- \(\Delta LMN \sim \Delta LQP\). In \(\Delta LMN\), LM = 3.6 cm, \(\angle L = 50^\circ\), LN = 4.2 cm and \(\dfrac{LM}{LQ} = \dfrac{4}{7}\). Construct \(\Delta LQP\). Answer: LQ = 6.3 cm, LP = 7.35 cm and ∠ QLP = 50^° ; construct the triangle from these. From the similarity L ↔ L, M ↔ Q, N ↔ P, so LM/LQ =... 1
- To find the width of the river, a man observes the top of a tree, on the opposite bank making an angle of elevation of 60°. When he moves 24 meter backward from bank and observes the same top of the tree, his line of vision makes an angle of elevatio… Answer: width of the river = 12 m, height of the tree = 20.76 m Let the height of the tree be h and the width of the river be w . From the b... 1
- The diameter of circular garden is 13 meter. The distance between two gates of garden is 13 meter. An electric pole is to be erected on the circumference of the garden such that the difference between distance of the pole from each gate is 7 meter.
