Answer
a.Explanation
Here, we can see there are two right angles namely ABC and CDE. AE = AC + CE
So, we can apply Pythagoras theorem to find the hypotenuse
Question 20
Write in Short Short Answer▾
A board of 6 ft. 6 inches long is divided into 3 equal parts. What is the length of each part?
EditExplanation
So,
So, length of board =
Dividing this length into 3 equal parts, length of each part =
Hence, length of each divided part will be 26 inches or 2 ft. 4 inches.
Question 21
Write in Short Short Answer▾
Two people were walking in opposite directions. Both of them walked 6 miles forward then took right and walked 8 miles. How far is each from starting positions?
EditExplanation
- Two people are walking in opposite directions. Both of them walked 6 miles forward, then took right and walked 8 miles.
- Let A is the starting point of person 1. Point B is 6m right to the point A and C is 8m right to the point B. So, C is the ending position of person 1.
- Let P is the starting position of person 2. Point Q is 6m right to the point P and R is 8m right to the point Q. So, R is the ending position of person 2.
- Distance between starting and ending position of person 1, i.e.. distance AC can be found by Pythagoras theorem.
- Same way, distance between starting and ending position of person 2, i.e.. distance PR can be found by Pythagoras theorem.
- Hence, both people are 10 miles away from their starting position.
