Question 1.
Choose the correct alternative answer and fill in the blanks.

i. If all pairs of adjacent sides of a quadrilateral are congruent, then it is called ____.
(A) rectangle
(B) parallelogram
(C) trapezium
(D) rhombus
Answer:
(D) rhombus

ii. If the diagonal of a square is 22√2 cm, then the perimeter of square is ____.
(A) 24 cm
(B) 24√2 cm
(C) 48 cm
(D) 48√2 cm
Answer:
In ∆ABC,
AC² = AB² + BC²

∴ (12² √2 )² = AB² + AB²
∴ \( A B^{2}=\frac{12^{2} \times 2}{2}=12^{2}\)
∴ AB = 12 cm
∴ Perimeter of □ABCD = 4 x 12 = 48 cm
(C) 48 cm

iii. If opposite angles of a rhombus are (2x)° and (3x – 40)°, then the value of x is ____.
(A) 100°
(B) 80°
(C) 160°
(D) 40°
Answer:
2x = 3x – 40 … [Pythagoras theorem]
∴ x = 40°
(D) 40°

Question 2.
Adjacent sides of a rectangle are 7 cm and 24 cm. Find the length of its diagonal.
Solution:

Let □ABCD be the rectangle.
AB = 7 cm, BC = 24 cm
In ∆ABC, ∠B = 90° [Angle of a rectangle]
AC² = AB² + BC² [Pythagoras theorem]
= 7² + 24²
= 49 + 576
= 625
AC = √625 [Taking square root of both sides]
= 25 cm
∴ The length of the diagonal of the rectangle is 25 cm.

Question 3.
If diagonal of a square is 13 cm, then find its side.
Solution:

Let □PQRS be the square of side x cm.
∴ PQ = QR = x cm …..(i) [Sides of a square]
∴ In ∆PQR, ∠Q = 90° [Angle of a square]
∴ PR² = PQ² + QR² [Pythagoras theorem]
∴ 13 = x + x [From (i)]
∴ 169 = 2x²

The length of the side of the square is 6.5√2 cm.

Question 4.
Ratio of two adjacent sides of a parallelogram is 3 : 4, and its perimeter is 112 cm. Find the length of its each side.
Solution:

Let □STUV be the parallelogram.
Ratio of two adjacent sides of a parallelogram is 3 : 4.
Let the common multiple be x.
ST = 3x cm and TU = 4x cm
∴ ST = UV = 3x cm
TU = SV = 4x cm …..(i) [Opposite sides of a parallelogram]
Perimeter of □STUV = 112 [Given]
∴ ST + TU + UV + SV = 112
∴ 3x + 4x + 3x + 4x = 112 [From (i)]
∴ 14x = 112
∴ x = \(\frac { 112 }{ 14 }\)
∴ x = 8
∴ ST = UV = 3x = 3 x 8 = 24 cm
∴ TU = SV = 4x = 4 x 8 = 32 cm [From (i)]
∴ The lengths of the sides of the parallelogram are 24 cm, 32 cm, 24 cm and 32 cm.

Question 5.
Diagonals PR and QS of a rhombus PQRS are 20 cm and 48 cm respectively. Find the length of side PQ.
Solution:

□PQRS is a rhombus. [Given]
PR = 20 cm and QS = 48 cm [Given]
∴ PT = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) PR [Diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other]
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 20 = 10 cm
Also, QT = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) QS [Diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other]
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 48 = 24 cm

ii. In ∆PQT, ∠PTQ = 90° [Diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular to each other]
∴ PQ² = PT² + QT² [Pythagoras- theorem]
= 10² + 24²
= 100 + 576
∴ PQ² = 676
∴ PQ = \(\sqrt {676 }\) [Taking square root of both sides]
= 26 cm
∴ The length of side PQ is 26 cm.

