प्रश्न
Points A and B are on the opposite edges of a pond as shown in figure. To find the distance between the two points, the surveyor makes a right-angled triangle as shown. Find the distance AB.
उत्तर
Since, ΔACD is a right angled triangle.
In right angled AADC, by Pythagoras theorem,
(AC)2 = (AD)2 + (CD)2
⇒ (AC)2 + (30)2 + (40)2 ......[∵ AD = 30 cm and CD = 40 cm, given]
⇒ (AC)2 = 900 + 1600
⇒ (AC)2 = 2500
⇒ AC = `sqrt(2500)`
∴ AC = 50 m
Now, AB = AC – BC = 50 – 12 = 38 m
Hence, the distance AB is 38 m.
