∠PSQ = ∠SPR + ∠PRS
70° = x + 25°
x = 70° - 25°
x = 45°

A. 40°
B. 80°
C. 120°
D. 60°
Exterior angle is equal to sum of opposite interior angles

∴ 3rd side must be greater than 2cm
And
Sum of 2 sides of triangle is always greater than 3rd side of triangle
Sum = 9cm + 7cm = 16cm
∴ 3rd side must be smaller than 16cm

Base angle are equal is isosceles triangle
Alternate angles are equal if lines are parallel
Exterior angle is equal to sum opposite interior angles
In ΔPQR
∠UPR is exterior angle
∴ ∠UPR = ∠Q + ∠R
As ΔQPR is isosceles triangle because PQ = PR
Hence;
∠Q = ∠R
140° = ∠Q + ∠R
2∠Q = 140°
∠Q = = 70°
As ΔQRS is isosceles triangle because QR = RS
∴ ∠Q = ∠QSR
∠QSR = 70°
Then;
∠Q + ∠QSR + ∠SRQ = 180°
70° + 70° + ∠SRQ = 180°
∠SRQ = 180° - 140° = 40°
As ST || QR

90° = 50° + ∠CAD
∠CAD = 90° - 50° = 40°
In Δ ADC
∠ADC = 90° ∵ AD is perpendicular to BC
∠ADC + ∠CAD + ∠ACD = 180°
90° + 40° + ∠ACD = 180°
130° + ∠ACD = 180°
∠ACD = 180° - 130° = 50°

∴ if one angle of triangle is 110°
Then sum of other 2 angles is 180° -110° = 70°
If the bisector of both angles are made…
Then both angled get halved
If both angled get halved then their sum will also get halved
= 35°
∴ it forms a new triangle if the bisectors are joined
Though sum of bisected angles will be half of sum of angle of triangle
∴ the 3rd angle will be
180° - 35°
= 145°
In ∆ABC, AD is the bisector of ∠A meeting BC at D, CF ⊥ AB and E is the mid-point of AC. Then median of the triangle is

In ∆ABC and ∆DCB
∠B = ∠C (Both 70° )
∠ACB = ∠DCB (Both 30° )
BC = BC (common)
∆ABC ≅ ∆DCB
⇒ Hence; both triangles are congruent by ASA congruence
If ∆ABC ≅ ∆DCB then;
If triangles are congruent then all 3 sides of triangle are equal to all 3 sides of other triangle
BC = BC
⇒ AB = DC
⇒ AC = DB

(i) Is ∆QSR ≅ ∆RTQ? Give reasons.
(ii) Is ∠PQR = ∠PRQ? Give reasons.

Formula Used/Theory:-
⇒ If hypotenuse and 1 sides of Right angled triangle are equal in both the triangles then both triangles are congruent by RHS congruence criterion
In ∆QSR and ∆RTQ
As ∆QSR, ∆RTQ both are right angle triangle
Right angled at ∠QSR and ∠RTQ
QR = QR (Hypotenuse)
QS = TR (Given)
∆QSR ≅ ∆RTQ
Hence; both triangles are congruent by RHS criterion
If ∆QSR ≅ ∆RTQ then;
All 3 angles of one triangle will be equal to all 3 angles of another triangles
⇒ ∠Q = ∠R
∠QTR = ∠QSR
∠SQR = ∠QRT
Points A and B are on the opposite edges of a pond as shown in Fig. 6.56. To find the distance between the two points, the surveyor makes a right-angled triangle as shown. Find the distance AB.
In the given triangle
AC as distance of pound
AC2 = 302 + 402
AC2 = 900 + 1600
AC2 = 2500
AC = √2500
= 50m
AC = AB + BC
50m = AB + 12m
AB = 38m
Two poles of 10 m and 15 m stand upright on a plane ground. If the distance between the tops is 13 m, find the distance between their feet.
Given:
Two poles of 10 m and 15 m
Distance between the tops is 13 m
Formula Used/Theory:-
Pythagoras theorem:-
Base2 + Height2 = Hypotenuse2
Difference between height of poles(Height) = 15m-10m = 5m
Distance between their tops is (Hypotenuse) = 13m
Distance by which poles are separated(Base)
Base2 + Height2 = Hypotenuse2
Base2 + 52 = 132
Base2 + 25 = 169
Base2 = 169-25 = 144
Base = √144 = 12m
Hence; poles are separated by 12m
Result:- poles are separated by 12m
The foot of a ladder is 6 m away from its wall and its top reaches a window 8 m above the ground, (a) Find the length of the ladder. (b) If the ladder is shifted in such a way that its foot is 8 m away from the wall, to what height does its top reach?
Given: Height of window = 8m
Distance of ladder to wall = 6m
Formula Used/Theory:-
Pythagoras theorem:-
Base2 + Height2 = Hypotenuse2
Height of ladder (Hypotenuse)
Height of wall (Height) = 8m
Distance of wall and foot of ladder = 6m
Base2 + Height2 = Hypotenuse2
62 + 82 = Hypotenuse2
Hypotenuse2 = 36 + 64 = 100
Hypotenuse = √100 = 10m
(i) Height of ladder is 10m
(ii) If ladder is shifted 8m from wall
Then;
Base = 8m
Height of ladder will remain constant(Hypotenuse) = 10m
Distance of wall till ladder reach(Height)
Base2 + Height2 = Hypotenuse2
82 + Height2 = 102
Height2 + 64 = 100
Height2 = 100-64 = 36
Height = √36 = 6m
Ladder reach 6m above the ground
In Fig. 6.57, state the three pairs of equal parts in ∆ABC and ∆EOD. Is ∆ABC ≅ ∆EOD? Why?
Formula Used/Theory:-
⇒ If hypotenuse and 1 sides of Right angled triangle are equal in both the triangles then both triangles are congruent by RHS congruence criterion
In ∆ABC and ∆EOD
As ∆ABC, ∆EOD both are right angled triangle
Right angled at ∠ABC and ∠EOD
∠B = ∠O = 90°
AC = DE (Hypotenuse Given)
AB = EO (Given)
∆ABC ≅ ∆EOD
Hence; both triangles are congruent by RHS criterion
