How many part of a rectangular parallelopiped type hole of length , breadth and depth 48 cm , 16.5 cm and 4 cm respectively should be stuffed with the soil obtained by digging a right circular conicaltunnel of diameter4 meter and of length 56 metres ?

Answer»

Solution :The volume of the soil obtained ` = (4/2)^(2) xx 56 `CUBIC - metre
Again , the volume of the hole `= 48 xx 16.5 xx4`cubic - metre .
LET x PART of the hole shouldbe stuffed
`:.X xx 48 xx 16.5 xx 4 = pi xx 2^(2) xx 56 `
or , ` x = (22/7xx 4xx 56)/(48xx 16.5 xx 4 ) or , x = ( 22 xx 4 xx 8XX 10)/(48 xx 165 xx 4 ) or ,x = 2/9 `
Hence `2/9 ` part of the hole should be stuffed

Solve the equations :(x - 4) (y - 4)= 16(y - 6) (z - 6)= 36(z - 8) (x - 8) = 64.

Answer»

Solution :We have,(x - 4) (y - 4) = 16
implies XY - 4x - 4y + 16 = 16
implies4(x+y) = xy
implies`(x+y)/(xy)=(1)/(4)""(because xy ne 0)`
implies`(1)/(x) + (1)/(y) = (1)/(4) "" ….(1)`
Also,(y - 6)(z - 6) = 36
impliesyz - 6y - 6z + 36 = 36
implies 6(y + z) = yz
implies`(y+z)/(yz)=(1)/(6)""(because yz ne 0)`
implies`(1)/(z) + (1)/(y) = (1)/(6) ""....(2)`
and(z - 8) (z - 8) = 64
implies xz - 8Z - 8x + 64 = 64
implies implies8(x + z) = xz
implies`(x + z)/(xz) = (1)/(8) ""(because zx ne 0)`
implies`(1)/(z) + (1)/(x) = (1)/(8)""....(3)`
Adding equations (1), (2) and (3), we get
`2((1)/(x) + (1)/(y) + (1)/(z)) = (1)/(4) + (1)/(6) + (1)/(8)`
implies `(1)/(x) + (1)/(y) + (1)/(z) = (6+4+3)/(24) xx (1)/(2)`
implies`(1)/(x) + (1)/(y) + (1)/(z) = (13)/(48)"....(4)"`
`therefore`From equations (1) and (4), we get
`(1)/(4) + (1)/(z) = (13)/(48)implies(1)/(z) = (13)/(48) - (1)/(4) = (1)/(48)`
`therefore z = 48`.
From equations (2) and (4), we get
`(1)/(6) + (1)/(x) = (13)/(48)`
implies`(1)/(x) = (13)/(48) - (1)/(6) = (5)/(48)`
` implies x = (48)/(5)`
From equations (3) and (4), we get
`(1)/(8) + (1)/(y) = (13)/(48)`
implies `(1)/(y) = (13)/(48)-(1)/(8) = (7)/(48)`
`thereforey = (48)/(7)`
So, `x = (48)/(5), y = (48)/(7), z = 48`

Draw a DeltaABC in which AB=4 cm, BC=6 cm and AC=9cm. Construct a triangle similar to DeltaABC with scale factor (3)/(2). Justify the construction. Are the two triangles congruent ? Note that all the three angles and two sides of the two triangles are equal.

Answer»

Solution :Steps of construction
1. Draw a line segment BC=6 cm
2. Taking B and C as centres, draw TWO ARCS of radii 4 cmand 9 cm INTERSECTING each other at A.
3. Join BA and CA. `DeltaABC` is the required triangle.
4. From B, draw any ray BX downwards making an acute angle.
5. Mark three points `B_(1),B_(2),B_(3)` on BX, such that `BB_(1)=B_(1)B_(2)=B_(2)B_(3)`.

6. Join `B_(2)C` and from `B_(3)` draw `B_(3)M||B_(2)C` intersecting the extended line segment BC at M.
7. From point M, draw MN||CA intersecting the extended line segment BA to N.
Then, `DeltaNBM` is the required triangle whose sides are equal to `(3)/(2)` of the CORRESPONDING sides of the `DeltaABC`.
Justification
Here, `B_(3)M||B_(2)C`
`:. (BC)/(CM)=(2)/(1)`
Now, `(BM)/(BC)=(BC+CM)/(BC)`
`=1+(CM)/(BC)=1+(1)/(2)=(3)/(2)`
Also, MN||CA
`:. DeltaABC ~DeltaNBM`
Therefore, `(NB)/(AB)=(NM)/(AC)=(BM)/(BC)=(3)/(2)`
The two triangles are not congruent because if two triangles are congruent, then they have same shape and same size. Here, all the three angles are same but three sides are not same i.e, one side is different.
