प्रश्न
There are two paths that one can choose to go from Sarah’s house to James's house. One way is to take C street, and the other way requires to take B street and then A street. How much shorter is the direct path along C street?
उत्तर
Distance between Sarah’s House and James’s House using “C street”.
AC2 = AB2 + BC2
= 22 + 1.52
= 4 + 2.25
= 6.25
AC = `sqrt(6.25)`
AC = 2.5 miles
Distance covered by using “A Street” and “B Street”
= (2 + 1.5) miles
= 3.5 miles
Difference in distance = 3.5 miles – 2.5 miles = 1 mile

To get from point A to point B you must avoid walking through a pond. You must walk 34 m south and 41 m east. To the nearest meter, how many meters would be saved if it were possible to make a way through the pond?
For going to a city B from city A, there is a route via city C such that AC ⊥ CB, AC = 2x km and CB = 2(x + 7) km. It is proposed to construct a 26 km highway which directly connects the two cities A and B. Find how much distance will be saved in reaching city B from city A after the construction of the highway.
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.
