CHAPTER 7
Triangles(Ex. 7.1)

1. In quadrilateral ABCD (See figure). AC = AD and AB bisects A. Show that ABC


ABD. What can you say about BC and BD?

Ans. Given: In quadrilateral ABCD, AC = AD and AB bisects A.

To prove: ABC ABD


Proof: In ABC and ABD,
AC = AD [Given]
BAC = BAD [ AB bisects A]

AB = AB [Common]
ABC ABD [By SAS congruency]
Thus BC = BD [By C.P.C.T.]

2. ABCD is a quadrilateral in which AD = BC and DAB = CBA. (See figure). Prove


that:

(i) ABD BAC

(ii) BD = AC

(iii) ABD = BAC

Ans. (i) In ABC and BAD,

BC = AD [Given]

DAB = CBA [Given]

AB = AB [Common]

ABC ABD [By SAS congruency]

Thus AC = BD [By C.P.C.T.]

(ii) Since ABC ABD

AC = BD [By C.P.C.T.]

(iii) Since ABC ABD

ABD = BAC [By C.P.C.T.]

3. AD and BC are equal perpendiculars to a line segment AB. Show that CD bisects AB
(See figure)

Ans. In BOC and AOD,

OBC = OAD = [Given]

Material downloaded from myCBSEguide.com. 2 / 7


BOC = AOD [Vertically Opposite angles]

BC = AD [Given]

BOC AOD [By AAS congruency]

OB = OA [By C.P.C.T., Also, OC = OD again by C.P.C.T.]

4. and are two parallel lines intersected by another pair of parallel lines and
(See figure). Show that ABC CDA.

Ans. AC being a transversal. [Given]

Therefore DAC = ACB [Alternate angles]

Now [Given]

And AC being a transversal. [Given]

Therefore BAC = ACD [Alternate angles]

Now In ABC and ADC,

ACB = DAC [Proved above]

BAC = ACD [Proved above]

AC = AC [Common]

ABC CDA [By ASA congruency]

5. Line is the bisector of the angle A and B is any point on BP and BQ are

perpendiculars from B to the arms of A. Show that:

(i) APB AQB

(ii) BP = BQ or B is equidistant from the arms of A (See figure).

Ans. Given: Line bisects A.

BAP = BAQ

(i) In ABP and ABQ,

BAP = BAQ [Given]

BPA = BQA = [Given]

AB = AB [Common]

APB AQB [By AAS congruency]

(ii) Since APB AQB

BP = BQ [By C.P.C.T.]

B is equidistant from the arms of A.

6. In figure, AC = AE, AB = AD and BAD = EAC. Show that BC = DE.

Material downloaded from myCBSEguide.com. 4 / 7


Ans. Given that BAD = EAC

Adding DAC on both sides, we get

BAD + DAC = EAC + DAC

BAC = EAD ……….(i)

Now in ABC and ADE,

AB = AD [Given]

AC = AE [Given]

BAC = DAE [From eq. (i)]

ABC ADE [By SAS congruency]

BC = DE [By C.P.C.T.]

7. AB is a line segment and P is the mid-point. D and E are points on the same side of AB
such that BAD = ABE and EPA = DPB. Show that:

(i) DAP EBP

(ii) AD = BE (See figure)

Ans. Given that EPA = DPB

Adding EPD on both sides, we get

EPA + EPD = DPB + EPD

APD = BPE ……….(i)

Now in APD and BPE,

Material downloaded from myCBSEguide.com. 5 / 7


PAD = PBE [ BAD = ABE (given),

PAD = PBE]

AP = PB [P is the mid-point of AB]

APD = BPE [From eq. (i)]

DAP EBP [By ASA congruency]

AD = BE [ By C.P.C.T.]

8. In right triangle ABC, right angled at C, M is the mid-point of hypotenuse AB. C is


joined to M and produced to a point D such that DM = CM. Point D is joined to point B.
(See figure)

Show that:

(i) AMC BMD

(ii) DBC is a right angle.

(iii) DBC ACB

(iv) CM = AB

Ans. (i) In AMC and BMD,


AM = BM [M is the mid-point of AB]
AMC = BMD [Vertically opposite angles]
CM = DM [Given]
AMC BMD [By SAS congruency]
ACM = BDM ……….(i)

Material downloaded from myCBSEguide.com. 6 / 7


CAM = DBM and AC = BD [By C.P.C.T.]

(ii) For two lines AC and DB and transversal DC, we have,


ACD = BDC [Alternate angles]
AC DB
Now for parallel lines AC and DB and for transversal BC.
[cointerior angles].....(ii)
But ABC is a right angled triangle, right angled at C.
ACB = ……….(iii)
Therefore DBC = [Using eq. (ii) and (iii)]
DBC is a right angle.

(iii) Now in DBC and ABC,

DB = AC [Proved in part (i)]


DBC = ACB = [Proved in part (ii)]
BC = BC [Common]
DBC ACB [By SAS congruency]

(iv) Since DBC ACB [Proved above]

DC = AB
DM + CM = AB
CM + CM = AB [ DM = CM]
2CM = AB
CM = AB
