Two ships are approaching a port along straight routes at constant speeds. Initially, the two ships and the port formed an equilateral triangle with sides of length $24$ km. When the slower ship travelled $8$ km, the triangle formed by the new positions of the two ships and the port became right-angled. When the faster ship reaches the port, the distance, in km, between the other ship and the port will be

In a circle with center $O$ and radius $1 \mathrm{~cm}$, an arc $A B$ makes an angle $60$ degrees at $O$. Let $R$ be the region bounded by the radii $\mathrm{OA}, \mathrm{OB}$ and the arc $AB$ . If $C$ and $D$ are two points on $OA$ and $OB$ , respectively, such that $\mathrm{OC}=\mathrm{OD}$ and the area of triangle $OCD$ is half that of $R$ , then the length of $OC$ , in cm , is

A triangle $ABC$ has area $32$ sq units and its side $BC$ , of length $8$ units, lies on the line $\mathrm{x}=4$. Then the shortest possible distance between $A$ and the point $(0,0)$ is
