1.
Let AB be the tree whose part AC breaks and touches the ground at D
Then, BD = \(2\sqrt { 3 } m\)
and AC = CD
In right angled \(\Delta \)CBD,
\(cos 60°=\frac { B }{ H } =\frac { BD }{ CD } \)
\(\Rightarrow \frac { 1 }{ 2 } =\frac { 2\sqrt { 3 } }{ CD } \)
\(\left[ \because cos 60°=\frac { 1 }{ 2 } and BD=2\sqrt { 3 } m \right] \)

\(\Rightarrow\) \(CD=2\times 2\sqrt { 3 } =4\sqrt { 3 } \)
\(=4\times 1.732=6.928\ m [\because \sqrt { 3 } =1.732]\)
\(\therefore\) AC = CD = 6.928 m
Again, in right angled \(\Delta \)CBD,
\(tan\quad 60°=\frac { P }{ B } =\frac { BC }{ BD } \)
\(\Rightarrow \sqrt { 3 } =\frac { BC }{ 2\sqrt { 3 } } [\because tan60°=\sqrt { 3 } and BD=2\sqrt { 3 } m]\)
\(\Rightarrow BC=\sqrt { 3 } \times 2\sqrt { 3 } =6 m\)
Now, AB = AC + BC
= 6.928 + 6 = 12.928 m (approx)
Hence, the height of the tree is 12.928 m.
2.
(i) Given, PA = PB = 8 m
We know that, tangents drawn from an external point to the circle are equal in length.

So, PA and PB are tangents.
Now, draw OP which bisects ㄥAPB and perpendicular to the chord AB.
ㄥAPC = ㄥBPC = 30°
and ㄥACP = ㄥBCP = 90°
In ΔACP, ㄥAPC + ㄥACP + ㄥPAC = 180°
30° + 90° + LPAC = 180°
ㄥPAC = 180° -120° = 60°
Similarly, ㄥPBC = 60°
Thus, ΔAPB is an equilateral triangle.
AB = AP = BP = 8 m
(ii) Given, OC = 3 m
We know that, if a perpendicular drawn from the centre of the circle to the chord of that circle, then it bisects the chord.
∴ \(AC=BC={AB\over 2}={8\over 2}=4\)
In right angled ΔACO,
OA2=AC2+OC2
OA2=(4)4+(3)2
⇒16+9=25
⇒ OA=5m
which is the radius of the circle.
(iii) Pythagoras theorem
(iv) Creating awareness and taking initiative.

Let AB=80 m be the width of the road. On both sides of the road, poles AE = BD = h m are standing. Let C be any point on AB such that from point C, angles of elevation are

