Practicing Success
A coconut tree swings with the wind in such a manner that the angle covered by its trunk is 18 degrees. If the topmost portion of the tree covers a distance of 44 metres, find the length of the tree. |
120 metres 210 metres 140 metres 70 metres |
140 metres |
Formula to be used here, Perimeter = 2\(\Pi \)R × \(\frac{angle}{360}\) Let the length of tree be L meters According to the question, ⇒ 2\(\Pi \)L × \(\frac{18}{360}\) = 44 ⇒ \(\frac{44}{7}\) × \(\frac{18}{360}\) = 44 ⇒ L = 140m. |
