उत्तर
Pythagoras theorem 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.
Since, ABCD is a rectangle angles A, B, C and D are rt. angles.
First, we consider the ΔACD, and applying Pythagoras theorem we get,
AC2 = DA2 + CD2 ....(i)
Similarly, we get from rt. angle triangle BDC we get,
BD2 = BC2 + CD2
= BC2 + AB2 ....[ In a rectangle, opposite sides are equal, ∴ CD = AB ] ...(ii)
Adding (i) and (ii)
AC2 + BD2 = AB2 + BC2 + CD2 + DA2
Hence proved.

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?