\(\angle BCD=60°\), and \(\angle ACE=30°\).
Let BC = x m.
Then, AC = AB - BC = (80 - x)m
In right angled \(\Delta\)CAE, \(\tan 30^{\circ}=\frac{P}{B}=\frac{A E}{A C}\)
\(\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \quad \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{h}{80-x} \quad\left[\because \tan 30^{\circ}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right] \\ \end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \quad 80-x=h \sqrt{3} \Rightarrow h \sqrt{3}+x=80 \end{aligned}\) ...(i)
and in right angled \(\Delta\)CBD,
\(\tan 60^{\circ}=\frac{B D}{B C} \Rightarrow \sqrt{3}=\frac{h}{x} \quad\left[\because \tan 60^{\circ}=\sqrt{3}\right]\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad b=\sqrt{3 x}\) ...(ii)
On putting h=\(\sqrt3\)x in Eq. (i), we get
\(\begin{aligned} &\sqrt{3} x(\sqrt{3})+x=80 \Rightarrow 3 x+x=80\\ \end{aligned}\)
\(\Rightarrow\) \(\begin{aligned} &4 x=80 \Rightarrow x=20 \mathrm{~m} \end{aligned}\)
On putting x = 20 m in Eq. (ii), we get
\(h=20 \sqrt{3} \mathrm{~m}\)
Now, AC = 80 - x = 80 - 20 = 60 m
Hence, height of the poles is 20\(\sqrt3\)m and the distances of the point C from the poles are 60 m and 20 m.
4.
In the given figure, AB is the height of the pole and AC = 20 m is the length of rope which is tied from the top of the pole to the ground at point C.
In right angled \(\Delta ABC\) ,
\(sin30°=\frac { AB }{ AC } =\frac { AB }{ 20 } \)
⇒ \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } =\frac { AB }{ 20 } \Rightarrow AB=\frac { 20 }{ 2 } =10\quad m\)
Hence, the height of the pole is 10 m.
5.
- 5 + ( -8 ) + (-11) + .... + (-230)
Here, a = -5, an = -230
d = - 8 - ( - 5) = -3
an = a + ( n - 1) d
\(\Rightarrow\) -230 = -5 + ( n - 1 ) ( -3 ) \(\Rightarrow\) \(\frac{-225}{-3}\) = n -1
\(\Rightarrow\) 75 + 1 = n or n = 76
\(\therefore\) S76 = \(\frac{76}{2}[-5+(-230)]=38\times(-235)=-8930\)
6.
Let original duration of the flight be x hours.
Distance = 2800 km
\(\therefore \) Usual method = \(\frac { 2800 }{ x } km/h\)
When time = \(\left( x+\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \right) \) hrs
The new speed = \(\frac { 2800 }{ x+\frac { 1 }{ 2 } } =\frac { 5600 }{ 2x+1 } \)
ATQ \(\frac { 2800 }{ x } -\frac { 5600 }{ 2x+1 } =100\quad \Rightarrow \frac { 2800(2x+1)-5600x }{ (2x+1)x } =100\)
\(\Rightarrow 2800=100(2x^{ 2 }+x)\Rightarrow 2x^{ 2 }+x-28=0\)
\(\Rightarrow 2x^{ 2 }+8x-7x-28=0\quad \Rightarrow 2x(x+4)-7(x+4)=0\)
\(\Rightarrow (x+4)(2x-7)=0\quad \Rightarrow x=-4\) (rejected) or x=\(\frac { 7 }{ 2 } =3\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \)
\(\therefore \) Original duration = \(3\frac { 1 }{ 9 } \) hours

Required: Triangle whose sides are \(\frac { 3 }{ 5 } \) times the corresponding sides of the 1st triangle.

Let present age of his son = x yr
One year ago, his son's age = (x - 1) yr
One year ago, man's age = 8(x - 1) yr = (8x - 8) yr
Present age of man = (8x - 8 + 1) yr = (8x - 7) yr
According to the question,
8x - 7 = x2 ⇒ x2 - 8x + 7 = 0
which is the required quadratic equation.
Now, x2 - 7x - x + 7 = 0 [by factorisation]
⇒ x(x - 7) - l(x - 7) = 0
⇒ (x - 7)(x - 1) = 0
⇒ x - 7 = 0 or x- 1 = 0
⇒ x = 7 or x = 1
But x = 1is not possible because if x = 1, then present age of the son and father are same. So, x = 7.
Hence, present age of his son = 7 yr and present age of man = 8 x 7 - 7 = 49 yr.

Let O be the centre of a circle of radius 10 cm.
Here, chord AB = 16 cm
Since OP bisects chord AB
ஃ AL = LB = 8 cm
Consider rt, \(\angle \)ed \(\triangle\)OLB, by using Pythagoras Theorem,
we have OL2 = OB2 - LB2
= 102 - 82 = 100 - 64 = 36
OL = 6 cm
Let PL be x cm
ஃ OP = OL + PL = (6+x)cm
In rt ed BLP, we have
PB2 = BL2 + PL2
PB2 = 82 + x2 ........(i)
⇒ x2 = PB2 - 64
Again, in rt, \(\angle \)ed \(\triangle\)OBP, we have
PB2 = OP2 - OB2
PB2 = (6 x)2 - 102 ......(ii)
From (i) and (ii), we obtain
(6+x)2 - 100 = 64 + x2
36 + x2 + 12x - 100 - 64 - x2 = 0
12x - 128 = 0
\(x={128\over12}={32\over3}cm\)
From (i), we have
PB2 = 64 + \(({32\over3})^2\)
PB2 = \(64+{1024\over9}={576+1024\over9}={1600\over9}\)
PB = \(40\over3\) cm

