Q) If Δ ABC ~ Δ DEF and AB = 4 cm, DE = 6 cm, EF = 9 cm and FD = 12 cm, find the perimeter of Δ ABC. Ans: Let’s start with the diagram for he given question: Step 1: Since we are given that Δ ABC ~ Δ DEF, ∴ Step 2:
Q) In a Δ ABC, D and E are points on the sides AB and AC respectively such that BD = CE. If ∠B = ∠C, then show that DE ǁ BC Ans: Let’s start with the diagram for he given question: Step 1: We are given ∠ B = ∠ C, ∴ AB = AC
Q) ABCD is a trapezium with AB ǁ DC. AC and BD intersect at E. If Δ AED ~ Δ BEC, then prove that AD = BC. Ans: Let’s start with the diagram for he given question: Step 1: We are given AB ǁ DC, hence let’s look at △AEB and △CED: Here we
Q) In the given figure PA, QB and RC are each perpendicular to AC. If AP = x, BQ = y and CR = z, then prove that 1/x + 1/z = 1/y Ans: Step 1: In Δ APC and Δ BQC, ∠ PCA = ∠ QCB (common angle) ∠ PAC = ∠ QBC (900)
In the given figure PA, QB and RC are each perpendicular to AC. If AP = x, BQ = y Read More »
