Question
ΔRHP ~ ΔNED, In ΔNED, NE = 7 cm, ∠D = 30°, ∠N = 20° and `"HP"/"ED" = 4/5`. Then construct ΔRHP and ΔNED
Solution
In ∆NED, ∠D = 30°
and ∠N = 20° ......(i) [Given]
∴ ∠E = 130° .....(ii) [Remaining angle of a triangle]
∆RHP ∼ ∆NED
∴ `"RH"/"NE" = "HP"/"ED" = "PR"/"DN"` .....[Corresponding sides of similar triangles]
∴ `"RH"/7 = 4/5` ......[Given]
∴ RH = `(4 xx 7)/5` = 5.6 cm
Also, ∠R = ∠N, ∠H = ∠E, ∠P = ∠D ......(iii) [Corresponding angles of similar triangles]
∴ ∠R = 20°, ∠H = 130°, ∠P = 30° ......[From (i),(ii) and (iii)]
