1. A ladder reaches a window which is 15 metres above the ground on one side of the street.
Keeping its foot at the same point, the ladder is turned to the other side of the street to reach a
window 8 metre high. Find the width of the street, if the length of the ladder is 17 metres.
2. The given figure shows a quadrilateral ABCD in which AD = 13 cm, DC = 12 cm, BC = 3 cm
and ∠ABD = ∠BCD = 90°. Calculate the length of AB.
3. In triangle ABC, given below, AB = 8 cm, BC = 6 cm and AC = 3 cm. Calculate the length of
OC.
