उत्तर
Let the length of the ladder be x m.
In right angled ΔABC,
AC2 = AB2 + BC2 ...[By Pythagoras theorem]
⇒ (x)2 = (8)2 + (6)2
⇒ `sqrt((8)^2 + (6)^2)` = `sqrt(64 + 36)` = `sqrt(100)`
⇒ x = 10 m
Hence, the length of the ladder is 10 m.

In the right-angled ∆PQR, ∠ P = 90°. If l(PQ) = 24 cm and l(PR) = 10 cm, find the length of seg QR.
In the given figure. PQ = PS, P =R = 90°. RS = 20 cm and QR = 21 cm. Find the length of PQ correct to two decimal places.
In a right angled triangle, the hypotenuse is the greatest side
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)`
