उत्तर

Let the points (5, −2), (6, 4), and (7, −2) are representing the vertices A, B, and C of the given triangle respectively.

AB = `sqrt((5-6)^2+(-2-4)^2)`

= `sqrt((-1)^2+(-6)^2)`

= `sqrt(1+36)`

= `sqrt37`

BC = `sqrt((6-7)^2+(4-(-2))^2)`

= `sqrt((-1)^2+(6)^2)`

= `sqrt(1+36)`

= `sqrt37`

CA = `sqrt((5-7)^2+(-2-(-2))^2)`

= `sqrt((-2)^2+0^2)`

= `sqrt(4+0)`

= 2

Therefore, AB = BC ≠ CA

As two sides are equal in length, therefore, ABC is an isosceles triangle.

Case Study

Trigonometry in the form of triangulation forms the basis of navigation, whether it is by land, sea or air. GPS a radio navigation system helps to locate our position on earth with the help of satellites.
A guard, stationed at the top of a 240 m tower, observed an unidentified boat coming towards it. A clinometer or inclinometer is an instrument used for measuring angles or slopes(tilt). The guard used the clinometer to measure the angle of depression of the boat coming towards the lighthouse and found it to be 30°.

  1. Make a labelled figure on the basis of the given information and calculate the distance of the boat from the foot of the observation tower.
  2. After 10 minutes, the guard observed that the boat was approaching the tower and its distance from tower is reduced by 240(`sqrt(3)` - 1) m. He immediately raised the alarm. What was the new angle of depression of the boat from the top of the observation tower?

Read the following passage:

Alia and Shagun are friends living on the same street in Patel Nagar. Shagun's house is at the intersection of one street with another street on which there is a library. They both study in the same school and that is not far from Shagun's house. Suppose the school is situated at the point O, i.e., the origin, Alia's house is at A. Shagun's house is at B and library is at C.

Based on the above information, answer the following questions.

  1. How far is Alia's house from Shagun's house?
  2. How far is the library from Shagun's house?
  3. Show that for Shagun, school is farther compared to Alia's house and library.
    OR
    Show that Alia’s house, shagun’s house and library for an isosceles right triangle.
