| Exercise 7.1 |
1. In quadrilateral ABCD AC = AD and AB bisects ∠A. Show that ∠ABC ≅ ∆ADB. What can you say about BC and RD?
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)
2. ABCD is a quadrilateral in which AD = BC and ∠DAB = ∠BCA Prove that
(i) ∆AB D ≅ ∆ BAC
(ii) BD = AC
(iii) ∠ABD = ∠BAC
Ans: (i) In ∆ ABD and ∆BAC
(ii) AD = BC (Given)
(iii) ∠DAB = ∠CBA (Given)
and AB = BA (Common)
By SAS Congruence Condition
∆ABD ≅ ∆BAC
(ii) BD = AC( By C.P.C.T)
(iii) ∠ABD = ∠ BAC
(Again by C.P.C.T)
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.
4. I 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 ∆ACDA
(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
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
(ii) BP = BQ or B is equidistant from the arms of ∠A
Ans: (i) 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 (By C.P.C.T.)
6. In AC = AE, AB = AD and ∠BAD = ∠EAC. Show that BC = DE.
Ans: In ∆ BAC and ∆ DAE
AB = AD (Given)
AC = AB (Given)
∠BAD = ∠EAC …(1) (Given)
Adding ∠DAC both side in equation (1)
∠BAD + ∠DAC = ∠EAC + ∠DAC
∠BAC = ∠DAE
Therefore by S-A-S Congruency Condition
∆BAC ≅ ∆DAE
So, BC = DE (By C.P.C.T.)
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: In ∆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.)
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 Congruency 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 = ∠AVB (each 90 proved above)
Therefore, by S-A-S Congruency Condition.
∆ DBC ≅ ∠ ACB
(iv) CM = 1/2 AB
Ans: Since ∆ DBC ≅ ∠ ACB
DC = AB
CM = AM

∠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)
