In right-angled triangle OMP,

By Pythagoras theorem, we get

⇒ OP2 = OM2 + MP2

⇒ MP2 = OP2 - OM2

⇒ MP2 = (15)2 - (12)2

⇒ MP2 = 225 - 144

⇒ MP2 = 81

⇒ MP = $\sqrt{81}$ = 9.

(i) sin θ = $\frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$

= $\frac{MP}{OP} = \frac{9}{15} = \frac{3}{5}$.

Hence, sin θ = $\frac{3}{5}$.

(ii) cos θ = $\frac{\text{Base}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$

= $\frac{OM}{OP} = \frac{12}{15} = \frac{4}{5}$.

Hence, cos θ = $\frac{4}{5}$.

(iii) tan θ = $\frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Base}}$

= $\frac{MP}{OM} = \frac{9}{12} = \frac{3}{4}$.

Hence, tan θ = $\frac{3}{4}$.

(iv) cot θ = $\frac{\text{Base}}{\text{Perpendicular}}$

= $\frac{OM}{MP} = \frac{12}{9} = \frac{4}{3}$.

Hence, cot θ = $\frac{4}{3}$.

(v) sec θ = $\frac{\text{Hypotenuse}}{\text{Base}}$

= $\frac{OP}{OM} = \frac{15}{12} = \frac{5}{4}$.

Hence, sec θ = $\frac{5}{4}$.

(vi) cosec θ = $\frac{\text{Hypotenuse}}{\text{Perpendicular}}$

= $\frac{OP}{MP} = \frac{15}{9} = \frac{5}{3}$.

Hence, cosec θ = $\frac{5}{3}$.

In right-angled triangle ABC,

By Pythagoras theorem, we get

⇒ AB2 = AC2 + BC2

⇒ AB2 = (12)2 + (5)2

⇒ AB2 = 144 + 25

⇒ AB2 = 169

⇒ AB = $\sqrt{169}$ = 13

(i) sin A = $\frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$

= $\frac{BC}{AB} = \frac{5}{13}$.

Hence, sin A = $\frac{5}{13}$.

(ii) cos A = $\frac{\text{Base}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$

= $\frac{AC}{AB} = \frac{12}{13}$.

Hence, cos A = $\frac{12}{13}$.

(iii) Substituting values of sin A and cos A in sin2 A + cos2 A :

⇒ sin2 A + cos2 A = $\Big(\frac{5}{13}\Big)^2 + \Big(\frac{12}{13}\Big)^2$

= $\frac{25}{169} + \frac{144}{169}$

= $\frac{169}{169}$ = 1.

Hence, sin2 A + cos2 A = 1.

(iv) sec2 A - tan2 A = $\Big(\frac{AB}{AC}\Big)^2 - \Big(\frac{BC}{AC}\Big)^2$

= $\Big(\frac{13}{12}\Big)^2 - \Big(\frac{5}{12}\Big)^2$

= $\frac{169}{144} - \frac{25}{144}$

= $\frac{144}{144}$ = 1.

Hence, sec2 A - tan2 A = 1.

In right-angled triangle ABC,

⇒ AC2 = BC2 - AB2

⇒ AC2 = (10)2 - (6)2

⇒ AC2 = 100 - 36

⇒ AC2 = 64

⇒ AC = $\sqrt{64}$

⇒ AC = 8.

(i) sin B = $\frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$

= $\frac{AC}{BC} = \frac{8}{10} = \frac{4}{5}$.

Hence, sin B = $\frac{4}{5}$.

(ii) cos C = $\frac{\text{Base}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$

= $\frac{AC}{BC} = \frac{8}{10} = \frac{4}{5}.$

Hence, cos C = $\frac{4}{5}$.

(iii) sin C = $\frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$

= $\frac{AB}{BC} = \frac{6}{10} = \frac{3}{5}$.

Substituting values of sin B and sin C in sin B + sin C we get :

⇒ sin B + sin C = $\frac{4}{5} + \frac{3}{5} = \frac{7}{5}$.

Hence, sin B + sin C = $\frac{7}{5}$.

(iv) sin B = $\frac{4}{5}$, sin C = $\frac{3}{5}$, cos C = $\frac{4}{5}$.

cos B = $\frac{\text{Base}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$

= $\frac{AB}{BC} = \frac{6}{10} = \frac{3}{5}$.

