The extremities of a diagonal of a rectangle are (0.0) and (4, 4). The locus of the extremities of the other diagonal is equal to

A

`x^(2) +y^(2) - 4x - 4y = 0`

B

`x^(2)+y^(2)+4x +4y - 4 = 0`

C

`x^(2)+y^(2)+4x +4y +4 = 0`

D

`x^(2)+y^(2) - 4x - 4y - 4 = 0`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Rectangle ABCD has vertices `A(0,0)` and `D(4,4)`. Let B is `(h,k)`
`AB _|_ BC`
`:. (k)/(h).(k-4)/(h-4) =-1`
`:.`The locus of the exterminates of the other diagonal is
`(x-0) (x-4) +(y-4)(y-0) =0`
or `x^(2)+y^(2) -4x -4y = 0`
