NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 13 Surface Areas and Volumes 

Exercise 13.1

1. A plastic box 1.5 m long, 1.25 m wide and 65 cm deep is to be made. It is opened at the top. Ignoring the thickness of the plastic sheet, determine:
(i) The area of the sheet required for making the box.
(ii) The cost of sheet for it, if a sheet measuring 1m2 costs Rs 20.

Answer

Length of plastic box (l) = 1.5 m
Width of plastic box (b) = 1.25 m
Depth of plastic box (h) = 0.65 m
(i) The area of sheet required to make the box is equal to the surface area of the box excluding the top.
Surface area of the box = Lateral surface area + Area of the base
= 2(l+b)×h + (l×b)
= 2[(1.5 + 1.25)×0.65] + (1.5 × 1.25) m
= (3.575 + 1.875) m
= 5.45 m
The sheet required required to make the box is 5.45 m

(ii) Cost of 1 mof sheet = Rs 20
∴ Cost of 5.45 mof sheet = Rs (20 × 5.45) = Rs 109

2. The length, breadth and height of a room are 5m, 4m and 3m respectively. Find the cost of white washing the walls of the room and the ceiling at the rate of ₹7.50 per m2.

Answer


length of the room = 5m
breadth of the room = 4m
height of the room = 3m
Area of four walls including the ceiling = 2(l+b)×h + (l×b)
 = 2(5+4)×3 + (5×4) m
= (54 + 20) m
= 74 mCost of white washing = ₹7.50 per m2
Total cost = ₹ (74×7.50) = ₹ 555

3. The floor of a rectangular hall has a perimeter 250 m. If the cost of painting the four walls at the rate of ₹10 per m2 is ₹15000, find the height of the hall.
[Hint : Area of the four walls = Lateral surface area.]


Answer

Perimeter of rectangular hall = 2(l + b) = 250 m
Total cost of painting = ₹15000
Rate per m= ₹10
Area of four walls = 2(l + b) h m= (250×h) m2
A/q,
(250×h)×10 = ₹15000
⇒ 2500×h = ₹15000 
⇒ h = 15000/2500 m
⇒ h = 6 m 
Thus the height of the hall is 6 m.

4. The paint in a certain container is sufficient to paint an area equal to 9.375 m2. How many bricks of dimensions 22.5 cm×10 cm×7.5 cm can be painted out of this container?

Answer

Volume of paint = 9.375 m= 93750 cm2
Dimension of brick = 22.5 cm×10 cm×7.5 cm
Total surface area of a brick = 2(lb + bh + lh) cm2 
= 2(22.5×10 + 10×7.5 + 22.5×7.5) cm2
= 2(225 + 75 + 168.75) cm2
= 2×468.75 cm2 = 937.5 cm2
Number of bricks can be painted = 93750/937.5 = 100

5. A cubical box has each edge 10 cm and another cuboidal box is 12.5 cm long, 10 cm wide and 8 cm high.
(i) Which box has the greater lateral surface area and by how much?
(ii) Which box has the smaller total surface area and by how much?

Answer

(i) Lateral surface area of cubical box of edge 10cm = 4×102 cm2 = 400 cm2
Lateral surface area of cuboid box = 2(l+b)×h
= 2×(12.5+10)×8 cm2
= 2×22.5×8 cm2 = 360 cm2
Thus, lateral surface area of the cubical box is greater by (400 – 360) cm2 = 40 cm2

(ii) Total surface area of cubical box of edge 10 cm =6×102cm2=600cm2
Total surface area of cuboidal box = 2(lb + bh + lh)
= 2(12.5×10 + 10×8 + 8×12.5) cm2
= 2(125+80+100) cm2
= (2×305) cm= 610 cm2
Thus, total surface area of cubical box is smaller by 10 cm2



6. A small indoor greenhouse (herbarium) is made entirely of glass panes (including base) held together with tape. It is 30 cm long, 25 cm wide and 25 cm high.
(i) What is the area of the glass?
(ii) How much of tape is needed for all the 12 edges?

Answer

(i) Dimensions of greenhouse:
l = 30 cm, b = 25 cm, h = 25 cm
Total surface area of green house = 2(lb + bh + lh)
= 2(30×25 + 25×25 + 25×30) cm2
= 2(750 + 625 + 750) cm2
= 4250 cm2

(ii) Length of the tape needed = 4(l + b + h)
= 4(30 + 25 + 25) cm
= 4×80 cm = 320 cm

7. Shanti Sweets Stall was placing an order for making cardboard boxes for packing their sweets. Two sizes of boxes were required. The bigger of dimensions 25 cm × 20 cm × 5 cm and the smaller of dimensions 15 cm × 12 cm × 5 cm. For all the overlaps, 5% of the total surface area is required extra. If the cost of the cardboard is 4 for 1000 cm2 , find the cost of cardboard required for supplying 250 boxes of each kind.

Answer

Dimension of bigger box = 25 cm × 20 cm × 5 cm
Total surface area of bigger box = 2(lb + bh + lh)
= 2(25×20 + 20×5 + 25×5) cm2
= 2(500 + 100 + 125) cm2
= 1450 cm2

Dimension of smaller box = 15 cm × 12 cm × 5 cm
Total surface area of smaller box = 2(lb + bh + lh)
= 2(15×12 + 12×5 + 15×5) cm2
= 2(180 + 60 + 75) cm2
= 630 cm2

Total surface area of 250 boxes of each type = 250(1450 + 630) cm2
= 250×2080 cm= 520000 cm2
Extra area required = 5/100(1450 + 630) × 250 cm= 26000 cm2

Total Cardboard required = 520000 + 26000 cm2 = 546000 cm2
Total cost of cardboard sheet = ₹ (546000 × 4)/1000 = ₹ 2184

8. Parveen wanted to make a temporary shelter for her car, by making a box-like structure with tarpaulin that covers all the four sides and the top of the car (with the front face as a flap which can be rolled up). Assuming that the stitching margins are very small, and therefore negligible, how much tarpaulin would be required to make the shelter of height 2.5 m, with base dimensions 4m × 3m?

Answer

Dimensions of the box- like structure = 4m × 3m × 2.5
Tarpaulin only required for all the four sides and top.
Thus, Tarpaulin required = 2(l+b)×h + lb = [2(4+3)×2.5 + 4×3] m2
= (35+12) m2
= 47 m2

Exercise 13.2

1. The curved surface area of a right circular cylinder of height 14 cm is 88 cm2. Find the diameter of the base of the cylinder.

Answer

Let r be the radius of the base and h = 14 cm be the height of the cylinder.
Curved surface area of cylinder = 2πrh = 88 cm2
⇒ 2 × 22/7 × r × 14 = 88
⇒ r = 88/ (2 × 22/7 × 14)
⇒ r = 1 cm
Thus, the diameter of the base = 2r = 2×1 = 2cm

2. It is required to make a closed cylindrical tank of height 1 m and base diameter 140 cm from a metal sheet. How many square metres of the sheet are required for the same?

Answer

Let r be the radius of the base and h be the height of the cylinder.
Base diameter = 140 cm and Height (h) = 1m
Radius of base (r) = 140/2 = 70 cm = 0.7 m
Metal sheet required to make a closed cylindrical tank = 2πr(h + r)
= (2 × 22/7 × 0.7) (1 + 0.7) m2
= (2 × 22 × 0.1 × 1.7) m2
=7.48 m2

3. A metal pipe is 77 cm long. The inner diameter of a cross section is 4 cm, the outer diameter being 4.4 cm (see Fig. 13.11). Find its
(i) inner curved surface area,
(ii) outer curved surface area,
(iii) total surface area.

 
Answer
 
Let R be external radius and r be the internal radius h be the length of the pipe.
R  = 4.4/2 cm = 2.2 cm

r = 4/2 cm = 2 cm
h = 77 cm
(i) Inner curved surface = 2πrh cm2
= 2 × 22/7 × 2 × 77cm2
= 968 cm2

 

(ii) Outer curved surface = 2πRh cm2
 = 2 × 22/7 × 2.2 × 77 cm2
= 1064.8 cm2

 

(iii) Total surface area of a pipe = Inner curved surface area + outer curved surface area + areas of two bases
= 2πrh + 2πRh + 2π(R2 – r2)
= [968 + 1064.8 + (2 × 22/7) (4.84 – 4)] cm2
= (2032.8 + 44/7 × 0.84) cm2
= (2032.8 + 5.28) cm= 2038.08 cm2

4. The diameter of a roller is 84 cm and its length is 120 cm. It takes 500 complete revolutions to move once over to level a playground. Find the area of the playground in m2.

Answer

Length of the roller (h) = 120 cm = 1.2 m
Radius of the cylinder = 84/2 cm = 42 cm = 0.42 m
Total no. of revolutions = 500
Distance covered by roller in one revolution = Curved surface area = 2πrh
= (2 × 22/7 × 0.42 × 1.2) m2 = 3.168 m2
Area of the playground = (500 × 3.168) m= 1584 m2

5. A cylindrical pillar is 50 cm in diameter and 3.5 m in height. Find the cost of painting the curved surface of the pillar at the rate of 12.50 per m2.

Answer

Radius of the pillar (r) = 50/2 cm = 25 cm = 0.25 m
Height of the pillar (h) = 3.5 m.
Rate of painting = 12.50 per m2
Curved surface = 2πrh
= (2 × 22/7 × 0.25 × 3.5) m2
=5.5 m2
Total cost of painting = (5.5 × 12.5) = 68.75

6. Curved surface area of a right circular cylinder is 4.4 m2. If the radius of the base of the cylinder is 0.7 m, find its height.

Answer

Let r be the radius of the base and h be the height of the cylinder.
Curved surface area = 2πrh = 4.4 m2
⇒ 2 × 22/7 × 0.7 × h = 4.4
⇒ h = 4.4/(2 × 22/7 × 0.7) = 1m
⇒ h = 1m

7. The inner diameter of a circular well is 3.5 m. It is 10 m deep. Find
(i) its inner curved surface area,

8. In a hot water heating system, there is a cylindrical pipe of length 28 m and diameter 5 cm. Find the total radiating surface in the system.

Answer

Radius of the pipe (r) = 5/2 cm = 2.5 cm = 0.025 m
Length of the pipe (h) = 28/2 m = 14 m
Total radiating surface = Curved surface area of the pipe = 2πrh
= (2 × 22/7 × 0.025 × 28) m2 = 4.4 m2

9. Find
(i) the lateral or curved surface area of a closed cylindrical petrol storage tank that is 4.2 m in diameter and 4.5 m high.
(ii) how much steel was actually used, if 1/12 of the steel actually used was wasted in making the tank.

Answer

(i) Radius of the tank (r) = 4.2/2 m = 2.1 m
Height of the tank (h) = 4.5 m
Curved surface area = 2πrh m2
= (2 × 22/7 × 2.1 × 4.5) m2
= 59.4 m2

(ii) Total surface area of the tank = 2πr(r + h) m2
= [2 × 22/7 × 2.1 (2.1 + 4.5)] m2
= 87.12 m2

Let x be the actual steel used in making tank.
∴ (1 – 1/12) × x = 87.12
⇒ x = 87.12 × 12/11
⇒ x = 95.04 m2

Each penholder was to be of radius 3 cm and height 10.5 cm. The Vidyalaya was to supply the competitors with cardboard. If there were 35 competitors, how much cardboard was required to be bought for the competition?

Answer

Radius of the penholder (r) = 3cm
Height of the penholder (h) = 10.5cm
Cardboard required by 1 competitor = CSA of one penholder + area of the base
= 2πrh + πr2
= [(2 × 22/7 × 3 × 10.5) + 22/7 × 32] cm2
= (198 + 198/7) cm2
= 1584/7 cm2
Cardboard required for 35 competitors = (35 × 1584/7) cm2
= 7920 cm2

Exercise 13.3

1. Diameter of the base of a cone is 10.5 cm and its slant height is 10 cm. Find its curved surface area.

Answer

Radius (r) = 10.5/2 cm = 5.25 cm
Slant height (l) = 10 cm
Curved surface area of the cone = (πrl) cm2
= (22/7 × 5.25 × 10) cm2
=165 cm2

2. Find the total surface area of a cone, if its slant height is 21 m and diameter of its base is 24 m.

Answer

Radius (r) = 24/2 m = 12 m
Slant height (l) = 21 m
Total surface area of the cone = πr (l + r) m2
= 22/7 × 12 × (21 + 12) m2
= (22/7 × 12 × 33) m2
= 1244.57 m2

3. Curved surface area of a cone is 308 cm2 and its slant height is 14 cm. Find
(i) radius of the base and (ii) total surface area of the cone.

Answer

(i) Curved surface of a cone = 308 cm2
Slant height (l) = 14cm
Let r be the radius of the base
∴ πrℓ = 308
⇒ 22/7 × r × 14 = 308
⇒ r =308/(22/7 × 14) = 7 cm

(ii) TSA of the cone = πr(l + r) cm2
= 22/7 × 7 ×(14 + 7) cm2
= (22 × 21) cm2
= 462 cm2

4. A conical tent is 10 m high and the radius of its base is 24 m. Find
(i) slant height of the tent.
(ii) cost of the canvas required to make the tent, if the cost of 1 m2 canvas is 70.

Answer

Radius of the base (r) = 24 m
Height of the conical tent (h) = 10 m
Let l be the slant height of the cone.
∴ l= h+ r2
⇒ l = √h+ r2 
⇒ l = √10+ 242 
⇒ l = √100 + 576 
⇒ l = 26 m
(ii) Canvas required to make the conical tent = Curved surface of the cone
Cost of 1 m2 canvas = 70
∴ πrl = (22/7 × 24 × 26) m2 = 13728/7 m2
∴ Cost of canvas = ₹ 13728/7 × 70 = 137280

5. What length of tarpaulin 3m wide will be required to make conical tent of height 8m and base radius 6m? Assume that the extra length of material that will be required for stitching margins and wastage in cutting is approximately 20cm (Use π = 3.14).

Answer

Radius of the base (r) = 6 m
Height of the conical tent (h) = 8 m
Let l be the slant height of the cone.
∴ l = √h+ r2 
⇒ l = √8+ 62 
⇒ l = √100 
⇒ l = 10 m
CSA of conical tent = πrl
                                = (3.14 × 6 × 10) m2 = 188.4 m2
Breadth of tarpaulin = 3 m
Let length of tarpaulin sheet required be x.
20 cm will be wasted in cutting.
So, the length will be (x – 0.2 m)
Breadth of tarpaulin = 3 m
Area of sheet = CSA of tent
[(x – 0.2 m) × 3] m = 188.4 m2
⇒ x – 0.2 m = 62.8 m
⇒ x = 63 m

Rate of white- washing = 210 per 100 m2
Total cost of white-washing the tomb = (550 × 210/100) = 1155

7. A joker’s cap is in the form of a right circular cone of base radius 7 cm and height 24 cm. Find the area of the sheet required to make 10 such caps.

Answer

Radius of the cone (r) = 7 cm
Height of the cone (h) = 24 cm
Let l be the slant height
∴ l = √h+ r2 
⇒ l = √24+ 72 
⇒ l = √625 
⇒ l = 25 m
Sheet required for one cap = Curved surface of the cone
= πrl cm2
= (22/7 × 7 × 25) cm2
= 550 cm2
Sheet required for 10 caps = 550 × 10 cm= 5500 cm2

8. A bus stop is barricaded from the remaining part of the road, by using 50 hollow cones made of recycled cardboard. Each cone has a base diameter of 40 cm and height 1 m. If the outer side of each of the cones is to be painted and the cost of painting is 12 per m2 , what will be the cost of painting all these cones? (Use π = 3.14 and take √1.04 = 1.02)

Answer

Radius of the cone (r) = 40/2 cm = 20 cm = 0.2 m
Height of the cone (h) = 1 m
Let l  be the slant height of a cone.
∴ l = √h+ r2 
⇒ l = √1+ 0.22 
⇒ l = √1.04 
⇒ l = 1.02 m
Rate of painting = 12 per m2 

Curved surface of 1 cone = πrl m2
= (3.14 × 0.2 × 1.02) m2
= 0.64056 m2
Curved surface of such 50 cones = (50 × 0.64056) m2 = 32.028 m2
Cost of painting all these cones = (32.028 × 12) = 384.34

7. The diameter of the moon is approximately one fourth of the diameter of the earth. Find the ratio of their surface areas. 

Answer

Let the diameter of earth be r and that of the moon will be r/4
Radius of the earth = r/2
Radius of the moon = r/8
Ratio of their surface area = 4π(r/8)2/4π(r/2)2
= (1/64)/(1/4)
= 4/64 = 1/16
Thus, the ratio of their surface areas is 1:16

Exercise 13.5

1. A matchbox measures 4cm × 2.5cm × 1.5cm. What will be the volume of a packet containing 12 such boxes?

Answer

Dimension of matchbox = 4cm × 2.5cm × 1.5cm
l = 4 cm, b = 2.5 cm and h = 1.5 cm
Volume of one matchbox = (l × b × h)
= (4 × 2.5 × 1.5)  cm= 15 cm3
Volume of a packet containing 12 such boxes = (12 × 15)  cm= 180 cm3

2. A cuboidal water tank is 6 m long, 5 m wide and 4.5 m deep. How many litres of water can it hold? (1m3 = 1000 l)

Answer

Dimensions of water tank = 6m × 5m × 4.5m
l = 6m , b = 5m and h = 4.5m
Therefore Volume of the tank =ℓbh m3
=(6×5×4.5)m3=135 m3
Therefore , the tank can hold = 135 × 1000 litres  [Since 1m3=1000litres]
= 135000 litres of water.

3. A cuboidal vessel is 10 m long and 8 m wide. How high must it be made to hold 380 cubic metres of a liquid?

Answer

Length = 10 m , Breadth = 8 m and Volume = 380 m3
Volume of cuboid = Length × Breadth × Height
⇒ Height = Volume of cuboid/(Length × Breadth) 
= 380/(10×8) m
= 4.75m

4. Find the cost of digging a cuboidal pit 8 m long, 6 m broad and 3 m deep at the rate of ₹30 per m3.

Answer

l = 8 m, b = 6 m and h = 3 m
Volume of the pit = lbh m3
= (8×6×3) m3
= 144 m3
Rate of digging = ₹30 per m3
Total cost of digging the pit = ₹(144 × 30) = ₹4320

5. The capacity of a cuboidal tank is 50000 litres of water. Find the breadth of the tank, if its length and depth are respectively 2.5 m and 10 m.

