= (24)² + (10)² = 576 + 100 = 676 = (26)²
AB = 26 m

Height above the ground = 24 m
RS Aggarwal Class 10 Solutions Chapter 4 Triangles MCQS 7
Let its foot is x m away from the foot of building.
In right ∆ABC,
AB² = AC² + BC² (Pythagoras Theorem)
(25)² = (24)² + x²
⇒ 625 = 576 + x²
⇒ x² = 625 – 576 = 49 = (7)²
x = 7
Distance = 7 m

Question 7.
Solution:
(b) O is a point inside ∆MNP such that
MOP = 90°, OM = 16 cm, OP = 12 cm.
If MN = 21 cm ∠NMP = 90°, then NP = ?
Let MP = x Now, in right ∆MOP,
∠O = 90°
MP² = OM² + OP² (Pythagoras Theorem)
= (16)² + (12)² = 256 + 144 = 400 = (20)²
MP = 20 cm
Now, in right ∆MNP, ∠M = 90°
NP² = MN² + MP²
= (21)² + (20)² = 441 + 400 = 841 = (29)²
NP = 29 cm

Question 8.
Solution:
(b) Let ∆ABC is a right angled triangle with ∠B = 90°
AC = 25 cm
Let one side AB of the other two sides = x cm
then second side BC = (x + 5) cm
According to the Pythagoras Theorem,
AC² = AB² + BC²
(25)² = x² + (x + 5)²
625 = x² + x² + 10x + 25
⇒ 2x² + 10x + 25 – 625 = 0
⇒ 2x² + 10x – 600 = 0
⇒ x² + 5x – 300 = 0
⇒ x² + 20x – 15x – 300 = 0
⇒ x (x + 20) – 15 (x + 20) = 0
⇒ (x + 20)(x – 15) = 0
Either x + 20 = 0, then x = -20 which is not possible being negative,
or x – 15 = 0, then x = 15
First side = 15 cm
and second side = 15 + 5 = 20 cm