Steps of Construction:
(i) A line segment BC = 9 cm is drawn.
(ii) ㄥABC = 60o is constructed at B.
(iii) An arc of 6 cm radius to be drawn with B as centre, cutting BA at A.
(iv) A and C are joined. Then triangle ABC is constructed.
(v) An acute angle CBX is drawn below BC.
(vi) Points B1,B2,B3 are taken on BX, such that BB1= B1B2 = B2B3.
(vii) B3 and C are joined.
(viii) B2C' is drawn parallel to B3C, meeting BC at C'
(ix) C'A' is drawn parallel to CA, meeting BA at A'.
(x) A' BC' is the required triangle similar to ΔABC whose sides are \(\frac { 2 }{ 3 } \) of the corresponding sides of Δ ABC.

Given: PAQ is a tangent to the circle with centre O at a point A as shown in figure \(\angle \)OBA = 35o

To find: \(\angle \)BAQ and \(\angle \)ACB
Proof: OA = OB [Radii of the same circle]
⇒ \(\angle \)3 = 35o [Angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle are equal]
but, \(\angle \)1 + \(\angle \)2 + \(\angle \)3 = 180o [Angle sum property]
⇒ 35o + 35o + \(\angle \)2 = 180o

Steps of Construction:
1. Draw a line segment BC = 6 cm and at point B draw a ㄥABC = 60o.
2. Cut AB 5 cm. Join AC. We obtain ABC is triangle.
3. Draw a ray BX making an acute angle with BC on the side opposite to the vertex A.
4. Locate 4 points A1,A2,A3 and A4 on the ray BX so that BA1=A1A2=A2A3=A3A4.
5. Join A4 to C.
6. At A3 draw A3C' || A4C. Where C' is a point on the line segment BC.
7. At C' draw C'A' || CA, where A' is a point on the line segment BA.

Δ A'BC' is the required triangle.
Justification:
In Δ A'BC' and ΔABC A'C' || AC
∴ By BPT \(\frac { A'B }{ AB } =\frac { BC' }{ BC } \) ...(i)
From (i) and (ii),
\(\frac { A'B' }{ AB } =\frac { 3 }{ 4 } \Rightarrow A'B=\frac { 3 }{ 4 } AB\)
In ΔBA3C' and ΔBA4C
\(\frac { BC' }{ BC } =\frac { { BA }_{ 3 } }{ { BA }_{ 4 } } =\frac { 3 }{ 4 } \) ...(ii)
∴ Sides of new triangle formed are \(\frac { 3 }{ 4 } \) times the corresponding sides of first triangle.

mx(x-1)+49=0
\(\Rightarrow \) mx2-7mx+49=0
Here a=m,b=-7m,c=49
For equal roots ,D=0
\(\Rightarrow D=b^{ 2 }-4ac\)
\(\Rightarrow 0=(-7m)^{ 2 }-4\times m\times 49\)
\(\Rightarrow 0=49m^{ 2 }-196m\)
\(\Rightarrow 49m^{ 2 }-196m=0\)
\(\Rightarrow 7m(7m-28)=0\)
\(\Rightarrow 7m=0\) or 7m-28 =0
\(\Rightarrow m=0\) or \(m=\frac { 28 }{ 7 } =4\)
but \(m\neq 0\) [ \(\therefore \) In quadratic equation \(a\neq 0\) ]

Given A right-angled triangle with sides of lengths 8 cm and 6 cm making a right angle. Required Triangle whose sides are \(\frac { 3 }{ 4 } \) times of the corresponding sides of given triangle.
Steps of Construction
1. Construct a right angled \(\angle ABC\) right angle at B with sides BC = 8 cm and AB = 6 cm
2. Through B, construct an acute LCBX on the side \(\angle CBX\) opposite to the vertex A.

3. Mark four points B1, B2 , B3, and B4 on BX such that BB1 = B1B2 = B2B3,= B3B4
