Question

A City school is organizing Annual sports event in a rectangular shaped ground ABCD. The tracks are being marked with a gap of 1m each in the form of straight lines. 120 flower pots are placed with a distance of 1 m each along AD. Shruti runs 1/3rd of the distance in the second line along AD and post her flag. Saanvi runs1/5th the distance AD in the eighth line and posts her flag. Distance between 2 flags are?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To conduct Sports Day activities, in your rectangular shaped school ground ABCD, lines have been drawn with chalk powder at a distance of 1m each. 100 flower pots have been placed at a distance of 1m from each other along AD, as shown in Fig. Niharika runs

the distance AD on the eighth line and posts a red flag.

(i) What is the distance between both the flags?

(ii) If Rashmi has to post a blue flag exactly halfway between the line segment joining the two flags, where should she post her flag?

Answer 2

Answer:

16.76m

Step-by-step explanation:

total length of AD is 120m( given that 120 flowerpots are placed with a distance of 1m each along AD).

now, Shruti ran 1/3 of 120 = 40m

saanvi ran 1/5 of 120m = 24m.

we need to calculate hypotenuse of a right angled triangle, for which the base is 5m(horizontal distance between 2 flags) and perpendicular is 16 m (vertical distance between two flags 40-24)

so, h² = p²+b²

h² = 16² + 5²

$\sqrt{ {5}^{2} + {16}^{2} }$

sq rt of 281

16.76m.
