points are not collinear, state so.
d(L, M) = 11, d(M, N) = 12, d(N, L) = 8
Ans :
d(M, N) = 12 ...(i)
d(L, M) + d(N, L) = 11 + 8

Ans :
Fill in the box
Perimeter of ΔABC = 10 cm
Here BC = 4.2 cm
and AB = AC
Then Find AC.
AB + BC + AC = 10cm
AB + 4.2 + AC = 10cm
AB + AC = 10 - 4.2
AB + AC = 5.8 cm
2AC = 5.8 cm
AC = 2.9 cm
 2. The corresponding angles formed by a transversal of two parallel lines are of equal measure.

Given : line l ∥ line m

and line n is the transversal.
□ = 180º ...(i) [Angles in a linear pair]
Proof : ∠a +

□ + ∠c = □...(ii) [property of interior angles of parallel lines]

∠a + ∠c = ∠b + ∠c [From (i) and (ii)]
□ = ∠b
Ans :
Proof : ∠a + ∠c = 180º ...(i) [Angles in a linear pair]
∠b + ∠c = 1800 ...(ii) [property of interior angles of parallel lines]
∠a + ∠c = ∠b + ∠c [From (i) and (ii)]
∠a = ∠b
 3. fill in the boxes and find ∠a, ∠b and ∠c.
Using the information in the given figure ,
b = 70º [Vertically opposite angles]
c+
100º =
□
[Angles
in
linear
pair]
∴ c=

80º
Now, In △ABC,
a + b + c = 180º [Sum of the measures of angles of triangle is 180º]
∴ a + □ + 80º = 180º
∴ a = 180º – 150º
∴ a= □
∴ a = 30º, b = 70º, c = □
Ans :
b = 70º [Vertically opposite angles]
c + 100º
= 1800
[Angles in
linear pair]

∴ c = 80º
Now, In △
ABC,
a+b+c=
180º
[Sum of the
measures of
angles of
triangle is
180º]
∴ a + 700 +
80º = 180º

∴
a = 180º –
150º
∴ a= 300
∴ a = 30º, b = 70º, c = 800

Q.2 (B) Solve the following questions. (Any 4) (8)

03

∠R = 450
2. If AB = 5 cm, BP = 2 cm and AP = 3.4 cm, compare the segments.
Ans :
AB = 5 cm, BP = 2 cm, AP = 3.4 cm
∴ 5 > 3.4 > 2
∵ l (AB) > l (AP) > l (BP)
∴ seg AB > seg AP > seg BP
3. In the adj. fig., y = 108° and x = 71°
Are the lines m and n parallel? Justify?

Ans :
x + y = 71º + 108º = 179º
∴ x + y ≠ 180º
Here interior angles are not supplementary.
∴ line m is not parallel to line n

∠RHD = 95º ...(2)
(ii) ∠PHG = ∠RHD [Vertically opposite angles]
∠PHG = 95º [From (2)]
(iii) ∠PHG + ∠HGS = 180º [Interior angle theorem]
