBD is perpendicular to ACAC.
mBD=−1mAC=−1−2=12m_{BD} = -\frac{1}{m_{AC}} = -\frac{1}{-2} = \frac{1}{2}.

3. Find the equation of BD

The line BDBD passes through B(−5,1)B(-5, 1) with gradient 12\frac{1}{2}.
y−1=12(x−(−5))y - 1 = \frac{1}{2}(x - (-5))
y−1=12x+52y - 1 = \frac{1}{2}x + \frac{5}{2}
y=12x+72y = \frac{1}{2}x + \frac{7}{2}

Answer

y=12x+312y = \frac{1}{2}x + 3\frac{1}{2}

9(ii)

1. Find the equation of $BD$ (from part (i))

The gradient of ACAC (2x+y=6  ⟹  y=−2x+62x + y = 6 \implies y = -2x + 6) is −2-2.
Since the diagonals of a kite are perpendicular, the gradient of BDBD is 12\frac{1}{2}.
Equation of BDBD passing through B(−5,1)B(-5, 1):
y−1=12(x−(−5))y - 1 = \frac{1}{2}(x - (-5))
y=12x+72y = \frac{1}{2}x + \frac{7}{2}

2. Solve simultaneously to find the coordinates of $M$

Substitute y=−2x+6y = -2x + 6 into the equation of BDBD:
−2x+6=12x+72-2x + 6 = \frac{1}{2}x + \frac{7}{2}
52x=52\frac{5}{2}x = \frac{5}{2}
x=1x = 1
Substitute x=1x = 1 into y=−2x+6y = -2x + 6:
y=−2(1)+6=4y = -2(1) + 6 = 4
Therefore, MM is (1,4)(1, 4).

3. Use the properties of a kite to relate $M$ to $B$ and $D$

In kite ABCDABCD with AB=ADAB = AD and CB=CDCB = CD, the diagonal ACAC is the perpendicular bisector of BDBD.
Thus, MM is the midpoint of BDBD.

4. Find the coordinates of $D$ using the midpoint formula

Let the coordinates of DD be (x,y)(x, y).
(−5+x2,1+y2)=(1,4)\left( \frac{-5 + x}{2}, \frac{1 + y}{2} \right) = (1, 4)
−5+x2=1  ⟹  −5+x=2  ⟹  x=7\frac{-5 + x}{2} = 1 \implies -5 + x = 2 \implies x = 7
1+y2=4  ⟹  1+y=8  ⟹  y=7\frac{1 + y}{2} = 4 \implies 1 + y = 8 \implies y = 7
Therefore, DD is (7,7)(7, 7).

Answer

M(1,4)M(1, 4), D(7,7)D(7, 7)

9(iii)

1. Relate the areas of the triangles to the lengths of the segments on the diagonal $AC$.

The area of △ABD=12×BD×AM\triangle ABD = \frac{1}{2} \times BD \times AM and the area of △CBD=12×BD×CM\triangle CBD = \frac{1}{2} \times BD \times CM.
Since Area of △ABD=13×\triangle ABD = \frac{1}{3} \times Area of △CBD\triangle CBD, we have:
12×BD×AM=13(12×BD×CM)\frac{1}{2} \times BD \times AM = \frac{1}{3} \left( \frac{1}{2} \times BD \times CM \right)
AM=13CM  ⟹  CM=3AMAM = \frac{1}{3} CM \implies CM = 3AM

2. Find the coordinates of $M$ from earlier parts.

From earlier parts, the equation of BDBD is y=12x+72y = \frac{1}{2}x + \frac{7}{2}.
Solving simultaneously with ACAC (2x+y=62x + y = 6):
2x+12x+72=6  ⟹  52x=52  ⟹  x=12x + \frac{1}{2}x + \frac{7}{2} = 6 \implies \frac{5}{2}x = \frac{5}{2} \implies x = 1
y=4y = 4
So M=(1,4)M = (1, 4).

3. Use the ratio of lengths to find the coordinates of $C$.

Since A,M,CA, M, C are collinear in that order, the vector MC⃗=3AM⃗\vec{MC} = 3\vec{AM}.
AM⃗=(1−04−6)=(1−2)\vec{AM} = \begin{pmatrix} 1 - 0 \\ 4 - 6 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ -2 \end{pmatrix}
MC⃗=3(1−2)=(3−6)\vec{MC} = 3 \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ -2 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ -6 \end{pmatrix}
OC⃗=OM⃗+MC⃗=(14)+(3−6)=(4−2)\vec{OC} = \vec{OM} + \vec{MC} = \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 4 \end{pmatrix} + \begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ -6 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 4 \\ -2 \end{pmatrix}
The coordinates of CC are (4,−2)(4, -2).

Answer

(4,−2)(4, -2)

9(iv)

1. Recall the coordinates of the vertices of the kite from earlier parts

From earlier parts, the coordinates of the vertices are A(0,6)A(0, 6), B(−5,1)B(-5, 1), C(4,−2)C(4, -2), and D(7,7)D(7, 7).

2. Apply the shoelace formula to find the area of the kite $ABCD$

Area=12∣0−547061−276∣=12∣(0(1)+(−5)(−2)+4(7)+7(6))−(6(−5)+1(4)+(−2)(7)+7(0))∣=12∣(0+10+28+42)−(−30+4−14+0)∣=12∣80−(−40)∣=12(120)=60\begin{aligned} \text{Area} &= \frac{1}{2} \left| \begin{matrix} 0 & -5 & 4 & 7 & 0 \\ 6 & 1 & -2 & 7 & 6 \end{matrix} \right| \\ &= \frac{1}{2} | (0(1) + (-5)(-2) + 4(7) + 7(6)) - (6(-5) + 1(4) + (-2)(7) + 7(0)) | \\ &= \frac{1}{2} | (0 + 10 + 28 + 42) - (-30 + 4 - 14 + 0) | \\ &= \frac{1}{2} | 80 - (-40) | \\ &= \frac{1}{2} (120) \\ &= 60 \end{aligned}
