Example 4.

20 An insect 8 m away initially from the foot of a lamp post which is 6 m tall, crawls towards
it moving through a distance. If its distance from the top of the lamp post is equal to the distance it has
moved, how far is the insect away from the foot of the lamp post?

Example 4.22 What length of ladder is needed to reach a height of 7 ft along the wall when the base of
the ladder is 4 ft from the wall? Round off your answer to the next tenth place.

Example 4.23 An Aeroplane after take off from an airport and flies due north at a speed of 1000 km/hr.
At the same time, another aeroplane take off from the same airport and flies due west at a speed of
1200 km/hr. How far apart will be the two planes after 1½ hours?

alternate segment.

Example 4.31 Draw a circle of diameter 6 cm from a point P, which is 8 cm away from its centre. Draw
the two tangents PA and PB to the circle and measure their lengths.

Example 4.34 In a garden containing several trees, three particular trees P, Q, R are located in the
following way, BP = 2 m, CQ = 3 m, RA = 10 m, PC = 6 m, QA = 5 m, RB = 2 m, where A, B, C are points
such that P lies on BC, Q lies on AC and R lies on AB. Check whether the trees P, Q, R lie on a same
straight line.