Substituting values in equation sin B cos C + sin C cos B we get :

$$\begin{aligned}= \frac{4}{5} \times \frac{4}{5} + \frac{3}{5} \times \frac{3}{5} \\[1em] = \frac{16}{25} + \frac{9}{25} \\[1em] = \frac{25}{25} = 1.\end{aligned}$$

Hence, sin B cos C + sin C cos B = 1.

⇒ AB2 = 144 + 256

⇒ AB2 = 400

⇒ AB = 20.

(i) In right-angled ∆ACD,

tan x = $\frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Base}}$

= $\frac{CD}{AD} = \frac{5}{12}$.

Hence, tan x = $\frac{5}{12}$.

(ii) In right-angled ∆ABD,

cos y = $\frac{\text{Base}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$

cot y = $\frac{\text{Base}}{\text{Perpendicular}}$

= $\frac{BD}{AD} = \frac{16}{12} = \frac{4}{3}$.

Substituting values in cosec2 y - cot2 y

$$\begin{aligned}= \Big(\frac{5}{3}\Big)^2 - \Big(\frac{4}{3}\Big)^2 \\[1em] = \frac{25}{9} - \frac{16}{9} \\[1em] = \frac{9}{9} = 1.\end{aligned}$$

Hence, sin x = $\frac{4}{5}$.

⇒ AB2 = 252 - 152

⇒ AB2 = 625 - 225 = 400

⇒ AB = 20

(i) We know that

In right-angled ∆BCD,

sin y = $\frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$

= $\frac{BD}{BC} = \frac{9}{15} = \frac{3}{5}.$

cos y = $\frac{\text{Base}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$

= $\frac{CD}{BC} = \frac{12}{15} = \frac{4}{5}.$

Substituting values in 2 sin y - cos y we get :

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow \text{2 sin y - cos y} = 2 \times \frac{3}{5} - \frac{4}{5} \\[1em] = \frac{6}{5} - \frac{4}{5} \\[1em] = \frac{2}{5}.\end{aligned}$$

cos x = $\frac{\text{Base}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$

Hence, 1 - sin x + cos y = $\frac{6}{5}$.

(iv) By formula,

tan x = $\frac{\text{sin x}}{\text{cos x}} = \frac{\frac{3}{5}}{\frac{4}{5}} = \frac{3}{4}$.

Substituting values we get :

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow \text{sin θ} = \frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}\\[1em] \Rightarrow \frac{5}{13} = \frac{AB}{AC}\end{aligned}$$

Let AB = 5k and AC = 13k.

Using pythagoras theorem,

⇒ AC2 = AB2 + BC2

⇒ (13k)2 = (5k)2 + 242

⇒ 169k2 = 25k2 + 576

⇒ 169k2 - 25k2 = 576

⇒ 144k2 = 576

⇒ k2 = $\frac{576}{144}$

⇒ k2 = 4

⇒ k = $\sqrt{4}$

⇒ k = ± 2

Since, length cannot be negative.

⇒ k = 2

So, AB = 5k = 5 x 2 = 10 cm,

and AC = 13k = 13 x 2 = 26 cm.

Hence, AB = 10 cm and AC = 26 cm.

Given,

tan A = $\frac{5}{12}$.

By formula,

tan A = $\frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Base}} = \frac{BC}{AB} = \frac{5}{12}$

Let BC = 5x and AB = 12x.

From right-angled ∆ABC

By pythagoras theorem, we get

⇒ AC2 = BC2 + AB2

⇒ AC2 = (5x)2 + (12x)2

⇒ AC2 = 25x2 + 144x2

⇒ AC2 = 169x2

⇒ AC = $\sqrt{169x^2}$

⇒ AC = 13x.

(i) By formula,

cos A = $\frac{\text{Base}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$

= $\frac{AB}{AC} = \frac{12x}{13x} = \frac{12}{13}$.

Hence, cos A = $\frac{12}{13}$.

(ii) By formula,

cosec A = $\frac{\text{Hypotenuse}}{\text{Perpendicular}}$

= $\frac{AC}{BC} = \frac{13x}{5x} = \frac{13}{5}$.

cot A = $\frac{\text{Base}}{\text{Perpendicular}}$

= $\frac{AB}{BC}$ = $\frac{12x}{5x}$ = $\frac{12}{5}$.

