RS Aggarwal Solutions Class 10 Chapter 4 Triangles EX 4B

Question 1.
Solution:
We know that two triangles are similarity of their corresponding angles are equal and corresponding sides are proportional.
(i) In ∆ABC and ∆PQR
∠A = ∠Q = 50°
∠B = ∠P = 60° and ∠C = ∠R = 70°
∆ABC ~ ∆QPR (AAA axiom)
(ii) In ∆ABC and ∆DEF
In ∆ABC,
AB = 3 cm, BC = 4.5
and in ∆DEF
DF = 6 cm, DE = 9 cm
∆ABC is not similar to ∆DEF
As in ∆ABC, ∠A is not included of two sides AB and BC.
(iii) In ∆ABC and ∆PQR
In ∆ABC,
AC = 8 cm BC = 6 cm
Included ∠C = 80°
In ∆PQR,
PQ = 4.5 cm, QR = 6 cm
and included ∠Q = 80°

(v) In ∆ABC,
∠A = 80°, ∠C = 70°
and third angle
∠B = 180° – (80° + 70°)
⇒ ∠B = 180° – 150° = 30°
In ∆MNR,
∠M = 80°, ∠N = 30°, and ∠R = [180° – (80° + 30°)]
∠R = 180° – 110° = 70°
Now, in ∆ABC
∠A = ∠M – 80°, ∠B = ∠N = 30°
and ∠C = ∠R = 70°
∆ABC ~ ∆MNR (AAA or AA axiom)

Question 2.
Solution:
In the given figure, ∆ODC ~ ∆OBA and ∠BOC =115°, ∠CDO = 70°

To find :
(i) ∠DOC
(ii) ∠DCO
(iii) ∠OAB
(iv) ∠OBA
∆ODC ~ ∆OBA
∠D = ∠B = 70°
∠C = ∠A
∠COD = ∠AOB
(i) But ∠DOC + ∠BOC = 180° (Linear pair)
⇒ ∠DOC + 115°= 180°
⇒ ∠DOC = 180° – 115° = 65°
(ii) ∠DOC + ∠CDO + ∠DCO = 180° (Angles of a triangle)
⇒ 65° + 70° + ∠DCO = 180°
⇒ 135° + ∠DCO = 180°
⇒ ∠DCO = 180° – 135°
∠DCO = 45°
(iii) ∠AOB = ∠DOC = 65° (vertically opposite angles)
∠OAB = ∠DCO = 45° (∆ODC ~ ∆OBA)
(iv) ∠OBA = ∠CDO = 70° (∆ODC ~ ∆OBA)

Proof: (i) In ∆ADE and ∆ABC
∠ADE = ∠B (given)
∠A = ∠A (common)
∆ADE ~ ∆ABC (AA axiom)

Question 5.
Solution:
∆ABC ~ ∆PQR,
PQ = 12 cm
To find AB.
Perimeter of ∆ABC = AB + BC + CA = 32 cm
Perimeter of ∆PQR = PQ + QR + RP = 24 cm
Now,
∆ABC ~ ∆PQR

Question 6.

If AC = 75 cm, AB = 1 m or 100 cm,
BC = 1.25 m or 125 cm
Find AD.
∆BDA ~ ∆BAC (corresponding sides and proportional)

Question 8.
Solution:
In the given figure,
∠ABC = 90°, BD ⊥ AC.
AB = 5.7 cm, BD = 3.8 cm, CD = 5.4 cm
To find BC,
In ∆ABC and ∆BDC,
∠ABC = ∠BDC (each 90°)
∠BCA = ∠BCD (common)
∆ABC ~ ∆BDC (AA axiom)
Corresponding sides are proportional

Question 9.

In the given figure, ”
∠ABC = 90°, BD ⊥ AC
BD = 8 cm, AD = 4cm

To prove : AF x FB = EF x FD
Proof: In ∆AFD and ∆BFE
∠AFD = ∠BFE (vertically opposite angles)
∠ADF = ∠FBE (alternate angles)
∆AFD ~ ∆BFE (AA axiom)
AFEF = FDFB
By cross multiplication,
⇒ AF x FB = EF x FD
Hence proved.

AP x BQ = AC²
To prove : ∆ACP ~ ∆BCQ
Proof: In ∆ABC,
CA = CB
∠CAB = ∠CBA (Angles opposite to equal sides)
⇒ 180° – ∠CAB = 180° – ∠CBA (Subtracting each from 180°)

AP x BQ = AC² (given)

(b) PA . PB = PC . PD
Proof:
(a) In ∆PAC and ∆PDB
∠APC = ∠BPD (Vertically opposite angles)
∠A = ∠D (Angles in the same segment)
∆PAC ~ ∆PDB (AA axiom)
PAPD = PCPB
⇒ PA x PB = PC x PD
Hence proved.

Question 18.
Solution:
In a circle, two chords AB and CD intersect each other at the point P outside the circle.
AC and BD are joined.

To prove :
(a) ∆PAC ~ ∆PDB
(b) PA . PB = PC . PD
Proof: In the circle, quadrilateral ABDC is a cyclic.
Ext. ∠PAC = ∠D
Now, in ∆PDB and ∆PAC
∠P = ∠P (common)
∠PAC = ∠D (proved)
∆PDB ~ ∆PAC (AA axiom)
or ∆PAC ~ ∆PBD
PAPD = PCPB
⇒ PA . PB = PC . PD
Hence proved

Question 19.
Solution:
Given : In right ∆ABC, ∠B = 90°
D is a point on hypotenuse AC such that
BD ⊥ AC and DP ⊥ AB and DQ ⊥ BC.

To prove :
(a) DQ² = DP . QC
(b) DP² = DQ . AP
Proof: AB ⊥ BC and DQ ⊥ BC
AB || DQ
DP ⊥ AB
DP || BC
Now, AB or PB || DQ and BC or BQ || DP BQDP is a rectangle
BQ = DP and BP = DQ
Now, in right ∆BQD
∠1 + ∠2 = 90° …..(i)
Similarly in rt. ∆DQC,
∠3 + ∠4 = 90° (DQ ⊥ BC) …(ii)
and in right ∆BDC,
∠2 + ∠3 = 90° …(iii)
∠BDC = 90° (BD ⊥ AC)
From (i) and (ii),
∠1 = ∠3
and from (ii) and (iii),
∠2 = ∠4
Now, in ∆BQD and ∆DQC
∠1 = ∠3
∠2 = ∠4 (proved)
∆BQD ~ ∆DQC (AA axiom)
BQDQ = DQQC
⇒ DQ² = BQ x QC
⇒ DQ² = DP x QC
(b) Similarly, we can prove that
∆PDA ~ ∆PBD
PDPB = APDP
⇒ DP² = BP x AP
⇒ DP² = DQ . AP (BP = DQ)
Hence proved.