Answer

length = 2.5 m, depth = 10 m and volume = 50000 litres
1m3 = 1000 litres

∴ 50000 litres = 50000/1000 m3 = 50 m3
Breadth = Volume of cuboid/(Length×Depth)
= 50/(2.5×10) m
= 2 m

6. A village, having a population of 4000, requires 150 litres of water per head per day. It has a tank measuring 20m × 15m × 6m. For how many days will the water of this tank last?

l = 20 m , b = 15 m and h = 6 m
Capacity of the tank = lbh m3
= (20×15×6) m3
= 1800 m3
Water requirement per person per day =150 litres
Water required for 4000 person per day = (4000×150) l
= (4000×150)/1000
= 600 m3
Number of days the water will last = Capacity of tank Total water required per day
=(1800/600) = 3
The water will last for 3 days.

Answer

Edge of the cube = 12 cm. 
Volume of the cube = (edge)3 cm3
= (12 × 12 × 12) cm3
= 1728 cm3 
Number of smaller cube = 8
Volume of the 1 smaller cube =1728/8 cm3 = 216 cm3
Side of the smaller cube = a
a= 216
⇒ a = 6 cm
Surface area of the cube = 6 (side)2
Ratio of their surface area = (6 × 12 × 12)/(6 × 6 × 6)
= 4/1 = 4:1

Volume of water flowing into the sea in a minute = lbh m3
= (100/3 × 40 × 3) m3
= 4000 m3

Exercise 13.6

1. The circumference of the base of a cylindrical vessel is 132 cm and its height is 25 cm. How many litres of water can it hold? (1000 cm 3 = 1l)

Answer

Let the base radius of the cylindrical vessel be ‘r’ cm.
∴ Circumference = 2πr
⇒ 2πr = 132     [ Circumference = 132 cm]
⇒ 2× 22/7 × r = 132 cm
R=(132×7)/(2×22) cm = 21 cm
∵ Height of the vessel = 25 cm
∴ Volume = πr2 x h    [ Volume of a cylinder = πr2h]
= (22/7) (21)2 × 25 cm3
= (22/7) × 21 × 21 × 25 cm3
= 22 × 3 × 21 × 25 cm3
= 34650 cm
∵ Capacity of the vessel = Volume of the vessel
∴ Capacity of cylindrical vessel = 34650 cm
Since 1000 cm= 1 litre
⇒ 34650 cm3 = (34650/1000) litres = 34.65 l

 

2. The inner diameter of a cylindrical wooden pipe is 24 cm and its outer diameter is 28 cm. The length of the pipe is 35 cm. Find the mass of the pipe, if 1 cm3 of wood has a mass of 0.6 g.
Answer

Here, Inner diameter of the cylindrical pipe = 24 cm
⇒ Inner radius of the pipe (r) = (24/2) cm = 12 cm
Outer diameter of the pipe = 28 cm
⇒ Outer radius of the pipe (R) = (28/2)cm = 14 cm
Length of the pipe (h) = 35 cm
∵ Inner volume of the pipe = πr2h
Outer volume of the pipe = πr2h
∴ Amount of wood (volume) in the pipe = Outer volume – Inner volume
= πR2h – πr2h
= πh(R2-r2)
= πh(R+r)(R-r)  a2 – b2 = (a+b)(a-b)]
= 22/7 x 35 x (14+12) x (14-12) cm3
= 22 x 5 x 26 x 2 cm3 

Mass of the wood in the pipe = [Mass of wood in 1 m3 of wood] x [Volume of wood in the pipe]
= [0.6g] x [22 x 5 x 26 x 2] cm3
= (6/10)x 22 x 10 x 26 g = 6 x 22 x 26 g
= 3432 g = (3432/1000)= 3.432 kg   [ 1000 g = 1 kg]
Thus, the required mass of the pipe is 3.432 kg.

3. A soft drink is available in two packs (i) a tin can with a rectangular base of length 5 cm and width 4 cm, having a height of 15 cm and (ii) a plastic cylinder with circular base of diameter 7 cm and height 10 cm. Which container has greater capacity and by how much?

Answer

For rectangular pack: Length (l) = 5 cm
Breadth (b) = 4 cm Height (h) = 15 cm
∴ Volume = l x b x h = 5 x 4 x 15 cm3
= 300 cm3
⇒ Capacity of the rectangular pack = 300 cm3     …(1)
For cylindrical pack: Base diameter = 7 cm
⇒ Radius of the base (r) = (7/2)cm
Height (h) = 10 cm
∴ Volume = πr2h = (22/7) x (7/2)2 x 10 cm3
= (22/7) x (7/2) x (7/2) x 10 cm3
= 11 x 7 x 5 cm3 = 385 cm3
⇒ Volume of the cylindrical pack = 385 cm3   …(2)
From (1) and (2),
we have 385 cm3 – 300 cm3 = 85 cm3
⇒ The cylindrical pack has the greater capacity by 85 cm3.

4. If the lateral surface of a cylinder is 94.2 cmand its height is 5 cm, then find: (i) radius of its base (ii) its volume. (Use π = 3.14)

Answer

(i) Since lateral surface of the cylinder = 2 πrh
But lateral surface of the cylinder = 94.2 cm2
 2πrh = 94.2
2×3.14×r×5 =942/10
⇒{(10×314)/100} × r = 942/10
⇒ r=(942/10)×{100/(10×314)}cm
⇒ r =471/157 cm 
Thus, the radius of the cylinder = 3 cm

(ii) Volume of a cylinder = πr2h
⇒ Volume of the given cylinder = 3.14 x (3)2 x 5 cm3
=314×100×3×3×5cm3
=(157×3×3)/10
= 1413/10 = 141.3 cm3

Thus, the required volume = 141.3 cm3

5. It costs ₹ 2200 to paint the inner curved surface of cylindrical vessel 10 m deep. If the cost of painting is at the rate of ₹ 20 per m2; find: (i) inner curved surface of the vessel (ii) radius of the base (iii) capacity of the vessel.

Answer

(i) To find inner curved surface
Total cost of painting = ₹ 2200
Rate of painting = ₹ 20 per m2
∴  Area =cost/rate = 2200/20 = 110 m2   
⇒ Inner curved surface of the vessel = 110 m2

(ii) To find radius of the base Let the base radius of the cylindrical vessel.
∵ Curved surface of a cylinder = 2 πrh
∴  2πrh = 110
⇒ 2× 22/7 ×r×10 = 110 [∵Height=10 m ]
⇒ r= (110×7)/(2×22×10)m = 7/4 m
= 1.75 m
⇒ The required radius of the base = 1.75 m

(iii) To find the capacity of the vessel
Since, volume of a cylinder = πr2h
 ∴ Volume (capacity) of the vessel =22/7 × (7/2)2 × 10 m3
= 22/7 × 7/4 × 7/4 × 10 m
= (11×7×5)/4 m3 = 385/4 m3 = 96.25 m3

Since, 1 m3 = 1000000 cm3 = 1000 l = 1 kl
∴ 96.5 m3 = 96.5 kl
Thus, the required volume = 96.25 kl

6. The capacity of closed cylindrical vessel of height 1 m is 15.4 litres. How many square metres of metal sheet would be needed to make it?

Answer

Capacity of the cylindrical vessel = 15.4 l
= 15.4×1000 cm

⇒ Volume of the vessel = (15.4/1000)m3
Height of the vessel = 1m Let ‘r’ metres be the radius of the base of the vessel
∴ Volume = πr2h

 

⇒ πr2h= 15.4/1000

Thus, the required sheet = 0.4708 m2

7. A lead pencil consists of a cylinder of wood with a solid cylinder of graphite filled in the interior. The diameter of the pencil is 7 mm and the diameter of graphite is 1 mm. If the length of the pencil is 14 cm, find the volume of the wood and that of the graphite.

Answer

Since, 10 mm = 1cm
∴ 1 mm = (1/10) cm
For graphite cylinder

Thus, the required volume of the graphite = 0.11 cm
For the pencil Diameter of the pencil = 7 mm = (7/10)cm
∴ Radius of the pencil (R) = (7/20) cm

 

Height of the pencil (h) = 14 cm
Volume of the pencil = πr2h

Volume of the wood Volume of the wood = [Volume of the pencil] – [Volume of the graphite]
= 5.39 cm3 – 0.11 cm3 = 5.28 cm
Thus, the required volume of the wood is 5.28 cm3.

8. A patient in a hospital is given soup daily in a cylindrical bowl of diameter 7 cm. If the bowl is filled with soup to a height of 4 cm, how much soup the hospital has to prepare daily to serve 250 patients?

Answer

The bowl is cylindrical.
Diameter of the base = 7 cm
⇒ Radius of the base (r) = (7/3) cm
Height (h) = 4 cm
Volume of soup = πr2h

= 38500 / 100 liters             

 

Thus, the hospital needs to prepare 38.5 litres of soup daily for 250 patients.

4. The diameter of the moon is approximately one-fourth of the diameter of the earth.What fraction of the volume of the earth is the volume of the moon? 

Answer

Let the diameter of the moon be r
Radius of the moon = r/2
A/q,
Diameter of the earth = 4r
Radius(r) = 4r/2 = 2r
Volume of the moon = v = 4/3 π(r/2)3
                                  = 4/3 πr× 1/8
⇒ 8v = 4/3 πr— (i)
Volume of the earth = r3 = 4/3 π(2r)3
                                = 4/3 πr3× 8
⇒ V/8 = 4/3 πr3 — (ii)
From (i) and (ii), we have
8v = V/8
⇒ v = 1/64 V
Thus, the volume of the moon is 1/64 of the volume of the earth.

8. A dome of a building is in the form of a hemisphere. From inside, it was white-washed at the cost of ₹498.96. If the cost of white-washing is ₹2.00 per square metre, find the
(i) inside surface area of the dome,      (ii) volume of the air inside the dome.

Answer

(i) Inside surface area of the dome =Total cost of white washing/Rate of white washing
                                                        =  (498.96/2.00) m= 249.48 m

 (ii) Let r be the radius of the dome.
Surface area = 2πr2
⇒ 2 × 22/7 × r= 249.48
⇒ r= (249.48×7)/(2×22) = 39.69
⇒ r2=  39.69
⇒ r = 6.3m
Volume of the air inside the dome = Volume of the dome
                                                       = 2/3 πr3
                                                                    = (2/3 × 22/7 × 6.3 × 6.3 × 6.3) m3
                                                       = 523.9 m(approx.)

(i) radius r′ of the new sphere,      (ii) ratio of S and S′. 

Answer

(i) Volume of 27 solid sphere of radius r = 27 × 4/3 πr3 — (i)
Volume of the new sphere of radius r′ = 4/3 πr’3 — (ii)
A/q,
4/3 πr’3= 27 × 4/3 πr3
⇒ r’= 27r3
⇒ r’= (3r)3
⇒ r′ = 3r
(ii) Required ratio = S/S′ = 4 πr2/4πr′= r2/(3r)2
                              = r2/9r2 = 1/9 = 1:9

Diameter of the spherical capsule = 3.5 mm
Radius(r) = 3.52mm
                = 1.75mm
Medicine needed for its filling = Volume of spherical capsule
                                                  = 4/3 πr3
                                                  = (4/3 × 22/7 × 1.75 × 1.75 × 1.75) mm3
                                                  = 22.46 mm(approx.)

 Question 1.
A wooden bookshelf has external dimensions as follows : Height = 110cm, Depth = 25cm, Breadth = 85cm (see figure). The thickness of the plank is 5 cm everywhere. The external faces are to be polished and the inner faces are to be painted. If the rate of polishing-is 20 paise per cm2 and the rate of pointing is 10 paise per cm2, find the total expenses required for palishing and painting the surface of the bookshelf.
NCERT Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 13 Surface Areas and Volumes Ex 13.9 A1
Solution:
Here, l = 85 cm b = 25 cm and h = 110 cm
Area of the bookshelf of outer surface = 2 lb + 2bh + hl
= [2(85 x 25)+ 2(110 x 25)+ 85×110] cm2 = (4250 + 5500 + 9350) cm2 = 19100 cm2
Cost of polishing of the outer surface of bookshelf
= 19100 x 20100 = ₹ 3820
Thickness of the plank = 5 cm
Internal height of bookshelf = (110 – 2 x 5) = 100 cm
Internal depth of bookshelf = (25 – 5) = 20 cm
Internal breadth of bookshelf = 85 – 2 x 5 = 75 cm
Hence, area of the internal surface of bookshelf
= 2(75 x 20)+ 2(100x 20)+ 75×100
= 3000 + 4000 + 7500 = 14500 cm2
So, cost of painting of internal surface of bookshelf
= 14500 x 10100 = ₹1450
Hence, total costing of polishing and painting = 3820 + 1450= ₹ 5270

Question 2.
The front compound wall of a house is decorated by wooden spheres of diameter 21 cm, placed on small supports as shown in figure. Eight such spheres are-used for this purpose, and are to be painted silver. Each support is a cylinder of radius 1.5 cm and height 7 cm and is to be painted black. Find the cost of paint required if silver paint costs 25 paise per cm2 and black paint costs 5 paise per cm2.
NCERT Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 13 Surface Areas and Volumes Ex 13.9 A2
Solution:
It is obvious, we have to subtract the cost of the sphere that is resting on the supports while calculating the cost of silver paint.
Surface area to be silver paint

NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 12 Heron’s Formula 

Exercise 12.1

1. A traffic signal board, indicating ‘SCHOOL AHEAD’, is an equilateral triangle with side ‘a’. Find the area of the signal board, using Heron’s formula. If its perimeter is 180 cm, what will be the area of the signal board?

Answer

Length of the side of equilateral triangle = a
Perimeter of the signal board = 3a = 180 cm
∴ 3a = 180 cm ⇒ a = 60 cm
Semi perimeter of the signal board (s) = 3a/2
Using heron’s formula,
Area of the signal board = √s (s-a) (s-b) (s-c)
                                       = √(3a/2) (3a/2 – a) (3a/2 – a) (3a/2 – a)
                                       = √3a/2 × a/2 × a/2 × a/2
                                       = √3a4/16
                                       = √3a2/4
                                       = √3/4 × 60 × 60 = 900√3 cm2

2. The triangular side walls of a flyover have been used for advertisements. The sides of the walls are 122 m, 22 m and 120 m (see Fig. 12.9). The advertisements yield an earning of ₹5000 per m2 per year. A company hired one of its walls for 3 months. How much rent did it pay?

Answer

The sides of the triangle are 122 m, 22 m and 120 m.
Perimeter of the triangle is 122 + 22 + 120 = 264m
Semi perimeter of triangle (s) = 264/2 = 132 m
Using heron’s formula,
Area of the advertisement = √s (s-a) (s-b) (s-c)
                                       = √132(132 – 122) (132 – 22) (132 – 120) m2
                                       = √132 × 10 × 110 × 12 m2
                                       = 1320 m2
Rent of advertising per year = ₹ 5000 per m2
Rent of one wall for 3 months = ₹ (1320 × 5000 × 3)/12 = ₹ 1650000

3. There is a slide in a park. One of its side walls has been painted in some colour with a message “KEEP THE PARK GREEN AND CLEAN” (see Fig. 12.10 ). If the sides of the wall are 15 m, 11 m and 6 m, find the area painted in colour.

Answer

Sides of the triangular wall are 15 m, 11 m and 6 m.
Semi perimeter of triangular wall (s) = (15 + 11 + 6)/2 m = 16 m
Using heron’s formula,
Area of the message = √s (s-a) (s-b) (s-c)
                                       = √16(16 – 15) (16 – 11) (16 – 6) m2
                                       = √16 × 1 × 5 × 10 m= √800 m2
                                       = 20√2 m2

4. Find the area of a triangle two sides of which are 18cm and 10cm and the perimeter is 42cm.

Answer

Two sides of the triangle = 18cm and 10cm
Perimeter of the triangle = 42cm
Third side of triangle = 42 – (18+10) cm = 14cm
Semi perimeter of triangle = 42/2 = 21cm
Using heron’s formula,
Area of the triangle = √s (s-a) (s-b) (s-c)
                                       = √21(21 – 18) (21 – 10) (21 – 14) cm2
                                       = √21 × 3 × 11 × 7 m2
                                       = 21√11 cm2

5. Sides of a triangle are in the ratio of 12 : 17 : 25 and its perimeter is 540cm. Find its area.

Answer

Ratio of the sides of the triangle = 12 : 17 : 25
Let the common ratio be x then sides are 12x, 17x and 25x
Perimeter of the triangle = 540cm
12x + 17x + 25x = 540 cm
⇒ 54x = 540cm
⇒ x = 10
Sides of triangle are,
12x = 12 × 10 = 120cm
17x = 17 × 10 = 170cm
25x = 25 × 10 = 250cm
Semi perimeter of triangle(s) = 540/2 = 270cm
Using heron’s formula,
Area of the triangle = √s (s-a) (s-b) (s-c)
                                       = √270(270 – 120) (270 – 170) (270 – 250)cm2
                                       = √270 × 150 × 100 × 20 cm2
                                       = 9000 cm2

6. An isosceles triangle has perimeter 30 cm and each of the equal sides is 12 cm. Find the area of the triangle.

Answer

Length of the equal sides = 12cm
Perimeter of the triangle = 30cm
Length of the third side = 30 – (12+12) cm = 6cm
Semi perimeter of the triangle(s) = 30/2 cm = 15cm
Using heron’s formula,
Area of the triangle = √s (s-a) (s-b) (s-c)
                                       = √15(15 – 12) (15 – 12) (15 – 6)cm2
                                       = √15 × 3 × 3 × 9 cm2
                                       = 9√15 cm2

Exercise 12.2

1. A park, in the shape of a quadrilateral ABCD, has ∠C = 90º, AB = 9 m, BC = 12 m, CD = 5 m and AD = 8 m. How much area does it occupy?

