Example 1: -

A 10 meter ladder is leaning against a building. The bottom of the ladder is 5 meter from the building. How high is the top of the ladder from the ground?

Solution: -
Let us first draw the figure of the problem. The figure is as shown below.

we can see that the figure is a right angled triangle.  So it satisfied Pythagoras theorem.
Pythagoras theorem is given by
Hypotenuse2 = Base2 + Altitude2
Here Base = 5
Hypotenuse = 10
Therefore Altitude2 = 102 - 52
= 100 - 25
= 75
Therefore Altitude = √75 = 8.66 meters
So the ladder is 8.66 meters high from the ground.

Example 2: -

The sum of the squares of the two larger of  three consecutive even integers is 12 less than 4 times the square of the smaller one. Find the even numbers.
Solution: -
Let the numbers be  x – 2 , x and x + 2. Given the sum of the square of the two larger of  three consecutive even integers is 12 less than 4 times the square of the smaller one.
That is x2+ (x + 2)2 = 4(x - 2)2 - 12
x2 + x2+4x+4 = 4(x2 - 4x + 4) - 12
x2 + x2 + 4x + 4 = 4x2 - 16x + 16 - 12
2 x2 + 4x + 4 = 4x2 - 16x + 4
We subtract 2x2 on both sides
4x + 4 = 2x2 - 16x + 4
We add 4x on both side
4 = 2 x2 - 20x + 4
Subtracting 4 on both sides
2x2 - 20x = 0
That is 2x (x - 10) = 0
so x can be either 0 or 10
When x = 0, the even numbers are –2, 0 and 2.
When x = 10, the even numbers are 8, 10 and 12

Example 3: -
John sells 566 drama tickets for $\$$3797. Tickets cost \$$5 and admission ticket cost$\$$8. How much of each type did he sell? Solution: - Let x be the number of tickets and y be the number of admission tickets he sold.Given that sells 566 tickets for \$$3797.
That is x + y = 566…(1)
Also given that tickets cost $\$$5 and admission ticket cost$8.
That is 5x + 8y = 3797 ...(2)
Solving the two equations we get the required answer.
For this first we multiply the first equation by 5, we get
5x + 5y = 2830…(3)
Subtracting equation (1) from (3) we get
-3y = -967
y ≈ 322
Substituting in equation (1), we get
x  + 322 = 566
x = 566 – 322 = 244
Therefore number of tickets he sold = 244
Number of admission tickets he sold = 322.
