Question 14 Marks

Rohan wants to measure the distance of a pond during the visit to his native. He marks points A and B on the opposite edges of a pond as shown in the figure below. To find the distance between the points, he makes a right-angled triangle using rope connecting B with another point C are a distance of 12m, connecting C to point D at a distance of 40m from point C and the connecting D to the point A which is are a distance of 30m from D such the $\angle ADC=90^0.$
  1. Which property of geometry will be used to find the distance AC?
  2. Find the length AB?
  3. Which is the following does not form a Pythagoras triplet?

    Find the length of the rope used.
Answer
1. Pythagoras Theorem2. 38m
3. (21, 20, 28)
Or
82m

Question 44 Marks

Two hotels are at the ground level on either side of a mountain. On moving a certain distance towards the top of the mountain two huts are situated as shown in the figure. The ratio between the distance from hotel B to hut -2 and that of hut -2 to mountain top is 3 : 7.

Based on the above information, answer the following questions.
  1. What is the ratio of the perimeters of the triangle formed by both hotels and mountain top to the triangle formed by both huts and mountain top?
  2. What is the ratio of areas of two parts formed in the complete figure?
  3. The distance between the hotel A and hut -1 is ?
    Or
    lf the horizontal distance between the hut -1 and hut -2 is 8miles, then the distance between the two hotels is ?
Answer
1. 10 : 72. 49 : 51
3. 4.29 miles
Or