Answer

∠C = 90º, AB = 9 m, BC = 12 m, CD = 5 m and AD = 8 m
BD is joined.
In ΔBCD,
By applying Pythagoras theorem,
BD2 = BC+ CD
⇒ BD2 = 12+ 52
⇒ BD2 = 169
⇒ BD = 13 m
Area of ΔBCD = 1/2 × 12 × 5 = 30 m2
Now,
Semi perimeter of ΔABD(s) = (8 + 9 + 13)/2 m = 30/2 m = 15 m
Using heron’s formula,
Area of ΔABD  = √s (s-a) (s-b) (s-c)
                                       = √15(15 – 13) (15 – 9) (15 – 8) m2
                                       = √15 × 2 × 6 × 7 m2
                                       = 6√35 m= 35.5 m2 (approx)

Area of quadrilateral ABCD = Area of ΔBCD + Area of ΔABD = 30 m+ 35.5m2 = 65.5m

2. Find the area of a quadrilateral ABCD in which AB = 3 cm, BC = 4 cm, CD = 4 cm, DA = 5 cm and AC = 5 cm.

Answer

AB = 3 cm, BC = 4 cm, CD = 4 cm, DA = 5 cm and AC = 5 cm
In ΔABC,
By applying Pythagoras theorem,
AC2 = AB+ BC
⇒ 52 = 3+ 42
⇒ 25 = 25
Thus, ΔABC is a right angled at B.
Area of ΔBCD = 1/2 × 3 × 4 = 6 cm2
Now,
Semi perimeter of ΔACD(s) = (5 + 5 + 4)/2 cm = 14/2 cm = 7 m
Using heron’s formula,
Area of ΔABD  = √s (s-a) (s-b) (s-c)
                                       = √7(7 – 5) (7 – 5) (7 – 4) cm2
                                       = √7 × 2 × 2 × 3 cm2
                                       = 2√21 cm= 9.17 cm2 (approx)

Area of quadrilateral ABCD = Area of ΔABC + Area of ΔABD = 6 cm+ 9.17 cm2 = 15.17 cm

3. Radha made a picture of an aeroplane with coloured paper as shown in Fig 12.15. Find the total area of the paper used.
Answer

Length of the sides of the triangle section I = 5cm, 1cm and 5cm
Perimeter of the triangle = 5 + 5 + 1 = 11cm
Semi perimeter = 11/2 cm = 5.5cm
Using heron’s formula,
Area of section I  = √s (s-a) (s-b) (s-c)
                                       = √5.5(5.5 – 5) (5.5 – 5) (5.5 – 1) cm2
                                       = √5.5 × 0.5 × 0.5 × 4.5 cm2
                                       = 0.75√11 cm= 0.75 × 3.317cm2 = 2.488cm2 (approx)
Length of the sides of the rectangle of section I = 6.5cm and 1cm
Area of section II = 6.5 × 1 cm2 =  6.5 cm2
Section III is an isosceles trapezium which is divided into 3 equilateral of side 1cm each.
Area of the trapezium = 3 × √3/4 × 1cm= 1.3 cm(approx)
 
Section IV and V are 2 congruent right angled triangles with base 6cm and height 1.5cm
 
Area of region IV and V = 2 × 1/2 × 6 × 1.5cm= 9cm2
Total area of the paper used = (2.488 + 6.5 + 1.3 + 9)cm= 19.3 cm2
 
4. A triangle and a parallelogram have the same base and the same area. If the sides of the triangle are 26 cm, 28 cm and 30 cm, and the parallelogram stands on the base 28 cm, find the height of the parallelogram.

Answer

Given,
Area of the parallelogram and triangle are equal.
Length of the sides of the triangle are 26 cm, 28 cm and 30 cm.
Perimeter of the triangle = 26 + 28 + 30 = 84 cm
Semi perimeter of the triangle = 84/2 cm = 42 cm
Using heron’s formula,
Area of the triangle = √s (s-a) (s-b) (s-c)
                                       = √42(42 – 26) (46 – 28) (46 – 30) cm2
                                       = √46 × 16 × 14 × 16 cm2
                                       = 336 cm2Let height of parallelogram be h.
Area of parallelogram = Area of triangle
28cm × h = 336 cm2
 h = 336/28 cm
 h = 12 cm
The height of the parallelogram is 12 cm.

5. A rhombus shaped field has green grass for 18 cows to graze. If each side of the rhombus is 30 m and its longer diagonal is 48 m, how much area of grass field will each cow be getting?

Answer

Diagonal AC divides the rhombus ABCD into two congruent triangles of equal area.
Semi perimeter of ΔABC = (30 + 30 + 48)/2 m = 54 m
Using heron’s formula,
Area of the ΔABC = √s (s-a) (s-b) (s-c)
                                       = √54(54 – 30) (54 – 30) (54 – 48) m2
                                       = √54 × 24 × 24 × 6 cm2
                                       = 432 m2
Area of field = 2 × area of the ΔABC = (2 × 432)m= 864 m2
Thus,
Area of grass field which each cow will be getting = 864/18 m= 48 m2

6. An umbrella is made by stitching 10 triangular pieces of cloth of two different colours (see Fig.12.16), each piece measuring 20 cm, 50 cm and 50 cm. How much cloth of each colour is required for the umbrella?
Answer

Semi perimeter of each triangular piece = (50 + 50 + 20)/2 cm = 120/2 cm = 60cm
Using heron’s formula,
Area of the triangular piece = √s (s-a) (s-b) (s-c)
                                       = √60(60 – 50) (60 – 50) (60 – 20) cm2
                                       = √60 × 10 × 10 × 40 cm2
                                       = 200√6 cm2
Area of triangular piece = 5 × 200√6 cm= 1000√6 cm2

7. A kite in the shape of a square with a diagonal 32 cm and an isosceles triangle of base 8 cm and sides 6 cm each is to be made of three different shades as shown in Fig. 12.17. How much paper of each shade has been used in it?
 Answer

We know that,
As the diagonals of a square bisect each other at right angle.
Area of given kite = 1/2 (diagonal)2
                              = 1/2 × 32 × 32 = 512 cm2
Area of shade I = Area of shade II
⇒ 512/2 cm= 256 cm2
So, area of paper required in each shade = 256 cm2
For the III section,
Length of the sides of triangle = 6cm, 6cm and 8cm
Semi perimeter of triangle = (6 + 6 + 8)/2 cm = 10cm
Using heron’s formula,
Area of the III triangular piece = √s (s-a) (s-b) (s-c)
                                       = √10(10 – 6) (10 – 6) (10 – 8) cm2
                                       = √10 × 4 × 4 × 2 cm2
                                       = 8√6 cm2

8. A floral design on a floor is made up of 16 tiles which are triangular, the sides of the triangle being 9 cm, 28 cm and 35 cm (see Fig. 12.18). Find the cost of polishing the tiles at the rate of 50p per cm2 .
Answer

Semi perimeter of the each triangular shape = (28 + 9 + 35)/2 cm = 36 cm
Using heron’s formula,
Area of the each triangular shape = √s (s-a) (s-b) (s-c)
                                       = √36(36 – 28) (36 – 9) (36 – 35) cm2
                                       = √36 × 8 × 27 × 1 cm2
                                       = 36√6 cm= 88.2 cm2
Total area of 16 tiles = 16 × 88.2 cm= 1411.2 cm2Cost of polishing tiles = 50p per cm2
Total cost of polishing the tiles = Rs. (1411.2 × 0.5) = Rs. 705.6
 

9. A field is in the shape of a trapezium whose parallel sides are 25 m and 10 m. The non-parallel sides are 14 m and 13 m. Find the area of the field.

Answer
Let ABCD be the given trapezium with parallel sides AB = 25m and CD = 10mand the non-parallel sides AD = 13m and BC = 14m.
CM ⊥ AB and CE || AD.
In ΔBCE,
BC = 14m, CE = AD = 13 m and
BE = AB – AE = 25 – 10 = 15m
Semi perimeter of the ΔBCE = (15 + 13 + 14)/2 m = 21 m
Using heron’s formula,
Area of the ΔBCE = √s (s-a) (s-b) (s-c)
                                       = √21(21 – 14) (21 – 13) (21 – 15) m2
                                       = √21 × 7 × 8 × 6 m2
                                       = 84 m2
also, area of the ΔBCE = 1/2 × BE × CM = 84 m2
⇒ 1/2 × 15 × CM = 84 m2
⇒ CM = 168/15 m
⇒ CM = 56/5 m
Area of the parallelogram AECD = Base × Altitude = AE × CM = 10 × 84/5 = 112 m2
Area of the trapezium ABCD = Area of AECD + Area of ΔBCE
                                                = (112+ 84) m2  = 196 m

NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 11 Constructions

Exercise 11.1

1. Construct an angle of 90° at the initial point of a given ray and justify the construction.

Answer


Steps of construction:

Step 1: A ray YZ is drawn.
Step 2: With Y as a centre and any radius, an arc ABC is drawn cutting YZ at C.
Step 3: With C as a centre and the same radius, mark a point B on the arc ABC.

Step 4: With B as a centre and the same radius, mark a point A on the arc ABC.

Step 5: With A and B as centre, draw two arcs intersecting each other with the same radius at X.
Step 6: X and Y are joined and a ray XY making an angle 90° with YZ is formed.

Justification for construction:
We constructed ∠BYZ = 60° and also ∠AYB = 60°.
Thus, ∠AYZ = 120°.
Also, bisector of ∠AYB is constructed such that:
∠AYB = ∠XYA + ∠XYB
⇒ ∠XYB = 1/2∠AYB
⇒ ∠XYB = 1/2×60°
⇒ ∠XYB = 30°
Now,
∠XYZ = ∠BYZ + ∠XYB = 60° + 30° = 90°

2. Construct an angle of 45° at the initial point of a given ray and justify the construction.

Answer

Steps of construction:

Step 1: A ray OY is drawn.
Step 2: With O as a centre and any radius, an arc ABC is drawn cutting OY at A.
Step 3: With A as a centre and the same radius, mark a point B on the arc ABC.

Step 4: With B as a centre and the same radius, mark a point C on the arc ABC.
Step 5: With A and B as centre, draw two arcs intersecting each other with the same radius at X.
Step 6: X and Y are joined and a ray making an angle 90° with YZ is formed.
Step 7: With A and E as centres, two arcs are marked intersecting each other at D and the bisector of ∠XOY is drawn.

Justification for construction:
By construction,
∠XOY = 90°
We constructed the bisector of ∠XOY as DOY.
Thus,
∠DOY = 1/2 ∠XOY
∠DOY = 1/2×90° = 45°

3. Construct the angles of the following measurements:
(i) 30°        (ii) 22.5°        (iii) 15°

Answer

(i) 30°

Steps of constructions:
Step 1: A ray OY is drawn.
Step 2: With O as a centre and any radius, an arc AB is drawn cutting OY at A.
Step 3: With A and B as centres, two arcs are marked intersecting each other at X and the bisector of is drawn.

Thus, ∠XOY is the required angle making 30° with OY.

(ii) 22.5°

 

Steps of constructions:
Step 1: An angle ∠XOY = 90° is drawn.
Step 2: Bisector of ∠XOY is drawn such that ∠BOY = 45° is constructed.
Step 3: Again, ∠BOY is bisected such that ∠AOY is formed.
Thus, ∠AOY is the required angle making 22.5° with OY.

(iii) 15°

Steps of constructions:
Step 1: An angle ∠AOY = 60° is drawn.
Step 2: Bisector of ∠AOY is drawn such that ∠BOY = 30° is constructed.
Step 3: With C and D as centres, two arcs are marked intersecting each other at X and the bisector of ∠BOY is drawn.
Thus, ∠XOY is the required angle making 15° with OY.

Steps of constructions:

Step 1: A ray OY is drawn.
Step 2: An arc ABC is drawn with O as a centre.
Step 3: With A as a centre, two arcs are B and C are made on the arc ABC.
Step 4: With B and C as centres, arcs are made to intersect at E and ∠EOY = 90° is made.
Step 5: With B and C as centres, arcs are made to intersect at X

Thus, ∠XOY is the required angle making 135° with DY.

5. Construct an equilateral triangle, given its side and justify the construction.

Answer

Steps of constructions:
Step 1: A line segment AB=4 cm is drawn.
Step 2: With A and B as centres, two arcs are made.
Step 4: With D and E as centres, arcs are made to cut the previous arc respectively and forming angle of 60° each.
Step 5: Lines from A and B are extended to meet each other at C.
Thus, ABC is the required triangle formed.

Justification:
By construction,
AB = 4 cm, ∠A = 60° and ∠B = 60°
We know that,
∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180° (Sum of the angles of a triangle)
⇒ 60° + 60° + ∠C = 180°
⇒ 120° + ∠C = 180°
⇒ ∠C = 60°
BC = CA = 4 cm (Sides opposite to equal angles are equal)
AB = BC = CA = 4 cm
∠A = ∠B = ∠C = 60°

Exercise 11.2

Step 3: A line segment BD = 13 cm is cut on BX (which is equal to AB+AC).
Step 3: DC is joined and ∠DCY = ∠BDC is made.
Step 4: Let CY intersect BX at A.
Thus, ΔABC is the required triangle.

2. Construct a triangle ABC in which BC = 8cm, ∠B = 45° and AB – AC = 3.5 cm.

Answer

Steps of Construction:
Step 1: A line segment BC = 8 cm is drawn and at point B, make an angle of 45° i.e. ∠XBC.
Step 2: Cut the line segment BD = 3.5 cm (equal to AB – AC) on ray BX.
Step 3: Join DC and draw the perpendicular bisector PQ of DC.

Answer
Steps of Construction:
Step 1: A ray QX is drawn and cut off a line segment QR = 6 cm from it.
Step 2:. A ray QY is constructed making an angle of 60º with QR and YQ is produced to form a line YQY’
Step 3: Cut off  a line segment QS = 2cm  from QY’. RS is joined.
Step 5: Draw perpendicular bisector  of RS intersecting QY at a point  P. PR is joined.
Thus, ΔPQR is the required triangle.

Exercise 10.2

1. Recall that two circles are congruent if they have the same radii. Prove that equal chords of congruent circles subtend equal angles at their centres.

Answer

A circle is a collection of points whose every every point is equidistant from the centre. Thus, two circles can only be congruent when they the distance of every point of the both circle is equal from the centre.

Given,
AB = CD (Equal chords)
To prove,
∠AOB = ∠COD
Proof,
In ΔAOB and ΔCOD,
OA = OC (Radii)
OB = OD (Radii)
AB = CD (Given)
∴ ΔAOB ≅ ΔCOD (SSS congruence condition)
Thus, ∠AOB = ∠COD by CPCT.
Equal chords of congruent circles subtend equal angles at their centres.

2. Prove that if chords of congruent circles subtend equal angles at their centres, then the chords are equal.

Answer

Given,
∠AOB = ∠COD (Equal angles)
To prove,
AB = CD
Proof,
In ΔAOB and ΔCOD,
OA = OC (Radii)
∠AOB = ∠COD (Given)
OB = OD (Radii)
∴ ΔAOB ≅ ΔCOD (SAS congruence condition)
Thus, AB = CD by CPCT.
If chords of congruent circles subtend equal angles at their centres, then the chords are equal.

Exercise 10.3

1. Draw different pairs of circles. How many points does each pair have in common? What is the maximum number of common points?

Answer

One point P is common.

One point P is common.

Two points P and Q are common.

No point is common.

2. Suppose you are given a circle. Give a construction to find its centre.

Answer

Steps of construction:
Step I: A circle is drawn.
Step II: Two chords AB and CD are drawn.
Step III: Perpendicular bisector of the chords AB and CD are drawn.
Step IV: Let these two perpendicular bisector meet at a point. The point of intersection of these two perpendicular bisector is the centre of the circle.


3. If two circles intersect at two points, prove that their centres lie on the perpendicular bisector of the common chord.

Answer

Given,
Two circles which intersect each other at P and Q.
To prove,
OO’ is perpendicular bisector of PQ.
Proof,
In ΔPOO’ and ΔQOO’,
OP = OQ (Radii)
OO’ = OO’ (Common)
O’P = OQ (Radii)
∴ ΔPOO’ ≅ ΔQOO’ (SSS congruence condition)
Thus,
∠POO’ = ∠QOO’ — (i)
In ΔPOR and ΔQOR,
OP = OQ (Radii)
∠POR = ∠QOR (from i)
OR = OR (Common)
∴ ΔPOR ≅ ΔQOR (SAS congruence condition)
Thus,
∠PRO = ∠QRO
also,
∠PRO + ∠QRO = 180°
⇒ ∠PRO = ∠QRO = 180°/2 = 90°
Hence,
OO’ is perpendicular bisector of PQ.

Exercise 10.4

1. Two circles of radii 5 cm and 3 cm intersect at two points and the distance between their centres is 4 cm. Find the length of the common chord.

Answer

OP = 5cm, PS = 3cm and OS = 4cm.
also, PQ = 2PR
Let RS be x.

In ΔPOR,
OP= OR+ PR2
⇒ 5= (4-x)+ PR2
⇒ 25 = 16 + x– 8x +  PR2
⇒ PR2 = 9 – x2 + 8x — (i)


In ΔPRS,
PS= PR+ RS2
⇒ 3= PR2 + x2
⇒  PR2 = 9 – x2 — (ii)

Equating (i) and (ii),
9 – x2 + 8x = 9 – x2
⇒ 8x = 0
⇒ x = 0
Putting the value of x in (i) we get,
PR2 = 9 – 02
⇒ PR = 3cm
Length of the cord PQ = 2PR = 2×3 = 6cm

2. If two equal chords of a circle intersect within the circle, prove that the segments of one chord are equal to corresponding segments of the other chord.

Answer

Given,
AB and CD are chords intersecting at E.
AB = CD
To prove,
AE = DE and CE = BE
Construction,
OM ⊥ AB and ON ⊥ CD. OE is joined.

Proof,
OM bisects AB (OM ⊥ AB)
ON bisects CD (ON ⊥ CD)
As AB = CD thus,
AM = ND — (i)
and MB = CN — (ii)
In ΔOME and ΔONE,
∠OME = ∠ONE (Perpendiculars)
OE = OE (Common)
OM = ON (AB = CD and thus equidistant from the centre)
ΔOME ≅ ΔONE by RHS congruence condition.
ME = EN by CPCT — (iii)
From (i) and (ii) we get,
AM + ME = ND + EN
⇒ AE = ED
From (ii)  and (iii) we get,
MB – ME = CN – EN
⇒ EB = CE

3. If two equal chords of a circle intersect within the circle, prove that the line joining the point of intersection to the centre makes equal angles with the chords.

Answer

Given,
AB and CD are chords intersecting at E.
AB = CD, PQ is the diameter.
To prove,
∠BEQ = ∠CEQ
Construction,
OM ⊥ AB and ON ⊥ CD. OE is joined.

In ΔOEM and ΔOEN,
OM = ON (Equal chords are equidistant from the centre)
OE = OE (Common)
∠OME = ∠ONE (Perpendicular)
ΔOEM ≅ ΔOEN by RHS congruence condition.
Thus,
∠MEO = ∠NEO by CPCT
⇒ ∠BEQ = ∠CEQ

4. If a line intersects two concentric circles (circles with the same centre) with centre O at A, B, C and D, prove that AB = CD (see Fig. 10.25).

Answer

OM ⊥ AD is drawn from O.
OM bisects AD as OM ⊥ AD.
⇒ AM = MD — (i)
also, OM bisects BC as OM ⊥ BC.
⇒ BM = MC — (ii)
From (i) and (ii),
AM – BM = MD – MC
⇒ AB = CD

5. Three girls Reshma, Salma and Mandip are playing a game by standing on a circle of radius 5m drawn in a park. Reshma throws a ball to Salma, Salma to Mandip, Mandip to Reshma. If the distance between Reshma and Salma and between Salma and Mandip is 6m each, what is the distance between Reshma and Mandip?

