उत्तर
Distance between Sarah’s House and James’s House using “C street”.
AC2 = AB2 + BC2
= 22 + 1.52
= 4 + 2.25
= 6.25
AC = `sqrt(6.25)`
AC = 2.5 miles
Distance covered by using “A Street” and “B Street”
= (2 + 1.5) miles
= 3.5 miles
Difference in distance = 3.5 miles – 2.5 miles = 1 mile

In a right-angled triangle ABC,ABC = 90°, AC = 10 cm, BC = 6 cm and BC produced to D such CD = 9 cm. Find the length of AD.
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)`
