Case Study-1: A big match of baseball is going to happen. For this a field need to be prepared. The field is somewhat triangular in shape with a semi-circle as shwon in the figure.

The area in which pitch is to be made is APRQ where P and Q are two points on boundary. As it is an important game, so dimensions need to be perfect and hence `(AP)/(AB)=(AQ)/(AC)`. We have AP=2x cm, AB=x+4 cm, PQ=x cm and BC=7 cm.
Answer the following questions:
What will be length of the side AP?

A

10 cm

B

20 cm

C

5 cm

D

8 cm
