 Explanations

Answer 1
Given that
tan(A + B) = V3
As we know that,
tan60= V3
Thus
tan(A + B) = tan 60
A + B = 60", .(1)

1
tan(A -

B) =

As we know that,

tan30=
Thus
tan(A -

B) =tan 300
A - B = 30, (2)

Combining eq(1) & eq (2)

 A+B-600 (1)
A-b= 300 (2)
Adding
2A 900
900
A=2
A= 450
Putting value of A in eq (1)
45 +B = 60
B = 600-450
B 150

 Answer 3
Given that
a, b, c are in A.P
and G.P.
we useb *c
To find the value of b in A.P
=

To find the value of b in G.P we use b2 =

ac

Put b=in b2= ac we get,

= ac

By formula of (a +b) we get

a +c+2ac a c
4
a2+c2+2ac = 4ac
a2 +c24ac + 2ac = 0

a+c2-2ac =0
(a-c) = 0

a =c
Putting value of a in b2 = ac we get b2 = c2

Taking v on both sides

b =c
Hence a =c&c =b then a = b so the answer is a = b = c

Answer 4
Given that,
1 =1, 1 =4

So the area of AABC is 5 sq. units
Answer 5
Given that,
tan A = 1

AS tan450= 1

SO tan A = tan 450

A = 450

Given that,
tan B = V3

AS, tan 60 = V3

So, tan B = tan 600

B = 600

cos(A + B) =?

As
cos(A+ B) =
cos Acos B -sin AsinB
= cos 45 cos 60 - sin 45 sin 60

Answer 19 radius= 17 cm

Given a circle with parallel chord
AB and CD, 23 cm apart ords
Length of the second chord, CD, is to be determined
Distance of chord, AB, from 0 = (17)-(
T
= [289- 64]0.5
= (225)0.5
= 15 cm

Distance of CD from 0 23 -15

= 8 cm

Length of CD = 2[(17)- (8)2]0.5

= 2[289 - 6410.5

= 2(15)
= 30 cm

So, the second chord, CD, is 30 cm long

So,
A = 1(1-x) - 0 + 2(5-1)
0 = 1 - x + 10-2

0=-x+ 11-2
0=-x+9
Therefore, x = 9
