(N/A) Consider that the lamp is placed on the table. Choose two adjacent edges,$DC$ and $AD$.
Draw perpendiculars from the position of the lamp to the edges $DC$ and $AD$ and measure the lengths of these perpendiculars.
Let the length of these perpendiculars be $30\, cm$ and $20\, cm$ respectively.
Now,the position of the lamp from the left edge $(AD)$ is $20\, cm$ and from the lower edge $(DC)$ is $30\, cm$.
This can be written as $(20, 30)$,where $20$ represents the perpendicular distance of the lamp from edge $AD$ and $30$ represents the perpendicular distance of the lamp from edge $DC$.

(Street Plan) : $A$ city has two main roads which cross each other at the centre of the city. These two roads are along the North-South direction and East-West direction. All the other streets of the city run parallel to these roads and are $200 \,m$ apart. There are $5$ streets in each direction. Using $1 \,cm = 200 \,m$,draw a model of the city on your notebook. Represent the roads/streets by single lines. There are many cross-streets in your model. $A$ particular cross-street is made by two streets,one running in the North-South direction and another in the East-West direction. Each cross-street is referred to in the following manner: If the $2^{nd}$ street running in the North-South direction and $5^{th}$ in the East-West direction meet at some crossing,then we will call this cross-street $(2, 5).$ Using this convention,find:
$(i)$ how many cross-streets can be referred to as $(4, 3).$
$(ii)$ how many cross-streets can be referred to as $(3, 4).$