Answer

 Let A, B and C represent the positions of Reshma, Salma and Mandip respectively.
AB = 6cm and BC = 6cm.
Radius OA = 5cm
BM ⊥ AC is drawn.
ABC is an isosceles triangle as AB = BC, M is mid-point of AC. BM is perpendicular bisector of AC and thus it passes through the centre of the circle.
Let AM = y and OM = x then BM = (5-x).
Applying Pythagoras theorem in ΔOAM,
OA= OM+ AM2
⇒ 5= x+ y— (i)
Applying Pythagoras theorem in ΔAMB,
AB= BM+ AM2
⇒ 6= (5-x)+ y2 — (ii)
Subtracting (i) from (ii), we get
36 – 25 = (5-x) x2 –
⇒ 11 = 25 – 10x
⇒ 10x = 14 ⇒ x= 7/5
Substituting the value of x in (i), we get
y+ 49/25 = 25
⇒ y2 = 25 – 49/25
⇒ y2 = (625 – 49)/25
⇒ y2 = 576/25
⇒ y = 24/5
Thus,
AC = 2×AM = 2×y = 2×(24/5) m = 48/5 m = 9.6 m
Distance between Reshma and Mandip is 9.6 m.

6. A circular park of radius 20m is situated in a colony. Three boys Ankur, Syed and David are sitting at equal distance on its boundary each having a toy telephone in his hands to talk each other. Find the length of the string of each phone.

Answer

Let A, B and C represent the positions of Ankur, Syed and David respectively. All three boys at equal distances thus ABC is an equilateral triangle.
AD ⊥ BC is drawn. Now, AD is median of ΔABC and it passes through the centre O.
Also, O is the centroid of the ΔABC. OA is the radius of the triangle.
OA = 2/3 AD
Let the side of a triangle a metres then BD = a/2 m.
Applying Pythagoras theorem in ΔABD,
AB= BD+ AD2
⇒ AD= AB– BD
⇒ AD= a (a/2)2
⇒ AD= 3a2/4
⇒ AD = √3a/2
OA = 2/3 AD ⇒ 20 m = 2/3 × √3a/2
⇒ a = 20√3 m
Length of the string is 20√3 m.

Exercise 10.5

1. In Fig. 10.36, A,B and C are three points on a circle with centre O such that ∠BOC = 30° and ∠AOB = 60°. If D is a point on the circle other than the arc ABC, find ∠ADC.

Answer

Here,
∠AOC = ∠AOB + ∠BOC
⇒ ∠AOC = 60° + 30°
⇒ ∠AOC = 90°
We know that angle subtended by an arc at centre is double the angle subtended by it any point on the remaining part of the circle.
∠ADC = 1/2∠AOC = 1/2 × 90° = 45°

Page No: 185

2. A chord of a circle is equal to the radius of the circle. Find the angle subtended by the chord at a point on the minor arc and also at a point on the major arc.

Answer

Given,
AB is equal to the radius of the circle.
In ΔOAB,
OA = OB = AB = radius of the circle.
Thus, ΔOAB is an equilateral triangle.
∠AOC = 60°
also,
∠ACB = 1/2 ∠AOB = 1/2 × 60° = 30°
ACBD is a cyclic quadrilateral,
∠ACB + ∠ADB = 180° (Opposite angles of cyclic quadrilateral)
⇒ ∠ADB = 180° – 30° = 150°
 
Thus, angle subtend by the chord at a point on the minor arc and also at a point on the major arc are 150° and 30° respectively.

3. In Fig. 10.37, ∠PQR = 100°, where P, Q and R are points on a circle with centre O. Find ∠OPR.

Answer

Reflex ∠POR = 2 × ∠PQR = 2 × 100° = 200°
∴ ∠POR = 360° – 200° = 160°
In ΔOPR,
OP = OR (radii of the circle)
∠OPR = ∠ORP
Now,
∠OPR + ∠ORP +∠POR = 180° (Sum of the angles in a triangle)
⇒ ∠OPR + ∠OPR + 160° = 180°
⇒ 2∠OPR = 180° –  160°
⇒ ∠OPR = 10°

4. In Fig. 10.38, ∠ABC = 69°, ∠ ACB = 31°, find ∠BDC.
Answer

∠BAC = ∠BDC (Angles in the segment of the circle)
In ΔABC,
∠BAC + ∠ABC + ∠ACB = 180° (Sum of the angles in a triangle)
⇒ ∠BAC + 69° + 31° = 180°
⇒ ∠BAC = 180° – 100°
⇒ ∠BAC = 80°
Thus, ∠BDC = 80°

5. In Fig. 10.39, A, B, C and D are four points on a circle. AC and BD intersect at a point E such that ∠BEC = 130° and ∠ECD = 20°. Find ∠ BAC.
Answer

∠BAC = ∠CDE (Angles in the segment of the circle)
In ΔCDE,
∠CEB = ∠CDE + ∠DCE (Exterior angles of the triangle)
⇒ 130° = ∠CDE + 20°
⇒ ∠CDE = 110°
Thus, ∠BAC = 110°

6. ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral whose diagonals intersect at a point E. If ∠DBC = 70°, ∠BAC is 30°, find ∠BCD. Further, if AB = BC, find ∠ECD.

Answer

For chord CD,
∠CBD = ∠CAD (Angles in same segment)
∠CAD = 70°
∠BAD = ∠BAC + ∠CAD = 30° + 70° = 100°
∠BCD + ∠BAD = 180°        (Opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral)
⇒ ∠BCD + 100° = 180°
⇒ ∠BCD = 80°
In ΔABC
AB = BC (given)
∠BCA = ∠CAB (Angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle)
∠BCA = 30°
also, ∠BCD = 80°
∠BCA + ∠ACD = 80°
⇒ 30° + ∠ACD = 80°
∠ACD = 50°
∠ECD = 50°

7. If diagonals of a cyclic quadrilateral are diameters of the circle through the vertices of the quadrilateral, prove that it is a rectangle.

Answer

Let ABCD be a cyclic quadrilateral and its diagonal AC and BD are the diameters of the circle through the vertices of the quadrilateral.
∠ABC = ∠BCD = ∠CDA = ∠DAB = 90° (Angles in the semi-circle)
Thus, ABCD is a rectangle as each internal angle is 90°.

8. If the non-parallel sides of a trapezium are equal, prove that it is cyclic.

Answer

Given,
ABCD is a trapezium where non-parallel sides AD and BC are equal.
Construction,
DM and CN are perpendicular drawn on AB from D and C respectively.
To prove,
ABCD is cyclic trapezium.
Proof:
In ΔDAM and ΔCBN,
AD = BC (Given)
∠AMD = ∠BNC (Right angles)
DM = CN (Distance between the parallel lines)
ΔDAM ≅ ΔCBN by RHS congruence condition.
Now,
∠A = ∠B by CPCT
also, ∠B + ∠C = 180° (sum of the co-interior angles)
⇒ ∠A + ∠C = 180°
Thus, ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral as sum of the pair of opposite angles is 180°.

Page No: 186

9. Two circles intersect at two points B and C. Through B, two line segments ABD and PBQ are drawn to intersect the circles at A, D and P, Q respectively (see Fig. 10.40). Prove that ∠ACP = ∠QCD.
Answer

Chords AP and DQ are joined.
For chord AP,
∠PBA = ∠ACP (Angles in the same segment) — (i)
For chord DQ,
∠DBQ = ∠QCD (Angles in same segment) — (ii)
ABD and PBQ are line segments intersecting at B.
∠PBA = ∠DBQ (Vertically opposite angles) — (iii)
By the equations (i), (ii) and (iii),
∠ACP = ∠QCD

10. If circles are drawn taking two sides of a triangle as diameters, prove that the point of intersection of these circles lie on the third side.

Answer

Given,
Two circles are drawn on the sides AB and AC of the triangle ΔABC as diameters. The circles intersected at D.
Construction,
AD is joined.
To prove,
D lies on BC. We have to prove that BDC is a straight line.
Proof:
∠ADB = ∠ADC = 90° (Angle in the semi circle)
Now,
∠ADB + ∠ADC = 180°
⇒ ∠BDC is straight line.
Thus, D lies on the BC.

11. ABC and ADC are two right triangles with common hypotenuse AC. Prove that ∠CAD = ∠CBD.

Answer

Given,
AC is the common hypotenuse. ∠B = ∠D = 90°.
To prove,
∠CAD = ∠CBD

Proof:
Since, ∠ABC and ∠ADC are 90°. These angles are in the semi circle. Thus, both the triangles are lying in the semi circle and AC is the diameter of the circle.
⇒ Points A, B, C and D are concyclic.
Thus, CD is the chord.
⇒ ∠CAD = ∠CBD (Angles in the same segment of the circle)

12. Prove that a cyclic parallelogram is a rectangle.

Answer

Given,
ABCD is a cyclic parallelogram.
To prove,
ABCD is rectangle.
Proof:
∠1 + ∠2 = 180° (Opposite angles of a cyclic parallelogram)
also, Opposite angles of a cyclic parallelogram are equal.
Thus,
∠1 = ∠2
⇒ ∠1 + ∠1 = 180°
⇒ ∠1 = 90°
One of the interior angle of the paralleogram is right angled. Thus, ABCD is a rectangle.

 Question 1.
Prove that the line of centres of two intersecting circles subtends equal angles at the two points of intersection.
Solution:
Given: Two circles with centres O and O’ which intersect each other at C and D.
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 10 Circles Ex 10.6 A1
To prove: ∠OCO’ = ∠ODO’
Construction: Join OC, OD, O’C and O’D
Proof: In ∆ OCO’and ∆ODO’, we have
OC = OD (Radii of the same circle)
O’C = O’D (Radii of the same circle)
OO’ = OO’ (Common)
∴ By SSS criterion, we get
∆ OCO’ ≅ ∆ ODO’
Hence, ∠OCO’ = ∠ODO’ (By CPCT)

 Question 2.
Two chords AB and CD of lengths 5 cm and 11 cm, respectively of a circle are parallel to each other and are on opposite sides of its centre. If the distance between AB and CD is 6 cm, find the radius of the circle.
Solution:
Let O be the centre of the given circle and let its radius be cm.
Draw ON ⊥ AB and OM⊥ CD since, ON ⊥ AB, OM ⊥ CD and AB || CD, therefore points N, O, M are collinear.
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 10 Circles Ex 10.6 A2
Let ON = a cm
∴ OM = (6 – a) cm
Join OA and OC.
Then, OA = OC = b c m
Since, the perpendicular from the centre to a chord of the circle bisects the chord.
Therefore, AN = NB= 2.5 cm and OM = MD = 5.5 cm
In ∆OAN and ∆OCM, we get
OA2 = ON2 + AN2
OC2 = OM2 + CM2
⇒ b2 = a2 + (2.5)2
and, b2 = (6-a)2 + (5.5)2 …(i)
So, a2 + (2.5)2 = (6 – a)2 + (5.5)2
⇒ a2 + 6.25= 36-12a + a2 + 30.25
⇒ 12a = 60
⇒ a = 5
On putting a = 5 in Eq. (i), we get
b2 = (5)2 + (2.5)2
= 25 + 6.25 = 31.25
So, r = 31.25−−−−√ = 5.6cm (Approx.)

 

 Question 3.
The lengths of two parallel chords of a circle are 6 cm and 8 cm. If the smaller chord is at distance 4 cm from the centre, what is the distance of the other chord from the centre ?
Solution:
Let PQ and RS be two parallel chords of a circle with centre O such that PQ = 6 cm and RS = 8 cm.
Let a be the radius of circle.
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 10 Circles Ex 10.6 A3
Draw ON ⊥ RS, OM ⊥ PQ. Since, PQ || RS and ON ⊥ RS, OM⊥ PQ, therefore points 0,N,M are collinear.
∵ OM = 4 cm and M and N are the mid-points of PQ and RS respectively.
PM = MQ = 12 PQ = 62 = 3 cm
and RN = NS = 12 RS = 82 = 4 cm
In ∆OPM, we have
OP2 = OM2 + PM2
⇒ a2 =42 + 32 = 16 + 9 = 25
⇒ a = 5
In ∆ORN, we have
⇒ OR2 = ON2 + RN2
⇒ a2 = ON2 + (4)2
⇒ 25 = ON2 + 16
⇒ ON2 = 9
⇒ ON = 3cm
Hence, the distance of the chord PS from the centre is 3 cm.

 

Question 4.
Let the vertex of an angle ABC be located outside a circle and let the sides of the angle intersect equal chords AD and CE with the circle. Prove that ∠ABC is equal to half the difference of the angles subtended by the chords AC and DE at the centre.
Solution:
Since, an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the interior opposite angles.
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 10 Circles Ex 10.6 A4
∴ In ∆BDC, we get
∠ADC = ∠DBC + ∠DCB …(i)
Since, angle at the centre is twice at a point on the remaining part of circle.
∴ ∠DCE = 12 ∠DOE
⇒ ∠DCB = 12 ∠DOE (∵ ∠DCE = ∠DCB)
∠ADC = 12 ∠AOC
∴ 12 ∠AOC = ∠ABC + 12 ∠DOE (∵ ∠DBC = ∠ABC)
∴ ∠ABC = 12 (∠AOC – ∠DOE)
Hence, ∠ABC is equal to half the difference of angles subtended by the chords AC and DE at the centre.

 

 Question 5.
Prove that the circle drawn with any side of a rhombus as diameter, passes through the point of intersection of its diagonals.
Solution:
Given: PQRS is a rhombus. PR and SQ are its two diagonals which bisect each other at right angles.
To prove: A circle drawn on PQ as diameter will pass through O.
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 10 Circles Ex 10.6 A5
Construction: Through O, draw MN || PS and EF || PQ.
Proof : ∵ PQ = SR ⇒ 12 PQ = 12 SR
So, PN = SM
Similarly, PE = ON
So, PN = ON = NQ
Therefore, a circle drawn with N as centre and radius PN passes through P, O, Q.

 

 Question 6.
ABCD is a parallelogram. The circle through A, B and C intersect CD (produced if necessary) at E. Prove that AE = AD.
Solution:
Since, ABCE is a cyclic quadrilateral, therefore
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 10 Circles Ex 10.6 A6
∠AED+ ∠ABC= 180°
(∵ Sum of opposite angle of a cyclic quadrilateral is 180°) .. .(i)
∵ ∠ADE + ∠ADC = 180° (EDC is a straight line)
So, ∠ADE + ∠ABC = 180°
(∵ ∠ADC = ∠ABC opposite angle of a || gm).. .(ii)
From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
∠AED + ∠ABC = ∠ADE + ∠ABC
⇒ ∠AED = ∠ADE
∴ In ∆AED We have
∠AED = ∠ADE
So, AD = AE
(∵ Sides opposite to equal angles of a triangle are equal)

 

 Question 7.
AC and BD are chords of a circle which bisect each other. Prove that
(i) AC and BD are diameters,
(ii) ABCD is a rectangle.
Solution:
(i) Let BD and AC be two chords of a circle bisect at P.
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 10 Circles Ex 10.6 A7
In ∆APB and ∆CPD, we get
PA = PC ( ∵ P is the mid-point of AC)
∠APB = ∠CPD (Vertically opposite angles)
and PB = PD (∵ P is the mid-point of BD)
∴ By SAS criterion
∆CPD ≅ ∆APB
∴ CD= AB (By CPCT) …(i)
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 10 Circles Ex 10.6 A7.1
∴ BD divides the circle into two equal parts. So, BD is a diameter.
Similarly, AC is a diameter.
(ii) Now, BD and AC bisect each other.
So, ABCD is a parallelogram.
Also, AC = BD
∴ ABCD is a rectangle.

 

Ex 10.6 Class 9 Maths Question 8.
Bisectors of angles A, B and C of a ∆ABC intersect its circumcircle at D, E and F, respectively. Prove that the angles of the ∆DEF are 90° – 12 A, 90° – 12 B and 90° – 12 C.
Solution:
∵ ∠EDF = ∠EDA + ∠ADF
∵ ∠EDA and ∠EBA are the angles in the same segment of the circle.
∴ ∠EDA = ∠EBA
and similarly ∠ADF and ∠FCA are the angles in the same segment and hence
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 10 Circles Ex 10.6 A8

 

Ex 10.6 Class 9 Maths Question 9.
Two congruent circles intersect each other at points A and B. Through A any line segment PAQ is drawn so that P, Q lie on the two circles. Prove that BP = BQ.
Solution:
Let O’ and O be the centres of two congruent circles.
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 10 Circles Ex 10.6 A9
Since, AB is a common chord of these circles.
∴ ∠BPA = ∠BQA
(∵ Angle subtended by equal chords are equal)
⇒ BP = BQ

Ex 10.6 Class 9 Maths Question 10.
In any ∆ ABC, if the angle bisector of ∠A and perpendicular bisector of BC intersect, prove that they intersect on the circumcircle of the ∆ABC.
Solution:
(i) Let bisector of ∠A meet the circumcircle of ∆ABC at M.
Join BM and CM.
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 10 Circles Ex 10.6 A10
∴ ∠MBC = ∠MAC (Angles in same segment)
and ∠BCM = ∠BAM (Angles in same segment)
But ∠BAM = ∠CAM (∵ AM is bisector of ∠A)…. .(i)
∴ ∠MBC = ∠BCM
So, MB = MC (Sides opposite to equal angles are equal)
So, M must lie on the perpendicular bisector of BC
(ii) Let M be a point on the perpendicular bisector of BC which lies on circumcircle of ∆ ABC.
Join AM.
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 10 Circles Ex 10.6 A10.1
Since, M lies on perpendicular bisector of BC.
∴ BM = CM
∠MBC = ∠MCB
But ∠MBC = ∠MAC (Angles in same segment)
and ∠MCB = ∠BAM (Angles in same segment)
So, from Eq. (i),
∠BAM = ∠CAM
AM is the bisector of A.
Hence, bisector of ∠A and perpendicular bisector of BC at M which lies on circumcircle of ∆ABC.

NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 9 Areas of Parallelograms and Triangles

Exercise 9.1

1. Which of the following figures lie on the same base and between the same parallels. In such a case, write the common base and the two parallels.

Answer

(i) Trapezium ABCD and ΔPDC lie on the same DC and between the same parallel lines AB and DC.
(ii) Parallelogram PQRS and  trapezium SMNR lie on the same base SR but not between the same parallel lines.

(iii) Parallelogram PQRS and ΔRTQ lie on the same base QR and between the same parallel lines QR and PS.
(iv) Parallelogram ABCD and ΔPQR do not lie on the same base but between the same parallel lines BC and AD.
(v) Quadrilateral ABQD and trapezium APCD lie on the same base AD and between the same parallel lines AD and BQ.
(vi) Parallelogram PQRS and parallelogram ABCD do not lie on the same base SR but between the same parallel lines SR and PQ.

