On a graph paper, plot the points (0, 0), (10, 12), (20, 32), (30, 62), (40, 100), (50, 124), (60, 140), (70, 152), and
(80, 160). Join these points by a free hand curve to get the ogive.

(ii) Using ruler and compasses only, construct an isosceles ∆ABC having base AB = 4 cm and median through vertex
C is equal to 2.8 cm. Draw the incircle of the triangle. [3]
(iii) The angles of depression of two ships A and B as observed from the top of a lighthouse 60 m high are 60° and 45°
respectively. If the two ships are on the opposite sides of the lighthouse, find the distance between the two ships.
Give your answer correct to the nearest whole number. [4]

Solution :
a3 + 3ab 2 63
(i) =
b3 + 3a 2b 62
Using componendo and dividendo, we get

a3 + 3ab 2 + b3 + 3a 2b 63 + 62
3 2 3 2
=
a + 3ab − b − 3a b 63 − 62
( a + b )3 a+b
⇒
3 = 125 ⇒ =5
( a − b) a −b
Again using componendo and dividendo, we get
