Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 2 : 9 : 16

Triangles, Congruence and Similarity Question 1 Detailed Solution

Given:

 

The triangle ABC is right-angled at A.

AB = 8 cm, BC = 10 cm,

D is perpendicular to BC.

Calculation:

AC2 = BC2 - AB2

AC = √(100 - 64)

AC = √36 = 6 cm

ΔADB ~ ΔADB

So, Ar ΔADCAr ΔADB=6282

⇒ Ar ΔADCAr ΔADB=3664 

⇒ Ar ΔADCAr ΔADB=916 

∴ The correct answer is option 2.

Triangles, Congruence and Similarity Question 2:

Comprehension:

ABC is a triangle right-angled at A. Further,
AB = 8 cm, BC = 10 cm. D is the point on BC such that AD is perpendicular to BC.

What is AD equal to?

  1. 4·8 cm
  2. 5·0 cm
  3. 5·2 cm
  4. 5·4 cm

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 1 : 4·8 cm

Triangles, Congruence and Similarity Question 2 Detailed Solution

Given:

The triangle ABC is right-angled at A.

AB = 8 cm, BC = 10 cm,

D is perpendicular to BC.

Calculation:

AC2 = BC2 - AB2

AC = √(100 - 64)

AC = √36 = 6 cm  

qImage685ed9d6bf40c16fd70fd5e4

AD = (AB × AC)/(BC)

AD = (6 × 8)/10 = 4.8 cm

∴ The correct answer is option 1.

Triangles, Congruence and Similarity Question 3:

In ΔABC, ∠C = 90° and CD ⊥ AB, also ∠A = 65°, then ∠CBA is equal to

22000

  1. 25°
  2. 35°
  3. 65°
  4. 40°
  5. None of the above

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 1 : 25°

Triangles, Congruence and Similarity Question 3 Detailed Solution

Given:

∠C = 90° 

CD ⊥ AB

∠A = 65°

Concept used:

The sum of the angles of a triangle is 180°.

Calculation:

In ΔABC,

∠BAC + ∠CBA  + ∠ACB  = 180°

⇒ 65° + 90° + ∠CBA  = 180°

⇒ ∠CBA  = 25°

Important Points

We can arrive at the solution based on the perpendicular as well. But it is more time-consuming. Since ∠A and ∠C are given, it is wise to directly apply them in the concept and get the solution.

Triangles, Congruence and Similarity Question 4:

Δ ABC is similar to Δ DEF. The area of Δ  ABC is 100cm2 and the area of Δ  DEF is 49 cm2. If the altitude of Δ ABC = 5 cm, then the corresponding altitude of Δ DEF is:

  1. 7 cm
  2. 4.5 cm
  3. 6 cm
  4. 3.5 cm

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 4 : 3.5 cm

Triangles, Congruence and Similarity Question 4 Detailed Solution

Given:

ΔABC is similar to ΔDEF

Area of ΔABC = 100 cm2

Area of ΔDEF = 49 cm2

Altitude of ΔABC = 5 cm

Formula used:

If two triangles are similar, the ratio of their areas is equal to the square of the ratio of their corresponding sides or altitudes:

Area of ΔABC / Area of ΔDEF = (Altitude of ΔABC / Altitude of ΔDEF)2

Calculation:

Area of ΔABCArea of ΔDEF=(Altitude of ΔABCAltitude of ΔDEF)2

10049=(5Altitude of ΔDEF)2

10049=5Altitude of ΔDEF

107=5Altitude of ΔDEF

Altitude of ΔDEF=5×710

Altitude of ΔDEF=3.5cm

∴ The correct answer is option (4).

Triangles, Congruence and Similarity Question 5:

In a triangle ABC, ∠A = 60°, AB = 6 cm, and AC = 4 cm. Find BC.

