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.