Exercise 9.2

1. In Fig. 9.15, ABCD is a parallelogram, AE ⊥ DC and CF ⊥ AD. If AB = 16 cm, AE = 8 cm and CF = 10 cm, find AD.

Answer

Given,
AB = CD = 16 cm (Opposite sides of a parallelogram)
CF = 10 cm and AE = 8 cm
Now,
Area of parallelogram = Base × Altitude
= CD × AE = AD × CF
⇒ 16 × 8 = AD × 10
⇒ AD = 128/10 cm
⇒ AD = 12.8 cm

2. If E,F,G and H are respectively the mid-points of the sides of a parallelogram ABCD, show that
ar (EFGH) = 1/2 ar(ABCD).

Answer 

Given,
E,F,G and H are respectively the mid-points of the sides of a parallelogram ABCD.
To Prove,
ar (EFGH) = 1/2 ar(ABCD)
Construction,
H and F are joined.
Proof,
AD || BC and AD = BC (Opposite sides of a parallelogram)
⇒ 1/2 AD = 1/2 BC
Also,
AH || BF and and DH || CF
⇒ AH = BF and DH = CF (H and F are mid points)
Thus, ABFH and HFCD are parallelograms.
Now,
ΔEFH and ||gm ABFH lie on the same base FH and between the same parallel lines AB and HF.
∴ area of EFH = 1/2 area of ABFH — (i)
also, area of GHF = 1/2 area of HFCD — (ii)
Adding (i) and (ii),
area of ΔEFH + area of ΔGHF = 1/2 area of ABFH + 1/2 area of HFCD
⇒ area of EFGH = area of ABFH
⇒ ar (EFGH) = 1/2 ar(ABCD)

3. P and Q are any two points lying on the sides DC and AD respectively of a parallelogram ABCD. Show that ar(APB) = ar(BQC).

Answer

ΔAPB and ||gm ABCD are on the same base AB and between same parallel AB and DC.
Therefore,
ar(ΔAPB) = 1/2 ar(||gm ABCD) — (i)
Similarly,
ar(ΔBQC) = 1/2 ar(||gm ABCD) — (ii)
From (i) and (ii),
we have ar(ΔAPB) = ar(ΔBQC)

4. In Fig. 9.16, P is a point in the interior of a parallelogram ABCD. Show that
(i) ar(APB) + ar(PCD) = 1/2 ar(ABCD)
(ii) ar(APD) + ar(PBC) = ar(APB) + ar(PCD)
[Hint : Through P, draw a line parallel to AB.]

Answer 

(i) A line GH is drawn parallel to AB passing through P.
In a parallelogram,
AB || GH (by construction) — (i)
Thus,
AD || BC ⇒ AG || BH — (ii)
From equations (i) and (ii),
ABHG is a parallelogram.
Now,
In ΔAPB and parallelogram ABHG are lying on the same base AB and between the same parallel lines AB and GH.
∴ ar(ΔAPB) = 1/2 ar(ABHG) — (iii)
also,
In ΔPCD and parallelogram CDGH are lying on the same base CD and between the same parallel lines CD and GH.
∴ ar(ΔPCD) = 1/2 ar(CDGH) — (iv)
Adding equations (iii) and (iv),
ar(ΔAPB) + ar(ΔPCD) = 1/2 {ar(ABHG) + ar(CDGH)}
⇒ ar(APB) + ar(PCD) = 1/2 ar(ABCD)

(ii) A line EF is drawn parallel to AD passing through P.
In a parallelogram,
AD || EF (by construction) — (i)
Thus,
AB || CD ⇒ AE || DF — (ii)
From equations (i) and (ii),
AEDF is a parallelogram.
Now,
In ΔAPD and parallelogram AEFD are lying on the same base AD and between the same parallel lines AD and EF.
∴ ar(ΔAPD) = 1/2 ar(AEFD) — (iii)
also,
In ΔPBC and parallelogram BCFE are lying on the same base BC and between the same parallel lines BC and EF.
∴ ar(ΔPBC) = 1/2 ar(BCFE) — (iv)
Adding equations (iii) and (iv),
ar(ΔAPD) + ar(ΔPBC) = 1/2 {ar(AEFD) + ar(BCFE)}
⇒ ar(APD) + ar(PBC) = ar(APB) + ar(PCD)

5. In Fig. 9.17, PQRS and ABRS are parallelograms and X is any point on side BR. Show that
(i) ar (PQRS) = ar (ABRS)
(ii) ar (AXS) = 1/2 ar (PQRS) 

 
Answer
 
(i) Parallelogram PQRS and ABRS lie on the same base SR and between the same parallel lines SR and PB.

∴ ar(PQRS) = ar(ABRS) — (i)
(ii) In ΔAXS and parallelogram ABRS are lying on the same base AS and between the same parallel lines AS and BR.
∴ ar(ΔAXS) = 1/2 ar(ABRS) — (ii)
From (i) and (ii),
ar(ΔAXS) = 1/2 ar(PQRS)

6. A farmer was having a field in the form of a parallelogram PQRS. She took any point A on RS and joined it to points P and Q. In how many parts the fields is divided? What are the shapes of these parts? The farmer wants to sow wheat and pulses in equal portions of the field separately. How should she do it?

Answer

The field is divided into three parts. The three parts are in the shape of triangle. ΔPSA, ΔPAQ and ΔQAR.
Area of ΔPSA + ΔPAQ + ΔQAR = Area of PQRS — (i) 
Area of ΔPAQ = 1/2 area of PQRS — (ii)
Triangle and parallelogram on the same base and between the same parallel lines.
From (i) and (ii),
Area of ΔPSA + Area of ΔQAR = 1/2 area of PQRS — (iii)
Clearly from (ii) and (iii),
Farmer must sow wheat or pulses in ΔPAQ or either in both ΔPSA and ΔQAR.

Exercise 9.3

1. In Fig.9.23, E is any point on median AD of a ΔABC. Show that ar (ABE) = ar(ACE).
 
Answer
 
Given,
AD is median of ΔABC. Thus, it will divide ΔABC into two triangles of equal area.
∴ ar(ABD) = ar(ACD) — (i)
also,
ED is the median of ΔABC.
∴ ar(EBD) = ar(ECD) — (ii)
Subtracting (ii) from (i),
ar(ABD) – ar(EBD) = ar(ACD) – ar(ECD)
⇒ ar(ABE) = ar(ACE)
 
2. In a triangle ABC, E is the mid-point of median AD. Show that ar(BED) = 1/4 ar(ABC).
 
 
Answer
 
ar(BED) = (1/2) × BD × DE 
As E is the mid-point of AD,
Thus, AE = DE 
As AD is the median on side BC of triangle ABC, 
Thus, BD = DC 
Therefore,
DE = (1/2)AD — (i)
BD = (1/2)BC — (ii)
From (i) and (ii),
ar(BED) = (1/2) × (1/2) BC × (1/2)AD 
⇒ ar(BED) = (1/2) × (1/2) ar(ABC)
⇒ ar(BED) = 1/4 ar(ABC)
 
 
 
 
3. Show that the diagonals of a parallelogram divide it into four triangles of equal area.
 
Answer
O is the mid point of AC and BD. (diagonals of bisect each other)
In ΔABC, BO is the median.
∴ ar(AOB) = ar(BOC) — (i)
also,
In ΔBCD, CO is the median.
∴ ar(BOC) = ar(COD) — (ii)
In ΔACD, OD is the median.
∴ ar(AOD) = ar(COD) — (iii)
In ΔABD, AO is the median.
∴ ar(AOD) = ar(AOB) — (iv)
From equations (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv),
ar(BOC) = ar(COD) = ar(AOD) = ar(AOB)
So, the diagonals of a parallelogram divide it into four triangles of equal area.
 
4. In Fig. 9.24, ABC and ABD are two triangles on the same base AB. If line- segment CD is bisected by AB at O, show that:
ar(ABC) = ar(ABD).
 
Answer
 
In ΔABC,
AO is the median. (CD is bisected by AB at O)
∴ ar(AOC) = ar(AOD) — (i) 
also, 
In ΔBCD,
BO is the median. (CD is bisected by AB at O)
∴ ar(BOC) = ar(BOD) — (ii)
Adding (i) and (ii) we get,
ar(AOC) + ar(BOC) = ar(AOD) + ar(BOD)
⇒ ar(ABC) = ar(ABD)
 
Page No: 163 

5. D, E and F are respectively the mid-points of the sides BC, CA and AB of a ΔABC.
Show that
(i) BDEF is a parallelogram.         (ii) ar(DEF) = 1/4 ar(ABC)
(iii) ar (BDEF) = 1/2 ar(ABC)

Answer
(i) In ΔABC,
EF || BC and EF = 1/2 BC (by mid point theorem)
also,
BD = 1/2 BC (D is the mid point)
So, BD = EF
also,
BF and DE will also parallel and equal to each other.
Thus, the pair opposite sides are equal in length and parallel to each other.
∴ BDEF is a parallelogram.

(ii) Proceeding from the result of (i),
BDEF, DCEF, AFDE are parallelograms.
Diagonal of a parallelogram divides it into two triangles of equal area.
∴ ar(ΔBFD) = ar(ΔDEF) (For parallelogram BDEF) — (i)
also,
ar(ΔAFE) = ar(ΔDEF) (For parallelogram DCEF) — (ii)
ar(ΔCDE) = ar(ΔDEF) (For parallelogram AFDE) — (iii)
From (i), (ii) and (iii)
ar(ΔBFD) = ar(ΔAFE) = ar(ΔCDE) = ar(ΔDEF)
⇒ ar(ΔBFD) + ar(ΔAFE) + ar(ΔCDE) + ar(ΔDEF) = arar(ΔABC)
⇒ 4 ar(ΔDEF) = ar(ΔABC) 
⇒ ar(DEF) = 1/4 ar(ABC)

(iii) Area (parallelogram BDEF) = ar(ΔDEF) + ar(ΔBDE) 
⇒ ar(parallelogram BDEF) = ar(ΔDEF) + ar(ΔDEF)
⇒ ar(parallelogram BDEF) = 2× ar(ΔDEF) ⇒ ar(parallelogram BDEF) = 2× 1/4  ar(ΔABC) ⇒ ar(parallelogram BDEF) = 1/2 ar(ΔABC)

6. In Fig. 9.25, diagonals AC and BD of quadrilateral ABCD intersect at O such that OB = OD.
If AB = CD, then show that:
(i) ar (DOC) = ar (AOB)
(ii) ar (DCB) = ar (ACB)
(iii) DA || CB or ABCD is a parallelogram.
[Hint : From D and B, draw perpendiculars to AC.]

Answer
Given,
OB = OD and AB = CD
Construction, 
DE ⊥ AC and BF ⊥ AC are drawn.
Proof:
(i) In ΔDOE and ΔBOF,
∠DEO = ∠BFO (Perpendiculars)
∠DOE = ∠BOF (Vertically opposite angles)
OD = OB (Given)
Therefore, ΔDOE ≅ ΔBOF by AAS congruence condition.
Thus, DE = BF (By CPCT) — (i)
also, ar(ΔDOE) = ar(ΔBOF) (Congruent triangles) — (ii)
Now,
In ΔDEC and ΔBFA,
∠DEC = ∠BFA (Perpendiculars)
CD = AB (Given)
DE = BF (From i)
Therefore,ΔDEC ≅ ΔBFA by RHS congruence condition.
Thus, ar(ΔDEC) = ar(ΔBFA) (Congruent triangles) — (iii)
Adding (ii) and (iii),
ar(ΔDOE) + ar(ΔDEC) = ar(ΔBOF) + ar(ΔBFA)
⇒ ar (DOC) = ar (AOB)

(ii)  ar(ΔDOC) = ar(ΔAOB) 
 ar(ΔDOC) + ar(ΔOCB) = ar(ΔAOB) + ar(ΔOCB)    (Adding ar(ΔOCB) to both sides)  ⇒ ar(ΔDCB) = ar(ΔACB)   (iii)  ar(ΔDCB) = ar(ΔACB) If two triangles are having same base and equal areas, these will be between same parallels DA || BC — (iv) For quadrilateral ABCD, one pair of opposite sides are equal (AB = CD) and other pair of opposite sides are parallel. Therefore, ABCD is parallelogram.

 7. D and E are points on sides AB and AC respectively of  ΔABC such that ar(DBC) = ar(EBC). Prove that DE || BC. 

Answer 
 
ΔDBC and ΔEBC are on the same base BC and also having equal areas. Therefore, they will lie between the same parallel lines. Thus, DE || BC.

8. XY is a line parallel to side BC of a triangle ABC. If BE || AC and CF || AB meet XY at E and F respectively, show that
ar(ΔABE) = ar(ΔAC)

Answer
Given,
XY || BC, BE || AC and CF || AB
To show,
ar(ΔABE) = ar(ΔAC)
Proof:
EY || BC (XY || BC) — (i)
also,
BE∥ CY (BE || AC) — (ii)
From (i) and (ii),
BEYC is a parallelogram. (Both the pairs of opposite sides are parallel.)
Similarly,
BXFC is a parallelogram.
Parallelograms on the same base BC and between the same parallels EF and BC.
 ar(BEYC) = ar(BXFC) (Parallelograms on the same base BC and between the same parallels EF and BC) — (iii)
Also,
△AEB and parallelogram BEYC are on the same base BE and between the same parallels BE and AC.
 ar(△AEB) = 1/2ar(BEYC) — (iv)
Similarly,
△ACF and parallelogram BXFC on the same base CF and between the same parallels CF and AB.
⇒ ar(△ ACF) = 1/2ar(BXFC) — (v)
From (iii), (iv) and (v),
ar(△AEB) = ar(△ACF)

9. The side AB of a parallelogram ABCD is produced to any point P. A line through A and parallel to CP meets CB produced at Q and then parallelogram PBQR is completed (see Fig. 9.26). Show that
ar(ABCD) = ar(PBQR).
[Hint : Join AC and PQ. Now compare ar(ACQ) and ar(APQ).]
Answer
AC and PQ are joined.
ar(△ACQ) = ar(△APQ) (On the same base AQ and between the same parallel lines AQ and CP)
⇒ ar(△ACQ) – ar(△ABQ) = ar(△APQ) – ar(△ABQ)
⇒ ar(△ABC) = ar(△QBP) — (i)
AC and QP are diagonals ABCD and PBQR. Thus,
ar(ABC) = 1/2 ar(ABCD) — (ii)
ar(QBP) = 1/2 ar(PBQR) — (iii)
From (ii) and (ii),
1/2 ar(ABCD) = 1/2 ar(PBQR)
⇒ ar(ABCD) = ar(PBQR)

10. Diagonals AC and BD of a trapezium ABCD with AB || DC intersect each other at O. Prove that ar (AOD) = ar (BOC).

Answer
△DAC and △DBC lie on the same base DC and between the same parallels AB and CD.
∴  ar(△DAC) = ar(△DBC)
⇒ ar(△DAC) − ar(△DOC) = ar(△DBC) − ar(△DOC)
 ar(△AOD) = ar(△BOC)

11. In Fig. 9.27, ABCDE is a pentagon. A line through B parallel to AC meets DC produced at F.
Show that
(i) ar(ACB) = ar(ACF)
(ii) ar(AEDF) = ar(ABCDE)
 
Answer
 
(i) △ACB and △ACF lie on the same base AC and between the same parallels AC and BF.
∴ ar(△ACB) = ar(△ ACF)
 
(ii) ar(△ACB) = ar(△ACF) 
⇒ ar(△ACB) + ar(△ACDE) = ar(△ACF) + ar(△ACDE) 
⇒ ar(ABCDE) = ar(△AEDF)

12. A villager Itwaari has a plot of land of the shape of a quadrilateral. The Gram Panchayat of the village decided to take over some portion of his plot from one of the corners to construct a Health Centre. Itwaari agrees to the above proposal with the condition that he should be given equal amount of land in lieu of his land adjoining his plot so as to form a triangular plot. Explain how this proposal will be implemented.
 
Answer
Let ABCD be the plot of the land of the shape of a quadrilateral.
Construction,
Diagonal BD is joined. AE is drawn parallel BD. BE is joined which intersected AD at O. △BCE is the shape of the original field and △AOB is the area for constructing health centre. Also, △DEO land joined to the plot.
To prove:
ar(△DEO) = ar(△AOB)
Proof:
△DEB and △DAB lie on the same base BD and between the same parallel lines BD and AE.
ar(△DEB) = ar(△DAB)
⇒ ar(△DEB) – ar△DOB) = ar(△DAB) – ar(△DOB) 
⇒ ar(△DEO) = ar(△AOB)
 
13. ABCD is a trapezium with AB || DC. A line parallel to AC intersects AB at X and BC at Y. Prove that ar (ADX) = ar (ACY).
[Hint : Join CX.]
 
Answer
 
Given,
ABCD is a trapezium with AB || DC.
XY || AC
Construction,
CX is joined.
To Prove,
ar(ADX) = ar(ACY)
Proof:
ar(△ADX) = ar(△AXC) — (i) (On the same base AX and between the same parallels AB and CD)
also,
ar(△ AXC)=ar(△ ACY) — (ii) (On the same base AC and between the same parallels XY and AC.)
From (i) and (ii),
ar(△ADX)=ar(△ACY)
 
14. In Fig.9.28, AP || BQ || CR. Prove that
ar(AQC) = ar(PBR).
Answer
 
Given,
AP || BQ || CR
To Prove,
ar(AQC) = ar(PBR)
Proof:
ar(△AQB) = ar(△PBQ) — (i) (On the same base BQ and between the same parallels AP and BQ.)
also,
ar(△BQC) = ar(△BQR) — (ii) (On the same base BQ and between the same parallels BQ and CR.)
Adding (i) and (ii),
ar(△AQB) + ar(△BQC) = ar(△PBQ) + ar(△BQR) 
⇒ ar(△ AQC) = ar(△ PBR)
 
15. Diagonals AC and BD of a quadrilateral ABCD intersect at O in such a way that ar(AOD) = ar(BOC). Prove that ABCD is a trapezium.

Answer
Given,
ar(△AOD) = ar(△BOC)
To Prove,
ABCD is a trapezium.
Proof:
ar(△AOD) = ar(△BOC)
⇒ ar(△AOD) + ar(△AOB) = ar(△BOC) + ar(△AOB) 
⇒ ar(△ADB) = ar(△ACB)
Areas of △ADB and △ACB are equal. Therefore, they must lying between the same parallel lines.
Thus, AB ∥  CD
Therefore, ABCD is a trapezium.
 
16. In Fig.9.29, ar(DRC) = ar(DPC) and ar(BDP) = ar(ARC). Show that both the quadrilaterals ABCD and DCPR are trapeziums.
 
