If cos(45° + x) = sin 30°, then x = ?

If sec A = `x + 1/(4x)`, then show that sec A + tan A = 2x or `1/(2x)`

In the above figure `square`ABCD is a rectangle. If AB = 5, AC = 13, then complete the following activity to find BC.

Activity: ΔABC is a `square` triangle.

∴ By Pythagoras theorem

AB² + BC² = AC²

∴ 25 + BC² = `square`

∴ BC² = `square`

∴ BC = `square`

Construct two concentric circles with centre O with radii 3 cm and 5 cm. Construct a tangent to a smaller circle from any point A on the larger circle. Measure and write the length of the tangent segment. Calculate the length of the tangent segment using Pythagoras' theorem.

In the right-angled triangle ABC, Hypotenuse AC = 10 and side AB = 5, then what is the measure of ∠A?

If tan θ = `12/5`, then 5 sin θ – 12 cos θ = ?

From the information in the figure, complete the following activity to find the length of the hypotenuse AC.

AB = BC = `square`

∴ ∠BAC = `square`

Side opposite angle 45° = `square/square` × Hypotenuse

∴ `5sqrt(2) = 1/square` × AC

∴ AC = `5sqrt(2) xx square = square`

AB, BC and AC are three sides of a right-angled triangle having lengths 6 cm, 8 cm and 10 cm, respectively. To verify the Pythagoras theorem for this triangle, fill in the boxes:

ΔABC is a right-angled triangle and ∠ABC = 90°.

So, by the Pythagoras theorem,

`square` + `square` = `square`

Substituting 6 cm for AB and 8 cm for BC in L.H.S.

`square` + `square` = `square` + `square`

= `square` + `square`

= `square`

Substituting 10 cm for AC in R.H.S.

`square` = `square`

= `square`

Since, L.H.S. = R.H.S.

Hence, the Pythagoras theorem is verified.

There is a ladder of length 32 m which rests on a pole. If the height of pole is 18 m, determine the distance between the foot of ladder and the pole.
