Q. 24 Case Study: 2
Abhya was thrilled to know that the football tournament is fixed with a monthly timeframe
from 20th July to 20th August 2023 and for the first time in the FIFA Women’s World Cup’s
history, two nations host in 10 venues. Her father felt that the game can be better
understood if the position of players is represented as points on a coordinate plane.

central midfielder (D) if the position of other players who formed the parallelogram
are : A(1, 2), B(4, 3) and C (6, 6)

same straight line and B is midpoint of A and E, find the position of E.

iii) (a) Check if the Goal keeper G (-3, 5), Sweeper H (3, 1) and Wing-back K(0, 3) fall on a 2
same straight line.
OR

(b) Check if the Full-back J(5, -3) and centre-back I(-4, 6) are equidistant from forward C
(0, 1).
