Answer 2

Given :

★ A peacock is sitting on the top of the pillar, which is 9m high. From a point 27m away from the bottom of the pillar, A snake is coming to its hole at the base of the pillar. Seeing the snake the peacock ounces on it. If their speeds are equal.

ㅤㅤ

Find :

★ What distance from the hole is the snake caught.

ㅤㅤ

Concept :

★ As per the given question, the concept is finding the distance from a point to a certain point, so let us assume "x" as the difference between them.

ㅤㅤ

★ Remember that, the variable x is used here instead of word DISTANCE in our equations.

ㅤㅤ

Calculations :

→ 9² + (27)²

→ 81 + 729 + x - 54

→ 810/54

→ 15

ㅤㅤ

Finding the distance :

→ x = 15 - 3

→ x = 12 m

ㅤㅤ

★ Therefore, 12 meter is the distance from the hole.
