प्रश्न
Foot of a 10 m long ladder leaning against a vertical wall is 6 m away from the base of the wall. Find the height of the point on the wall where the top of the ladder reaches.
उत्तर
Let AB be a vertical wall and AC = 10 m is a ladder.
The top of the ladder reaches to A and distance of ladder from the base of the wall BC is 6 m.
In right angled ΔABC,
AC2 = AB2 + BC2 ...[By pythagoras theorem]
⇒ (10)2 = AB2 + (6)2
⇒ 100 = AB2 + 36
⇒ AB2 = 100 – 36 = 64
∴ AB = `sqrt(64)` = 8 cm
Hence, the height of the point on the wall where the top of the ladder reaches is 8 cm.

From the given figure, in ∆ABQ, if AQ = 8 cm, then AB =?
From given figure, In ∆ABC, If AC = 12 cm. then AB =?
Activity: From given figure, In ∆ABC, ∠ABC = 90°, ∠ACB = 30°
∴ ∠BAC = `square`
∴ ∆ABC is 30° – 60° – 90° triangle
∴ In ∆ABC by property of 30° – 60° – 90° triangle.
∴ AB = `1/2` AC and `square` = `sqrt(3)/2` AC
∴ `square` = `1/2 xx 12` and BC = `sqrt(3)/2 xx 12`
∴ `square` = 6 and BC = `6sqrt(3)`
