Do you know old clothes which are thrown as waste not only fill the landfill site but also produce very harmful greenhouse gas. So, it is very important that we reuse old clothes in whatever way we can.
The picture given below on the right, shows a footmat (rug) made out of old t-shirts yarn. Observing the picture, you will notice that a number of stitches in circular rows are making a pattern : 6, 12, 18, 24, ...
Based on the above information, answer the following questions :
(a) Check whether the given pattern forms an AP. If yes, find the common difference and the next term of the AP. (2)
(b) Write the term of the AP. Hence, find the number of stitches in the circular row. (2)
The following TV Tower was built in 1988 and is located in Pitampura, Delhi. It has an observation deck. Observe the picture given below :
The TV Tower stands vertically on the ground. From a point ‘A’ on the ground, the angle of elevation of top of the tower (point ‘B’) is . There is a point ‘C’ on the tower which is 78 m (approx.) above the ground.
The angle of elevation of the point C from point A is found to be .
(a) Draw a well-labelled figure, based on the information given above. (2)
(b) Find the height of the tower and the distance of the tower from point A. (2)
