Question 15.
Solution:
AB is the ladder and A is window.
AB =10 m, AC = 8 m
RS Aggarwal Class 10 Solutions Chapter 4 Triangles Ex 4E 5
We have to find the distance of BC
Let BC = x m
In right ∆ABC,
AB² = AC² + BC² (Pythagoras Theorem)
(10)² = 8² + x²
⇒ 100 = 64 + x²
⇒ x² = 100 – 64 = 36 = (6)²
x = 6
Distance between foot of ladder and base of the wall = 6 m.

Question 16.
Solution:
∆ABC is an equilateral triangle with side = 2a cm
AD ⊥ BC
and AD bisects BC at D
RS Aggarwal Class 10 Solutions Chapter 4 Triangles Ex 4E 6
Now, in right ∆ABD,
AB² = AD² + BD² (Pythagoras Theorem)
⇒ (2a)² = AD² + (a)²
⇒ 4a² = AD² + a²
⇒ AD² = 4a² – a² = 3a²
AD = √3 a² = √3 a cm

Question 17.

Question 21.
Solution:
ABCD is a rhombus whose sides are equal and diagonals AC and BD bisect each other at right angles.
RS Aggarwal Class 10 Solutions Chapter 4 Triangles Ex 4E 14
∠AOB = 90° and AO = OC, BO = OD
AO = \(\frac { 24 }{ 2 }\) = 12 cm
and BO = \(\frac { 10 }{ 2 }\) = 5 cm
Now, in right ∆AOB,
AB² = AO² + BO² (Pythagoras Theorem)
= (12)² + (5)² = 144 + 25 = 169 = (13)²
AB = 13
Each side of rhombus = 13 cm

Question 22.
Solution:
∆DEF ~ ∆GHK
∠D = ∠G = 48°
∠E = ∠H = 57°
∠F = ∠K
RS Aggarwal Class 10 Solutions Chapter 4 Triangles Ex 4E 15
Now, in ∆DEF,
∠D + ∠E + ∠F = 180° (Angles of a triangle)
⇒ 48° + 57° + ∠F = 180°
⇒ 105° + ∠F= 180°
⇒ ∠F= 180°- 105° = 75°

Question 25.
Solution:
In ∆ABC,
AB = AC = 25 cm
BC = 14 cm
RS Aggarwal Class 10 Solutions Chapter 4 Triangles Ex 4E 19
AD ⊥ BC which bisects the base BC at D.
BD = DC = \(\frac { 14 }{ 2 }\) = 7 cm
Now, in right ∆ABD,
AB² = AD² + BD² (Pythagoras Theorem)
(25)² = AD² + 7²
625 = AD² + 49
⇒ AD² = 625 – 49 = 576
⇒ AD² = 576 = (24)²
AD = 24 cm
Length of altitude = 24 cm

Question 26.
Solution:
A man goes 12 m due north of point O reaching A and then 37 m due west reaching B.
RS Aggarwal Class 10 Solutions Chapter 4 Triangles Ex 4E 20
Join OB,
In right ∆OAB,
OB² = OA² + AB² (Pythagoras Theorem)
= (12)² + (35)² = 144 + 1225 = 1369 = (37)²
OB = 37 m
The man is 37 m away from his starting point.

p, q and r are the lengths of AM, MB and BC Express the length of MN in terms of p, q and r.
In ∆ABC,
∠AMN = ∠MBC = 76°

Question 29.
Solution:
In rhombus ABCD,
Diagonals AC and BD bisect each other at O at right angles.

AO = OC = \(\frac { 40 }{ 2 }\) = 20 cm
BO = OD = \(\frac { 42 }{ 2 }\) = 21 cm
Now, in right ∆AOB,
AB2 = AO2 + BO2 = (20)2 + (21)2 = 400 + 441 = 841
AB = √841 cm = 29 cm
