Answer:
See the attached figure which represents the problem.
As shown, AA₁ and BB₁ are the altitudes in acute △ABC.
△AA₁C is a right triangle at A₁
So, Cos x = adjacent/hypotenuse = A₁C/AC ⇒(1)
△BB₁C is a right triangle at B₁
So, Cos x = adjacent/hypotenuse = B₁C/BC ⇒(2)
From (1) and (2)
∴ A₁C/AC = B₁C/BC
using scissors method
∴ A₁C · BC = B₁C · AC
Given that total number of books in the book store = 75972
Given that total number of books in science section = rd of total books =
= 25324
Then remaining number of books = 75972 - 25324 = 50648
Given that 75% of the remaining books are in business section = 75% of 50648 = 0.75*50648 = 37986
Then number of books in the math section = 50648 - 37986 = 12662
Hence final answer is 12662 books in the math section.
