Two poles of heights 6 m and 11 m stand vertically on a plane ground. If the distance between their feet is 12 m;
find the distance between their tips.
उत्तर
The diagram of the given problem is given below,
We have Pythagoras theorem which states that in a right-angled triangle, the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the remaining two sides.
Here, 11 - 6 = 5m ...( Since DC is perpendicular to BC )
base = 12 cm
Applying Pythagoras theorem we get,
hypotenuse2 = 52 + 122
h2 = 25 + 144
h2 = 169
h = 13
Therefore, the distance between the tips will be 13m.

Nazima is fly fishing in a stream. The tip of her fishing rod is 1.8 m above the surface of the water and the fly at the end of the string rests on the water 3.6 m away and 2.4 m from a point directly under the tip of the rod. Assuming that her string (from the tip of her rod to the fly) is taut, ho much string does she have out (see Figure)? If she pulls in the string at the rate of 5 cm per second, what will be the horizontal distance of the fly from her after 12 seconds?

If ‘l‘ and ‘m’ are the legs and ‘n’ is the hypotenuse of a right angled triangle then, l2 = ________
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)`
