- Diameter of circular park = 17 m
- Distance difference between pole and gate A , B = 7 m
- Distance from pole to gate
Let, P be the position of the pole and A and B be the opposite fixed gate .
In right ∆ APB ,
- PA = a
- PB = b
So, A/c to question,
- PA - PB = 7
Or,
- a - b = 7 .........(1)
In right ∆ APB ,
But, here
- Hypotenuse (AB) = 17
- Perpendicular (PA) = a
- Base (PB) = b
So,
keep value of a by equ(1),
- a = b + 7
But, length is always be positive
so, b = -15 negligible .
Hence, b = 8 is right value .
Keep value of b in equ(1),
- Distance from the gate A to pole P (PA) = 15 m
- Distance from the gate B to pole P (PB) = 8 m

Answer:
SOLUTION :-
.
Let P be the required location on the boundary of a circular park such that its distance from gate B is x metre that is BP x metres.
Then, AP = x + 7
In the right triangle ABP we have by using Pythagoras theorem
\
But the side of right triangle can never be negativeTherefore, x = 5
Hence,
P is at a distance of 5 metres from the gate B.
⇒ BP = 5m
Now,
AP = (BP + 7)m = (5 + 7)m = 12 m
∴ The pole has to be erected at a distance 5 mtrs from the gate B and 12 m from the gate A.