Substituting values in cosec A - cot A, we get :

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow \text{cosec A - cot A} = \frac{13}{5} - \frac{12}{5} \\[1em] = \frac{1}{5}.\end{aligned}$$

Hence, cosec A - cot A = $\frac{1}{5}$.

AB = 7 cm

BC - AC = 1 cm

⇒ BC = 1 + AC

We know that,

⇒ BC2 = AB2 + AC2 [By pythagoras theorem]

⇒ 1 + AC2 + 2AC = 49 + AC2

⇒ 2AC = 49 - 1

⇒ 2AC = 48

⇒ AC = $\frac{48}{2}$ = 24 cm.

∴ BC = 1 + AC = 25 cm.

(i) sin C = $\frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$

= $\frac{AB}{BC} = \frac{7}{25}$

Hence, sin C = $\frac{7}{25}$.

(ii) tan B = $\frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Base}}$

Using Pythagoras theorem we get,

⇒ -100QR = -900

⇒ 100QR = 900

⇒ QR = $\frac{900}{100}$ = 9.

∴ PR = 50 - QR = 50 - 9 = 41.

(i) sin P = $\frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$

= $\frac{QR}{PR} = \frac{9}{41}$.

Hence, sin P = $\frac{9}{41}$.

(ii) cos P = $\frac{\text{Base}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$

In right angle triangle ABC,

⇒ AC2 = AB2 + BC2

⇒ AC2 = (2)2 + (1)2

⇒ AC2 = 4 + 1 = 5

⇒ AC = $\sqrt{5}$.

Calculating sin θ, we get :

$$\begin{aligned}\text{sin θ} = \frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Hypotenuse}} \\[1em] = \frac{AB}{AC} \\[1em] = \frac{2}{\sqrt{5}}.\end{aligned}$$

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

(i) From figure,

tan C = $\frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Base}}$ = $\frac{AD}{DC}$

⇒ 1 = $\frac{AD}{DC}$

⇒ AD = DC.

sin B = $\frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$ = $\frac{AD}{AB}$

⇒ $\frac{4}{5}$ = $\frac{AD}{AB}$

Let AD = 4k and AB = 5k.

In right angle triangle ABD,

⇒ AB2 = AD2 + BD2

⇒ (5k)2 = (4k)2 + 152

⇒ 25k2 = 16k2 + 225

⇒ 9k2 = 225

⇒ k2 = $\frac{225}{9}$ = 25

⇒ k = $\sqrt{25}$ = 5.

AD = 4k = 4 × 5 = 20

AB = 5k = 5 × 5 = 25.

DC = AD = 20.

In right angle triangle ADC,

⇒ AC2 = AD2 + DC2

⇒ AC2 = 202 + 202

⇒ AC2 = 400 +400

⇒ AC2 = 800

⇒ AC = $\sqrt{800} = 20\sqrt{2}$.

Hence, AD = 20, AB = 25, DC = 20 and AC = $20\sqrt{2}$.

(ii) Calculating tan B, we get :

$$\begin{aligned}\text{tan B} = \frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Base}} \\[1em] = \frac{AD}{BD} \\[1em] = \frac{20}{15} = \frac{4}{3}.\end{aligned}$$

Calculating cos B, we get :

$$\begin{aligned}\text{cos B} = \frac{\text{Base}}{\text{Hypotenuse}} \\[1em] = \frac{BD}{AB} \\[1em] = \frac{15}{25} = \frac{3}{5}.\end{aligned}$$

Substituting value of tan B and cos B in L.H.S. of the equation, $\text{tan}^2 \text{ B} - \frac{1}{\text{cos}^2 \text{ B}}$ = -1, we get :

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow \text{tan}^2 B - \frac{1}{\text{cos}^2 B} = \Big(\frac{4}{3}\Big)^2 - \frac{1}{\Big(\frac{3}{5}\Big)^2} \\[1em] = \frac{16}{9} - \frac{1}{\frac{9}{25}} \\[1em] = \frac{16}{9} - \frac{25}{9} \\[1em] = \frac{-9}{9} \\[1em] = -1.\end{aligned}$$

Hence, proved that tan2 B - $\frac{1}{\text{cos}^2 B}$ = -1.

Since, θ is an acute angle and value of cos is positive in first quadrant.

∴ cos θ = $\frac{4}{5}$.

