Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
It is a parrallelogram, the two lines are Parallel to each other meaning they will never cross each other
The given xy- plane is a parallelogram.
A plane figure is called a parallelogram when it have four sides, in which opposite sides are parallel to each other and each side is equal in length to its opposite side.
If [tex](x_{1},y_{1} })[/tex] and [tex](x_{2},y_{2})[/tex] are the two points then the distance between these points is given by
[tex]d=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1}) ^{2} +(y_{2}-y_{1} ) ^{2} }[/tex]
Where, d is the distance between two points.
According to the given question
We have a plane figure PSTO
And the coordinates of points P, S, T, and O are (a, b), (a + c, b), (c, 0) and (0,0) respectively.
Now, the length of the sides by distance formula
PS = [tex]\sqrt{(a-a-c)^{2}+(b-b)^{2} }[/tex]
PS = [tex]\sqrt{c^{2}+0 }[/tex]
PS = c
Similarly,
ST =[tex]\sqrt{(a+c-c)^{2}+(b-0)^{2} }[/tex]
ST = [tex]\sqrt{a^{2} +b^{2} }[/tex]
TO = [tex]\sqrt{(c-0)^{2}+(0-0)^{2} }[/tex]
TO = [tex]\sqrt{c^{2} }[/tex]
TO = c
And, PO = [tex]\sqrt{(a-0)^{2}+(b-0)^{2} }[/tex]
PO = [tex]\sqrt{a^{2} +b^{2} }[/tex]
From the above calculation we found that
PS = TO
PO = ST
⇒ Length of the opposite sides of the plane figure are equals.
And from the given figure we can see that the opposite sides are also parallel to each other.
Therefore, the given xy- plane is a parallelogram.
