Solution 1

(i)In ABC, DE || BC, AD = 3.6 cm, AB = 10 cm, AE = 4.5 cm

 

Hence, AC = 12.5 cm and EC = 8cm

 

      (ii)In ABC, DE || BC, AB = 13.3 cm, AC = 11.9 cm and EC = 5.1 cm

 

Hence, AD = 7.7 cm

 

(iii)In ABC, DE || BC, AC = 6.6 cm,

 Hence, AE = 2.4 cm

 

(iv)In ABC, DE || BC, Given

 

 

Hence AE = 4 cm

Solution 2

(i)D and E are points on the sides AB and AC respectively of a ABC such that DE || BC, AD = x cm, DB = (x - 2) cm,

                AE = (x + 2) cm, EC = (x - 1) cm

                      

                Hence, x = 4

 

(ii)In ABC, DE || BC, AD = 4 cm, DB = (x - 4) cm, AE = 8 cm, EC = (3x - 19) cm

 

 Hence, x = 11

 

(iii)In ABC, DE || BC, AD = (7x - 4) cm, AE = (5x - 2) cm, DB = (3x + 4)cm, EC = 3x cm

                               

                          

Solution 3

Given: A ABC in which D and E are points on the sides AB and AC respectively.

To prove: DE ||BC

Proof:

(i)AD = 5.7 cm, DB = 9.5 cm, AE = 4.8 cm and EC = 8 cm

    Since D and E are the points on AB and AC respectively.

    AD over DB equals fraction numerator 5.7 over denominator 9.5 end fraction equals 0.6
AE over EC equals fraction numerator 4.8 over denominator 8 end fraction equals 0.6
therefore AD over DB equals AE over EC

    Hence, by the converse of Thales theorem DE || BC

 

(ii)AB = 11.7 cm, AC = 11.2 cm, BD = 6.5 cm, AE = 4.2 cm

    Since D and E are points on AB and AC respectively.

AD over DB equals fraction numerator AB minus DB over denominator DB end fraction equals fraction numerator 11.7 minus 6.5 over denominator 6.5 end fraction equals fraction numerator 5.2 over denominator 6.5 end fraction
AE over EC equals fraction numerator AE over denominator AC minus AE end fraction equals fraction numerator 4.2 over denominator 11.2 minus 4.2 end fraction equals fraction numerator 4.2 over denominator 7 end fraction
therefore AD over DB not equal to AE over EC

Hence, by the converse of Thales theorem DE is not parallel to BC.

 

           (iii) AB = 10.8 cm, AD = 6.3 cm, AC = 9.6 cm, EC = 4 cm

                Since D and E are the points on AB and AC respectively.

              AD over DB equals fraction numerator AD over denominator AB minus AD end fraction equals fraction numerator 6.3 over denominator 10.8 minus 6.3 end fraction equals fraction numerator 6.3 over denominator 4.5 end fraction equals 1.4
AE over EC equals fraction numerator AC minus EC over denominator EC end fraction equals fraction numerator 9.6 minus 4 over denominator 4 end fraction equals fraction numerator 5.6 over denominator 4 end fraction equals 1.4
therefore AD over DB equals AE over EC                    

Hence by the converse of Thales theorem DE || BC


(iv)AD = 7.2 cm, AE = 6.4 cm, AB = 12 cm, AC = 10 cm

     Since D and E are points on the side AB and AC respectively.

   AD over DB equals fraction numerator AD over denominator AB minus AD end fraction equals fraction numerator 7.2 over denominator 12 minus 7.2 end fraction equals fraction numerator 7.2 over denominator 4.8 end fraction equals 3 over 2
AE over EC equals fraction numerator AE over denominator AC minus AE end fraction equals fraction numerator 6.4 over denominator 10 minus 6.4 end fraction equals fraction numerator 3.4 over denominator 3.6 end fraction equals 16 over 9
therefore AD over DB not equal to AE over EC

Hence, by the converse of Thales theorem DB is not parallel to BC

Solution 4

(i) AB = 6.4 cm, AC = 8 cm, BD = 5.6 cm

            Let BC = x

Now, DC = (BC - BD)