Question 6.
Diagonals of a rectangle PQRS are intersecting in point M. If ∠QMR = 50°, then find the measure of ∠MPS.
Solution:

□PQRS is a rectangle.
∴ PM = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) PR …(i)
MS = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) QS …(ii) [Diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other]
Also, PR = QS …..(iii) [Diagonals of a rectangle are congruent]
∴ PM = MS ….(iv) [From (i), (ii) and (iii)]
In ∆PMS,
PM = MS [From (iv)]
∴ ∠MSP = ∠MPS = x° …..(v) [Isosceles triangle theorem]
∠PMS = ∠QMR = 50° ……(vi) [Vertically opposite angles]
In ∆MPS,
∠PMS + ∠MPS + ∠MSP = 180° [Sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180°]
∴ 50° +x + x = 180° [From (v) and (vi)]
∴ 50° + 2x= 180
∴ 2x= 180-50
∴ 2x= 130
∴ x = \(\frac { 130 }{ 2 }\) = 65°
∴ ∠MPS = 65° [From (v)]

Practice Set 6.2 Geometry 9th Std Maths Part 2 Answers Chapter 6 Circle

Question 1.
Radius of circle is 10 cm. There are two chords of length 16 cm each. What will be the distance of these chords from the centre of the circle ?
Given: In a circle with centre O,
OR and OP are radii and RS and PQ are its congruent chords.
PQ = RS= 16 cm,
OR = OP = 10 cm
seg OU ⊥ chord PQ, P-U-Q
seg OT ⊥ chord RS, R-T-S
To find: Distance of chords from centre of the circle.
Solution:

i. PU = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\)(PQ) [Perpendicular drawn from the centre of the circle to the chord bisects the chord.]
∴ PU= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 16 = 8 cm …(i)

ii. In ∆OUP, ∠OUP = 90°
∴ OP² = OU² + PU² [Pythagoras theorem]
∴ 10² = OU² + 8² [From (i)]
∴ 100 = OU² + 64
∴ OU² = 100 – 64 = 36
∴ OU = √36 [Taking square root on both sides]
∴ OU = 6 cm

iii. Now, OT = OU [Congruent chords of a circle are equidistant from the centre.]
∴ OT = OU = 6cm
∴ The distance of the chords from the centre of the circle is 6 cm.

Question 2.
In a circle with radius 13 cm, two equal chords are at a distance of 5 cm from the centre. Find the lengths of chords.
Given: In a circle with cente O,
OA and OC are the radii and AB and CD are its congruent chords,
OA = OC = 13cm
0E = OF = 5 cm
seg 0E ⊥ chord CD, C-E-D
seg OF ⊥ chord AB. A-F-B
To find: length of the chords
Solution:

i. In ∆AFO, ∠AFO = 90°
∴ AO² = AF² + FO² [Pythagoras theorem]
∴ 13² = AF² + 5²
∴ 169 = AF² + 25
∴ AF² = 169-25
∴ AF² = 144
∴ AF = \(\sqrt { 144 }\) [Taking square root on both sides]
∴ AF = 12 cm …..(i)

ii. Now AF = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\)AB [Perpendicular drawn from the centre of the circle to the chord bisects the chord.]
∴ 12 = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) (AB) [From (i)]
∴ AB = 12 x 2 = 24 cm
∴ CD = AB = 24 cm [chord AB ≅ chord CD]
∴ The lengths of the two chords are 24 cm each.

Question 3.
Seg PM and seg PN are congruent chords of a circle with centre C. Show that the ray PC is the bisector of ∠NPM.
Given: Point C is the centre of the circle.
chord PM ≅ chord PN
To prove: Ray PC is the bisector of ∠NPM.
Construction: Draw seg CR ⊥ chord PN, P-R-N
seg CQ ⊥ chord PM, P-Q-M
Proof:

chord PM chord PN [Given]
seg CR ⊥ chord PN
seg CQ ⊥ chord PM [Construction]
∴ segCR ≅ segCQ ….(i) [Congruent chords are equidistant from the centre]
In ∆PRC and ∆PQC,
∠PRC ≅ ∠PQC [Each is of 90°]
segCR ≅ segCQ [From (i)]
seg PC ≅ seg PC [Common side]
∴ ∆PRC ≅ ∆PQC [Hypotenuse side test]
∴ ∠RPC ≅ ∠QPC [c. a. c. t.]
∴ ∠NPC ≅ ∠MPC [N- R-P, M-Q-P]
∴ Ray PC is the bisector of ∠NPM.

