12. A(8, 2) and B(6, 4) are the vertices of a figure which is symmetrical about x = 6 and y = 2. Complete the figure and give the geometrical name of the figure.

Solution:-

Steps for marking the points on graph:

1. As per the given data plot the points and on the graph.

2. Then plot point M whose vertices are and .

3. Condition given the question, taking P as the point of symmetry.

4. So, point symmetric to in the line is

5. Point symmetric to in the line is

6. Now join AP, PC, BP and PD

By using the distance formula,

   

   

   

   

Then,

   

   

   

   

So, from Pythagoras theorem

   

   

   

   

Therefore,

Hence, it is clear that AB = BC = CD = DA, AC and BD bisect each other at right angles, so ABCD is a square.
