Since, XP ⊥ YZ, both ΔXYP and ΔOYP are right triangles.Similarly, both ΔXZP and ΔOZP are also right triangles.Using Pythagoras theorem, we have;In ΔXYP, XY2 = YP2 + XP2Or, XP2 = XY2 - YP2 ....... (I)And ΔXZP, we have;XZ2 = XP2 + PZ2So, XP2 = XZ2 - PZ2 ...... (II)So, XY2 - YP2 = XZ2 - PZ2Now, using equation (I) and (II) , we have;Or, XZ2 - XY2 = PZ2 - YP2 ...... (III)Now, in ΔOYP, we have;And OP2 = OY2 - YP2 ....... (IV)And in ΔOZP, we have;OP2 = OZ2 - PZ2 ...... (V)Now, using equation (IV) and (V) , we have;OY2 - YP2 = OZ2 - PZ2Or, PZ2 - PY2 = OZ2 - OY2 ...... (VI)Now, using equation (III) and (VI) , we have;OZ2 - OY2 = XZ2 - XY2Or, XY2 + OZ2 = XZ2 + OY2So, 122 + 92 = XZ2 + 52Or, 144 + 81 = XZ2 + 25Or, XZ2 = 225 - 25Or, XZ2 = 200And XZ = ± 10√2Since, side of a triangle cannot be negative, XZ = 10√2 cm
The downstream speed of a boat is 8 km/hr more than its upstream speed and the ratio of the speed of the boat in still water to the speed of the stream ...
Speed of current is equal to 35% of speed of boat in still water. If the boat takes 7 hours to cover 140 km in still water, then find the time taken by ...
A boat takes 3 hours to travel 24 km downstream and 4 hours to travel 16 km upstream. What is the speed of the current?
