Very Short Answer Type Questions
Question 1.
In figure, AB = AC, CD = CA and ∠ADC = 20°, find ∠ABC.
Solution.
CD = CA
⇒ ∠CAD = ∠ADC = 20°
⇒ ∠ACD = 180° – (20° + 20°) = 140°
∠ACB = 180° – 140° = 40°
But AB also equal to AC
⇒ ∠ABC = ∠ACB = 40°
Question 2.
In Δ’s ABC and DEF, if AB = DF, BC = DE, AC = EF and ∠D = 55°. Find ∠B.
Solution.
According to above (RBSESolutions.com) information ΔABC = ΔDEF
(by c.p.c.t) ∠D = ∠B = 55°
Question 3.
In figure, ∠B = ∠D = 90° and BC = CD. Is AB = DE? Why?
Solution.
In right angled triangles ABC and CDE
∠B = ∠D = 90° (given)
∠ACB = ∠DCE (vertically opposite angles)
and BC = CD (given)
ΔABC = ΔCDE (by ASA congruency property)
AB = DE (by c.p.c.t)
⇒ Yes, AB and DE are equal.
Question 4.
In a ΔABC, if ∠A = ∠B = 45°, which is the (RBSESolutions.com) longest side?

Short Answer Type Questions
Question 1.
In the given figure, AB = AC and BD = EC then prove that ΔADE is an isosceles triangle.
Solution.
In ΔABD and ΔAEC
AB = AC (given) …(i)
∠ABC = ∠ACB …(ii) (angle opposite to equal sides are equal)
Also BD = EC (given) …(iii)
From (i), (ii) and (iii), we have
ΔABD = ΔAEC (by SAS congruency property)
⇒ AD = AE (by c.p.c.t)
Hence, ΔADE is (RBSESolutions.com) an isosceles triangle.
Hence proved.
Question 2.
In figure, BA ⊥ AC, DE ⊥ EF, such that BA = DE and BF = CD, prove that AC = EF.
Solution.
To prove: AC = EF, we have to prove
ΔABC = ΔDEF
Here BA = DE (given) …(i)
BA ⊥ AC and DE ⊥ FE
∠BAC = ∠DEF = 90° (each) …(ii)
Also BF = CD (given) …(iii)
Adding FC in equation (iii), we get
BF + FC = CD + FC
⇒ BC = FD …(iv)
From (i), (ii) and (iv), we get
ΔABC = ΔDEF (by RHS congruency property)
⇒ AC = EF (by c.p.c.t)
Hence proved.
Question 3.
In figure, CB = AD and AB = CD. Can we say ∠ABC and ∠ADC are equal? (RBSESolutions.com) Why?
Solution.
In ΔABC and ΔADC
AB = DC
AD = CB
and AC = AC
ΔABC = ΔADC (by SSS congruency property)
So, ∠ABC = ∠ADC (by c.p.c.t)
Hence proved.
Question 4.
In figure, CN ⊥ AB, DM ⊥ AB and CN = DM. Are OC and OD equal? Why?
Solution.
In ΔOMD and ΔONC
∠OMD = ∠ONC (each 90°)
∠MOD = ∠NOC (vertically opposite angles)
and CN = DM (given)
ΔOMD = ΔONC (by AAS property)
⇒ OC = OD (by c.p.c.t)
Hence proved.
Question 5.
In figure, ∠A = 35°, ∠ABC = 100° and BD ⊥ AC, prove that ΔBDC is an isosceles triangle.
Solution.
In ΔABC,
∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180° (the sum of the (RBSESolutions.com) interior angles of a Δ is equal to 180°)
35° + 100° + ∠C= 180°
⇒ ∠C = 180° – 135°
⇒ ∠C = 45°
But in ΔABD, BD ⊥ AC
i.e., ∠ADB = 90°
and ∠A = 35° (given)
∠ABD = 180° – 125° = 55°
∠DBC = 100° – 55° = 45°
Now, ∠DCB = ∠DBC = 45° (Proved above)
Hence BDC is an isosceles triangle.
Question 6.
In the given figure, O is the (RBSESolutions.com) middle point of both AB and CD. Prove that AC = BD and AC || BD.