Answer
 
Given,
ar(DRC) = ar(DPC) and ar(BDP) = ar(ARC)
To Prove,
ABCD and DCPR are trapeziums.
Proof:
ar(△BDP) = ar(△ARC)
⇒ ar(△BDP) – ar(△DPC) = ar(△DRC)
⇒ ar(△BDC) = ar(△ADC)
ar(△BDC) = ar(△ADC). Therefore, they must lying between the same parallel lines.
Thus, AB ∥ CD
Therefore, ABCD is a trapezium.
also,
ar(DRC) = ar(DPC). Therefore, they must lying between the same parallel lines.
Thus, DC ∥ PR
Therefore, DCPR is a trapezium.

NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 8 Quadrilaterals

Exercise 8.1

1. The angles of quadrilateral are in the ratio 3 : 5 : 9 : 13. Find all the angles of the quadrilateral.

Answer

Let x be the common ratio between the angles.
Sum of the interior angles of the quadrilateral = 360°
Now,
3x + 5x + 9x + 13x = 360°
⇒ 30x = 360°
⇒ x = 12°
Angles of the quadrilateral are:
3x = 3×12° = 36°
5x = 5×12° = 60°
9x = 9×12° = 108°
13x = 13×12° = 156°

2. If the diagonals of a parallelogram are equal, then show that it is a rectangle.

Answer

Given,
AC = BD
To show,
To show ABCD is a rectangle we have to prove that one of its interior angle is right angled.
Proof,
In ΔABC and ΔBAD,
BC = BA (Common)
AC = AD (Opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal)
AC = BD (Given)
Therefore, ΔABC ≅ ΔBAD by SSS congruence condition.
∠A = ∠B (by CPCT)
also,
∠A + ∠B = 180° (Sum of the angles on the same side of the transversal)
⇒ 2∠A = 180°
⇒ ∠A = 90° = ∠B
Thus ABCD is a rectangle.

3. Show that if the diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other at right angles, then it is a rhombus.

 Answer

Let ABCD be a quadrilateral whose diagonals bisect each other at right angles.
Given,
OA = OC, OB = OD and ∠AOB = ∠BOC = ∠OCD = ∠ODA = 90°
To show,
ABCD is parallelogram and AB = BC = CD = AD
Proof,
In ΔAOB and ΔCOB,
OA = OC (Given)
∠AOB = ∠COB (Opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal)
OB = OB (Common)
Therefore, ΔAOB ≅ ΔCOB by SAS congruence condition.
Thus, AB = BC (by CPCT)
Similarly we can prove,
AB = BC = CD = AD
Opposites sides of a quadrilateral are equal hence ABCD is a parallelogram.
Thus, ABCD is rhombus as it is a parallelogram whose diagonals intersect at right angle.

 


4. Show that the diagonals of a square are equal and bisect each other at right angles.

Answer

Let ABCD be a square and its diagonals AC and BD intersect each other at O.
To show,
 AC = BD, AO = OC and ∠AOB = 90°
Proof,
In ΔABC and ΔBAD,
BC = BA (Common)
∠ABC = ∠BAD = 90°
AC = AD (Given)
Therefore, ΔABC ≅ ΔBAD by SAS congruence condition.
Thus, AC = BD by CPCT. Therefore, diagonals are equal.
Now,
In ΔAOB and ΔCOD,
∠BAO = ∠DCO (Alternate interior angles)
∠AOB = ∠COD (Vertically opposite)
AB = CD (Given)
Therefore, ΔAOB ≅ ΔCOD by AAS congruence condition.
Thus, AO = CO by CPCT. (Diagonal bisect each other.)
Now,
In ΔAOB and ΔCOB,
OB = OB (Given)
AO = CO (diagonals are bisected)
AB = CB (Sides of the square)
Therefore, ΔAOB ≅ ΔCOB by SSS congruence condition.
also, ∠AOB = ∠COB
∠AOB + ∠COB = 180° (Linear pair)
Thus, ∠AOB = ∠COB = 90° (Diagonals bisect each other at right angles)

5. Show that if the diagonals of a quadrilateral are equal and bisect each other at right angles, then it is a square.

Answer


Given,
Let ABCD be a quadrilateral in which diagonals AC and BD bisect each other at right angle at O.
To prove,
Quadrilateral ABCD is a square.
Proof,
In ΔAOB and ΔCOD,
AO = CO (Diagonals bisect each other)
∠AOB = ∠COD (Vertically opposite)
OB = OD (Diagonals bisect each other)
Therefore, ΔAOB ≅ ΔCOD by SAS congruence condition.
Thus, AB = CD by CPCT. — (i)
also,
∠OAB = ∠OCD (Alternate interior angles)
⇒ AB || CD
Now,
In ΔAOD and ΔCOD,
AO = CO (Diagonals bisect each other)
∠AOD = ∠COD (Vertically opposite)
OD = OD (Common)
Therefore, ΔAOD ≅ ΔCOD by SAS congruence condition.
Thus, AD = CD by CPCT. — (ii)
also,
AD = BC and AD = CD
⇒ AD = BC = CD = AB — (ii)
also,  ∠ADC = ∠BCD  by CPCT.
and ∠ADC + ∠BCD = 180° (co-interior angles)
⇒ 2∠ADC = 180°
⇒ ∠ADC = 90° — (iii)
One of the interior ang is right angle.
Thus, from (i), (ii) and (iii) given quadrilateral ABCD is a square.

6. Diagonal AC of a parallelogram ABCD bisects ∠A (see Fig. 8.19). Show that
(i) it bisects ∠C also,
(ii) ABCD is a rhombus.

Answer

(i)
In ΔADC and ΔCBA,
AD = CB (Opposite sides of a ||gm)
DC = BA (Opposite sides of a ||gm)
AC = CA (Common)
Therefore, ΔADC ≅ ΔCBA by SSS congruence condition.
Thus,
∠ACD = ∠CAB by CPCT
and ∠CAB = ∠CAD (Given)
⇒ ∠ACD = ∠BCA
Thus, AC bisects ∠C also.

(ii) ∠ACD = ∠CAD (Proved)
⇒ AD = CD (Opposite sides of equal angles of a triangle are equal)
Also, AB = BC = CD = DA (Opposite sides of a ||gm)
Thus, ABCD is a rhombus.

7. ABCD is a rhombus. Show that diagonal AC bisects ∠A as well as ∠C and diagonal BD bisects ∠B as well as ∠D.

Answer

Let ABCD is a rhombus and AC and BD are its diagonals.
Proof,
AD = CD (Sides of a rhombus)
∠DAC = ∠DCA (Angles opposite of equal sides of a triangle are equal.)
also, AB || CD
⇒ ∠DAC = ∠BCA (Alternate interior angles)
⇒ ∠DCA = ∠BCA
Therefore, AC bisects ∠C.
Similarly, we can prove that diagonal AC bisects ∠A.

Also, by preceding above method we can prove that diagonal BD bisects ∠B as well as ∠D.


8. ABCD is a rectangle in which diagonal AC bisects ∠A as well as ∠C. Show that:
(i) ABCD is a square
(ii) diagonal BD bisects ∠B as well as ∠D.

Answer

(i)∠DAC = ∠DCA (AC bisects ∠A as well as ∠C)
⇒ AD = CD (Sides opposite to equal angles of a triangle are equal)
also, CD = AB (Opposite sides of a rectangle)
Therefore, AB = BC = CD = AD
Thus, ABCD is a square.

(ii) In ΔBCD,
BC = CD
⇒ ∠CDB = ∠CBD (Angles opposite to equal sides are equal)
also, ∠CDB = ∠ABD (Alternate interior angles)
⇒ ∠CBD = ∠ABD
Thus, BD bisects ∠B
Now,
∠CBD = ∠ADB
⇒ ∠CDB = ∠ADB
Thus, BD bisects ∠D

9. In parallelogram ABCD, two points P and Q are taken on diagonal BD such that DP = BQ (see Fig. 8.20). Show that:
(i) ΔAPD ≅ ΔCQB
(ii) AP = CQ
(iii) ΔAQB ≅ ΔCPD

(v) APCQ is a parallelogram



Answer

(i) In ΔAPD and ΔCQB,
DP = BQ (Given)
∠ADP = ∠CBQ (Alternate interior angles)
AD = BC (Opposite sides of a ||gm)
Thus, ΔAPD ≅ ΔCQB by SAS congruence condition.

(ii) AP = CQ by CPCT as ΔAPD ≅ ΔCQB.

(iii) In ΔAQB and ΔCPD,
BQ = DP (Given)
∠ABQ = ∠CDP (Alternate interior angles)
AB = BCCD (Opposite sides of a ||gm)
Thus, ΔAQB ≅ ΔCPD by SAS congruence condition.

(iv) AQ = CP by CPCT as ΔAQB ≅ ΔCPD.

(v) From (ii)  and (iv), it is clear that APCQ has equal opposite sides also it has equal opposite angles. Thus, APCQ is a ||gm.

 

10. ABCD is a parallelogram and AP and CQ are perpendiculars from vertices A and C on diagonal BD (see Fig. 8.21). Show that
(i) ΔAPB ≅ ΔCQD
(ii) AP = CQ

Answer

(i) In ΔAPB and ΔCQD,
∠ABP = ∠CDQ (Alternate interior angles)
∠APB = ∠CQD (equal to right angles as AP and CQ are perpendiculars)
AB = CD (ABCD is a parallelogram)
Thus, ΔAPB ≅ ΔCQD by AAS congruence condition.

(ii) AP = CQ by CPCT as ΔAPB ≅ ΔCQD.

 

11. In ΔABC and ΔDEF, AB = DE, AB || DE, BC = EF and BC || EF. Vertices A, B and C are joined to vertices D, E and F respectively (see Fig. 8.22).
Show that
(i) quadrilateral ABED is a parallelogram
(ii) quadrilateral BEFC is a parallelogram
(iii) AD || CF and AD = CF
(iv) quadrilateral ACFD is a parallelogram
(v) AC = DF
(vi) ΔABC ≅ ΔDEF.

Answer

(i) AB = DE and AB || DE (Given)
Thus, quadrilateral ABED is a parallelogram because two opposite sides of a quadrilateral are equal and parallel to each other.
(ii) Again BC = EF and BC || EF.
Thus, quadrilateral BEFC is a parallelogram.
 
(iii)  Since ABED and BEFC are parallelograms.
⇒ AD = BE and BE = CF (Opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal)
Thus, AD = CF.
Also, AD || BE and BE || CF (Opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel)
Thus, AD || CF

(iv) AD and CF are opposite sides of quadrilateral ACFD which are equal and parallel to each other. Thus, it is a parallelogram.
 

(v) AC || DF and AC = DF because ACFD is a parallelogram.
 
(vi) In ΔABC and ΔDEF,
AB = DE (Given)
BC = EF (Given)
AC = DF (Opposite sides of a parallelogram)
Thus, ΔABC ≅ ΔDEF by SSS congruence condition.

(i) ∠A = ∠B
(ii) ∠C = ∠D
(iii) ΔABC ≅ ΔBAD

Answer

Construction: Draw a line through C parallel to DA intersecting AB produced at E.
(i) CE = AD (Opposite sides of a parallelogram)
AD = BC (Given)
Therefor, BC = CE
⇒ ∠CBE = ∠CEB
also,
∠A + ∠CBE = 180° (Angles on the same side of transversal and ∠CBE = ∠CEB)
∠B + ∠CBE = 180° (Linear pair)
⇒ ∠A = ∠B

(ii) ∠A + ∠D = ∠B + ∠C = 180° (Angles on the same side of transversal)
⇒ ∠A + ∠D = ∠A + ∠C (∠A = ∠B)
⇒ ∠D = ∠C

(iii) In ΔABC and ΔBAD,
AB = AB (Common)
∠DBA = ∠CBA
AD = BC (Given)
Thus, ΔABC ≅ ΔBAD by SAS congruence condition.

(iv) Diagonal AC = diagonal BD by CPCT as ΔABC ≅ ΔBA.

Exercise 8.2

1. ABCD is a quadrilateral in which P, Q, R and S are mid-points of the sides AB, BC, CD and DA (see Fig 8.29). AC is a diagonal. Show that :
(i) SR || AC and SR = 1/2 AC
(ii) PQ = SR
(iii) PQRS is a parallelogram.
 
Answer

(i) In ΔDAC,
R is the mid point of DC and S is the mid point of DA.
Thus by mid point theorem, SR || AC and SR = 1/2 AC

(ii) In ΔBAC,
P is the mid point of AB and Q is the mid point of BC.
Thus by mid point theorem, PQ || AC and PQ = 1/2 AC
also, SR = 1/2 AC
Thus, PQ = SR

(iii) SR || AC – from (i)
and, PQ || AC – from (ii)
⇒ SR || PQ – from (i) and (ii)
also, PQ = SR
Thus, PQRS is a parallelogram.

2. ABCD is a rhombus and P, Q, R and S are the mid-points of the sides AB, BC, CD and DA respectively. Show that the quadrilateral PQRS is a rectangle.

Answer
Given,
ABCD is a rhombus and P, Q, R and S are the mid-points of the sides AB, BC, CD and DA respectively.
To Prove,
PQRS is a rectangle.
Construction,
AC and BD are joined.
Proof,
In ΔDRS and ΔBPQ,
DS = BQ (Halves of the opposite sides of the rhombus)
∠SDR = ∠QBP (Opposite angles of the rhombus)
DR = BP (Halves of the opposite sides of the rhombus)
Thus, ΔDRS ≅ ΔBPQ by SAS congruence condition.
RS = PQ by CPCT — (i)
In ΔQCR and ΔSAP,
RC = PA (Halves of the opposite sides of the rhombus)
∠RCQ = ∠PAS (Opposite angles of the rhombus)
CQ = AS (Halves of the opposite sides of the rhombus)
Thus, ΔQCR ≅ ΔSAP by SAS congruence condition.
RQ = SP by CPCT — (ii)
Now,
In ΔCDB,
R and Q are the mid points of CD and BC respectively.
⇒ QR || BD 
also,
P and S are the mid points of AD and AB respectively.
⇒ PS || BD
⇒ QR || PS
Thus, PQRS is a parallelogram.
also, ∠PQR = 90°
Now,
In PQRS,
RS = PQ and RQ = SP from (i) and (ii)
∠Q = 90°
Thus, PQRS is a rectangle.

3. ABCD is a rectangle and P, Q, R and S are mid-points of the sides AB, BC, CD and DA respectively. Show that the quadrilateral PQRS is a rhombus.

Answer
Given,
ABCD is a rectangle and P, Q, R and S are mid-points of the sides AB, BC, CD and DA respectively.
Construction,
AC and BD are joined.
To Prove,
PQRS is a rhombus.
Proof,
In ΔABC
P and Q are the mid-points of AB and BC respectively
Thus, PQ || AC and PQ = 1/2 AC (Mid point theorem) — (i)
In ΔADC,
SR || AC and SR = 1/2 AC (Mid point theorem) — (ii)
So, PQ || SR and PQ = SR
As in quadrilateral PQRS one pair of opposite sides is equal and parallel to each other, so, it is a parallelogram.
PS || QR and PS = QR (Opposite sides of parallelogram) — (iii)
Now,
In ΔBCD,
Q and R are mid points of side BC and CD respectively.
Thus, QR || BD and QR = 1/2 BD (Mid point theorem) — (iv)
AC = BD (Diagonals of a rectangle are equal) — (v)
From equations (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v),
PQ = QR = SR = PS
So, PQRS is a rhombus.

4. ABCD is a trapezium in which AB || DC, BD is a diagonal and E is the mid-point of AD. A line is drawn through E parallel to AB intersecting BC at F (see Fig. 8.30). Show that F is the mid-point of BC.

Answer

Given,
ABCD is a trapezium in which AB || DC, BD is a diagonal and E is the mid-point of AD.
To prove,
F is the mid-point of BC.
Proof,
BD intersected EF at G.
In ΔBAD,
E is the mid point of AD and also EG || AB.
Thus, G is the mid point of BD (Converse of mid point theorem)
Now,
In ΔBDC,
G is the mid point of BD and also GF || AB || DC.
Thus, F is the mid point of BC (Converse of mid point theorem)

Page No: 151

5. In a parallelogram ABCD, E and F are the mid-points of sides AB and CD respectively (see Fig. 8.31). Show that the line segments AF and EC trisect the diagonal BD.
Answer

Given,
ABCD is a parallelogram. E and F are the mid-points of sides AB and CD respectively.
To show,
AF and EC trisect the diagonal BD.
Proof,
ABCD is a parallelogram
Therefor, AB || CD
also, AE || FC
Now,
AB = CD (Opposite sides of parallelogram ABCD)
⇒ 1/2 AB = 1/2 CD
⇒ AE = FC (E and F are midpoints of side AB and CD)
AECF is a parallelogram (AE and CF are parallel and equal to each other)
AF || EC (Opposite sides of a parallelogram)
Now,
In ΔDQC,
F is mid point of side DC and FP || CQ (as AF || EC).
P is the mid-point of DQ (Converse of mid-point theorem)
⇒ DP = PQ — (i)
Similarly,
In APB,
E is mid point of side AB and EQ || AP (as AF || EC).
Q is the mid-point of PB (Converse of mid-point theorem)
⇒ PQ = QB — (ii)
From equations (i) and (i),
DP = PQ = BQ
Hence, the line segments AF and EC trisect the diagonal BD.

6. Show that the line segments joining the mid-points of the opposite sides of a quadrilateral bisect each other.

Answer
Let ABCD be a quadrilateral and P, Q, R and S are the mid points of AB, BC, CD and DA respectively.
Now,
In ΔACD,
R and S are the mid points of CD and DA respectively.
Thus, SR || AC.
Similarly we can show that,
PQ || AC
PS || BD
QR || BD
Thus, PQRS is parallelogram.
PR and QS are the diagonals of the parallelogram PQRS. So, they will bisect each other.

7. ABC is a triangle right angled at C. A line through the mid-point M of hypotenuse AB and parallel to BC intersects AC at D. Show that
(i) D is the mid-point of AC
(ii) MD ⊥ AC
(iii) CM = MA = 1/2 AB

Answer

(i) In ΔACB,
M is the mid point of AB and MD || BC
Thus, D is the mid point of AC (Converse of mid point theorem)

(ii) ∠ACB = ∠ADM (Corresponding angles)
also, ∠ACB = 90°
Thus, ∠ADM = 90° and MD ⊥ AC

(iii)  In ΔAMD and ΔCMD,
AD = CD (D is the midpoint of side AC)
∠ADM = ∠CDM (Each 90°)
DM = DM (common)
Thus, ΔAMD ≅ ΔCMD by SAS congruence condition.
AM = CM by CPCT
also, AM =  1/2 AB (M is mid point of AB)
Hence, CM = MA =  1/2 AB

In ΔAEB and ΔAFC,
∠A = ∠A (Common)
∠AEB = ∠AFC (Right angles)
AB = AC (Given)
Therefore, ΔAEB ≅ ΔAFC by AAS congruence condition.
Thus, BE = CF by CPCT.

