प्रश्न
The top of a ladder of length 15 m reaches a window 9 m above the ground. What is the distance between the base of the wall and that of the ladder?
उत्तर
Let LN be the ladder of length 15 m that is resting against a wall. Let M be the base of the wall and L be the position of the window.
The window is 9 m above the ground. Now, MN is the distance between the base of the wall and that of the ladder.
In the right-angled triangle LMN, ∠M = 90°. Hence, side LN is the hypotenuse.
According to Pythagoras' theorem,
l(LN)2 = l(MN)2 + l(LM)2
⇒ (15)2 = l(MN)2 + (9)2
⇒ 225 = l(MN)2 + 81
⇒ l(MN)2 = 225 − 81
⇒ l(MN)2 = 144
⇒ l(MN)2 = (12)2
⇒ l(MN) = 12
∴ Length of seg MN = 12 m.
Hence, the distance between the base of the wall and that of the ladder is 12 m.

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)`