Question 1.
Diagonals of a parallelogram WXYZ intersect each other at point O. If ∠XYZ∠ = 135°, then measure of ∠XWZ and ∠YZW? If l(OY) = 5 cm, then l(WY) = ?
Solution:

i. ∠XYZ = 135°
□WXYZ is a parallelogram.
∠XWZ = ∠XYZ
∴ ∠XWZ = 135° …..(i)

ii. ∠YZW + ∠XYZ = 180° [Adjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary]
∴ ∠YZW + 135°= 180° [From (i)]
∴ ∠YZW = 180°- 135°
∴ ∠YZW = 45°

iii. l(OY) = 5 cm [Given]
l(OY) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) l(WY) [Diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other]
∴ l(WY) = 2 x l(OY)
= 2 x 5
∴ l(WY) = 10 cm
∴∠XWZ = 135°, ∠YZW = 45°, l(WY) = 10 cm

Question 2.
In a parallelogram ABCD, if ∠A = (3x + 12)°, ∠B = (2x – 32)°, then liptl the value of x and the measures of ∠C and ∠D.
Solution:

□ABCD is a parallelogram. [Given]
∴ ∠A + ∠B = 180° [Adjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary],
∴ (3x + 12)° + (2x-32)° = 180°
∴ 3x + 12 + 2x – 32 = 180
∴ 5x – 20 = 180
∴ 5x= 180 + 20
∴ 5x = 200
∴ x = \(\frac { 200 }{ 5 }\)
∴ x = 40

ii. ∠A = (3x + 12)°
= [3(40) + 12]°
=(120 +12)°= 132°
∠B = (2x – 32)°
= [2(40) – 32]°
= (80 – 32)° = 48°
∴ ∠C = ∠A = 132°
∠D = ∠B = 48° [Opposite angles of a parallelogram]
∴ The value of x is 40, and the measures of ∠C and ∠D are 132° and 48° respectively.

Question 3.
Perimeter of a parallelogram is 150 cm. One of its sides is greater than the other side by 25 cm. Find the lengths of all sides.
Solution:

i. Let □ABCD be the parallelogram and the length of AD be x cm.
One side is greater than the other by 25 cm.
∴ AB = x + 25 cm
AD = BC = x cm
AB = DC = (x + 25) cm [Opposite angles of a parallelogram]

ii. Perimeter of □ABCD = 150 cm [Given]
∴ AB + BC + DC + AD = 150
∴ (x + 25) +x + (x + 25) + x – 150
∴ 4x + 50 = 150
∴ 4x = 150 – 50
∴ 4x = 100
∴ x = \(\frac { 100 }{ 4 }\)
∴ x = 25

iii. AD = BC = x = 25 cm
AB = DC = x + 25 = 25 + 25 = 50 cm
∴ The lengths of the sides of the parallelogram are 25 cm, 50 cm, 25 cm and 50 cm.

Question 4.
If the ratio of measures of two adjacent angles of a parallelogram is 1 : 2, find the measures of all angles of the parallelogram.
Solution:

i. Let □ABCD be the parallelogram.
The ratio of measures of two adjacent angles of a parallelogram is 1 : 2.
Let the common multiple be x.
∴ ∠A = x° and ∠B = 2x°
∠A + ∠B = 180° [Adjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary]
∴ x + 2x = 180
∴ 3x = 180
∴ x = \(\frac { 180 }{ 3 }\)
∴ x = 60

ii. ∠A = x° = 60°
∠B = 2x° = 2 x 60° = 120°
∠A = ∠C = 60°
∠B = ∠D= 120° [Opposite angles of a parallelogram]
∴ The measures of the angles of the parallelogram are 60°, 120°, 60° and 120°.

