Pythagoras Theorem

1.) In the figures below, find the value of ‘x’.

ANS:

(i)

Here given that,

l (LM) = 7 and l(MN) = 24

We have to find l (LN) =?

4.) The top of a ladder of length 15 m reaches a window 9 m above the ground. What is the distance between the base of the wall and that of the ladder?

ANS:

Given that,

The top of a ladder of length 15 m reaches a window 9 m above the ground.

This is a Right angled figure.

The top of a ladder of length 15 m. is the largest side which is called as Hypotaneous.

Hypotaneous of a figure = 15 m.

(Base) 2 = 225 – 81

(Base) 2 = 144

Base = 12 m.

The distance between the base of the wall and that of the ladder is 12m.
