Question
In the given figure, x + y =
Options
270
230
210
190°
Solution
In the given figure, we need to find x+ y
Here, AB and CD are straight lines intersecting at point O, so using the property, “vertically opposite angles are equal”, we get,
∠BOD = ∠AOC
∠BOD = 40°
Further, applying the property, “an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two opposite interior angles”, in ΔAOC, we get,
x° = ∠ACO + ∠AOC
x° = 80° + 40°
x° = 120°
Similarly, in ΔBOD
y° = ∠BOD + ∠BDO
y° = 40° + 70°
y° = 110°
Thus,
x° + y° = 120° + 110°
x° + y° = 230°

ABC is an isosceles triangle with AB = AC and D is a point on BC such that AD ⊥ BC (Figure). To prove that ∠BAD = ∠CAD, a student proceeded as follows:
In ∆ABD and ∆ACD,
AB = AC (Given)
∠B = ∠C (Because AB = AC)
and ∠ADB = ∠ADC
Therefore, ∆ABD ≅ ∆ACD (AAS)
So, ∠BAD = ∠CAD (CPCT)