  1. 27 cm
  2. 35 cm
  3. 77 cm
  4. 55 cm

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 1 : 27 cm

Triangles, Congruence and Similarity Question 5 Detailed Solution

Given:

In triangle ABC,

∠A = 60º

AB = 6 cm

AC = 4 cm

Formula Used:

Using the Cosine Rule:

BC2 = AB2 + AC2 - 2 × AB × AC × cos(∠A)

Calculation:

Substitute the values:

AB = 6, AC = 4, cos(60º) = 1/2

⇒ BC2 = 62 + 42 - 2 × 6 × 4 × (1/2)

⇒ BC2 = 36 + 16 - 24

⇒ BC2 = 28

⇒ BC = √28

⇒ BC = √(4 × 7)

⇒ BC = 2√7

⇒ BC = (2/√7) cm

The correct length of BC is (2/√7) cm.

Given:

ABC is a right-angled triangle. A circle is inscribed in it.

The length of the two sides containing the right angle are 10 cm and 24 cm

Calculations:

Hypotenuse² = 10² + 24²    (Pythagoras theorem)

Hypotenuse = √676 = 26

Radius of the circle (incircle) inside a triangle = ( Sum of sides containing right angle – Hypotenuse)/2

⇒ (10 + 24 - 26)/2

⇒ 8/2

⇒ 4

∴ The correct choice is option 4.

Given:

ΔABC ~ ΔPQR

Area of ΔABC = 64 cm2

Area of ΔPQR = 81 cm2

PT = 10.8 cm 

AD is the median of ΔABC.

PT is the median of ΔPQR

Concept: 

F1 Ashish Madhu 19.10.21 D2

The ratio of the areas of two similar triangles is equal to the ratio of the squares of the corresponding sides & medians. 

Area of (ΔABC)Area of (ΔPQR) = (ADPT)2

Calculation:

Area of (ΔABC)Area of (ΔPQR) = (ADPT)2

⇒ 6481 = (ADPT)2 

​ ADPT = 6481 = 89

​ AD10.8 = 89

​ AD = 8×10.89 = 9.6 cm

∴ AD = 9.6 cm 

The sides of similar triangles ΔPQR and ΔDEF are in the ratio 5 ∶ 6. If area of ΔPQR is equal to 75 cm2, what is the area of ΔDEF?

  1. 150 cm2
  2. 90 cm2
  3. 108 cm2
  4. 120 cm2

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 3 : 108 cm2

Given:

ΔPQR ∼ ΔDEF

The sides of ΔPQR and ΔDEF are in the ratio 5 ∶ 6.

ar(PQR) = 75 cm2

Concepts used:

The ratio of area of similar triangles is equal to the square of the ratio of sides of corresponding triangles.

Calculation:

ΔPQR ∼ ΔDEF

ar(PQR)/ar(DEF) = (Side of ΔPQR/Side of ΔDEF)2

⇒ 75/ar(DEF) = (5/6)2

⇒ ar(DEF) = 108 cm2

∴ Area of ΔDEF is equal to 108 cm2.

  2. 6.5
  3. 6
  4. 5

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 2 : 6.5

Triangles, Congruence and Similarity Question 9 Detailed Solution

Given:

AB (c)  = 7 cm, CA (b) = 5√2 cm, BC = a 

E and F are the mid-points of AC & AB.

∠A = 135°

Concept:

By cosine rule

Cos A = (b2 + c2 - a2)/ 2bc

Mid-point theorem

EF = BC/2

Calculation:

F1 Harshit 15-09-21 Savita D2

According to the cosine rule

cos1350=(52)2+(7)2(a)22×7×52

⇒ 12=(52)2+(7)2(a)22×7×52

⇒ 70=50+49a2

⇒ a2 = 169

⇒ a = 13, a ≠ - 13

⇒ BC = 13

From formula used

EF = BC/2 = 13/2 cm 

∴ EF = 6.5 cm

Given:

In ΔABC, O is the orthocenter and I is the incenter for the given triangle,  

If ∠BIC - ∠BOC = 90.

Formula used:

(1) In ΔABC, I is the incenter for the given triangle,

F1 Madhuri Railways 22.06.2022 D12 

(1.1) ∠BIC = 90 + 12∠A

(1.2) ∠AIC = 90 + 12∠B

(1.3) ∠AIB = 90 + 12∠C

(2) In ΔABC, O is the orthocenter for the given triangle,

F1 Madhuri Railways 22.06.2022 D13

(2.1) ∠BOC = 180∘ - ∠A

(2.2) ∠AOB = 180∘ - ∠C

(3.3) ∠AOC = 180∘ - ∠B

Calculation:

According to the question, the required image is:

F1 Madhuri Railways 22.06.2022 D14

As we know,

∠BOC = 180∘ - ∠A     ----(1)

∠BIC = 90 + 12∠A    ----(2)

Now, subtract equation (1) from (2).

