उत्तर

∆ABC is an equilateral triangle.

It is given that,

PC = `1/3`BC

PC = `1/3 xx 6`

PC = 2 cm

∴ BP = BC − PC

= 6 − 2

= 4 cm

Since, ∆ABC is an equilateral triangle, OA is the perpendicular bisector of BC.

OC = `"BC"/2`

= `6/2`

= 3 cm

∴ OP = OC − PC

= 3 − 2

= 1 cm   ...(1)

According to Pythagoras theorem,

In ∆AOB,

AB2 = AO2 + OC2

∴ (6)2 = AO2 + (3)2

∴ 36 = AO2 + 9

∴ AO2 = 36 − 9

∴ AO2 = 27

∴ AO = `sqrt27`

∴ AO = `3sqrt3` cm   ...(2)

In ∆AOP,

AP2 = AO2 + OP2

∴ AP2 = `(3sqrt3)^2 + (1)^2 `

∴ AP2 = 27 + 1

∴ AP2 = 28

∴ AP = `sqrt28`

∴ AP = `2sqrt7` cm

From given figure, In ∆ABC, AD ⊥ BC, then prove that AB2 + CD2 = BD2 + AC2 by completing activity.

Activity: From given figure, In ∆ACD, By pythagoras theorem

AC2 = AD2 + `square`

∴ AD2 = AC2 – CD2    ......(I)

Also, In ∆ABD, by pythagoras theorem,

AB2 = `square` + BD2

∴ AD2 = AB2 – BD2    ......(II)

∴ `square` − BD2 = AC2 − `square`

∴ AB2 + CD2 = AC2+ BD2


Complete the following activity to find the length of hypotenuse of right angled triangle, if sides of right angle are 9 cm and 12 cm.

Activity: In ∆PQR, m∠PQR = 90°

By Pythagoras Theorem,

PQ2 + `square` = PR2    ......(I)

∴ PR2 = 92 + 122 

∴ PR2 = `square` + 144

∴ PR2 = `square`

∴ PR = 15

∴ Length of hypotenuse of triangle PQR is `square` cm.


From given figure, in ∆PQR, if ∠QPR = 90°, PM ⊥ QR, PM = 10, QM = 8, then for finding the value of QR, complete the following activity.


Activity: In ∆PQR, if ∠QPR = 90°, PM ⊥ QR,  ......[Given]

In ∆PMQ, by Pythagoras Theorem,

∴ PM2 + `square` = PQ2     ......(I)

∴ PQ2 = 102 + 82 

∴ PQ2 = `square` + 64

∴ PQ2 = `square`

∴ PQ = `sqrt(164)`

Here, ∆QPR ~ ∆QMP ~ ∆PMR

∴ ∆QMP ~ ∆PMR

∴ `"PM"/"RM" = "QM"/"PM"`

∴ PM2 = RM × QM

∴ 102 = RM × 8

RM = `100/8 = square`

And,

QR = QM + MR

QR = `square` + `25/2 = 41/2`


Find the diagonal of a rectangle whose length is 16 cm and area is 192 sq.cm. Complete the following activity.

Activity: As shown in figure LMNT is a reactangle.

∴ Area of rectangle = `square` × breadth

∴ 192 = `square` × breadth

∴ Breadth = 12 cm

Also,

∠TLM = 90°    ......[Each angle of reactangle is right angle]

In ∆TLM,

By Pythagoras theorem

∴ TM2 = TL2 + `square`

∴ TM2 = 122 + `square`

∴ TM2 = 144 + `square`

∴ TM2 = 400

∴ TM = 20
