उत्तर


Take the sides of a right angled triangle ∆ABC as

a = 7 inches

b = 25 inches

c = ?

By Pythagoras theorem,

b2 = a2 + c2

252 = 72 + c2

⇒ c2 = 252 – 72

= 625 – 49 = 576

∴ c2 = 242

⇒ c = 24 inches

∴ Width of TV cabinet is 20 inches which is lesser than the width of the screen ie. 24 inches.

∴ The TV will not fit into the cabinet.

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, how 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?
