Case study based questions are compulsory.

36 A tiling or tessellation of a flat surface is the covering of a plane using one or more geometric
shapes, called tiles, with no overlaps and no gaps. Historically, tessellations were used in
ancient Rome and in Islamic art. You may find tessellation patterns on floors, walls, paintings
etc. Shown below is a tiled floor in the archaeological Museum of Seville, made using
squares, triangles and hexagons.
A craftsman thought of making a floor pattern after being inspired by the above design. To
ensure accuracy in his work, he made the pattern on the Cartesian plane. He used regular
octagons, squares and triangles for his floor tessellation pattern

Use the above figure to answer the questions that follow: 1

(i) What is the length of the line segment joining points B and F?

chairs are to be placed in concentric circular arrangement in such a way that each succeeding
circular row has 10 seats more than the previous one.

2
OR

be put after 10th row?

(iii) If there were 17 rows in the auditorium, how many seats will be there in the
1
middle row?

38 We all have seen the airplanes flying in the sky but might have not thought of how they
actually reach the correct destination. Air Traffic Control (ATC) is a service provided by
ground-based air traffic controllers who direct aircraft on the ground and through a given
section of controlled airspace, and can provide advisory services to aircraft in non-controlled
airspace. Actually, all this air traffic is managed and regulated by using various concepts
based on coordinate geometry and trigonometry.
At a given instance, ATC finds that the angle of elevation of an airplane from a point on the
ground is 60°. After a flight of 30 seconds, it is observed that the angle of elevation changes
to 30°. The height of the plane remains constantly as 3000√3 m. Use the above information to
answer the questions that follow- 1
(i) Draw a neat labelled figure to show the above situation diagrammatically.
2
(ii) What is the distance travelled by the plane in 30 seconds?
OR
Keeping the height constant, during the above flight, it was observed that after
15(√3 -1) seconds, the angle of elevation changed to 45°. How much is the
distance travelled in that duration.

(iii) What is the speed of the plane in km/hr.
