Q) From an external point P, two tangents, PA and PB are drawn to a circle with centre O. At a point E on the circle, a tangent is drawn to intersect PA and PB at C and D, respectively. If PA = 10 cm, find the perimeter of ∆PCD. Ans: Let’s draw a diagram and
Q) ABCD is a parallelogram. Point P divides AB in the ratio 2:3 and point Q divides DC in the ratio 4:1. Prove that OC is half of OA. Ans: Given that ABCD is a parallelogram. Therefore, AB ǁ CD and BC ǁ AD Since, Point P divides AB in the ratio 2:3 Therefore, if
Q) Prove that √2 is an irrational number. Ans: Let us assume that √2 is a rational number Let √2 = ; where q ≠ 0 and let p, q are co-primes. 2q2 = p2………………. (i) It means p2 is divisible by 2 p is divisible by 2 Hence, we can write that p = 2a,
Q) In a pool at an aquarium, a dolphin jumps out of the water travelling at 20 cm per second. Its height above water level after t seconds is given by: h = 20t – 16t2. Based on the above, answer the following questions:(i) Find zeroes of polynomial p(t) = 20t – 16t².(ii) Which of
Q) A middle school decided to run the following spinner game as a fund-raiser on Christmas Carnival. Making Purple: Spin each spinner once. Blue and red make purple. So, if one spinner shows Red (R) and another Blue (B), then you ‘win’. One such outcome is written as ‘RB’.Based on the above, answer the following
Q) A golf ball is spherical with about 300 – 500 dimples that help increase its velocity while in play. Golf balls are traditionally white but available in colours also. In the given figure, a golf ball has diameter 4.2 cm and the surface has 315 dimples (hemi-spherical) of radius 2 mm. Based on the
Q) A horse is tied to a peg at one corner of a square shaped grass field of side 15 m by means of a 5 m long rope. Find the area of that part of the field in which the horse can graze. Also, find the increase in grazing area if length of rope is
