In the following Figure, ∠ABC = 90° and BD ⊥ AC. If BD = 8 cm and AD = 4 cm, find CD.
उत्तर
We have, ∠ABC = 90° and BD ⊥ AC
Now, ∠ABD + ∠DBC − 90° …(i) [∵ ∠ABC − 90°]
And, ∠C + ∠DBC − 90° …(ii) [By angle sum prop. in ΔBCD]
Compare equations (i) & (ii)
∠ABD = ∠C …(iii)
In ΔABD and ΔBCD
∠ABD = ∠C [From (iii)]
∠ADB = ∠BDC [Each 90°]
Then, ΔABD ~ ΔBCD [By AA similarity]
`therefore"BD"/"CD"="AD"/"BD"` [Corresponding parts of similar Δ are proportional]
`rArr8/"CD"=4/8`
`rArr"CD"=(8xx8)/4=16` cm

In the given figure, ΔLMN is similar to ΔPQR. To find the measure of ∠N, complete the following activity.
Given: ΔLMN ∼ ΔPQR
Since ΔLMN ∼ ΔPQR, therefore, corresponding angles are equal.
So, ∠L ≅ `square`
⇒ ∠L = `square`
We know, the sum of angles of a triangle = `square`
∴ ∠L + ∠M + ∠N = `square`
Substituting the values of ∠L and ∠M in equation (i),
`square` + `square` + ∠N = `square`
∠N + `square` = `square`
∠N = `square` – `square`
∠N = `square`
Hence, the measure of ∠N is `square`.
If ΔABC ∼ ΔDEF such that ∠A = 92° and ∠B = 40°, then ∠F = ?
