The probability of selecting a rotten apple randomly from a heap of 900 apples is 0.18. What is the number of rotten apples in the heap?
If a tower 30 m high, casts a shadow 10 3m long on the ground, then what is the angle of elevation of the sun?
If the angle between two tangents drawn from an external point P to a circle of radius a and centre O, is 60°, then find the length of OP.
A circle touches all the four sides of a quadrilateral ABCD. Prove that
AB + CD = BC + DA
Since tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal in length, we have
AP = AS ........(i)
BP = BQ ........(ii)
CR = CQ ........(iii)
DR = DS ........(iv)
Adding (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), we get
AP + BP + CR + DR = AS + BQ + CQ + DS
( AP + BP ) + ( CR + DR ) = ( AS + DS ) + ( BQ + CQ )
Prove that the tangents drawn at the end points of a chord of a circle make equal angles with the chord.
A line intersects the y-axis and x-axis at the points P and Q respectively. If (2, -5) is the mid-point of PQ, then find the coordinates of P and Q.
Find the value of p, for which one root of the quadratic equation px2 – 14x + 8= 0 is 6 times the other.
