vaMSAgramUlAMtara BumivargO = Distance (‘b’) of tip of (broken) Bamboo from its root on ground,
being squared,
BavataH = become
Solution:- The part from the root to the place where it is broken is the altitude ‘a’. The remaining
part of the Bamboo is the hypotenuese ‘h’. Hence the full Bamboo height ‘x’ from top to bottom is
given by
x = a + h …. (1)
The distance between the root and the tip of the Bamboo is side ‘b’ given by
b = sqrt(h^2 – a^2),
aMga = well
hE gaNaka = oh mathematician
BagnaH = broke
lagnaM = touched
kathaya = tell me
Solution:- Given base DB = b = 16, DE = Bamboo = x = a + h = 32, to find the altitude ‘a’ say, we have
therefore from the previous shloka,
