The point P

    \[(3,4)\]

is reflected to P’ in the x-axis and O’ is the image of O (origin) in the line PP’. Find: (iii) the perimeter of the quadrilateral POP’O’.

According to the question:,

P’ is the image of P

    \[(3,4)\]

reflected in x- axis and O’ is the image of O the origin in the line P’P.

(iii) Perimeter of POP’O’ is (

    \[4\]

x OP) units.

Let Q be the point of intersection of diagonals OO’ and PP’.

So, OQ =

    \[3\]

units and OP =

    \[4\]

units

Hence,

    \[OP\text{ }=\text{ }\surd [{{\left( OQ \right)}^{2}}~+\text{ }{{\left( PQ \right)}^{2}}]\text{ }=\text{ }\surd \text{ }({{3}^{2}}~+\text{ }{{4}^{2}})\text{ }=\text{ }\surd \left( 9\text{ }+\text{ }16 \right)\text{ }=\text{ }\surd 25\text{ }=\text{ }5\]

units

Thus, the perimeter of POP’O’ =

    \[4\text{ }\times \text{ }5\text{ }=\text{ }20\]

units
