ht = 500 3 = 866.025 m end point of radius,
tan 45c = hr ; hr = 500 tan 45c +TPO = 90º
500
Now +TPQ = +TPO − θ = ^90º − θh
= 500 m Since, TP = TQ and opposite angels of equal sides
Difference, 866.025 − 500 = 366.025 m are always equal, we have

+PTQ = 180º − 180º + 2θ = 2θ
Hence +PTQ = 2+OPQ .

Ans :
x ^x + 5h − 3 ^x + 5h = 0
As per given in question we have drawn figure below.
^x + 5h^x − 3h = 0
We reject the x = − 5 . Thus x = 3 and fraction = 3

Ans :
We have ^k + 1, 1h, ^4, − 3h and ^7, − k h

The angle of depression of two ships from an aeroplane
flying at the height of 7500 m are 30c and 45c. if both
the ships are in the same that one ship is exactly
behind the other, find the distance between the ships.
Ans :
Let A, C and D be the position of aeroplane and two
ship respectively. Aeroplane is flying at 7500 m height
from point B . As per given in question we have drawn
figure below.
Co-ordinates of point R is ^4, 0h
Thus QR = 8 units
Let the co-ordinates of point P be ^0, y h
Since PQ = QR
^− 4 − 0h2 + ^0 − y h2 = 64
16 + y2 = 64
y =! 4 3
Coordinates of P are `0, 4 3 j or `0, − 4 3 j

Here PQ is chord of circle and OM will be and Modal class = 700 − 875
perpendicular on it and it bisect PQ . Thus TOMP is
