प्रश्न
Jayanti takes shortest route to her home by walking diagonally across a rectangular park. The park measures 60 metres × 80 metres. How much shorter is the route across the park than the route around its edges?

उत्तर
As the park is rectangular, all the angles area of 90°
In right angled ΔABC,
AC2 = AB2 + BC2 ...[By Pythagoras theorem]
⇒ AC2 = (60)2 + (80)2 = 3600 + 6400
⇒ AC2 = 10000
⇒ AC = `sqrt(10000)`
⇒ AC = 100 m
If she goes through AB and AC, then the total distance covered = (60 + 80) m = 140 m
∴ Difference between two paths = (140 – 100) m = 40 m.

PQR is an isosceles triangle with PQ = PR = 10 cm and QR = 12 cm. Find the length of the perpendicular from P to QR.
From given figure, In ∆ABC, If AC = 12 cm, then AB = ?
Activity: From given figure, In ∆ABC, ∠ABC = 90°, ∠ACB = 30°
∴ ∠BAC = `square`
∴ ∆ABC is 30° – 60° – 90° triangle.
∴ In ∆ABC by property of 30° – 60° – 90° triangle.
∴ AB = `1/2` AC and `square` = `sqrt(3)/2` AC
∴ `square` = `1/2 xx 12` and BC = `sqrt(3)/2 xx 12`
∴ `square` = 6 and BC = `6sqrt(3)`
