Question 12.
Solution:
In two triangles ∆ABC and ∆PQR,
AB = 3 cm, AC = 6 cm, ∠A = 70°
PR = 9 cm, ∠P = 70° and PQ= 4.5 cm

Question 13.
Solution:
∆ABC ~ ∆DEF
2AB = DE, BC = 6 cm

Question 14.
Solution:
In the given figure,
DE || BC
AD = x cm, DB = (3x + 4) cm
AE = (x + 3) cm and EC = (3x + 19) cm

Question 15.
Solution:
AB is the ladder and A is window.
AB =10 m, AC = 8 m

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

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.
Solution:
Given : ∆ABC ~ ∆DEF
and ar (∆ABC) = 64 cm²
and ar (∆DEF) = 169 cm², BC = 4 cm.

Question 18.
Solution:
In trape∠ium ABCD,
AB || CD
AB = 2CD
Diagonals AC and BD intersect each other at O
and area(∆AOB) = 84 cm².

Question 19.
Solution:
Let ∆ABC ~ ∆DEF

Question 20.
Solution:
In an equiangular ∆ABC,
AB = BC = CA = a cm.
Draw AD ⊥ BC which bisects BC at D.

Question 21.
Solution:
ABCD is a rhombus whose sides are equal and diagonals AC and BD bisect each other at right angles.

∠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

Now, in ∆DEF,
∠D + ∠E + ∠F = 180° (Angles of a triangle)
⇒ 48° + 57° + ∠F = 180°
⇒ 105° + ∠F= 180°
⇒ ∠F= 180°- 105° = 75°

Question 23.
Solution:
In the given figure,
In ∆ABC,
MN || BC
AM : MB = 1 : 2

Question 24.
Solution:
In ∆BMP,
PB = 5 cm, MP = 6 cm and BM = 9 cm
and in ∆CNR, NR = 9 cm

Question 25.
Solution:
In ∆ABC,
AB = AC = 25 cm
BC = 14 cm

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.

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.

Question 27.
Solution:
In ∆ABC, AD is the bisector of ∠A which meets BC at D.
AB = c, BC = a, AC = b

Question 28.
Solution:
In the given figure, ∠AMN = ∠MBC = 76°
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°
But there are corresponding angles
MN || BC
∆AMN ~ ∆ABC

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

Each side of rhombus = 29 cm

For each of the following statements state whether true (T) or false (F):
Question 30.
Solution:
(i) True.
(ii) False, as sides will not be proportion in each case.
(iii) False, as corresponding sides are proportional, not necessarily equal.
(iv) True.
(v) False, in ∆ABC,
AB = 6 cm, ∠A = 45° and AC = 8 cm

(vi) False, the polygon joining the midpoints of a quadrilateral is not a rhombus but it is a parallelogram.
(vii) True.
(viii) True.
(ix) True, O is any point in rectangle ABCD then
OA² + OC² = OB² + OD² is true.

(x) True.
