| Exercise 7.1 |
Q.1. In quadrilateral ABCD AC = AD and AB bisects ∠ A.Show that ∠ ABC≅∆ADB. What can you say about BC and BD?
Ans: In ∆ABC and ∆ABD
AC = AD (Given)
∠ CAB = ∠ DAB (Given)
AB = AB (Given)
Therefore,
By SAS congruence condition
∆ABC ≅∆ABD
So, BC = BD (By C.P.C.T)
Q.2. ABCD is a quadrilateral in which AD = BC and ∠ DAB = ∠ BCA
Prove that
(i) ∆ABD ≅ ∆ BAC
Ans: In ∆ ABD and △BAC
(ii) BD = AC
Ans: AD = BC (Given)
(iii) ∠ ABD =∠BAC
Ans: ∠ DAB = ∠CBA
(Given)
(Common)
and AB = BA
By SAS Congruence Condition
∆ABD ≅ ∆BAC
(ii) BD=AC( By C.P.C.T)
(iii) ∠ABD = ∠ BAC
(Again by C.P.C.T)
Q.3. AD and BC are equal perpendiculars to a line segment AB. Show that CD bisects AB.
Ans: In ∆ AOD and ∆ BOC
AD=BC (Given)
∠ OAD = ∠ OBC (each 90⁰)
∠ AOD = ∠ BOC
(Vertically opposite angles)
Therefore, by ASA congruence condition.
So, OA = OB
(By C.P. С.Т.)
Hence, CD bisects line segment AB.
Q.4. L and m are two parallel lines intersected by another pair of parallel lines p and q.
Show that ∆ ABC = ∆ CDA
Ans: We have given that l ||m and p || q
Therefore, In ∆ ABC and ∆CDA
(Alternate interior angles as AB || CD)
∠ACB = ∠CAD
(Alternate interior angles as BC II DA)
AC = CA
So, By A-S-A congruence condition.
∆ ABC ≅ ∆CDA
Q.5. Line 1 is the bisector of an angle ∠A and ∠B is any point on 1. BP and BQ are perpendiculars from B to the arms of ∠A show that:
(i) ∆APB = ∆AQB
Ans:
In ∆ABP and ∆ABQ
∠BAP =∠BAQ (Given)
∠APB = ∠AQB (Each 90⁰)
AB = AB (Common)
By A – A – S congruence condition.
So, ∆ABP = ∆ABQ
(ii) BP = BQ or B is equidistant from the arms of ∠ A
Ans: BP = BQ (By C.P.C.T.)
Q.6. In AC = AE,AB = AD and ∠ BAD = ∠ EAC. Show that BC = DE
Ans: In ∆ BAC and ∆ DAE
AB = AD (Given)
AC = AE (Given)
∠ BAD = ∠ EAC …(1) (Given)
Adding ∠ DAC both side in equation (1)
∠BAD +∠DAC= ∠ EAC+∠DAC
∠ BAC = ∠ DAE
Therefore by S-A-S Congruence Condition
∆ BAC ≅ ∆ DAE
So, BC = DE (By C.P.C.T.)
Q.7. AB is a line segment and P is its mid point. D and E are points on the same side of AB such that ∠ BAD = ∠ ABE and ∠ EPA = ∠ DPB show that
(i) ∆ DA P ≅ EBP
Ans: ∆DAP and ∆EBP
∠ DAP =∠EBP (Given)
∠ APE = ∠ DPB (Given)
∴ ∠APE + ∠ EPD=∠DPB+ ∠ EPD
(Add ∠ EPD both side)
∠APD =∠BPE
AP = BP
(Given P is the midpoint of AB)
By A-S-A Congruence Condition.
∆DAP = ∆EBP
(ii) AD = BE
Ans: AD = BE
(By C.P.C.T.)
Q.8. In the right triangle ABC, right angled at C, M is the midpoint of hypotenuse AB, C is joined to M and produces a point D such that DM = CM. Point D is joined to point B. Show that
(i) ∆ AMC ≅ ∆BMD
Ans: In ∆AMC and ∆BMD
AM = BM (Given)
CM = DM (Given)
∠ AMC = ∠ BMD
(Vertically opp. angles)
∴ By S-A-S Congruence Condition.
∆AMC ≅ ∆BMD
(ii) ∠DBC is right angle.
Ans: ∠CAM = ∠ DBM (by C.P.C.T)
Also,∠CAM+∠MBC = 90⁰ (Since ∠ C 90⁰ )
∴ ∠DBM + ∠MBC = 90⁰ (∠CAM=∠DBM)
or, ∠ DBC = 90⁰
(iii) ∆ DBC ≅∆ ACB
Ans: In ∆ DBC and ∆ ACB
BC = BC (Common)
DB = AC
( ∴ ∆BMD = ∆AMC, by C.P.M.T)
and ∠ DBC = ∠ ACB (each 90 proved above)
Therefore, by S-A-S Congruence Condition.
∆ DBC ≅ ∠ ACB
(iv) CM = 1/2 AB
Ans: Since ∆ DBC ≅ ∠ ACB
DC = AB
CM = AM

∵ AB = AC and AD = AB
∴ AC = AD
∴ In ∆ACD
∠ CDA =∠ACD Angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle are equal

Adding the corresponding sides of (1) and (2), we get
∠ ABC + ∠CDB =∠ACB +∠ACD
⇒ ∠ABC + ∠ CDB= ∠ BCD …(3)
In ∆BCD,
∠BCD +∠DBC +∠CDB = 180⁰
| ∵ Sum of all the angles of a triangle is 180⁰
⇒ ∠ BCD+∠ ABC+ ∠ CDB = 180⁰
⇒ ∠ BCD + ∠ BCD = 180⁰ | Using (3)
⇒ 2 ∠BCD = 180⁰
⇒ ∠ BCD = 90⁰
