Solve the following problems. Show the solutions.
1) Find the approximate distance that will be saved by walking diagonally across
a field 450 meters by 250 meters instead of walking along the two adjacent
sides.
2) An equilateral triangle has an altitude of 15cm. How long is each side and what
is the area?
3) What is the length of the side of a square if the length of the diagonal is 32cm?
4) A square has an area of 9 sq.m and has a perimeter which is equal to the
perimeter of an equilateral triangle. What is the area of the equilateral triangle?
5) In right triangle ABC with 2C as the right angle. If AB = 6x-1, BC=4x+6 and
AC=2x+1, what is the value of x?