Hence, cos θ = $\frac{4}{5}$.

(ii) By formula,

tan θ = $\frac{\text{sin θ}}{\text{cos θ}}$

= $\frac{\frac{3}{5}}{\frac{4}{5}} = \frac{3}{4}$.

Since, θ is an acute angle and value of sec is positive in first quadrant.

∴ sec θ = $\frac{13}{12}$.

By formula,

cos θ = $\frac{1}{\text{sec θ}} = \frac{1}{\frac{13}{12}} = \frac{12}{13}.$

sin2 θ + cos2 θ = 1

Substituting values we get,

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow \text{sin}^2 \text{ θ} + \Big(\frac{12}{13}\Big)^2 = 1 \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{sin}^2 \text{ θ} = 1 - \Big(\frac{12}{13}\Big)^2\\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{sin}^2 \text{ θ} = 1 - \frac{144}{169} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{sin}^2 \text{ θ} = \frac{169 - 144}{169} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{sin}^2 \text{ θ} = \frac{25}{169} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{sin θ} = \sqrt{\frac{25}{169}} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{sin θ} = \pm \frac{5}{13}.\end{aligned}$$

Since, θ is an acute angle and value of sin is positive in first quadrant.

Substituting values in sin2 θ + cos2 θ = 1 we get :

By formula,

cosec θ = $\frac{\text{Hypotenuse}}{\text{Perpendicular}} = \frac{AC}{AB}$.

Substituting values we get :

$\Rightarrow \frac{\sqrt{5}}{1} = \frac{AC}{AB}$

Let AC = $\sqrt{5}$k and AB = k.

In right angle triangle ABC,

⇒ AC2 = AB2 + BC2

⇒ ($\sqrt{5}$k)2 = BC2 + k2

⇒ 5k2 = BC2 + k2

⇒ BC2 = 5k2 - k2

⇒ BC2 = 4k2

⇒ BC = $\sqrt{4\text{k}^2}$

⇒ BC = 2k.

cot θ = $\frac{\text{Base}}{\text{Perpendicular}}$

cos θ = $\frac{\text{Base}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$

Let AB = px and AC = qx.

In right angled triangle ABC,

By pythagoras theorem,

⇒ BC2 = AC2 - AB2

⇒ BC2 = (qx)2 - (px)2

⇒ BC2 = q2x2 - p2x2

⇒ BC2 = x2(q2 - p2)

In right angled triangle ABC,

Let AB = 8x and BC = 15x.

In right angle triangle ABC,

⇒ AC = 17x.

By formula,

sec θ = $\frac{\text{Hypotenuse}}{\text{Base}}$

cosec θ = $\frac{\text{Hypotenuse}}{\text{Perpendicular}}$

Given,

⇒ sin A = $\frac{5}{13}$

⇒ $\frac{BC}{AC} = \frac{5}{13}$

Let BC = 5k and AC = 13k.

In right angled triangle ABC,

Using pythagoras theorem,

⇒ AC2 = AB2 + BC2

⇒ AB2 = AC2 - BC2

⇒ AB2 = (13k)2 - (5k)2

⇒ AB2 = 169k2 - 25k2

⇒ AB2 = 144k2

2k2 = AB2 + k2

AB2 = 2k2 - k2

AB2 = k2

AB = $\sqrt{\text{k}}$ = k.

By formula,

sin A = $\frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$

tan A = $\frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Base}}$

Substituting these values in $\frac{\text{2 sin}^2 A + 3\text{ cot}^2 A}{\text{tan}^2 A - \text{cos}^2 A}$ we get,

⇒ AC = 5x.

(i) By formula,

⇒ sin θ = $\frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Hypotenuse}} = \frac{AB}{AC} = \frac{3x}{5x} = \frac{3}{5}$.

Hence, sin θ = $\frac{3}{5}$.

(ii) By formula,

⇒ cos θ = $\frac{\text{Base}}{\text{Hypotenuse}} = \frac{BC}{AC} = \frac{4x}{5x} = \frac{4}{5}$.

Hence, cos θ = $\frac{4}{5}$.

(iii) By formula,

⇒ cot θ = $\frac{\text{Base}}{\text{Perpendicular}} = \frac{BC}{AB} = \frac{4x}{3x} = \frac{4}{3}$.

