Question

34. A trapezoid field has parallel sided measuring 70 m and 20 m. A horse is tetheredat each
corner of the field with a rope of length 3.5 m. Find the area not grazed by the horses if
the perpendicular distance between the parallel sides is 28 m.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The width of the river = 7 m

The height of the tree = 11.4 m

Step-by-step explanation:

AC is the height of the tree

DE is the first position of the boy

GF is the another position of the boy

GF=DE

let

DB = x

GB = X+3

then,

tan 45° =

1=  

AB = x+3  

similarly

tan 55° =  

using tan 55° = 1.4281

1.4281 =  

AB= 1.4281(x)

using equation (1) and (2)

1.4281(x) = x+3

x= 7 m

putting the value of x in eq (1)

AB = x+3

AB = 7+3 = 10 m

then

The height of the tree = AB+BC

= 10 + 1.4 = 11.4 m

hence ,

The width of the river = 7 m

The height of the tree = 11.4 m