Question 5.
Diagonals of a parallelogram intersect each other at point O. If AO = 5, BO show that □ABCD is a rhombus.

Given: AO = 5, BO = 12 and AB = 13.
To prove: □ABCD is a rhombus.
Solition:
Proof:
AO = 5, BO = 12, AB = 13 [Given]
AO² + BO² = 5² + 12²
= 25 + 144
∴ AO² + BO² = 169 …..(i)
AB² = 13² = 169 ….(ii)
∴ AB² = AO² + BO² [From (i) and (ii)]
∴ ∆AOB is a right-angled triangle. [Converse of Pythagoras theorem]
∴ ∠AOB = 90°
∴ seg AC ⊥ seg BD …..(iii) [A-O-C]

∴ AP = QC ….(iii) [From (i) and (ii)]
Also, AB || DC [Opposite angles of a parallelogram]

∴ El = FI ……(i)
Point G is the centroid of ∆DEF.
∴ \(\frac { DG }{ GI }\) = \(\frac { 2 }{ 1 }\) [Centroid divides each median in the ratio 2:1]
∴ DG = 2(GI)

∴ ∠BAS + ∠DAS + ∠ABQ + ∠CBQ = 180° [Angle addition property]
∴ x°+x°+ v° + v° = 180 [From (i) and (ii)]
∴ 2x° + 2v° =180
∴ x + y = 90° ……(v) [Dividing both sides by 2]
Also, ∠A + ∠D= 180° [Adjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary]
∴ ∠BAS + ∠DAS + ADS + ∠CDS = 180° [Angle addition property]

∴ 2x° + 2v° = 180°

In ∆ARB,
∠RAB + ∠RBA + ∠ARB = 180° [Sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180°]
∴ x° + y° + ∠SRQ = 180° [A – S – R, B – Q – R]
∴ 90° + ∠SRQ = 180° [From (v)]
∴ ∠SRQ = 180°- 90° = 90° …..(vi)
Similarly, we can prove
∠SPQ = 90° …(viii)
In ∆ASD,
∠ASD + ∠SAD + ∠SDA = 180° [Sum of the measures of angles a triangle is 180°]

∴∠ASD = 180°- 90° = 90°
∴ ∠PSR = ∠ASD [Vertically opposite angles]
∴ ∠PSR = 90° …..(ix)

∴ In □PQRS,
∠SRQ = ∠SPQ = ∠PSR = ∠PQR = 90° [From (vii), (viii), (ix), (x)]

(A) 3.7 cm
(B) 4.1 cm
(C) 3.8 cm
(D) 3.4 cm
Answer:
Sum of the lengths of two sides of a triangle > length of the third side
Here, 1.5 cm + 3.4 cm = 4.9 cm < 5 cm
∴ Third side ≠ 3.4 cm
(D) 3.4 cm

(A) PQ < TP
(B) PQ < TQ
(C) TQ < TP < PQ
(D) PQ < TP < TQ
Answer:
∠Q = 180° – (95° + 65°) = 20°
∴ ∠Q < ∠T < ∠P
∴ PT < PQ < TQ
(B) PQ < TQ

Question 2.
∆ABC is isosceles in which AB = AC. Seg BD and seg CE are medians. Show that BD = CE.

Given: In isosceles ∆ABC, AB = AC. seg BD and seg CE are the medians of ∆ABC.

Proof: AE = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) AB …..(i) [E is the midpoint of side AB]
AD = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) AC ….(ii) [D is the midpoint of side AC]
Also, AB = AC ……(iii) [Given]
∴ AE = AD ….(iv) [From (i), (ii) and (iii)]
In ∆ADB and ∆AEC,

seg AB ≅ seg AC ∠BAD ≅ ∠CAE
seg AD ≅ seg AE
∴ ∆ADB ≅ ∆AEC
∴ seg BD ≅ seg CE
∴ BD = CE

Question 3.
In ∆PQR, if PQ > PR and bisectors of ∠Q and ∠R intersect at S. Show that SQ > SR.

