Find the distance between the points (0, 0) and (36, 15). Can you now find the distance between the two towns A and B discussed in Section 7.2.

Determine if the points (1, 5), (2, 3) and (– 2, – 11) are collinear

Check whether (5, – 2), (6, 4) and (7, – 2) are the vertices of an isosceles triangle.

In a classroom, 4 friends are seated at the points A, B, C and D as shown in Fig. 7.8. Champa and Chameli walk into the class and after observing for a few minutes Champa asks Chameli, “Don’t you think ABCD is a square?” Chameli disagrees. Using distance formula, find which of them is correct.