⇒ cot2 θ = $\Big(\frac{4}{3}\Big)^2$ = $\frac{16}{9}$.

⇒ cosec θ = $\frac{\text{Hypotenuse}}{\text{Perpendicular}} = \frac{AC}{AB} = \frac{5x}{3x} = \frac{5}{3}$.

⇒ cosec2 θ = $\Big(\frac{5}{3}\Big)^2$ = $\frac{25}{9}$.

$$\begin{aligned}\text{cot}^2 \text{ θ} - \text{cosec}^2 \text{ θ} = \frac{16}{9} - \frac{25}{9} \\[1em] = \frac{16 - 25}{9} \\[1em] = -\frac{9}{9} \\[1em] = -1.\end{aligned}$$

Hence, cot2 θ - cosec2 θ = -1.

If 2 cos θ = $\sqrt{3}$, prove that 3 sin θ - 4 sin3 θ = 1.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given,

⇒ 2 cos θ = $\sqrt{3}$

⇒ cos θ = $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

Squaring both sides we get :

⇒ cos2 θ = $\Big(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\Big)^2$ = $\frac{3}{4}$.

⇒ 1 - sin2 θ = $\frac{3}{4}$.

⇒ sin2 θ = $1 - \frac{3}{4}$.

⇒ sin2 θ = $\frac{4 - 3}{4}$.

⇒ sin2 θ = $\frac{1}{4}$.

⇒ sin θ = $\sqrt{\frac{1}{4}}$

⇒ sin θ = $\frac{1}{2}$.

Substituting values in L.H.S. of equation 3 sin θ - 4 sin3 θ = 1 we get :

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow 3\text{sin θ} - 4\text{ sin}^3 θ \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{sin θ }(3 - 4\text{ sin}^2 θ) \\[1em] \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2} \times (3 - 4 \times \frac{1}{4}) \\[1em] \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2} \times (3 - 1) \\[1em] \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2} \times 2 \\[1em] \Rightarrow 1.\end{aligned}$$

Since, L.H.S. = R.H.S.

Hence, proved that 3sin θ - 4 sin3 θ = 1.

Given, $\frac{\text{sec θ - tan θ}}{\text{sec θ + tan θ}} = \frac{1}{4}.$

Solving above equation we get,

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow \frac{\text{sec θ - tan θ}}{\text{sec θ + tan θ}} = \frac{1}{4} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \frac{\frac{1}{\text{cos θ}} - \frac{\text{sin θ}}{\text{cos θ}}}{\frac{1}{\text{cos θ}} + \frac{\text{sin θ}}{\text{cos θ}}} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \frac{\frac{\text{1 - sin θ}}{\text{cos θ}}}{\frac{\text{1 + sin θ}}{{\text{cos θ}}}} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \frac{\text{1 - sin θ}}{\text{1 + sin θ}} = \frac{1}{4} \\[1em] \Rightarrow 4(1 - \text{sin θ}) = 1 + \text{sin θ} \\[1em] \Rightarrow 4 - 4\text{ sin θ} = 1 + \text{sin θ} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{sin θ + 4 sin θ} = 4 - 1 \\[1em] \Rightarrow 5 \text{ sin θ} = 3 \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{sin θ} = \frac{3}{5}.\end{aligned}$$

Hence, sin θ = $\frac{3}{5}$.

Given,

$$\begin{aligned}\phantom{\Rightarrow} \text{sin θ + cosec θ} = 3\frac{1}{3} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{sin θ + cosec θ} = \frac{10}{3} \\[1em]\end{aligned}$$

Squaring both sides we get,

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow \text{(sin θ + cosec θ)}^2 = \Big(\frac{10}{3}\Big)^2 \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{sin}^2 \text{ θ} + \text{cosec}^2 \text{ θ} + \text{ 2 sin θ.cosec θ} = \frac{100}{9} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{sin}^2 \text{ θ} + \text{cosec}^2 \text{ θ} + \text{2 sin θ} \times \frac{1}{\text{sin θ}} = \frac{100}{9} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{sin}^2 \text{ θ} + \text{cosec}^2 \text{ θ} + 2 = \frac{100}{9} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{sin}^2 \text{ θ} + \text{cosec}^2 \text{ θ} = \frac{100}{9} - 2 \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{sin}^2 \text{ θ} + \text{cosec}^2 \text{ θ} = \frac{100 - 18}{9} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{sin}^2 \text{ θ} + \text{cosec}^2 \text{ θ} = \frac{82}{9} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{sin}^2 \text{ θ} + \text{cosec}^2 \text{ θ} = 9\frac{1}{9}\end{aligned}$$

Hence, sin2 θ + cosec2 θ = $9\frac{1}{9}$.

