a peacock is sitting on the top of a pillar which is 9 metre high. from a point 27 M 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 pounces on it. if their speeds are equal, at what distance from the hole is the snake caught?
anaya9:
ans is 12m
speed is equal and distance is equal
let distance covered by each of them = x metre
I have sent the solution
now applied Pythagoras theorem
why r u teaching me?
value of x= 15m
so what I know
(27-x)= 27-15=12m

If if there is a same distance covered by them in time t would also be same.
let it be X m.

Step-by-step explanation:
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.
