प्रश्न
The foot of a ladder is 6 m away from its wall and its top reaches a window 8 m above the ground. If the ladder is shifted in such a way that its foot is 8 m away from the wall, to what height does its top reach?

उत्तर
Let the height of the top be x m.
In right angled ΔACB,
AC2 = AB2 + BC2 ...[By Pythagoras theorem]
⇒ AB2 = AC2 – BC2
⇒ x2 = (10)2 – (8)2 = 100 – 64
⇒ x = `sqrt(36)`
⇒ x = 6 m
Hence, the height of the top is 6 m.

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)`