⇒ ∠BIC - ∠BOC = 90 + 12∠A  - (180∘ - ∠A )

⇒ 90 = 90 + 12∠A  - 180 + ∠A

⇒ 90 = 32∠A  - 90

⇒ 180 = 32∠A

⇒ ∠A = 120

∴ The required answer is 120.

Additional Information

(1) Incenter - It is the intersection point of all three angle bisectors of a triangle.

(1.1) Angle bisector cuts the angle into two equal half.

(2) Orthocenter - It is the intersection point of all three altitudes drawn from the vertex to the opposite side of the triangle.

(2.1) The altitude of a triangle is perpendicular to the opposite side.

Given:

In ΔABC, AB = 8cm

∠A bisected internally to intersect BC at D.

AB = 8 cm, BD = 6 cm and DC = 7.5 cm

Concept used:

F1 SSC Priya 14-3-24 D22

In a triangle, the angle bisector of an angle is divides the opposite side to the angle in the ratio of the remaining two sides.

ABAC=BDDC

Calculation:

AB = 8 cm, ∠A is bisected internally to intersect BC at D,

⇒ AB/AC = BD/CD

⇒ 8/AC = 6/7.5

∴ AC = 10 cm

ΔPQR inscribes in a circle with centre O. If PQ = 12 cm, QR = 16 cm and PR = 20 cm, find the circumradius of a triangle.

  1. 10 cm
  2. 8 cm
  3. 6 cm
  4. 20 cm

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 1 : 10 cm

Triangles, Congruence and Similarity Question 13 Detailed Solution

Given:

In ΔPQR,

PQ = 12 cm, QR = 16 cm and PR = 20 cm

Concept used:

a, b and c denote the sides of the triangle and A denotes the area of the triangle,

Then the measure of the circumradius(r) is.

r = [abc/4A]

If the square of one side is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides, then the angle opposite the biggest side is a right angle.

Hypotenuse2 = Perpendicular2 + Base2 

Calculation:

F6 Amar TTP 3.0 18-5-2021 Swati D2

Here, we can see that 

(20)2 = (16)2 + (12)2  = 400 

⇒ PR2 = QR2 + PQ2

So, ΔPQR is a right angle triangle.

Area of ΔPQR = (½ ) × base × Perpendicular

⇒ Area of ΔPQR = (½ ) × 16 × 12

⇒ Area of ΔPQR = 96 cm2

Circumradius (r) = [abc/4 × Area] 

Circumradius (r) = [(12 × 16 × 20)/4 × 96] = 10 cm

∴ The circumradius of a triangle is 10 cm.

 

For a right-angled triangle, the circumcenter lies at the midpoint of the hypotenuse. All the vertices of a triangle are at an equal distance from the circumcenter.

PO = QO = OR = r

⇒ PO = PR/2

⇒ PO = 20/2 = 10 cm

 The circumradius of a triangle is 10 cm.

In the given triangle, O is the incentre, AE = 4 cm, AC = 9 cm and BC = 10 cm. What is the length of side AB?

F1 A.K 13.5.20 Pallavi D1

Given,

the area of quadrilateral MBCN = 130 cm2.

AN : NC = 4 : 5

Hence, AC = 4 + 5 = 9

In ΔABC, If MN∥BC, then

Area of ΔAMN/area of ΔABC = (AN/AC)2

Area of ΔAMN/area of ΔABC = (4/9)2 = 16/81

Area of ΔAMN = 16 unit and area of ΔABC = 81 unit

Now, Area of quadrilateral MBCN = area of ΔABC - area of ΔAMN

⇒ 81 - 16 unit = 130 cm2

⇒ 65 unit = 130 cm2

⇒ 1 unit = 130/65 = 2 cm2

∴ Area of ΔAMN = 16 × 2 = 32 cm2
