In Figure AB denotes the height of the building, BD the flagstaff and P the given point. Note that there are two right triangles PAB and PAD. We are required to find the length of the flagstaff, i.e., DB and the distance of the building from the point P, i.e., PA.
Since, we know the height of the building AB, we will first consider the right \(\Delta\) PAB.
We have \(\tan 30^{\circ}=\frac{\mathrm{AB}}{\mathrm{AP}}\)
i.e., \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{10}{\mathrm{AP}}\)
Therefore, \(\mathrm{AP}=10 \sqrt{3}\)
i.e., the distance of the building from P is 10 \(\sqrt3\) m = 17.32 m.
Next, let us suppose DB = x m. Then AD = (10 + x) m.
Now, in right Δ PAD, \(\tan 45^{\circ}=\frac{\mathrm{AD}}{\mathrm{AP}}=\frac{10+x}{10 \sqrt{3}}\)
Therefore, \(1=\frac{10+x}{10 \sqrt{3}}\)
i.e., \(x=10(\sqrt{3}-1)=7.32\)
So, the length of the flagstaff is 7.32 m.

LHS = \(\frac { \cos { A } -\sin { A } +1 }{ \cos { A } +\sin { A } -1 } \)
On dividing numerator and denominator by sin A, we get
\(=\frac { \frac { \cos { A } }{ \sin { A } } -\frac { \sin { A } }{ \sin { A } } +\frac { 1 }{ \sin { A } } }{ \frac { \cos { A } }{ \sin { A } } +\frac { \sin { A } }{ \sin { A } } -\frac { 1 }{ \sin { A } } } =\frac { \cot { A } -1+cosecA }{ \cot { A } +1-1cosecA } \) \(\left[ \because \cot { A } =\frac { \cos { \theta } }{ \sin { \theta } } and\frac { 1 }{ \sin { \theta } } =cosec \theta \right] \)
\(=\frac { \cot { A } +cosecA-1 }{ \cot { A } +1-1cosecA } \)
\(=\frac { (\cot { A } +cosecA)-({ cosec }^{ 2 }A-\cot ^{ 2 }{ A } ) }{ \cot { A } +1-1cosecA } \left[ \because 1={ cosec }^{ 2 }A-\cot ^{ 2 }{ A } \right] \)
\(=\frac { (\cot { A } +cosecA)-\left[ (\cot { A } +cosecA)(\cot { A } -cosecA) \right] }{ \cot { A } +1-1cosecA } \) \(\left[ \because \quad { a }^{ 2 }-{ b }^{ 2 }=(a+b)(a-b) \right] \)
\(=\frac { (\cot { A } +cosecA)-\left[ 1-(cosecA-\cot { A } ) \right] }{ \cot { A } +1-1cosecA } \)
\(\quad =\frac { (\cot { A } +cosecA)-\left[ 1-cosecA+\cot { A } \right] }{ \cot { A } +1-1cosecA } \)
\(=cosecA+\cot { A } =RHS\)
Hence proved.

Let AB=h m be the height of the tower. Let C is point on ground and AD=5 m be height of flag staff .
Let BC=x m, ㄥACB=45o and ㄥDCB=60o
Consider rt . angled ∆ABC, we have
\(\frac { AB }{ BC } \)=tan450
⇒ \(\frac { h }{ x } \)=1 ⇒ h=x
\(\frac { BD }{ BC } \)=tan60o
⇒ \(\frac { h+5 }{ x } =\sqrt { 3 } \)
⇒ h+5=\(\sqrt { 3 } \)
⇒ h+5=\(\sqrt { 3 } \)h [∵ from (i), h=x]
5=\(\sqrt { 3 } \)h-h
⇒ h(\(\sqrt { 3 } \)-1)=5
⇒ h=\(\frac { 5 }{ \sqrt { 3 } -1 } \times \frac { \sqrt { 3 } +1 }{ \sqrt { 3 } +1 } \)
=\(\frac { 5(\sqrt { 3 } +1) }{ 3-1 } =\frac { 5(1.732+1) }{ 2 } \)
=\(\frac { 5\times 2.732 }{ 2 } \)=5 x 1.366

\end{array}\)
\(\begin{array}{llrl}
\text { In } \triangle A C D, & \tan 60^{\circ} =\frac{A C}{C D}
\end{array}\)
\(\begin{array}{llrl}
\Rightarrow \sqrt{3} =\frac{A B+B C}{C D} \\
\end{array}\)
\(\begin{array}{llrl}
\Rightarrow \sqrt{3} =\frac{A B+20}{20} \\
\end{array}\)
\(\Rightarrow A B =20 \sqrt{3}-20=20(\sqrt{3}-1) \mathrm{m}\)
Thus, the height of the tower is \(20(\sqrt{3}-1) \mathrm{m}\).