Given: In APQR, PQ > PR and bisectors of ∠Q and ∠R intersect at S.
To prove: SQ > SR
Solution:
Proof:
∠SQR = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) ∠PQR ….(i) [Ray QS bisects ∠PQR]
∠SRQ = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) ∠PRQ ….(ii) [Ray RS bisects ∠PRQ]
In ∆PQR,
PQ > PR [Given]
∴ ∠R > ∠Q [Angle opposite to greater side is greater.]
∴ \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\)(∠R) > \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\)(∠Q) [Multiplying both sides by \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) ]
∴ ∠SRQ > ∠SQR ….(iii) [From (i) and (ii)]
In ∆SQR,
∠SRQ > ∠SQR [From (iii)]
∴ SQ > SR [Side opposite to greater angle is greater]

Question 4.

Given: Points D and E are on side BC of ∆ABC,
such that BD = CE and AD = AE.
To prove: ∆ABD ≅ ∆ACE
Proof:
In ∆ADE,
seg AD = seg AE [Given]
∴ ∠AED = ∠ADE …(i) [Isosceles triangle theorem]
Now, ∠ADE + ∠ADB = 180° …(ii) [Angles in a linear pair]
∴ ∠AED + ∠AEC = 180° ….(iii) [Angles in a linear pair]
∴ ∠ADE + ∠ADB = ∠AED + ∠AEC [From (ii) and (iii)]
∴ ∠ADE + ∠ADB = ∠ADE + ∠AEC [From (i)]
∴ ∠ADB = ∠AEC ….(iv) [Eliminating ∠ADE from both sides]
In ∆ABD and ∆ACE,
seg BD ≅ seg CE [Given]
∠ADB = ∠AEC [From (iv)]
seg AD ≅ seg AE [Given]

PQ + QS > PS …..(i) [Sum of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side]
Similarly, in ∆PSR,
PR + SR > PS …(ii) [Sum of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side]
∴ PQ + QS + PR + SR > PS + PS
∴ PQ + QS + SR + PR > 2PS
∴ PQ + QR + PR > 2PS [Q-S-R]

Question 6.
In the adjoining figure, bisector of ∠B AC intersects side BC at point D. Prove that AB > BD.

Given: Bisector of ∠BAC intersects side BC at point D.
To prove: AB > BD

Given: Seg PT is the bisector of ∠QPR.
To prove: PS = PR
Construction: Draw seg SR || seg PT.
Solution:
Proof:
seg PT is the bisector of ∠QPR. [Given]
∴ ∠QPT = ∠RPT ….(i)
seg PT || seg SR [Construction]
and seg QS is their transversal.

∴ ∠QPT = ∠PSR …(ii) [Corresponding angles]
seg PT || seg SR [Construction]
and seg PR is their transversal.

∴ ∠RPT = ∠PRS …..(iii) [Alternate angles]
∴ ∠PRS = ∠PSR …(iv) [From (i), (ii) and (iii)]
In ∆PSR,
∠PRS = ∠PSR [From (iv)]

Given: seg AD ⊥ seg BC
seg AE is the bisector of ∠CAB.
To prove: ∠DAE = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) (∠C – ∠B) [∵ AD ⊥ BC]
∴ ∠DAE = 180° – 90° – ∠AED
∴ ∠DAE = 90° – ∠AED  ….(ii)
Proof:
∴ ∠CAE = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\)∠A ….(i) [seg AE is the bisector of ∠CAB]
In ∆DAE,
∠DAE + ∠ADE + ∠AED = 180° [Sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180°]
∴ ∠DAE + 90° + ∠AED = 180° [∵ AD ⊥ BC]
∴ ∠DAE = 180° – 90° – ∠AED
∴ ∠DAE = 90° – ∠AED ….(ii)
In ∆ACE,
∴ ∠ACE + ∠CAE + ∠AEC = 180° [Sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180°]
∠C + -∠A + ∠AED = 180° [From (i) and C-D-E]
∴ ∠AED = 180° – ∠C – \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\)∠A ……(iii)
∴ ∠DAE = 90° – 180°- ∠C+ \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) ∠A [Substituting (iii) in (ii)]
∴ ∠DAE = ∠C + \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\)∠A – 90° …..(iv)
In ∆ABC,
∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°

