Triangles - 01

Solution

1. (c) 130o
Explanation: Triangle ABC is an iscosceles triangle and hence in the triangle other two angles are 50
and 50
Therefore,
X = 180 - 50 = 130
2. (d) 90o
Explanation: We know that the sum of supplementary angle is 180o

Let the  angle be x the other angle is 180o - x and  the two angles are equal,
⇒ x = 180o - x

⇒ 2x = 180o 

x=

180
⇒
2

⇒ x = 90o

3. (b) 90o

Explanation:

Given in △ABC, AB = AC

⇒ ∠ ABC = ∠ ACB (Since angles opposite to equal sides are equal)

Also given that AD = AB

⇒ ∠ ADC = ∠ ACD (Since angles opposite to equal sides are equal)

∴   ∠ ABC = ∠ ACB = ∠ ADC = ∠ ACD = x(AB = AC = AD)

Also, ∠BCD = A∠CB + ∠C∠D = x + x = 2x

In △BCD, ∠ CBD + BC∠D + ∠BDC = 180o

x + 2x + x = 180o
4x = 180o
x = 45o
∠ BCD =  2x = 90o
4. (d) 4 : 3 : 2
Explanation:
3A = 4B = 6C
3A = 4B ⇒ A/B = 4/3
This means, A:B=4:3

4B = 6C ⇒ B/C = 6/4 = 3/2
⇒ B:C = 3:2
The value of B in 4:3 is equal to the value of B in 3:2
Hence A : B : C = 4 : 3 : 2
5. (a) a right triangle
Explanation: a + b + c = 1800

a + b = c  [Given]
⇒  2c = 1800

⇒  c = 900

So, it is a right triangle.

6.

∠ ABC = 180o - 120o = 60o (linear pair)

∠ ACB = 180o - 110o = 70o (linear pair)

  BAC = x = 180o - ∠ABC - ∠ACB (∵ sum of all angles of a triangle is equal to 180o)

∴ ∠

= 180o - 60o - 70o = 50o

7.

∠ ACF = ∠ABC + ∠BAC [∵  Exterior angle = sum of opposite interior angles]

⇒ ∠   ACF = 60o + 60o = 120o

Similarly, ∠BAD = 120o and ∠CBE = 120o 

8. Yes, the given triangles are congruent as AC = DE, BC = DF and ∠D is equal to ∠C. Hence, By SAS
theorem triangle ABC is congruent to triangle EDF.
9. Let ABC be a triangle right-angled at B
Then, ∠B = 90  and let ∠A = 53

∘ ∘

∴ ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180  [sum of the angles of a triangle]

∘ ∘ ∘
⇒ 53 + 90 + ∠C = 180
∘
⇒ ∠C = 37

Hence, ∠A =  and ∠C
∘ ∘ ∘
53 , ∠B = 90 = 37

10.

In ADC and BEA, we have

AC = BA given
DC = EA [∵

1 1
BC = AC ⇒ BC = AC]
2 2

and ∠ACD = ∠BAE

∴ △ADC ≅ΔBEA

AD = BE 
similarly, BE = CF
Hence, AD = BE = CF

11. Let the required angles be (4x)o, (5x)o and (6x)o.

We know that the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180°.
∴  4x + 5x + 6x = 180 ⇒ 15o - 180

⇒ x = 12.

So the required angles are

(4 × 12)o, (5 × 12)o and (6 × 12)o

i.e., 48o, 60o and 72o

12. The point which is equidistant from all the sides of a triangle is called the in centre of the triangle.
In centre of a triangle is the intersection point of the angle bisectors of the interior angles of that
triangle.
Here,
In △ABC, we can find the in centre of this triangle by drawing the angle bisectors of the interior
angles of this triangle.
I is the point where these angle bisectors are intersecting each other.
Therefore,
I is the point equidistant from all the sides of △ ABC

13. CPA is a straight line 
 In ΔAPD and ΔAPB

DA = AB 
AP = AP
PB = PD
Thus by SSS{side- side- side} criterion of congruence, we have
ΔAPD ≅△APB

Now consider the triangles, △CPD and △CPB

CD = CB
CP = CP
PB = PD
Thus by side side side criterion of congruence, we have
ΔCPD ≅ΔCPB .

∠APD + ∠CPD = ∠APB + ∠CPB

⇒ ∠APB + ∠CPB = 360 − (∠APD + ∠CPD)

⇒  ∠APD + ∠CPD = 360 − (∠APD + ∠CPD)

⇒  2(∠APD + ∠CPD) = 360

360
 

∘
⇒ ∠APD + ∠CPD = = 180
2

This proves that CPA is a straight line.

14. ABC is a right triangle, right-angled at B and D is the mid-point of AC.
We have to prove that BD =

1
AC
2

Now, produce BD to E such that BD = DE. Join EC.

In △ADB  and △CDE  we have

AD = CD  [∵ D is the mid-point of AC]

∠ADB = ∠CDE    [Vertically opposite  ∠s]

BD = DE [By construction]
△ADB ≅△CDE  [By SAS criterion of congruence]

∴ AB = EC [CPCT]

And ∠1 = ∠2  [CPCT]

But, ∠1  and ∠2  are alternate angles.

∴   EC || BA

Now, EC is parallel to BA and BC is the transversal

∴ ∠ABC + ∠BCE = 180

∘ ∘
⇒ 90 + ∠BCE = 180

⇒ ∠BCE = 180
∘
− 90
∘
= 90
∘

In △ABC  and △EBC we have

BC = BC [Common side]
AB = EC [Proved above]
∠CBA = ∠BCE   [∵ Each = 90o]

△ABC ≅△EBC  [By SAS criterion of congruence]

∴  AC = EB [CPCT]

Hence, BD = 2
AC

15.

In △ABC, we have

AB = AC
⇒ ∠B = ∠C  [∵  Angles opposite to equal sides are equal]

⇒
1
∠B =
1
∠C

2 2

∵ OB and OC are bisectors of ∠B and ∠C respectively 

⇒ ∠OBC = ∠OCB [   1 1
] ..... (i)

∴ ∠OBC = ∠B and ∠OCB = ∠C

2 2

⇒  OB = OC [∵  Sides opposite to equal angles are equal] ....... (ii)

Now, in △ABO and △ACO, we have

AB = AC [Given]
∠OBC = ∠OCB  [From (i)]

and, OB = OC [From (ii)]

So, by SAS criterion of congruence, we obtain
△ABO ≅△ACO

⇒ ∠BAO = ∠CAO  [c.p.c.t]

⇒  AO is the bisector of ∠BAC.