We are given two concentric circles C1 and C2 with centre O and a chord AB of the larger circle C1 which touches the smaller circle C2 at the point P (see Fig). We need to prove that AP = BP.

Let us join OP. Then, AB is a tangent to C2 at P and OP is its radius. Therefore, by Theorem.
OP \(\perp\) AB
Now AB is a chord of the circle C1 and OP \(\perp\) AB. Therefore, OP is the bisector of the chord AB, as the perpendicular from the centre bisects the chord,
i.e., AP = BP

Similarly, we have
\(\begin{aligned} 2(\angle 1+\angle 8+\angle 4+\angle 5) & =360^{\circ} \\ \end{aligned}\) [from Eq. (i) and (ii)]
\(\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow(\angle 1+\angle 8)+(\angle 4+\angle 5)=180^{\circ} \\ \end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned} \Rightarrow \quad \angle A O D+\angle B O C=180^{\circ} \end{aligned}\) Hence proved.

\(=\frac{\cos A\left(\frac{1}{\sin A}-1\right)}{\cos A\left(\frac{1}{\sin A}+1\right)}=\frac{\left(\frac{1}{\sin A}-1\right)}{\left(\frac{1}{\sin A}+1\right)}=\frac{\operatorname{cosec} A-1}{\operatorname{cosec} A+1}=\operatorname{RHS}\)

Distance covered in 5000 revolutions = 11 km.
Distance covered in 1 revolution
Distance covered in 1 revolution \(={11000\over 5000}m={11\over 5}m\)
Distance covered in 1 revolution = circumference of the wheel
\(\Rightarrow\)\(2\ \pi r ={11\over 5} \Rightarrow 2\times {22\over 7}\times r = {11\over 5}\)
\(\Rightarrow\) \(r \Rightarrow {11\over 5}\times 7\times {1\over 2\times 22}={7\over 20}m\)
\(\therefore\) Diameter \(=2\times r=2\times {7\over 20}={7\over 10}\times 100 cm=70cm\)

Given, radius of a circle, AO = 10 cm and \(\angle\)AOC = 90°
Area of \(\triangle A O C=\frac{1}{2} \times O A \times O C=\frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times 10=50 \mathrm{~cm}^2\)
\(\begin{aligned} \text { Area of sector } O A E C O & =\frac{\theta}{360^{\circ}} \times \pi r^2 \\ \end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned} =\frac{90^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}} \times 3.14 \times(10)^2 \\ \end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned} =\frac{314}{4}=78.5 \mathrm{~cm}^2 \end{aligned}\)

(i) Area of minor segment AECDA
= Area of sector OAECO - Area of \(\Delta\)AOC
= 78.5 - 50 = 28.5 cm2
(ii) Area of major sector OAFGCO
= Area of circle - Area of sector OAECO
= 3.14 \(\times\)(10)2 - 78.5
= 314 - 78.5 = 235.5 cm2

We know that in 1 hour (i.e., 60 minutes), the minute hand rotates 360°.
In 5 minutes, minute hand will rotate = 360^@/60xx5 = 30^@
Therefore, the area swept by the minute hand in 5 minutes will be the area of a sector of 30° in a circle of 14 cm radius.
Area of sector of angle θ = \(\frac{\theta}{360^{\circ}} \times \pi r^{2}\)
Area of sector of 30° \(=\frac{30^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 14 \times 14\)
\(\begin{array}{l} =\frac{22}{12} \times 2 \times 14 \\ =\frac{11 \times 14}{3} \end{array}\)
=154/3 cm2
Therefore, the area swept by the minute hand in 5 minutes is 154/3 cm2

