with its sides parallel to the coordinate axes. The coordinates of its vertices are
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Let 
and 
be the sides of the square. The length of each diagonal of the square is equal to the diameter of the circle i.e. , 
. Let l be the length of each side of the square.
Then 2 l 2 =(Diagonal) 2 ⇒ ⇒ 
⇒ ⇒ l =14
Therefore each side of the square is at a distance 7 from the centre (1, –2) of the given circle. This implies that 
.
Therefore the vertices of the square are