4. ABC is a triangle in which altitudes BE and CF to sides AC and AB are equal (see Fig. 7.32). Show that
(i) ΔABE ≅ ΔACF
(ii) AB = AC, i.e., ABC is an isosceles triangle.


Answer

Given,
BE = CF

(i) In ΔABE and ΔACF,
∠A = ∠A (Common)
∠AEB = ∠AFC (Right angles)
BE = CF (Given)
Therefore, ΔABE ≅ ΔACF by AAS congruence condition.

(ii) Thus, AB = AC by CPCT and therefore ABC is an isosceles triangle.


5. ABC and DBC are two isosceles triangles on the same base BC (see Fig. 7.33). Show that ∠ABD = ∠ACD.


Answer

Given,
ABC and DBC are two isosceles triangles.
To show,
∠ABD = ∠ACD
Proof,
In ΔABD and ΔACD,
AD = AD (Common)
AB = AC (ABC is an isosceles triangle.)
BD = CD (BCD is an isosceles triangle.)
Therefore, ΔABD ≅ ΔACD by SSS congruence condition. Thus, ∠ABD = ∠ACD by CPCT.

6. ΔABC is an isosceles triangle in which AB = AC. Side BA is produced to D such that AD = AB (see Fig. 7.34). Show that ∠BCD is a right angle.

Answer

Given,
AB = AC and AD = AB
To show,
∠BCD is a right angle.
Proof,
In ΔABC,
AB = AC (Given)
⇒ ∠ACB = ∠ABC (Angles opposite to the equal sides are equal.)
In ΔACD,
AD = AB
⇒ ∠ADC = ∠ACD (Angles opposite to the equal sides are equal.)
Now,
In ΔABC,
∠CAB + ∠ACB + ∠ABC = 180°
⇒ ∠CAB + 2∠ACB = 180°
⇒ ∠CAB = 180° – 2∠ACB — (i)
Similarly in ΔADC,
∠CAD = 180° – 2∠ACD — (ii)
also,
∠CAB + ∠CAD = 180° (BD is a straight line.)
Adding (i) and (ii)
∠CAB + ∠CAD = 180° – 2∠ACB + 180° – 2∠ACD
⇒ 180° = 360° – 2∠ACB – 2∠ACD
⇒ 2(∠ACB + ∠ACD) = 180°
⇒ ∠BCD = 90°

7. ABC is a right angled triangle in which ∠A = 90° and AB = AC. Find ∠B and ∠C.

Answer

Given,
∠A = 90° and AB = AC
A/q,
AB = AC
⇒ ∠B = ∠C (Angles opposite to the equal sides are equal.)
Now,
∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180° (Sum of the interior angles of the triangle.)
⇒ 90° + 2∠B = 180°
⇒ 2∠B = 90°
⇒ ∠B = 45°
Thus, ∠B = ∠C = 45°

8. Show that the angles of an equilateral triangle are 60° each.

Answer

Let ABC be an equilateral triangle.
BC = AC = AB (Length of all sides is same)
⇒ ∠A = ∠B = ∠C (Sides opposite to the equal angles are equal.)
Also,
∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
⇒ 3∠A = 180°
⇒ ∠A = 60°
Therefore, ∠A = ∠B = ∠C = 60°
Thus, the angles of an equilateral triangle are 60° each.

Exercise 7.3

1. ΔABC and ΔDBC are two isosceles triangles on the same base BC and vertices A and D are on the same side of BC (see Fig. 7.39). If AD is extended to intersect BC at P, show that
(i) ΔABD ≅ ΔACD
(ii) ΔABP ≅ ΔACP
(iii) AP bisects ∠A as well as ∠D.
(iv) AP is the perpendicular bisector of BC.

Answer

Given,
ΔABC and ΔDBC are two isosceles triangles.

(i) In ΔABD and ΔACD,
AD = AD (Common)
AB = AC (ΔABC is isosceles)
BD = CD (ΔDBC is isosceles)
Therefore, ΔABD ≅ ΔACD by SSS congruence condition.

(ii) In ΔABP and ΔACP,
AP = AP (Common)
∠PAB = ∠PAC (ΔABD ≅ ΔACD so by CPCT)
AB = AC (ΔABC is isosceles)
Therefore, ΔABP ≅ ΔACP by SAS congruence condition.

(iii) ∠PAB = ∠PAC by CPCT as ΔABD ≅ ΔACD.
AP bisects ∠A. — (i)
also,
In ΔBPD and ΔCPD,
PD = PD (Common)
BD = CD (ΔDBC is isosceles.)
BP = CP (ΔABP ≅ ΔACP so by CPCT.)
Therefore, ΔBPD ≅ ΔCPD by SSS congruence condition.
Thus, ∠BDP = ∠CDP by CPCT. — (ii)
By (i) and (ii) we can say that AP bisects ∠A as well as ∠D.

(iv) ∠BPD = ∠CPD (by CPCT as ΔBPD ≅ ΔCPD)
and BP = CP — (i)
also,
∠BPD + ∠CPD = 180° (BC is a straight line.)
⇒ 2∠BPD = 180°
⇒ ∠BPD = 90° —(ii)
From (i) and (ii),
AP is the perpendicular bisector of BC.

2. AD is an altitude of an isosceles triangle ABC in which AB = AC. Show that
(i) AD bisects BC                      (ii) AD bisects ∠A.

Answer
 
 
Given,
AD is an altitude and AB = AC
 
(i) In ΔABD and ΔACD,
∠ADB = ∠ADC = 90°
 AB = AC (Given)
AD = AD (Common)
Therefore, ΔABD ≅ ΔACD by RHS congruence condition.
Now,
BD = CD (by CPCT)
Thus, AD bisects BC

(ii) ∠BAD = ∠CAD (by CPCT)
Thus, AD bisects ∠A.

3. Two sides AB and BC and median AM of one triangle ABC are respectively equal to sides PQ and QR and median PN of ΔPQR (see Fig. 7.40). Show that:
(i) ΔABM ≅ ΔPQN
(ii) ΔABC ≅ ΔPQR
Answer

Given,
AB = PQ, BC = QR and AM = PN

(i) 1/2 BC = BM and 1/2QR = QN (AM and PN are medians)
also,
BC = QR
⇒ 1/2 BC = 1/2QR
⇒ BM = QN
In ΔABM and ΔPQN,
AM = PN (Given)
AB = PQ (Given)
BM = QN (Proved above)
Therefore, ΔABM ≅ ΔPQN by SSS congruence condition.

(ii) In ΔABC and ΔPQR,
AB = PQ (Given)
∠ABC = ∠PQR (by CPCT)
BC = QR (Given)

Therefore, ΔABC ≅ ΔPQR by SAS congruence condition.

4. BE and CF are two equal altitudes of a triangle ABC. Using RHS congruence rule, prove that the triangle ABC is isosceles.

Answer
 
Given,
BE and CF are two equal altitudes.
In ΔBEC and ΔCFB,
∠BEC = ∠CFB = 90° (Altitudes)
 BC = CB (Common)
BE = CF (Common)
Therefore, ΔBEC ≅ ΔCFB by RHS congruence condition.
Now,
∠C = ∠B (by CPCT)
Thus, AB = AC as sides opposite to the equal angles are equal.

5. ABC is an isosceles triangle with AB = AC. Draw AP ⊥ BC to show that ∠B = ∠C.

Answer
Given,
AB = AC
In ΔABP and ΔACP,
∠APB = ∠APC = 90° (AP is altitude)
AB = AC (Given)
AP = AP (Common)
Therefore, ΔABP ≅ ΔACP by RHS congruence condition.
Thus, ∠B = ∠C (by CPCT)

Exercise 7.4

1. Show that in a right angled triangle, the hypotenuse is the longest side.

Answer

ABC is a triangle right angled at B.
Now,
∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
⇒ ∠A + ∠C = 90° and ∠B is 90°.
Since, B is the largest angle of the triangle, the side opposite to it must be the largest.
So, BC is the hypotenuse which is the largest side of the right angled triangle ABC.

 

2. In Fig. 7.48, sides AB and AC of ΔABC are extended to points P and Q respectively. Also, ∠PBC < ∠QCB. Show that AC > AB.

Answer

Given,
∠PBC < ∠QCB
Now,
∠ABC + ∠PBC = 180°
⇒ ∠ABC = 180° – ∠PBC
also,
∠ACB + ∠QCB = 180°
⇒ ∠ACB = 180° – ∠QCB
Since,
∠PBC < ∠QCB therefore, ∠ABC > ∠ACB
Thus, AC > AB as sides opposite to the larger angle is larger.

3. In Fig. 7.49, ∠B < ∠A and ∠C < ∠D. Show that AD < BC.

Answer

Given,
∠B < ∠A and ∠C < ∠D
Now,
AO <  BO — (i) (Side opposite to the smaller angle is smaller)
OD < OC —(ii) (Side opposite to the smaller angle is smaller)
Adding (i) and (ii)
AO + OD < BO + OC
⇒ AD < BC

4. AB and CD are respectively the smallest and longest sides of a quadrilateral ABCD (see Fig. 7.50).
Show that ∠A > ∠C and ∠B > ∠D.




Answer


In ΔABD,
AB < AD < BD
∴ ∠ADB < ∠ABD — (i) (Angle opposite to longer side is larger.)
Now,
In ΔBCD,
BC < DC < BD
∴ ∠BDC < ∠CBD — (ii)
Adding (i) and (ii) we get,
∠ADB + ∠BDC < ∠ABD + ∠CBD
⇒ ∠ADC < ∠ABC
⇒ ∠B > ∠D
Similarly,
In ΔABC,
∠ACB < ∠BAC — (iii) (Angle opposite to longer side is larger.)
Now,
In ΔADC,
∠DCA < ∠DAC — (iv)
Adding (iii) and (iv) we get,
∠ACB + ∠DCA < ∠BAC + ∠DAC
⇒ ∠BCD < ∠BAD
⇒ ∠A > ∠C

5. In Fig 7.51, PR > PQ and PS bisects ∠QPR. Prove that ∠PSR > ∠PSQ.

Answer

Given,
PR > PQ and PS bisects ∠QPR
To prove,
∠PSR > ∠PSQ
Proof,
∠PQR > ∠PRQ — (i) (PR > PQ as angle opposite to larger side is larger.)
∠QPS = ∠RPS — (ii) (PS bisects ∠QPR)
∠PSR = ∠PQR + ∠QPS — (iii) (exterior angle of a triangle equals to the sum of opposite interior angles)
∠PSQ = ∠PRQ + ∠RPS — (iv) (exterior angle of a triangle equals to the sum of opposite interior angles)
Adding (i) and (ii)
∠PQR + ∠QPS > ∠PRQ + ∠RPS
⇒ ∠PSR > ∠PSQ [from (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv)]

6. Show that of all line segments drawn from a given point not on it, the perpendicular line segment is the shortest.

Answer

Let l is a line segment and B is a point lying o it. We drew a line AB perpendicular to l. Let C be any other point on l.
To prove,
AB < AC
Proof,
In ΔABC,
∠B = 90°
Now,
∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
⇒ ∠A + ∠C = 90°
∴ ∠C must be acute angle. or ∠C < ∠B
⇒ AB < AC (Side opposite to the larger angle is larger.)

1. In Fig. 6.13, lines AB and CD intersect at O. If ∠AOC + ∠BOE = 70° and ∠BOD = 40°, find ∠BOE and reflex ∠COE.


Answer
Given,
∠AOC + ∠BOE = 70° and ∠BOD = 40°
A/q,
∠AOC + ∠BOE +∠COE = 180° (Forms a straight line)
⇒ 70° +∠COE = 180°
⇒ ∠COE = 110°
also,
∠COE +∠BOD + ∠BOE = 180° (Forms a straight line)
⇒ 110° +40° + ∠BOE = 180°
⇒ 150° + ∠BOE = 180°
⇒ ∠BOE = 30°

2. In Fig. 6.14, lines XY and MN intersect at O. If ∠POY = 90° and a : b = 2 : 3, find c.


Answer

Given,
∠POY = 90° and a : b = 2 : 3
A/q,
∠POY + a + b = 180°
⇒ 90° + a + b = 180°
⇒ a + b = 90°
Let a be 2x then will be 3x
2x + 3x = 90°
⇒ 5x = 90°
⇒ x = 18°
∴ a = 2×18° = 36°
and b = 3×18° = 54°
also,
b + c = 180° (Linear Pair)
⇒ 54° + c = 180°
⇒ c = 126°

3. In Fig. 6.15, ∠PQR = ∠PRQ, then prove that ∠PQS = ∠PRT.


Answer

Given,
∠PQR = ∠PRQ
To prove,
∠PQS = ∠PRT
A/q,
∠PQR +∠PQS = 180° (Linear Pair)
⇒ ∠PQS = 180° – ∠PQR — (i)
also,
∠PRQ +∠PRT = 180° (Linear Pair)
⇒ ∠PRT = 180° – ∠PRQ
⇒ ∠PRQ = 180° – ∠PQR — (ii) (∠PQR = ∠PRQ)
From (i) and (ii)
∠PQS = ∠PRT = 180° – ∠PQR
Therefore,  ∠PQS = ∠PRT

4. In Fig. 6.16, if x + y = w + z, then prove that AOB is a line.

Answer

Given,
x + y = w + z
To Prove,
AOB is a line or x + y = 180° (linear pair.)
A/q,
x + y + w + z = 360° (Angles around a point.)
⇒ (x + y) +  (w + z) = 360°
⇒ (x + y) +  (x + y) = 360° (Given x + y = w + z)
⇒ 2(x + y) = 360°
⇒ (x + y) = 180°
Hence, x + y makes a linear pair. Therefore, AOB is a staright line.

5. In Fig. 6.17, POQ is a line. Ray OR is perpendicular to line PQ. OS is another ray lying between rays OP and OR. Prove that ∠ROS = 1/2(∠QOS – ∠POS).

Answer

Given,
OR is perpendicular to line PQ
To prove,
∠ROS = 1/2(∠QOS – ∠POS)
A/q,
∠POR = ∠ROQ = 90° (Perpendicular)
∠QOS = ∠ROQ + ∠ROS = 90° + ∠ROS — (i)
∠POS = ∠POR – ∠ROS = 90° – ∠ROS — (ii)
Subtracting (ii) from (i)
∠QOS – ∠POS = 90° + ∠ROS – (90° – ∠ROS)
⇒ ∠QOS – ∠POS = 90° + ∠ROS – 90° + ∠ROS
⇒ ∠QOS – ∠POS = 2∠ROS
⇒ ∠ROS = 1/2(∠QOS – ∠POS)
Hence, Proved.

6. It is given that ∠XYZ = 64° and XY is produced to point P. Draw a figure from the given information. If ray YQ bisects ∠ZYP, find ∠XYQ and reflex ∠QYP.

Answer

Given,
∠XYZ = 64°
YQ bisects ∠ZYP

∠XYZ +∠ZYP = 180° (Linear Pair)
⇒ 64° +∠ZYP = 180°
⇒ ∠ZYP = 116°
also, ∠ZYP = ∠ZYQ + ∠QYP
∠ZYQ = ∠QYP (YQ bisects ∠ZYP)
⇒ ∠ZYP = 2∠ZYQ
⇒ 2∠ZYQ = 116°
⇒ ∠ZYQ = 58° = ∠QYP
Now,
∠XYQ = ∠XYZ + ∠ZYQ
⇒ ∠XYQ = 64° + 58°
⇒ ∠XYQ = 122°
also,
reflex ∠QYP = 180° + ∠XYQ
∠QYP = 180° + 122°
⇒ ∠QYP = 302°

Answer

x + 50° = 180° (Linear pair)
⇒ x = 130°
also,
y = 130° (Vertically opposite)
Now,

Alternate interior angles are equal.
Therefore, AB || CD.

Page No: 104

2. In Fig. 6.29, if AB || CD, CD || EF and y : z = 3 : 7, find x.



 

Answer

Given,
AB || CD and CD || EF
y : z = 3 : 7
Now,
x + y = 180° (Angles on the same side of transversal.)
also,
∠O = z (Corresponding angles)
and, y + ∠O = 180° (Linear pair)
⇒ y + z = 180°
A/q,
y = 3w and z = 7w
3w + 7w = 180°
⇒ 10 w = 180°
⇒ w = 18°
∴ y = 3×18° = 54°
and, z = 7×18° = 126°
Now,
x + y = 180°
⇒ x + 54° = 180°
⇒ x = 126°

3. In Fig. 6.30, if AB || CD, EF ⊥ CD and ∠GED = 126°, find ∠AGE, ∠GEF and ∠FGE.


Answer

Given,
AB || CD
EF ⊥ CD
∠GED = 126°
A/q,
∠FED = 90° (EF ⊥ CD)
Now,
∠AGE = ∠GED (Since, AB || CD and GE is transversal. Alternate interior angles.)
∴ ∠AGE = 126°
Also, ∠GEF = ∠GED – ∠FED
⇒ ∠GEF = 126° – 90°
⇒ ∠GEF = 36°
Now,
∠FGE +∠AGE = 180° (Linear pair)
⇒ ∠FGE = 180° – 126°
⇒ ∠FGE = 54°

4. In Fig. 6.31, if PQ || ST, ∠PQR = 110° and ∠RST = 130°, find ∠QRS.
[Hint : Draw a line parallel to ST through point R.]

 
 Answer
 
Given,
PQ || ST, ∠PQR = 110° and ∠RST = 130°
Construction,
A line XY parallel to PQ and ST is drawn.

∠PQR + ∠QRX = 180° (Angles on the same side of transversal.)
⇒ 110° + ∠QRX = 180°
⇒ ∠QRX = 70°
Also,
∠RST + ∠SRY = 180° (Angles on the same side of transversal.)
⇒ 130° + ∠SRY = 180°
⇒ ∠SRY = 50°
Now,
∠QRX +∠SRY + ∠QRS = 180°
⇒ 70° + 50° + ∠QRS = 180°
⇒ ∠QRS = 60°

5. In Fig. 6.32, if AB || CD, ∠APQ = 50° and ∠PRD = 127°, find x and y.

 Answer

Given,
AB || CD, ∠APQ = 50° and ∠PRD = 127°
A/q,
x = 50° (Alternate interior angles.)
∠PRD + ∠RPB = 180° (Angles on the same side of transversal.)
⇒ 127° + ∠RPB = 180°
⇒ ∠RPB = 53°
Now,
y + 50° + ∠RPB = 180° (AB is a straight line.)
⇒ y + 50° + 53° = 180°
⇒ y + 103° = 180°
⇒ y = 77°

6. In Fig. 6.33, PQ and RS are two mirrors placed parallel to each other. An incident ray AB strikes the mirror PQ at B, the reflected ray moves along the path BC and strikes the mirror RS at C and again reflects back along CD. Prove that AB || CD.