Let BC = 50 m be the height of the tower and AD = h m be the height of the building. Angle of elevation of the top of the building from the foot of the tower is \(\angle\)DBA = 30° and angle of elevation of the top of the tower from the foot of the building \(\angle\)CAB = 60°. Also, let AB = x m be the distance between foots of the tower and the building.
In right angled \(\Delta\)BAD, tan 30°=\(\frac{P}{B}=\frac{A D}{A B}\)
\(\begin{array}{lll}
\Rightarrow & \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{h}{x} & {\left[\because \tan 30^{\circ}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right]} \\
\end{array}\)
\(\begin{array}{lll}
\Rightarrow & b=\frac{x}{\sqrt{3}}
\end{array}\) ...(i)
and in right angled \(\Delta\)CBA, tan 60° = \(\frac{B C}{A B}\)
\(\begin{array}{lll}
\Rightarrow & \sqrt{3}=\frac{50}{x} & {\left[\because \tan 60^{\circ}=\sqrt{3}\right]} \\
\end{array}\)
\(\begin{array}{lll}
\Rightarrow & x=\frac{50}{\sqrt{3}} \mathrm{~m}
\end{array}\)
On putting \(x=\frac{50}{\sqrt{3}}\) in Eq. (i), we get
\(h=\frac{50}{\sqrt{3}} \times \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{50}{3}=16 \frac{2}{3} \mathrm{~m}\)
Hence, the height of the building is \(16 \frac{2}{3} \mathrm{~m}\).

(i) (c): Area of the region containing blue colour
\(=\frac{22}{7} \times 5 \times 5 \times \frac{80^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}}-\frac{22}{7} \times 3 \times 3 \times \frac{80^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}}\)
\(=\frac{22}{7} \times \frac{2}{9} \times[25-9]=\frac{44}{63}(16)=11.17 \mathrm{~cm}^{2}\)
(ii) (b) : Area of the region containing green colour
\(=\frac{22}{7} \times \frac{60^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}}[5 \times 5-3 \times 3]=\frac{22}{7} \times \frac{1}{6} \times 16=8.38 \mathrm{~cm}^{2}\)
(iii) (d): Perimeter of the region containing red colour
= 2 + 2 + length of arc of sector having radius 3 cm + length of arc of sector having radius 5 cm.
\(=4+2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 3 \times \frac{20^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}}+2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 5 \times \frac{20^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}}\)
\(=4+\frac{44}{7} \times \frac{1}{18} \times 8=4+\frac{176}{63}=4+2.79=6.79 \mathrm{~cm}\)
(iv) (a): Required area \(=\frac{22}{7} \times 3 \times 3 \times \frac{160^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}}\)
\(=\frac{88}{7}=12.57 \mathrm{~cm}^{2}\)
(v) (a): Angle of given sector = 800 + 600 + 200 = 1600
Thus, the given region represents minor sector of a circle.
44.
(i) (b):

Here, OS the is radius of circle.
Since radius at the point of contact is perpendicularto tangent.
So, \(\angle\)OSA = 90°
(ii) (d): Since, length of tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal.
\(\therefore\) AS=AP,BP=BQ,
CQ = CR and DR = DS
(iii) (a): AP = AS = AD _ DS = AD _ DR (Using (1)
= 11 - 7 = 4 cm
(iv) (b): In quadrilateral OQCR,

\(\angle\)QCR = 60° (Given)
And \(\angle\)OQC = \(\angle\)ORC = 90° [Since, radius at the point of contact is perpendicular to tangent.]
\(\therefore\) \(\angle\)QOR = 360° - 90° - 90° - 60° = 120°
(v) (c): From (1), we have AS = AP, DS = DR,
BQ = BP and CQ = CR
Adding all above equations, we get
AS + DS + BQ + CQ = AP + DR + BP + CR
\(\Rightarrow\) AD + BC = AB + CD

(i) (b): The person who makes small angle of elevation is more closer to the balloon.
\(\therefore\) Radlra is more closer to the balloon.
(ii) (b): \(\text { In } \Delta E F D, \tan 30^{\circ}=\frac{E D}{D F}\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{h}{D F} \)
\(\Rightarrow \quad D F=h \sqrt{3} \mathrm{~m}\)
(iii) (a): In \(\Delta\)GCE,
\(\begin{array}{l}
\tan 60^{\circ}=\frac{E C}{G C}=\frac{h+4}{D F} \\
\Rightarrow \quad \sqrt{3}=\frac{h+4}{\sqrt{3} h} \Rightarrow 3 h=h+4 \Rightarrow h=2
\end{array}\)
(iv) (c): Height of the balloon from the ground = BE = BC + CD + DE = 2 + 4 + 2 = 8 m