Solution.
In Δ’s AOC and BOD
OA = OB
OC = OD
∠AOC = ∠BOD (vertically opposite angles)
ΔAOC = ΔBOD (by SAS congruence property)
Hence AC = BD (by c.p.c.t)
Also ∠OAC = ∠OBD (alt. angle)
AC || BD
Hence proved.
Question 7.
In figure, X and Y are the points (RBSESolutions.com) on equal sides of AB and AC such that AX = AY. Show that XC = BY.
Solution.
In ΔABC
AB = AC (given)
and AX = AY (given)
⇒ AB – AX = AC – AY
⇒ BX = CY ….(i)
Now in ΔBXC and ΔBYC
BX = CY [from (i)]
BC = BC (common)
∠B = ∠C (angle opp. to equal sides are equal)
ΔBXC = ΔBYC (by SAS property)
⇒ XC = BY (by c.p.c.t)
Hence proved.
Question 8.
In the following figures, two sides (RBSESolutions.com) of ΔABC, AB and BC and median AD are respectively equal to PQ, QR and median PM of ΔPQR.
Prove that: ΔABC = ΔPQR.
Solution.
According to question
AB = PQ (given)
Median AD = Median PM
and BC = QR
\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) BC = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) QR
BD = QM
ΔABD = ΔPQM (by SSS congruency property)
∠B = ∠Q (by c.p.c.t)
Now in ΔABC and ΔPQR
AB = PQ (given)
∠B = ∠Q (proved above)
and BC = QR (given)
ΔABC = ΔPQR (by SAS congruency property)
Hence proved.
Question 9.
In figure, side QR of ΔPQR is (RBSESolutions.com) produced on both sides such that ∠PQS = ∠PRT. Prove that PQ = PR.
Solution.
In ΔPQR
∠PQS + ∠PQR = 180° (linear pair angles)
⇒ ∠PQS + ∠q = 180°
⇒ ∠q = 180° – ∠PQS …(i)
Also ∠r = 180° – ∠PRT …(ii)
But ∠PQS = ∠PRT (given) …(iii)
From (iii), eqn (i) becomes
∠q = 180° – ∠PRT …(iv)
Now from (ii) and (iv), we have
∠q = ∠r
i.e., ∠PQR = ∠PRQ
⇒ PR = PQ (converse of isosceles A theorem)
Hence proved.
Question 10.
Prove that the medians bisecting (RBSESolutions.com) the equal sides of an isosceles triangle are equal.
Solution.
Given: In ΔABC, D and E are mid-points of AB and AC respectively.
To prove: BE = CD
Proof: Since triangle ABC is (RBSESolutions.com) an isosceles triangle, then
AB = AC …(i)
and ∠ABC = ∠ACB …(ii)
D and E are mid-points of AB and AC respectively,
then DB = DA and EC = AE …(iii)
Now, in ΔBCD and ΔBCE
BC = BC (common)
∠DBC = ∠ECB by (ii)
BD = CE by (iii)
ΔBCD = ΔBCE (by SAS congruency rule)
⇒ BE = CD
Hence proved.
Long Answer Type Questions
Question 1.
“If two sides of a triangle are unequal (RBSESolutions.com) then the longer side has greater angle opposite to it.” Prove it.
Solution.
Given: A ΔABC in which AC > AB (say)
To prove: ∠ABC > ∠ACB
Construction: Mark a point D on AC such that AB = AD.
Join BD.
Proof: In ΔABD
AB = AD (by construction)
⇒ ∠1 = ∠2 …(i) (angles opposite to equal sides are equal)
Now in ΔBCD
∠2 > ∠DCB (ext. angle is greater than (RBSESolutions.com) one of the opposite interior angles)
⇒ ∠2 > ∠ACB …(ii) [∵ ∠ACB = ∠DCB]
From (i) and (ii), we get
∠1 > ∠ACB …(iii)
But ∠1 is a part of ∠ABC
∠ABC > ∠1 …..(iv)
Now from (iii) and (iv), we get
∠ABC > ∠ACB
Hence proved.
Question 2.
