Q) Triangle is a very popular shape used in interior designing. The picture given above shows a cabinet designed by a famous interior designer.Here the largest triangle is represented by △ ABC and smallest one with shelf is represented by △ DEF. PQ is parallel to EF.(i) Show that △ DPQ ∼ △ DEF.(ii) If DP=
Q) In the given figure, EA/EC = EB/ ED , prove that ΔEAB ~ ΔECD Ans: Step 1: It is given that: ∴ by cross multiplying, we can say that: Step 2: Let’s look at Δ EAB and Δ ECD: ∠ AEB = ∠ DEC (∵ Vertically Opposite Angles) Step 3: Let’s compare Δ EAB
In the given figure, EA/EC = EB/ ED , prove that ΔEAB ~ ΔECD Read More »
Q) Prove that the tangents drawn at the end points of a chord of a circle makes equal angles with the chord. Ans: Let’s start by making a diagram for the question: Here, we have circle with Centre O and PQ is a chord. From point R, two tangents are drawn at end points of

Q) In the given figure, AB and CD are tangents to a circle centred at O. Is angle BAC = angle DCA ? Justify your answer. Ans: VIDEO SOLUTION STEP BY STEP SOLUTION Step 1: Let’s connect center O with points A and C Step 2: Since BA is the tangent to the circle and
Q) In the given figure, PQ is tangent to a circle centred at O and ∠BAQ = 30°; show that BP = BQ. Ans: Here, We need to prove that BP = BQ, it means we need to get ∠ BQP = ∠ BPQ Step 1: Let’s start with given diagram. Since AB is a straight
Q) In the given figure, AB, BC, CD and DA are tangents to the circle with centre O forming a quadrilateral ABCD. Show that angle AOB+ angle COD = 1800 Ans: Let’s draw a diagram and connect O with all vertices of Quadrilateral ABCD and al touch points on its circumference: Let’s start with Δ
Q) In the figure, E is a point on side CB produced of an isosceles triangle ABC with AB = AC. If AD ⊥ BC and EF ⊥ AC, prove that Δ ABD ~ Δ ECF. Ans: Since Δ ABC is an isosceles triangle, hence AB = AC ∴ ∠ B = ∠ C ………..
