- Two roads run from a definite place with an angle of 135 o in two dinrections.
Two persons move from the definite place in two directions with the speed of 7
km per hour and 5 km per hour respectiv ely. What will be the direct distance
between them after 4 hours? - If the lengths of the perpendiculars from a point interior of an equilateral triangle
to three sides are 6 cm., 7 cm., 8 cm. respectively; find the length of sides of the
triangle and the area of the triangular region.
