(a) CDE  ABE alt.s, AB // DC 
ABE  DCE
CDE  DCE
CE  ED sides opp. equal s 

(b) CED  180  60  60  sum of 

CF  cm
2
 3 cm
EF  62  32 cm Pyth.Thm.
 27 cm
 3 3 cm
Therefore, the area of CDE

2. [12-13 Final Exam, #7]


(a) ∵ ∠B = ∠D (alt. ∠s, AB // DE)
∠ACB = ∠DCE (vert. opp. ∠s)
∴ ΔABC ~ ΔEDC (AAA)

(b)  AB  AC OR AB BC
 (corr. sides, ~ s)
ED EC ED DC
2 AC 2 x2  4
  OR 
6 3x 6 DC
AC = x OR DC  3 x 2  4

In ΔABC OR EDC,
∵ AB2 + BC2 OR CD2 + DE2
2
  x 2  4   22 = 9(x2 – 4) + 62
 
= x2 = 9x2

∵ AC2 = x2 OR CE2 = (3x)2 = 9x2


 AB2 + BC2 = AC2 OR CD2 + DE2 = CE2

∴ B = 90 and ABC is rt-angled


OR D = 90 and CDE is rt-angled
(converse of Pyth. thm.)

∵ ΔABC ~ ΔEDC (proved)


 ΔEDC OR ΔABC is also rt-angled.

 I agree that both ΔABC & ΔEDC are rt-angled.

3. [13-14 Final Exam, #10]

(a) ∵ C = ABD (given)


A = A (common )
 ABC ~ ADB (AAA)

(b) AB  AC (corr. sides, ~s)


AD AB
20 25

AD 20
AD = 16 (cm)

AB2 = 202 = 400 (cm2)


AD2 + BD2 = 162 + 122
= 400 (cm2)
= AB2
 ABD is a rt-angled  & ADB = 90
(converse of Pyth. thm.)

4. [14-15 Final Exam #13]


(a) ACB = MCN (common )
AC  CM  BC  CN
AC BC

CN CM
ΔABC ~ ΔNMC (ratio of 2 sides, inc. )

(b)(i)
Method 1 Method 2 Method 3
ABC = BAC (given) ABC = BAC (given) ABC = BAC (given)
AC = CB (sides opp. equal s) ΔABC ~ ΔNMC (proved) AC = CB (sides opp. equal s)
ABC = CMN (corr. s,
AC  CM  BC  CN (given) ~s) ΔABC is an isosceles triangle.
CM = CN BAC = CNM (corr. s, ΔABC ~ ΔNMC (proved)
ΔNMC is an isosceles triangle. ~s) ΔNMC is an isosceles triangle.
CMN= CNM
CM = CN (sides opp. equal s)

ΔNMC is an isosceles triangle.

(b)(ii)
ABC = NMC (corr. s, ~s)
NMC + AMN = 180° (adj. s on st. line.)
ABC + AMN = 180°

5. [15-16 Final Exam #5]

(a) CBF  ABF  180 (adj. s on st. line)


CBF  4x  180
CBF  180  4x
In △BFC,
CBF  BFC  DCF (ext.  of )
(180  4 x)  45  4 x  1
224  8x
x  28

(b)
ABF  4 x

BFG  BFC  CFG


 45  (2  28  11)

∵ ABF  BFG = 112° (proved)

∴ AD // EG (alt. s equal)
