Triangles Notes (MLL)

Q 1) In (i) and (ii), DE || BC. Find EC in (i) and AD in (ii)

Q2) E and F are points on the sides PQ and PR respectively of a ∆PQR. For
each of the following cases, state whether EF || QR:
(i) PE = 3.9 cm, EQ = 3 cm, PF = 3.6 cm and FR = 2.4 cm

ii) PE = 4 cm, QE = 4.5 cm, PF = 8 cm and RF = 9 cm

iii) PQ = 1.28 cm, PR = 2.56 cm, PE = 0.18 cm and PF = 0.36 cm


Basic Proportionality Theorem
find ∠ P

In Δ ABC and Δ PQR,

A girl of height 90 cm is walking away from the base of a lamp-post at a speed


of 1.2 m/s. If the lamp is 3.6 m above the ground, find the length of her shadow
after 4 seconds.
Let AB denote the lamp-post and CD the girl after walking for 4 seconds away
from the lamp-post (). From the figure, you can see that DE is the shadow of the
girl.
Let DE be x metres
BD = 1.2 m × 4 = 4.8 m. In Δ ABE and Δ CDE
So, the shadow of the girl after walking for 4 seconds is 1.6 m long.
In the given figure, DE II AB. Which of the following is true?

(a) 𝑥 = (𝑎+𝑏)/ 𝑎𝑦 (b) 𝑦 = 𝑎𝑥/( 𝑎+𝑏) (c) 𝑥 = 𝑎𝑦 /(𝑎+𝑏 )(d) 𝑥/ 𝑦 = 𝑎/ 𝑏


(b) The perimeters of two similar triangles are 26 cm and 39 cm.The ratio of
their corresponding sides will be
(a) 2:3 (b) 6:9 (c) 4:6 (d) 4:9
A vertical stick 20m long casts a shadow 10m long on the ground. At the same
time a tower casts a shadow 50m long. What is the height of the tower?
(b) 30m (b) 50m (c) 80m (d) 100m
TRIANGLES -1
