  • Question 1/10
    1 / -0

    In a right angled triangle ABC, angle B = 90o and BD is perpendicular on hypotenuse AC, AB = a, BC = b, CA = c & BD = h, then:

    Solutions

    Solution: Since it is a right angle triangle, therefore area of right angled triangle = ½ a*b = ½ h*c.

    From above relation: ab = hc. i.e. 1/h = c/ab. Now on squaring both side. 1/h2 = c2/a2b2.

    c2/a2b2 = a2+b2/a2b2 = 1/a2 +1/b2. Hence 1/h2 = 1/a2 +1/b2

     

  • Question 2/10
    1 / -0

    The median drawn from the right angled vertex to the hypotenuse of a triangle is equals to:

    Solutions

    Solution: Median joins the vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. Now we know that triangle in a semi-circle with one side as diameter is right triangle. Therefore median thus drawn from the right angled vertex to the midpoint of hypotenuse is also a radius. And hence, it is equals to ½ * hypotenuse as it is also diameter.

  • Question 3/10
    1 / -0

    In a right angled triangle ABC, angle C = 90o and CD is the perpendicular on Hypotenuse AB. If BC = 15 cm and AC = 20cm then CD is equal to:

    Solutions

    Solution: By Pythagoras Theorem: a2 + b2 = c2.

    C2 = 152 + 202, C = 25. Now since it is a right angle triangle, therefore area of right angled triangle = ½ a*b = ½ h*c. Hence from above relation: ab = hc. Therefore CD = (15*20)/25 = 12.

  • Question 4/10
    1 / -0

    In a right angled triangle ABC, angle B = 90o if P and Q are points on the sides AB & BC respectively, Then CP2 + QA2 is equals to:

    Solutions

    AB2 + CB2 = AC2, PB2 + BQ2 = PQ2

    AB2 + QB2 = QA2, CB2 + PB2 = CP2

    Hence from above equations: CP2 + QA2 = AB2 + QB2 + CB2 + PB2 = AC2 + PQ2

  • Question 5/10
    1 / -0

    In a triangle the length of the median drawn from the highest angle to the greatest side is equals to half of the longest side. Then the triangle is:

    Solutions

    Solution: we know that triangle in a semi-circle with one side as diameter is right triangle. Therefore median thus drawn from the right angled vertex to the midpoint of hypotenuse is also a radius. And hence, it is equals to ½ * hypotenuse as it is also diameter which is the greatest side. Hence answer is right triangle.

  • Question 6/10
    1 / -0

    In the adjoining figure if AC = 5cm, AD = 3cm & DB = 7cm. Find the length of AE. Given that DE is parallel to BC.

    Solutions

    Solution: Since triangle ABC is similar to triangle ADE. Therefore,

    AE/AD = AC/AB = 5/3+7 = 5/10.

    Now, AE = ½ * AD = ½ *3 = 1.5cm

  • Question 7/10
    1 / -0

    In the figure QA & PB are perpendicular to AB. If AO = 10cm, BO = 6cm and PB = 9 cm. Find AQ.

    Solutions

    Solution: Triangle AOQ is similar to triangle POB. Hence, AQ/PB = AO/BO. AQ = AO/BO * PB = 10/6 * 9 = 15cm

  • Question 8/10
    1 / -0

    In the given figure angle BDE is equals to angle ACB. BD = DE = 6cm, AC = 18cm & AD = 3cm. Find the Value of BE?

    Solutions

    Solution: Triangle ABC is similar to BDE. (One angle is common and another is given as equal).

    BE/AB = DE/AC, BE = DE/AC * AB = DE/AC * (AD+DB) = 6/8 * 9 = 3cm

  • Question 9/10
    1 / -0

    In the given figure AF, BD & CE are perpendicular to AC. Then, Which of the relation is correct? 

    Solutions

    Solution: The triangle ACF is similar to triangle BCD. Hence, CB/AC = BD/AF. Similarly the triangle ABD is similar to ACE. Hence, AB/AC = BD/CE.

    Now, on adding both the relation: BD/AF + BD/CE = CB/AC + AB/AC

    BD (1/AF + 1/CE) = (CB+AB)/AC,

    1/AF + 1/CE = 1/BD

  • Question 10/10
    1 / -0

    In the given circle O is the centre of the circle and AD, AE are two tangents. BC is also a tangent at P, then which of the relation is true?

    Solutions

    Solution: BE = BP & CD = CP, since tangent from the same point on a circle is equal.

    Therefore, AE=AD. Now, AD = AC+CD = AC+CP

    AE = AB + BE = AB + BP.

    Therefore AE + AD = AC + CP + AB +BP

    2AE = AC + AB + CP + BP = AB +AC + BC
