Exercise 7.2
Q1. In an isosceles triangle ABC, with AB=AC, the bisectors of ∠B and ∠C intersect each other at O. Join A to O. Show that :
i) OB=OC ii) AO bisects ∠A
i) In △ABCm
AB=AC [Given]
∠ABC=∠ACB [Angles opposite to equal sides]
∠OBC=∠OCB [OB and OC bisect ∠B and ∠C]
OB=OC [Sides opposite to equal angles]
Proved.
ii) In △AOB and △AOC
AB=AC [Given]
OB=OC [Proved in (i)]
OA=OA [Common]
△AOB=△AOC [By SSS rule]
∠OAB=∠OAC [CPCT]
So that, OA bisect ∠A.
Proved.
Q2. In △ABC, AD is the perpendicular bisector of BC (see figure). Show that △ABC is an isosceles triangle in which AB=AC.
In △ADB and △ADC
AD=AD [Common]
∠ADB=∠ADC=90∘ [Given AD⊥BC]
BD=CD [Given AD bisect BC at D]
△ADB≅△ADC [By SAS rule]
AB=AC [CPCT]
Proved.
Q3. ABC is an isosceles triangle in which altitudes BE and CF are drawn to equal sides AC and AB respectively (see figure). Show that these altitudes are equal.
In △ABE and △ACF
∠BAE=∠CAF [Common]
∠AEB=∠AFC=90∘ [Given BE⊥AC and CF⊥AB]
AB=AC [Given]
△ABE≅△ACF [By AAS rule]
BE=CF [CPCT]
So that, altitudes are equal.
Proved.
Q4. ABC is a triangle in which altitudes BE and CF to sides AC and AB are equal (see figure). Show that
i) △ABE≅△ACF
ii) AB=AC, i.e. ABC is an isosceles triangle.
i) △ABE and ACF
∠BAE=∠CAF [Common]
∠BEA=∠CFA [BE⊥AC and CF⊥AB]
BE=CF [Given]
△ABE≅△ACF [By AAS rule]
ii) △ABE≅△ACF [Proved in (i)]
AB=AC [CPCT]
So that,ABC is an isosceles triangle.
Proved.
Q5. ABC and DBC are two isosceles triangles on the same base BC (see figure). Show that ∠ABC=∠ACD.
In an isosceles △ABC
AB=AC [Given]
∠CBA=∠BCA_______(1)
[angles opposite to equal sides]
In an isosceles △DBC
DB=DC [Given]
∠CBD=∠BCD_______(2)
[angles opposite to equal sides]
We add equation (1) and (2)
∠CBA+∠CBD=∠BCA+∠BCD
∠ABD=∠ACD
Proved.
Q6. △ABC is an isosceles triangle in which AB=AC. Side BA is produced to D such that AD=AB (see figure). Show that ∠BCD is a right angle.
In △ABC,
AB=AC
∠ABC=∠ACB________(1)
[Angles oppostie to equal sides]
AB=AD and AB=AC [Given]
AD=AC
∠ADC=∠ACD________(2)
[Angles opposite to equal sides]
We add equation (1) and (2)
∠ABC+∠ADC=∠ACB+∠ACD
∠DBC+∠BDC=∠BCD_____(3)
By angle sum property of △
∠DBC+∠BDC+∠BCD=180∘
∠BCD+∠BCD=180∘[from equation (3)]
2∠BCD=180∘
∠BDC=180∘2
∠BDC=90∘
So that ∠BDC is a right angle.
Proved.
Q7. ABC is a right angled triangle in which ∠A=90∘ and AB=AC. Find ∠B and ∠C.
Sol. :
AB=AC [Given]
∠B=∠C_______(1)
[Angles opposite to equal sides]
By angle sum property of △
∠A+∠B+∠C=180∘
90∘+∠B+∠B=180∘
2∠B=180∘-90∘
∠B=90∘2
∠B=45∘
So that,
Answer.
∠B=∠C=45∘
Q8. Show that the angles of an equilateral triangle are 60∘ each.
Sol. :
By angle sum property of △
x∘+x∘+x∘=180∘
3x∘=180∘
x∘=180∘3
x∘=60∘
So that, angles of an equilateral triangle is equal to 60∘ each.
Proved.