 
Answer
Let us draw BE ⟂ PQ and CF ⟂ RS.

 As PQ || RS
So, BE || CF

By laws of reflection we know that,
Angle of incidence = Angle of reflection
Thus, ∠1 = ∠2 and ∠3 = ∠4  — (i)
also, ∠2 = ∠3     (alternate interior angles because BE || CF and a transversal line BC cuts them at B and C)    — (ii)

From (i) and (ii),

∠1 + ∠2 = ∠3 + ∠4

⇒ ∠ABC = ∠DCB

⇒ AB || CD      (alternate interior angles are equal)

⇒ ∠QPR = 45°
also,
 
∠PQT +∠PQR = 180° (TR is a straight line.)
⇒ 110° +∠PQR = 180°
⇒ ∠PQR = 70°
Now,
∠PQR +∠QPR + ∠PRQ = 180° (Sum of the interior angles of the triangle.)
⇒ 70° + 45° + ∠PRQ = 180°
⇒ 115° + ∠PRQ = 180°
⇒ ∠PRQ = 65°

2. In Fig. 6.40, ∠X = 62°, ∠XYZ = 54°. If YO and ZO are the bisectors of ∠XYZ and ∠XZY respectively of Δ XYZ, find ∠OZY and ∠YOZ.

YO and ZO are the bisectors of ∠XYZ and ∠XZY respectively.
A/q,
∠X +∠XYZ + ∠XZY = 180° (Sum of the interior angles of the triangle.)
⇒ 62° + 54° + ∠XZY = 180°
⇒ 116° + ∠XZY = 180°
⇒ ∠XZY = 64°
Now,
∠OZY = 1/2∠XZY (ZO is the bisector.)
⇒ ∠OZY = 32°
also,
∠OYZ = 1/2∠XYZ (YO is the bisector.)
⇒ ∠OYZ = 27°
Now,
∠OZY +∠OYZ + ∠O = 180° (Sum of the interior angles of the triangle.)

Now,
∠DCE +∠CED + ∠CDE = 180° (Sum of the interior angles of the triangle.)
⇒ ∠DCE + 35° + 53° = 180°
⇒ ∠DCE + 88° = 180°
⇒ ∠DCE = 92°

⇒ 135° + ∠PTR = 180°
⇒ ∠PTR = 45°
∠PTR = ∠STQ = 45° (Vertically opposite angles.)
Now,
∠TSQ +∠PTR + ∠SQT = 180° (Sum of the interior angles of the triangle.)
⇒ 75° + 45° + ∠SQT = 180°

⇒ x = 37°
also,
∠QSR = x
⇒ ∠QSR = 37°
also,
∠QRS +∠QRT = 180° (Linea pair)

⇒ ∠QRS = 115°
Now,
∠P + ∠Q+ ∠R +∠S = 360° (Sum of the angles in a quadrilateral.)
⇒ 90° + 65° + 115° + ∠S = 360°
⇒ 270° + y + ∠QSR = 360°
⇒ 270° + y + 37° = 360°
⇒ 307° + y = 360°
⇒ y = 53°

6. In Fig. 6.44, the side QR of ΔPQR is produced to a point S. If the bisectors of ∠PQR and ∠PRS meet at point T, then prove that ∠QTR = 1/2∠QPR.

Answer

Given,
Bisectors of ∠PQR and ∠PRS meet at point T.
To prove,
∠QTR = 1/2∠QPR.
Proof,
∠TRS = ∠TQR +∠QTR (Exterior angle of a triangle equals to the sum of the two interior angles.)
⇒ ∠QTR = ∠TRS – ∠TQR — (i)
also,
∠SRP = ∠QPR + ∠PQR
⇒ 2∠TRS = ∠QPR + 2∠TQR
⇒ ∠QPR =  2∠TRS – 2∠TQR
⇒ 1/2∠QPR =  ∠TRS – ∠TQR — (ii)
Equating (i) and (ii)
∠QTR – ∠TQR = 1/2∠QPR
Hence proved.

Exercise 5.1

1. Which of the following statements are true and which are false? Give reasons for your
answers.
(i) Only one line can pass through a single point.
(ii) There are an infinite number of lines which pass through two distinct points.
(iii) A terminated line can be produced indefinitely on both the sides.
(iv) If two circles are equal, then their radii are equal.
(v) In Fig. 5.9, if AB = PQ and PQ = XY, then AB = XY.


Answer

(i) False. There can be infinite line drawn passing through a single point.

(ii) False. Only one line can be drawn which passes through two distinct points.

(iii) True. A terminated line can be produced indefinitely on both the sides.
In geometry, a line can be extended in both direction. A line means infinite long length.

(iv) True. If two circles are equal, then their radii are equal.
By superposition, we will find that the centre and circumference of the both circles coincide. Hence, their radius must be equal.

(v) True. By Euclid’s first axiom things which are equal to the same thing, are equal to one another.

 

2. Give a definition for each of the following terms. Are there other terms that need to be defined first? What are they, and how might you define them?
(i) parallel lines                 (ii) perpendicular lines                (iii) line segment  
(iv) radius of a circle         (v) square

Answer

Yes, other terms need to be defined first which are:
Plane: A plane is flat surface on which geometric figures are drawn.
Point: A point is a dot drawn on a plane surface and is dimensionless.
Line: A line is collection of points which can extends in both direction and has only length not breadth.

(i) Parallel lines: When two or more never intersect each other in a plane and perpendicular distance between them is always constant then they are said to be parallel lines.

(ii) Perpendicular lines: When two lines intersect each other at right angle in a plane then they are said to be perpendicular to each other.

(iii) Line segment: A line segment is a part of a line with two end points and cannot be extended further.

(iv) Radius of circle: The fixed distance between the centre and the circumference of the circle is called the radius of the circle.

(v) Square: A square is a quadrilateral in which all the four sides are equal and each internal angle is a right angle.

3. Consider two ‘postulates’ given below:
(i) Given any two distinct points A and B, there exists a third point C which is in between A and B.
(ii) There exist at least three points that are not on the same line.
Do these postulates contain any undefined terms? Are these postulates consistent? Do they follow from Euclid’s postulates? Explain.

Answer

Undefined terms in the postulates:
→ Many points lie in a plane. But here it is not given about the position of the point C whether it lies on the line segment joining AB or not.
→ Also, there is no information about the plane whether the points are in same plane or not.
Yes, these postulates are consistent when we deal with these two situation:
(i) Point C is lying in between and on the line segment joining A and B.
(ii) Point C not lies on the line segment joining A and B.

No, they don’t follow from Euclid’s postulates. They follow the axioms.

Page No: 86

4. If a point C lies between two points A and B such that AC = BC, then prove that AC = 1/2 AB. Explain by drawing the figure.

Answer

Here, AC = BC
Now, adding AC both sides.
AC + AC = BC + AC
also, BC +AC  = AB (as it coincides with line segment AB)
∴ 2 AC = AB (If equals are added to equals, the wholes are equal.)
⇒ AC = 1/2 AB.

5. In Question 4, point C is called a mid-point of line segment AB. Prove that every line segment has one and only one mid-point.

Answer
 

Let A and B be the line segment and points P and Q be two different mid points of AB.
Now,
∴ P and Q are midpoints of AB.
Therefore AP=PB and also AQ = QB.
also, PB + AP = AB (as it coincides with line segment AB)
Similarly, QB + AQ = AB.
Now,
AP + AP = PB + AP (If equals are added to equals, the wholes are equal.)
⇒ 2 AP = AB — (i)
Similarly, 
2 AQ = AB — (ii)
From (i) and (ii)
2 AP  = 2 AQ (Things which are equal to the same thing are equal to one another.)
⇒ AP = AQ (Things which are double of the same things are equal to one another.)
Thus, P and Q are the same points. This contradicts the fact that P and Q are two different mid points of AB. Thus, it is proved hat every line segment has one and only one mid-point.

6. In Fig. 5.10, if AC = BD, then prove that AB = CD.

 
Answer

Given, AC = BD
From the figure,
AC = AB + BC
BD = BC + CD   
⇒ AB + BC = BC + CD
According to Euclid’s axiom, when equals are subtracted from equals, remainders are also equal.
Subtracting BC both sides,
AB + BC – BC = BC + CD – BC
AB = CD

7. Why is Axiom 5, in the list of Euclid’s axioms, considered a ‘universal truth’? (Note that the question is not about the fifth postulate.)

Answer

Axiom 5 : The whole is always greater than the part.
Take an example of a cake. When it is whole it will measures 2 pound but when we took out a part from it and measures its weigh it will came out lower than the previous one. So, the fifth axiom of Euclid is true for all the universal things. That is why it is considered a ‘universal truth’.

https://youtu.be/VuFtU6PVj9U

Exercise 5.2

1. How would you rewrite Euclid’s fifth postulate so that it would be easier to understand?

Answer

The fifth postulates is about parallel lines.
When two or more never intersect each other in a plane and perpendicular distance between them is always constant then they are said to be parallel lines.
Two facts of the postulates:
(i) If P doesn’t lie on l then we can draw a line through P which will be parallel to the line l.
(ii) There will be only one line can be drawn through P which is parallel to the line l.

2. Does Euclid’s fifth postulate imply the existence of parallel lines? Explain.

Answer

Yes, Euclid’s fifth postulate imply the existence of parallel lines.
If the sum of the interior angles will be equal to sum of the two right angles then two lines will not meet each other on either sides and therefore they will be parallel to each other.




m and n will be parallel if
∠1 + ∠3 = 180°
Or  ∠3 + ∠4 = 180°

Exercise 4.1

1. The cost of a notebook is twice the cost of a pen. Write a linear equation in two variables to represent this statement.
(Take the cost of a notebook to be x and that of a pen to be y).

Answer

Let the cost of pen be y and the cost of notebook be x.
A/q,
Cost  of a notebook = twice the pen = 2y.
2y = x
⇒ x – 2y = 0
This is a linear equation in two variables to represent this statement.

2. Express the following linear equations in the form ax + by + c = 0 and indicate the values of a, b and c in each case:

(i) 2x + 3y = 9.35               (ii) x – y/5 – 10 = 0                  (iii) -2x + 3y = 6                (iv) x = 3y


(v) 2x = -5y                        (vi) 3x + 2 = 0                        (vii) y – 2 = 0                     (viii) 5 = 2x

Answer

(i) 2x + 3y = 9.35
⇒ 2x + 3y – 9.35 = 0
On comparing this equation with ax + by + c = 0, we get
a = 2x, b = 3 and c = -9.35

(ii) x – y/5 – 10 = 0
On comparing this equation with ax + by + c = 0, we get
a = 1, b = -1/5 and c = -10


(iii) -2x + 3y = 6
⇒ -2x + 3y – 6 = 0
On comparing this equation with ax + by + c = 0, we get
a = -2, b = 3 and c = -6

(iv) x = 3y
⇒ x – 3y = 0
On comparing this equation with ax + by + c = 0, we get
a = 1, b = -3 and c = 0

(v) 2x = -5y
⇒ 2x + 5y = 0
On comparing this equation with ax + by + c = 0, we get
a = 2, b = 5 and c = 0

(vi) 3x + 2 = 0
⇒ 3x + 0y + 2 = 0
On comparing this equation with ax + by + c = 0, we get
a = 3, b = 0 and c = 2

(vii) y – 2 = 0
⇒ 0x + y – 2 = 0
On comparing this equation with ax + by + c = 0, we get
a = 0, b = 1 and c = -2

(viii) 5 = 2x
⇒ -2x + 0y + 5 = 0
On comparing this equation with ax + by + c = 0, we get
a = -2, b = 0 and c = 5

Exercise 4.2

1. Which one of the following options is true, and why?
y = 3x + 5 has
(i) a unique solution,               (ii) only two solutions,             (iii) infinitely many solutions

Answer

Since the equation, y = 3x + 5 is a linear equation in two variables. It will have (iii) infinitely many solutions.

2. Write four solutions for each of the following equations:

    (i) 2x + y = 7             (ii) πx + y = 9                (iii) x = 4y

Answer

(i) 2x + y = 7
⇒ y = 7 – 2x
→ Put x = 0,
y = 7 – 2 × 0 ⇒ y = 7
(0, 7) is the solution.
→ Now, put x = 1
y = 7 – 2 × 1 ⇒ y = 5
(1, 5) is the solution.
→ Now, put x = 2
y = 7 – 2 × 2 ⇒ y = 3
(2, 3) is the solution.
→ Now, put x = -1
y = 7 – 2 × -1 ⇒ y = 9
(-1, 9) is the solution.
The four solutions of the equation 2x + y = 7 are (0, 7), (1, 5), (2, 3) and (-1, 9).

(ii) πx + y = 9
⇒ y = 9 – πx
→ Put x = 0,
y = 9 – π×0 ⇒ y = 9
(0, 9) is the solution.
→ Now, put x = 1
y = 9 – π×1 ⇒ y = 9-π
(1, 9-π) is the solution.
→ Now, put x = 2
y = 9 – π×2 ⇒ y = 9-2π
(2, 9-2π) is the solution.
→ Now, put x = -1
y = 9 – π× -1 ⇒ y = 9+π
(-1, 9+π) is the solution.
The four solutions of the equation πx + y = 9 are (0, 9), (1, 9-π), (2, 9-2π) and (-1, 9+π).

(iii) x = 4y
→ Put x = 0,
0 = 4y ⇒ y = 0
(0, 0) is the solution.
→ Now, put x = 1
1 = 4y ⇒ y = 1/4
(1, 1/4) is the solution.
→ Now, put x = 4
4 = 4y ⇒ y = 1
(4, 1) is the solution.
→ Now, put x = 8
8 = 4y ⇒ y = 2
(8, 2) is the solution.
The four solutions of the equation πx + y = 9 are (0, 0), (1, 1/4), (4, 1) and (8, 2).

3. Check which of the following are solutions of the equation x – 2y = 4 and which are not:

Answer

(i) Put x = 0 and y = 2 in the equation x – 2y = 4.
0 – 2×2 = 4
⇒ -4 ≠ 4
∴ (0, 2) is not a solution of the given equation.

(ii) Put x = 2 and y = 0 in the equation x – 2y = 4.
2 – 2×0 = 4
⇒ 2 ≠ 4
∴ (2, 0) is not a solution of the given equation.

(iii) Put x = 4 and y = 0 in the equation x – 2y = 4.
4 – 2×0 = 4
⇒ 4 = 4
∴ (4, 0) is a solution of the given equation.

(iv) Put x = √2 and y = 4√2 in the equation x – 2y = 4.
√2 – 2×4√2 = 4 ⇒ √2 – 8√2 = 4 ⇒ √2(1 – 8) = 4
⇒ -7√2  ≠ 4
∴ (√2, 4√2) is not a solution of the given equation.

(v) Put x = 1 and y = 1 in the equation x – 2y = 4.
1 – 2×1 = 4
⇒ -1 ≠ 4
∴ (1, 1) is not a solution of the given equation.

4. Find the value of k, if x = 2, y = 1 is a solution of the equation 2x + 3y = k.

Answer

Given equation = 2x + 3y = k
x = 2, y = 1 is the solution of the given equation.

   (i) x + y = 4                  (ii) x – y = 2               (iii) y = 3x              (iv) 3 = 2x + y

Answer

(i) x + y = 4
Put x = 0 then y = 4
Put x = 4 then y = 0
x04
         y                4               0        


(ii) x – y = 2
Put x = 0 then y = -2
Put x = 2 then y = 0
      x      0     2

      y            3            1     


2. Give the equations of two lines passing through (2, 14). How many more such lines are there, and why?

Answer

Here, x = 2 and y =14.
Thus, x + y = 1
also, y = 7x ⇒ y – 7x = 0
∴ The equations of two lines passing through (2, 14) are
x + y = 1 and y – 7x = 0.
There will be infinite such lines because infinite number of lines can pass through a given point.

3. If the point (3, 4) lies on the graph of the equation 3y = ax + 7, find the value of a.

Answer

The point (3, 4) lies on the graph of the equation.
∴ Putting x = 3 and y = 4 in the equation 3y = ax + 7, we get
3×4 = a×3 + 7
⇒ 12 = 3a + 7
⇒ 3a = 12 – 7
⇒ a = 5/3

4. The taxi fare in a city is as follows: For the first kilometre, the fare is Rs 8 and for the subsequent distance it is Rs 5 per km. Taking the distance covered as x km and total fare as Rs y, write a linear equation for this information, and draw its graph.

Total fare = y
Total distance covered = x
Fair for the subsequent distance after 1st kilometre = Rs 5
Fair for 1st kilometre = Rs 8
A/q

   (iv) 2 + 3y = 7x                     (iv) x + 2y = 6

Answer

In fig. 4.6, Points are (0, 0), (-1, 1) and (1, -1).
∴ Equation (ii) x + y = 0 is correct as it satisfies all the value of the points.

In fig. 4.7, Points are (-1, 3), (0, 2) and (2, 0).
∴ Equation (iii) y = –x + 2 is correct as it satisfies all the value of the points.

8. In countries like USA and Canada, temperature is measured in Fahrenheit, whereas in countries like India, it is measured in Celsius. Here is a linear equation that converts Fahrenheit to Celsius:
                                           F = (9/5)C + 32
(i) Draw the graph of the linear equation above using Celsius for x-axis and Fahrenheit for y-axis.
(ii) If the temperature is 30°C, what is the temperature in Fahrenheit?
(iii) If the temperature is 95°F, what is the temperature in Celsius?
(iv) If the temperature is 0°C, what is the temperature in Fahrenheit and if the temperature is 0°F, what is the temperature in Celsius?
(v) Is there a temperature which is numerically the same in both Fahrenheit and Celsius? If yes, find it.
 
Answer
 
(i) F = (9/5)C + 32
When C = 0 then F = 32
also, when C = -10 then F = 14

C0-10 
        F              32          14      


(ii) Putting the value of C = 30 in F = (9/5)C + 32, we get
F = (9/5)×30  + 32
⇒ F = 54 + 32
⇒ F = 86

(iii) Putting the value of F = 95 in F = (9/5)C + 32, we get
95 = (9/5)C  + 32
⇒ (9/5)C = 95 – 32
⇒ C = 63 × 5/9
⇒ C = 35

(iv) Putting the value of F = 0 in F = (9/5)C + 32, we get
0 = (9/5)C  + 32
⇒ (9/5)C = -32
⇒ C = -32 × 5/9
⇒ C = -160/9

Putting the value of C = 0 in F = (9/5)C + 32, we get
F = (9/5)× 0  + 32
⇒ F = 32

(v) Here, we have to find when F = C.
Therefore, Putting F = C in F = (9/5)C + 32, we get
F = (9/5)F + 32
⇒ F – 9/5 F = 32
⇒ -4/5 F = 32
⇒ F = -40
Therefore at -40, both Fahrenheit and Celsius numerically the same.
