Question

$\huge\mathcal{Bonjour}$

__________________________

Hermione fixed a triangular tent of height 3m. She tied the ends of the tents to pegs fixed on the ground. What is the length of the tent from point A to point B if the distance between point A and B is 8 cm?


($\bf{Hint \: 1}$ : Assume that the sides of the tent are straight lines)


($\bf{Hint \: 2}$ : Use pythagorean theorem)

If you want to then only draw the figure.

Answer 1

$\huge\mathcal{Solution:- }$


$<b>$
Distance b/w both peg = 8cm.

=> Length of Mid Point from 1 peg = 4cm.


By Pythagoras Theorem,

$length \: of \: peg \: from \: tent = \sqrt{ {3}^{2} + {4}^{2} } \\ \\ = > {x} = \sqrt{9 + 16} \\ \\ = > x = \sqrt{25} \\ \\ = > x = 5cm$

Hence, The length of the tent from point A to point B is 5cm.

Answer 2

$elo \: dear \:$
❤
$distance \: between \: both \: = 8cm \\ lenght \: of \: mid \: point \: from \: 1peg \: = 4cm \\ \\ \\ by \: pythagoras \: theorem \\ lenght \: of \: peg \: from \: tent$
hopes ans will help uh ❤