Maharashtra Board Class 9 Maths Chapter 3 Triangles Problem Set 3 Intext Questions and Activities

Question 1.
Draw a triangle of any measure on a thick paper. Take a point T on ray QR as shown in the figure given below. Cut two pieces of thick paper which will exactly fit the comers of ∠P and ∠Q. See that the same two jpieces fit exactly at the comer of ∠PRT as shown in the figure. (Textbook pg. no. 24)

Question 2.
Check the congruence of triangles.

Draw ∆ABC of any measure on a card-sheet and cut it out. Place it on a card-sheet. Make a copy of it by drawing its border. Name it as ∆A₁B₁C₁. Now slide the ∆ABC which is the cut out of a triangle to some distance and make one more copy of it. Name it ∆A₂B₂C₂. Then rotate the cut out of triangle ABC a little, as shown in the figure, and make another copy of it. Name the copy as ∆A₃B₃C₃ . Then flip the triangle ABC, place it on another card-sheet and make a new copy of it. Name this copy as ∆A₄B₄C₄ . Have you noticed that each of ∆A₁B₁C₁, ∆A₂B₂C₂, ∆A₃B₃C₃ and ∆A₄B₄C₄ is congruent with ∆ABC ? Because each of them fits exactly with ∆ABC. Let us verify for ∆A₃B₃C₃. If we place ∠A upon ∠A₃, ∠B upon ∠B3 and ∠C upon ∠C3, then only they will fit each other and we can say that ∆ABC = ∆A₃B₃C₃. We also have AB = A₃B₃, BC = B₃C₃, CA = C₃A₃ . Note that, while examining the congruence of two triangles, we have to write their angles and sides in a specific order, that is with a specific one-to-one correspondence. If ∆ABC ≅ ∆PQR, then we get the following six equations:
∠A = ∠P, ∠B = ∠Q, ∠C = ∠R ……..(i)
and AB = PQ, BC = QR, CA = RP …….(ii)
This means, with a one-to-one correspondence between the angles and the sides of two triangles, we get hree pairs of congruent angles and three pairs of congruent sides. (Textbook pg. no. 29)

Question 3.
Every student in the group should draw a right angled triangle, one of the angles measuring 30°. The choice of lengths of sides should be their own. Each one should measure the length of the hypotenuse and the length of the side opposite to 30° angle.
One of the students in the group should fill in the following table.


Did you notice any property of sides of right angled triangle with one of the angles measuring 30°? (Textbook pg. no. 34)
Answer:
We observe that the length of the side opposite to 30° is half the length of the hypotenuse.

Question 4.
The measures of angles of a set square in your compass box are 30°, 60° and 90°. Verify the property of the sides of the set square. (Textbook pg. no. 34)
[Students should attempt the above activity on their own.]

Question 5.
Draw a triangle ABC. Draw medians AD, BE and CF of the triangle. Let their point of concurrence be G, which is called the centroid of the triangle. Compare the lengths of AG and GD with a divider. Verify that the length of AG is twice the length of GD. Similarly, verify that the length of BG is twice the length of GE and the length of CG is twice the length of GF. Name the property of medians of a triangle observed here. (Textbook pg. no. 37)

Answer:
The point of concurrence of medians of the triangle divides each median in the ratio 2 : 1.

