1) The shadow of a factory chimney is 35.8 m. At the same

time a pole of 2 m is stuck into the ground 10 cm deep has a
shadow of 1.62 m. Determine the height of the factory
chimney.

2) The three sides of a triangle are given as:

a= 7 cm, b = 6 cm, c = 5.5 cm.

Determine the lengths of segments that the bisector of angle γ

cuts from side c.

3) The bases of a trapezium are given as: 2 cm and 3 cm,.

The supplementary triangle formed by the extensions of the

legs has two other sides measuring 4 cm and 5 cm.

Determine the lenghts of the legs of the trapezium.

4) In a right triangle the ratio of the legs is 5:6, the

hypotenuse is 122 cm.

Determine the lengths of the segments cut by the altitude on

the hypotenuse. Don't use the Pythagorean theorem more
than once!
Pythagorean theorem :
x
122 (5z)2 + (6z)2 = 1222
5z
y 25z2 + 36z2 = 14884

61z2 = 14884

z = 15.62
5z = 78.1 cm 6z = 93.72 cm
