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 triangle ABC right-angled at C, P and Q are the points on the sides CA and CB respectively, which divide these sides in the ratio 2 : 1. Prove that
`(i) 9 AQ^2 = 9 AC^2 + 4 BC^2`
`(ii) 9 BP^2 = 9 BC^2 + 4 AC^2`
`(iii) 9 (AQ^2 + BP^2 ) = 13 AB^2`