In figure, PQR is a triangle and S is (RBSESolutions.com) any point in its interior, show that SQ + SR < PQ + PR.
Solution.
Given: S is any point in the interior of ΔPQR
To prove: SQ + SR < PQ + PR
Construction: Produce QS to meet PR in T.
Proof: In ΔPQT PQ + PT > QT (sum of two sides of Δ is greater than third side)
or, PQ + PT > QS + ST …(i)
Also in ΔRST
ST + TR > RS …(ii)
Adding (i) and (ii), we get
PQ + PT + ST + TR > SQ + ST + SR
⇒ PQ + (PT + TR) > SQ + SR
⇒ PQ + PR > SQ + SR
Hence proved.
Question 3.
In figure, T is a point on side QR of ΔPQR and S is (RBSESolutions.com) a point such that RT = ST. Prove that PQ + PR > QS.
Solution.
In ΔPQR, we have
PQ + PR > QR (the sum of two sides of a triangle is greater than third side).
⇒ PQ + PR > QT + TR [∵ QT + TR = QR]
⇒ PQ + PR > QT + ST …(i) [∵ TR = ST]
In ΔQST, we have
QT + ST > QS …(ii)
From (i) and (ii), we get
PQ + PR > QS.
Hence proved.
Question 4.
In figure, side AB and AC are produced (RBSESolutions.com) to point D and E respectively. Bisectors BO and CO of ∠DBC and ∠ECB respectively meet at O. If AB > AC. Prove that OC > OB.
Solution.
Given: ABC is a triangle in which AB and AC is produced up to D and E respectively and bisectors of ∠DBC and ∠ECB meet at O. Also AB > AC.
To prove: OC > OB
Proof: In ΔABC
AB > AC
⇒ ∠ACB > ∠ABC …(i)
Also BO and CO are the bisectors of ∠DBC and ∠BCE respectively.
∠OBD = ∠OBC
and ∠OCB = ∠OCE
∠ACB = 180° – ∠BCE
⇒ ∠ACB = 180° – 2∠OCB …(ii)
Similarly ∠ABC = 180° – 2 ∠OBC…(iii)
From (i), (ii) and (iii), we have
180° – 2∠OCB > 180° – 2∠OBC
⇒ – 2∠OCB > – 2∠OBC
⇒ ∠OBC > ∠OCB
⇒ OC > OB
Hence proved.
Question 5.
If figure, ABCD is a quadrilateral. Prove that AB + BC + CD + DA > AC + BD.
Solution.
In ΔABC
AB + BC > AC …(i) (the sum of (RBSESolutions.com) any two sides of a Δ is greater than third side)
Also in ΔADC
AD + DC > AC …(ii) (reason as above)
Similarly in ΔABD and ΔBCD
AB + AD > BD …(iii)
BC + CD >BD …(iv)
Adding (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), we get
2AB + 2BC + 2AD + 2CD > 2AC + 2BD
⇒ AB + BC + CD + DA > AC + BD
Hence proved.
Question 6.
In the given figure, PQRS is a quadrilateral. PQ is its (RBSESolutions.com) longest side and RS is its shortest side. Prove that: ∠R > ∠P and ∠S > ∠Q.
Solution.
Given: PQRS is a quadrilateral. PQ is its (RBSESolutions.com) longest side and RS is its shortest side.
To prove: ∠R > ∠P and ∠S > ∠Q
Construction: Join PR and QS.
Proof: In ΔPQR
PQ is longest side (given)
PQ > QR
⇒ ∠5 > ∠2 …(i) (∠ opposite to longer side is greater)
In ΔPSR
RS is the shortest side (given)
PS > RS
⇒ ∠6 > ∠1 …(ii)
Adding (i) and (ii), we get
∠5 + ∠6 > ∠1 + ∠2
⇒ ∠R > ∠P
Now in ΔPQS, PQ is the (RBSESolutions.com) longest side
PQ > PS
⇒ ∠8 > ∠3 …(iii)
In ΔSRQ, RS is the shortest side
RQ > RS …(iv)
⇒ ∠7 > ∠4
Adding (iii) and (iv), we get
∠7 + ∠8 > ∠3 + ∠4
∠S > ∠Q
Hence proved.
