Problem

A rectangular park is represented on a coordinate grid where the centre of a circular fountain is placed at the origin O(0,0)O(0,0). A bench BB is situated 8 m east of the fountain and a lamp post LL is 6 m north of the fountain. A dustbin DD is located 10 m west of the fountain and 6 m south of the lamp post. (i) Assign suitable ordered pairs to the points B,LB, L and DD. (ii) Identify the quadrant in which each of the points B,LB, L and DD lies. (iii) Find the distance between the bench and the lamp post. (iv) Determine whether the points B,LB, L and DD can be the vertices of a right-angled triangle. Show your working clearly.
