Question
In the given figure, angle BAC = 90°, AC = 400 m, and AB = 300 m. Find the length of BC.
Solution
AC = 400 m
AB = 300 m
BC =?
According to Pythagoras Theorem,
BC2 = AB2 + AC2
BC2 = (300)2 + (400)2
BC2 = 90000 + 160000
BC2 = 250000
BC =`sqrt250000` = 500 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)`
