Question

point b and c are on the opposite edges of a pond . find the length of the pond , a student of a class X makes a right triangle using a rope connecting a point b with anotther point a at a distance of 24 cm from it and connecting point c to a point at the distance of 60 cm from c and then connecting d to the point a , which is at the distance of 80 cm from it such that angle ADC = 90

Answer 1

Explanation:

It sounds like you have a right triangle with one angle of 90 degrees and the lengths of the sides are 24 cm, 60 cm, and 80 cm. If this is the case, then you can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse, which is the side opposite the right angle.

The Pythagorean theorem states that the square of the length of the hypotenuse (c) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides (a and b). In this case, we have:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

c^2 = 24^2 + 60^2

c^2 = 576 + 3600

c^2 = 4176

c = 64.47214

So the length of the hypotenuse, or the length of the pond, is approximately 64.47214 cm.
