उत्तर
We have to find the distance between A(a cos 25°, 0) and B (0 , a cos 65° ) .
In general, the distance between A(x1 , y1 ) and B( x2 ,y2 ) is given by,
`AB = sqrt((x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2)`
So,
\[AB = \sqrt{\left( 0 - a\cos25° \right)^2 + \left( a\cos65° - 0 \right)^2}\]
\[ = \sqrt{\left( a\cos25° \right)^2 + \left( a\cos65° \right)^2}\]
But according to the trigonometric identity,
`sin^2 theta + cos^2 theta = 1`
Therefore,
AB = a

(Street Plan): A city has two main roads which cross each other at the centre of the city. These two roads are along the North-South direction and East-West direction.
All the other streets of the city run parallel to these roads and are 200 m apart. There are 5 streets in each direction. Using 1cm = 200 m, draw a model of the city on your notebook. Represent the roads/streets by single lines.
There are many cross- streets in your model. A particular cross-street is made by two streets, one running in the North - South direction and another in the East - West direction. Each cross street is referred to in the following manner : If the 2nd street running in the North - South direction and 5th in the East - West direction meet at some crossing, then we will call this cross-street (2, 5). Using this convention, find:
- how many cross - streets can be referred to as (4, 3).
- how many cross - streets can be referred to as (3, 4).
