Answer :
Consider a right angled ∆AOB, such that C is the mid–point of hypotenuse AB.
We have O → (0, 0)
Since A lies on y-axis, A→ (0, y)
and B lies on x-axis, B→ (x, 0)
Using mid–point formula, coordinates of C are
Using distance formula,
AC =
=
=
=
=
BC =
=
=
=
=
We know that distance of a point P (x,y) from origin O (0, 0) is given as OP =
∴ OC =
=
=
We can observe that OA = OB = OC.
∴ C (mid–point of hypotenuse AB) is equidistant from all the three vertices of the right angled ∆AOB.