In the adjoining figure, cosec x = $\frac{13}{5}$, AB = 26 cm and sin y = $\frac{8}{17}$. Find BC.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

By formula,

sin θ = $\frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$

cosec θ = $\frac{\text{Hypotenuse}}{\text{Perpendicular}}$

In ΔABD,

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow \text{cosec x} = \frac{AB}{BD}\\[1em] \Rightarrow \frac{13}{5} = \frac{26}{BD}\\[1em] \Rightarrow BD = \frac{26 \times 5}{13}\\[1em] \Rightarrow BD = 2 \times 5\\[1em] \Rightarrow BD = 10 \text{ cm}.\end{aligned}$$

Since, ΔABD is a right angled triangle. Using pythagoras theorem,

⇒ AB2 = BD2 + AD2

⇒ 262 = 102 + AD2

⇒ 676 = 100 + AD2

⇒ AD2 = 676 - 100

⇒ AD2 = 576

⇒ AD = $\sqrt{576}$

⇒ AD = ± 24 cm

As length of side of a triangle cannot be negative. So, AD = 24 cm.

In ΔADC,

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow \text{sin y} = \frac{AD}{AC}\\[1em] \Rightarrow \frac{8}{17} = \frac{24}{AC}\\[1em] \Rightarrow AC = \frac{24 \times 17}{8}\\[1em] \Rightarrow AC = 3 \times 17\\[1em] \Rightarrow AC = 51 \text{ cm}.\end{aligned}$$

Since, ΔADC is a right angled triangle. Using pythagoras theorem,

⇒ AC2 = AD2 + DC2

⇒ 512 = 242 + DC2

⇒ 2601 = 576 + DC2

⇒ DC2 = 2601 - 576

⇒ DC2 = 2025

⇒ DC = $\sqrt{2025}$

⇒ DC = ± 45

As length of side of a triangle cannot be negative. So, DC = 45 cm.

From figure,

BC = BD + DC = 10 + 45 = 55 cm.

Hence, the length of BC = 55 cm.

In △ABC,

By formula,

sin α = $\frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$

Substituting values we get :

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow \frac{3}{5} = \frac{AB}{AC} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \frac{3}{5} = \frac{4}{AC} \\[1em] \Rightarrow AC = \frac{20}{3}\end{aligned}$$

In right angle triangle ABC,

By pythagoras theorem, we get :

⇒ AC2 = AB2 + BC2

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow \Big(\frac{20}{3}\Big)^2 = 4^2 + BC^2 \\[1em] \Rightarrow \frac{400}{9} = 16 + BC^2 \\[1em] \Rightarrow BC^2 = \frac{400}{9} - 16 \\[1em] \Rightarrow BC^2 = \frac{400 - 144}{9} \\[1em] \Rightarrow BC^2 = \frac{256}{9} \\[1em] \Rightarrow BC = \sqrt{\frac{256}{16}} \\[1em] \Rightarrow BC = \frac{16}{3} \text{ m}\end{aligned}$$

In △CDE,

By formula,

cos β = $\frac{\text{Base}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$

Substituting values we get :

$\Rightarrow \frac{12}{13} = \frac{CD}{CE}$

Let CD = 12k and CE = 13k.

In right angle triangle ABC,

⇒ CE2 = CD2 + ED2

⇒ (13k)2 = (12k)2 + 32

⇒ 169k2 = 144k2 + 32

⇒ 32 = 169k2 - 144k2

⇒ 9 = $25k^2$

⇒ $k = \sqrt{\frac{9}{25}} = \frac{3}{5}$.

CD = 12k = $12 \times \frac{3}{5} = \frac{36}{5}$

From figure,

$$\begin{aligned}BD = BC + CD = \frac{16}{3} + \frac{36}{5} \\[1em] = \frac{80 + 108}{15} \\[1em] = \frac{188}{15} \\[1em] = 12\frac{8}{15} \text{ m}.\end{aligned}$$

Hence, BD = $12\frac{8}{15}$ m.
