उत्तर


Given,  AB = 24 cm, CD = 18 cm

⇒ AM = 12 cm, CN = 9 cm

Also, OA = OC = 15 cm

Let MO = y cm and ON = x cm

In right angled ∆AMO

(OA)2 = (AM)2 + (OM)2

⇒ 152 = 122 + y2

⇒ y2 = 152 – 122

⇒ y2 = 225 – 144

⇒ y2 = 81

⇒ y = 9 cm

In right angled ΔCON

(OC)2 = (ON)2 + (CN)2

⇒ 152 = x2 + 92

⇒ x2 = 152 – 92

⇒ x2 = 225 – 81

⇒ x2 = 144

⇒ y = 12 cm

Now, MN = MO + ON

= y + x

= 9 cm + 12 cm

= 21 cm
