A pole has to be erected at a point on the boundary of a circular park of diameter 17 m in such a way that the differences of its distances from two diametrically opposite fixed gates A and B on the boundary is 7 metres. Find the distances from the gates where the pole is to be erected.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
Hence, `AP = x = 15 m` and `PB = x-7=15-7= 8 m`.
