उत्तर
In ∆ABC, AD ⊥ BC, and BD = 3CD ...(Given)
In ∆ADC, ∠ADC = 90°
By Pythagoras’ theorem,
AC2 = AD2 + CD2
2AC2 = 2AD2 − 2CD2 ...(1) [Multiplied by 2]
In ∆ADB, ∠ADB = 90°
by Pythagoras’ theorem,
AB2 = AD2 + BD2
2AB2 = 2AD2 + 2BD2 ...(2) [Multiplied by 2]
Subtracting equation (1) from (2)
2AB2 − AC2 = (2AD2 + 2BD2) − (2AD2 + 2CD2)
= 2AD2 + 2BD2 − 2AD2 − 2CD2
= 2(3CD)2 − 2CD2
= 2 × 9CD2 − 2CD2 ...[Given]
= 18CD2 − 2CD2
= 16CD2
∴ 2AB2 − 2AC2 = 16CD2 ...(3)
BC = CD + DB [C−D−B]
BC = CD + 3CD = 4CD
BC2 = 16 CD2 ...(4) [squaring both sides]
From (3) & (4)
2AB2 − 2AC2 = BC2
∴ 2AB2 = 2AC2 + BC2

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?
