Solution :Here `DeltaAOB` is a right-angled triangle in which AB is a HYPOTENUSE.
NowAO = OB
= radius of CIRCLE = 200 m
Thus area of `DeltaAOB`,
`=(1)/(2)xxOAxxOB`
`=(1)/(2)xx200xx200=20,000" m"^(2)`
Thus ( c ) is correct OPTION.

Draw a right triangle in which the sides (other than hypotenuse) are of lengths 4 cm and 3 cm. Then construct another triangle whose sides are 5/3 times the corresponding sides of the given triangle.

Answer»

Solution :Steps of Construction :
1. DRAW a line segment BC = 4 cm.
2. From B. draw a line AB = 3 cm which making right angle at B.
3. Join `AC. DeltaABC` is the given right triangle.
4. From B, draw an acute `angleCBY` downwards.
5. On BY, take five POINTS `B_(1),B_(2),B_(3),B_(4)andB_(5)` such that`BB_(1)=B_(1)B_(2)=B_(2)B_(3)=B_(3)B_(4)=B_(4)B_(5).`
6. Join `B_(3)C.`
7. From point `B_(5),` draw `B_(5)C'"||"B_(3)C` producijng BC to C'.
8. Form point C', draw `C'A"||"CA` PRODUCING BA to A' Hence, `DeltaA'BC'` is the required triangle.
Justification :
By construction, `B_(5)C'"||"B_(3)C`
`therefore""(BC)/(C C')-3/2`
`Now,""(BC')/(BC)=(BC+C C')/(BC)=1+(C C')/(BC)=1+2/3=5/3`
`Also,""C'A'"||"CA`
`therefore""DeltaABC~DeltaA'BC'`
`and""(A'B)/(AB)=(BC')/(BC)=(A'C')/(CA)=5/3.`

Solution :Here OCDE is a square whose diagonal is equal to the RADIUS of the circle. Let a be side of square.
Now `""a^(2)+a^(2)=(200)^(2)`
`2a^(2)=200xx200`
`a=sqrt(100xx100xx2)=100sqrt(2)` cm
Area of square `""a^(2)=(100sqrt(2))^(2)=20,000" m"^(2)`
Area of hockey court is equal to area of shooting court.
