LCM.

The figure given alongside shows the path of a diver, when she takes a jump from
the diving board. Clearly it is a parabola. Annie was standing on a diving board, 48
feet above the water level. She took a dive into the pool. Her height (in feet) above

32. Read the case- study given below and answer the questions based on case-study:
A hockey field is the playing surface for the game of hockey. Historically, the game
was played on natural turf (grass) but nowadays it is predominantly played on an
artificial turf. It is rectangular in shape - 100 yards by 60 yards. Goals consist of two
upright posts placed equidistant from the centre of the backline, joined at the top by
a horizontal crossbar. The inner edges of the posts must be 3.66 metres (4 yards)
apart, and the lower edge of the crossbar must be 2.14 metres (7 feet) above the
ground. Each team plays with 11 players on the field during the game including the
goalie.
Positions you might play include-  Forward: As shown by players A, B, C and D.
 Midfielders: As shown by players E, F and G.
 Fullbacks: As shown by players H, I and J
.  Goalie: As shown by player K
Using the picture of a hockey field below, answer the questions that follow:
