6. Angles Q and R of a  $\small \Delta PQR$  are  $\small 25^{\circ}$  and  $\small 65^{\circ}$. Write which of the following is true:

(i)  $\small PQ^2+QR^2=RP^2$

(ii) $\small PQ^2+RP^2=QR^2$

(iii) $\small RP^2+QR^2=PQ^2$

As we know the sum of the angles of any triangle is always 180. So, Now. Since PQR is a right-angled triangle with right angle at P. So   Hence option (ii) is correct.

4.  Which of the following can be the sides of a right triangle?

As we know,  In a Right-angled Triangle: By Pythagoras Theorem, (i) , , 6 cm. As we know the hypotenuse is the longest side of the triangle, So Hypotenuse = 6.5 cm Verifying the Pythagoras theorem,   Hence it is a right-angled triangle. The Right-angle lies on the opposite of the longest side (hypotenuse) So the right angle is at the place where 2.5 cm side and 6 cm side meet. (ii) 2 cm, 2...

3. A 15 m long ladder reached a window 12 m high from the ground on placing it against a wall at a distance a. Find the distance of the foot of  the ladder from the wall.

Here. As we can see, The ladder with wall forms a right-angled triangle with

the vertical height of the wall = perpendicular = 12 m

length of ladder = Hypotenuse = 15 m

Now, As we know

In a Right-angled Triangle: By Pythagoras Theorem,

$(Hypotenus)^2=(Base)^2+(Perpendicular)^2$

$(15)^2=(Base)^2+(12)^2$

$(Base)^2=(15)^2-(12)^2$

$(Base)^2=225-144$

$(Base)^2=81$

$Base=9 m$

Hence the distance of the foot of the ladder from the wall is 9 m.
