Question

To conduct Sports Day activities, in your rectangular shaped school ground ABCD, lines have been drawn with chalk powder at a distance of 1 m each. 100 flower pot have been placed at a distance 1 m from each other along AD, as shown in Fig. 5. Niharika runs 1/4 th the distance AD on the 2^nd line and posts are green flag. Preet runs 1/5^th the distance AD on the eight line and posts a red flag.
(i) what is the distance between the two flags?

(ii) If Rashmi has two post a blue flag exactly half way between the line segment joining the two flags, where should she post the blue flag?

Philoid · Accepted Answer

Total distance = 100 m [100 flower points]

Niharika is on the second line and has run meters

⇒ coordinate of green flag = (2, 25)

Preet is on the eight line and has run meters

⇒ coordinate of green flag = (8, 20)

(i) Distance between them units.

(ii) We have to find mid-point of line segment joining (2, 25) and (8, 20) i.e.

∴ she should post her flag at 22.5 m on the fifth lane.
