In  ΔACD and ΔABD

∠CAD=∠BAD (AX bisects them)

AD=AD

∠CDA=∠BDA (AX bisects them)

ΔACD≅ΔABD (by using ASA)

Question 2

In the figure, ABC is a triangle with BD and CE perpendicular to AC and AB respectively, such that BD = CE. Prove that ΔBCD≅ΔCBE





Sol :

In ΔBCD and ΔCBE

∠BEC=∠BDC (each 90°)

BD=CE (given)

BC=BC (common side)

Using RHS Congruency criteria ΔBCD≅ΔCBE

Question 3

In the given figure, AB = AC and D , E and F are the mid-points of sides AB, BC and AC respectively. Prove that ΔDBE≅ΔFCE.





Sol :

AB=AC

also, D and E are mid points which divides them in equal parts

AD=DB=AF=FC...(i)

also, F mid-point divides BC in equal half

In ΔDEB and ΔFCE

DB=FC [from (i)]

BE=EC (E is mid-point)

DE=FE [distance between mid-points]

ΔDBE≅ΔFCE

Question 4

In the given figure, O is the mid-point of PQ, PS||RQ. Prove that ΔPOS≅ΔROQ and hence prove that SO=OR





Sol :

PS||RQ  ∠POQ=∠SOR , SR transversal

In ΔPOS and ΔROQ

∠POS=∠ROQ (Vertically Opposite angle)

PO=OQ (O mid-point divides PQ in equal half)

∠PSO=∠ROQ (alt. interior angle)

ΔPOS≅ΔROQ (Using ASA)

SO=OR (by C.P.C.T)

Question 5

In the given figure , ABC is an isosceles triangle with AB=AC , BD and CE are two medians of the triangle. Prove that BD = CE





[Hint: BD and CE are medians →D and E are mid-points of AC and AB respectively .
Therefore, AB=AC→$\dfrac{1}{2}$AB=AC→ BE=CD]

Sol :

AB=AC, BD=CE are 2 medians.

Hence, E is the mid-point of AB and D is the mid point of CE

Hence $\frac{1}{2}AB=\frac{1}{2}AC$

BE=CD

In ΔBEC and ΔCDB

BE=CD (given)

∠EBC=∠DCB (angles opposite to equal sides AB and AC)

BC=CB (common)

So, ΔBEC≅ΔCDB (SAS)

BD=CE (by C.P.C.T)

Hence , BD=CE

Question 6

In the given f‌igure, it is given that AB=CF. EF = BD and ∠AFE = ∠DBC. Prove that ΔAFEΔCBD.





Sol :

We have CF=AB (Given)

∴AB+BF=CF+BF [Adding BF on both sides of the given figure]

∴AF=CB....(i)

In ΔAFE and ΔCBD we have 

CB=AF (from (i))

∠AFE=∠DBC (given)

EF = BD  (given)

∴ΔAFE≅ΔCBD (SAS congruency)

Hence proved

Question 7

In the given figure, LM = MN , QM = MR , ML⟂PQ and MN⟂PR . Prove that PQ = PR.





[Hint: Prove ∠Q=∠R and apply isosceles delta property]

Sol :

Given : A triangle PQR where LM=LN; QM=MR; ML⟂PQ; MN⟂PR

To prove : PQ=PR

In ΔLMQ and ΔNMR

LM=MN (given)

QM=MR (given)

∠MLQ=∠MNR=90°

∴ΔLMQ≅ΔNMR (by RHS congruency rule)

∠Q=∠R (by C.P.C.T)

In ΔPQR

∠Q=∠R (proved)

PQ=PR (sides opposite to equal angles are equal)

Hence proved



Q8 | Ex-17D | Class 8| S.Chand | Composite maths | Triangles | Chapter - 17 |myhelper

Question 8

In the given figure, the sides BA and CA have been produced such that BA = AD and CA = AE. Prove that DE||BC.





Sol :

Given : In ΔABC, sides BA and CA are produced such that BA=AD and CA=AE, ED is joined.

To prove : DE||BC

Proof : In ΔBAC and ΔDAE

BA=DA (given)

CA=EA (given)

∠BAC=∠DAE (vertically opposite angles)

∴ΔBAC≅ΔDAE (SAS axiom)

∴∠ABC=∠ADE (by C.P.C.T)

But these are alternate angles

∴DE||BC

Hence proved

Question 9

In the given figure, prove that perpendicular AD drawn to the base BC of an isosceles triangle ABC from the vertex A bisects BC, i.e., BD = DC






Sol :

Given : In ΔABC

AB=AC, AD⟂BC

To prove : AD bisects BC at D i.e. BD=DC

Proof : In right ΔABD and ΔACD

Hypotenuse AB=AC (given)

Side AD=AD (common)

∴ΔABD≅ΔACD (RHS axiom)

∴BD=DC

Hence AD bisects BC at D



Q10 | Ex-17D | Class 8| S.Chand | Composite maths | Triangles | Chapter - 17 |myhelper

Question 10

In a ΔABC, the perpendicular bisector of AC meets AB at D. Prove that AB=BD+DC




[Hint: Prove ΔAED≅ΔCED→ AD=DC Then AB=AD+DB=DC+DB]

Sol :

Consider ΔAED and ΔCED

AE=CE (given)

∠AED=∠CED (given)

ED=ED (common side)

So, ΔAED≅ΔCED (by S.A.S)

AD=CD (by C.P.C.T)

AB=AD+BD

AB=CD+BD 

Hence proved



Q11 | Ex-17D | Class 8| S.Chand | Composite maths | Triangles | Chapter - 17 |myhelper

Question 11

In the given figure, BM and DN are both perpendicular to the segment AC and BM=DN. Prove that AC bisects BD.





[Hint: Prove ΔBMR≅ΔDNR]

Sol :

Given : BM⟂AC, DN⟂AD, BM=DN

To proof : AC bisects BD i.e BR=DR

So, In ΔBMR and ΔDNR, we have

∠MRB=∠NRD (Vertically Opposite Angles)

∠BMR=∠DNR (Right angles)

BM=DN (given)

∴ΔBMR≅ΔDNR (by AAS)

∴BR=DR (by C.P.C.T)

i.e. AC bisects BD

Hence AC bisects BD



Q12 | Ex-17D | Class 8| S.Chand | Composite maths | Triangles | Chapter - 17 |myhelper

Question 12

In the adjoining figure, ABC is an isosceles triangle with AB=AC and also given that EC=BD. Prove that AE=AD.





Sol :

ABC is an isosceles triangle with

AB=AC and also, EC=BD

In ΔAEC and ΔABD

AB=AC (given)

∠ABD=∠ACE (base angle of isosceles triangle are equal)

EC=BD (given)

ΔAEC≅ΔABD (SAS congruency)

AE=AD (by C.P.C.T)

Hence, AE=AD 


ALTERNATE METHOD

ABC is an isosceles triangle with

AB=AC and also, EC=BD

In ΔABE and ΔACD

AB=AC (given)

∠ABE=∠ACD [∴isosceles property]

BD=EC (given)

BD+DE=EC+DE (When equal are added to equal the whole are equal)

Therefore BE=EC

ΔABE≅ΔACD (SAS congruency)

AE=AD (by C.P.C.T)

Hence, AE=AD