            = (x - 5.6) cm

In ABC, AD is the base for of A

So, by the angle bisector theorem, We have

 

Hence, BC = 12.6 cm and DC = (12.6 - 5.6) cm = 7 cm

 

(ii)  AB = 10 cm, AC = 14 cm, BC = 6cm

     
Let BD = x,

DC = (BC - BD) = (6 - x) cm

In ABC, AD is the bisector of ??A

So, By angle bisector theorem,

 

Hence, BD = 2.5 cm and DC = (6 - 2.5) cm = 3.5 cm


 

(iii)AB = 5.6 cm, BD = 3.2 cm and BC = 6 cm

     DC = BC - BD = (6 - 3.2) cm = 2.8 cm

Let AC = x,

In ABC, AD is the bisector of A

So, by the angle bisector theorem we have

Hence, AC = 4.9 cm

 

(iv)AB = 5.6 cm, AC = 4 cm, DC = 3 cm

Let BD = x,

In ABC, AD is the bisector of A

So, by the angle bisector theorem, we have

Hence, BD = 4.2 cm

So BC = BD + AC = (4.2 + 3) cm

BC = 7.2 cm

Solution 5

Solution 6

Let ABCD be the trapezium and let E and F be the midpoints of AD and BC respectively.

Hence, in ACD, Q and R the points in AC and CD such that

QR || AD(by the converse of Thales theorem)

Hence proved.

Solution 10

Given BD = CD and OD = DX

Join BX and CX

Thus, the diagonals of quad OBXC bisect each other

OBXC is a parallelogram

BX || CF and so, OF || BX

 

Similarly, CX || OE

In ABX, OF || BX

Solution 11

Given: ABCD is a parallelogram in which P is the midpoint of DC and Q is a point on AC such that. PQ produced meets BC at R.

To prove: R is the midpoint of BC

Construction: Join BD

Proof: Since the diagonals of a || gm bisect each other at S such that

Q is the midpoint of CS

So, PQ || DS.

Therefore, QR || SB.

 

In CSB, Q is the midpoint of CS and QR || SB.

So R is the midpoint of BC.

Solution 12

Given: ABC is a triangle in which AB = AC. D and E are points on AB and AC respectively such that AD = AE

To prove: The points B, C, E and D are concyclic.

Proof: AB = AC (given)

         AD = AE (given)

Quad BCEA is cyclic

Hence, the point B, C, E, D are concyclic

Solution 2

                              

ODC ~ OBC

BOC = 115o

CDO = 70o


(i) DOC = (180o - BOC)

               = (180o - 115o)

               = 65o

(ii)       OCD = 180o - CDO - DOC

            OCD = 180o - (70o + 65o)

                    = 45o

(iii) Now, ABO ~ ODC

       AOB = COD (vert. Opp s) = 65o

       OAB = OCD = 45o

(iv)  OBA = ODC(alternate angles) = 70o

      So, OAB = 45o and OBA = 70o

ADE = B                             (given)

Therefore, ADE ABC        (AA Criterion)

Hence, DE = 2.8 cm

Solution 5

ABC and PQR are similar triangles, therefore corresponding sides of both the triangles are proportional.

 

Hence, AB = 16 cm

Solution 6

Given that AB = 5.7 cm, BD = 3.8 cm and CD = 5.4 cm

In CBA and CDB

CBA = CDB = 90o

C = C (Common)

Therefore, CBA CDB (by AA similarities)

Hence, BC = 8.1 cm

Solution 9

                  

 

Given that BD = 8 cm, AD = 4 cm

 

In DBA and DCB, we have

BDA = CDB = 90o 

  DBA = DCB                                  [each = 90o - A]

DBA DCB (by AAA similarity)

 

Hence, CD = 16 cm

Solution 10

              

Given: P is a point on AB.

Then, AB = AP + PB = (2 + 4) cm = 6 cm

 

Also Q is a point on AC.

Then, AC = AQ + QC = (3 + 6) cm = 9 cm

 

 

Thus, in APQ and ABC
