Step-by-step explanation:
Draw perpendicular OA and OB on RS and SM respectively.
Let R,S and M be the position of Reshma, Salma and Mandip respectively.
AR=AS=26=3 cm
OR=OS=OM=5 m [radii of circle]
In △OAR
OA2+AR2=OR2
OA2+32=52
OA=25−9
OA=4 m
We know that in an isosceles triangle altitude divides the base ,
So, in △RSM
∠RCS=90o
RC=CM
Area of △ORS=21×OA×RS
21×RC×OS=21×4×6
RC×5=24
RC=4.8 m
RM=2RC=2×4.8=9.6 m
So, distance between Reshma and Mandip is 9.6 m
