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
Sol. :
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.
Sol. :
In ADB and ADC
AD=AD [Common]
ADB=ADC=90 [Given ADBC]
BD=CD [Given AD bisect BC at D]
ADBADC [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.
Sol. :
In ABE and ACF
BAE=CAF [Common]
AEB=AFC=90 [Given BEAC and CFAB]
AB=AC [Given]
ABEACF  [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) ABEACF
ii) AB=AC, i.e. ABC is an isosceles triangle.
Sol. :
i) ABE and ACF
BAE=CAF [Common]
BEA=CFA [BEAC and CFAB]
BE=CF [Given]
ABEACF [By AAS rule]
ii) ABEACF [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.
Sol. :
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.
Sol. :
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)]
2BCD=180
BDC=1802
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. :
In ABC,
AB=AC [Given]
B=C_______(1) 
[Angles opposite to equal sides]
By angle sum property of
A+B+C=180
90+B+B=180
2B=180-90
B=902
B=45
So that,
Answer. 
B=C=45

Q8. Show that the angles of an equilateral triangle are 60 each.
Sol. :
Let each angle of an equilateral triangle is x.
By angle sum property of
x+x+x=180
3x=180
x=1803
x=60
So that, angles of an equilateral triangle is equal to 60 each.
Proved.