Question 6.
Draw a triangle ABC on a cardboard. Draw its medians and denote their point of concurrence as G. Cut out the triangle. Now take a pencil. Try to balance the triangle on the flat tip of the pencil. The triangle is balanced only when the point G is on the flat tip of the pencil. This activity shows an important property of the centroid (point of concurrence of the medians) of the triangle. Point it out. (Textbook pg. no. 37)

Answer:
The centroid of the triangle is the triangle’s centre of gravity. Hence, the triangle in the experiment remains balanced.

Question 7.
Take a photograph on a mobile or a computer. Recall what you do to reduce it or to enlarge it. Also recall what you do to see a part of the photograph in detail. (Textbook pg. no, 45 )

Question 8.
On a card-sheet, draw a triangle of sides 4 cm, 3 cm and 2 cm. Cut it out. Make 13 more copies of the triangle and cut them out from the card sheet. Note that all these triangular pieces are congruent. Arrange them as shown in the following figure and make three triangles out of them.

Number of triangle: 1

Number of triangles: 4

Number of triangles: 9
∆ABC and ∆DEF are similar in the correspondence ABC ↔ DEF.
∠A ≅ ∠D, ∠B ≅ ∠E, ∠C ≅ ∠F
and \(\frac{\mathrm{AB}}{\mathrm{DE}}=\frac{4}{8}=\frac{1}{2} ; \frac{\mathrm{BC}}{\mathrm{EF}}=\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2} ; \frac{\mathrm{AC}}{\mathrm{DF}}=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}\) …the corresponding sides are in proportion.
Similarly, consider ∆DEF and ∆PQR. Are their angles congruent and sides proportional in the correspondence DEF ↔ PQR? (Textbook pg. no. 45)
Answer:
Yes.
∠D ≅ ∠P, ∠E ≅ ∠Q, ∠F ≅ ∠R
\(\frac{\mathrm{DE}}{\mathrm{PQ}}=\frac{8}{12}=\frac{2}{3} ; \frac{\mathrm{EF}}{\mathrm{QR}}=\frac{6}{9}=\frac{2}{3} ; \frac{\mathrm{DF}}{\mathrm{PR}}=\frac{4}{6}=\frac{2}{3}\)

Question 9.
Draw a triangle ∆A₁B₁C₁ on a card-sheet and cut it out. Measure ∠A₁, ∠B₁, ∠C₁ Draw two more triangles AA₂B₂C₂ and AA₃B₃C₃ such that
∠A₁ = ∠A₂ = ∠A₃, ∠B₁ = ∠B₂ = ∠B₃, ∠C₁ = ∠c₂ = ∠c₃
and B₁C₁ > B₂C₂ > B₃C₃. Now cut these two triangles also. Measure the lengths of the three triangles. Arrange the triangles in two ways as shown in the figure.

Check the ratios \(\frac{A_{1} B_{1}}{A_{2} B_{2}}, \frac{B_{1} C_{1}}{B_{2} C_{2}}, \frac{A_{1} C_{1}}{A_{2} C_{2}}\). You will notice that the ratios are equal.
Similarly, see whether the ratios \(\frac{A_{1} C_{1}}{A_{3} C_{3}}, \frac{B_{1} C_{1}}{B_{3} C_{3}}, \frac{A_{1} B_{1}}{A_{3} B_{3}}\) are equal. What do you observe? (Texthook pg. no. 46)
Answer:
From the activity we observe that, when corresponding angles of two triangles are equal, the ratios of their corresponding sides are also equal i.e., their corresponding sides are in the same proportion.

Question 10.
Prepare a map of road surrounding your school or home, upto a distance of about 500 metre. How will you measure the distance between two spots on a road? While walking, count how many steps cover a distance of about two metre. Suppose, your three steps cover a distance of 2 metre. Considering this proportion 90 steps means 60 metre. In this way you can judge the distances between different spots on roads and also the lengths of roads. You have to judge the measures of angles also where two roads meet each other. Choosing a proper scale for lengths of roads, prepare a map. Try to show shops, buildings, bus stops, rickshaw stand etc. in the map. (Textbook pg. no. 48)
