Question 1.
In the figure, PS is the bisector of ∠QPR of

Question 2.
In the given figure, D is a point on hypotenuse AC of ∆ABC, such that BD ⊥ AC, DM ⊥BC and DN ⊥ AB. Prove that:
(i) DM² = DN.
(ii) DM² = DM . AN

Solution:
In the given figure ∆ABC in which
AB ⊥ BC and DM ⊥ BC,
AB || DM
Similarly CB ⊥ AB and DN ⊥ AB
CB || DN
Hence quadrilateral BMDN is a rectangle
BM = ND
(i) In ∆BMD
∠1 + ∠BMD + ∠2 = 180°
(by Angle sum property)
∠1 + 90° +∠2 = 180°
∠1 + ∠2 = 90° ……………(1)
Similarly, in ∆DMC we have
∠3 + ∠4 = 90° ……………. (2)
Since BD ⊥ AC
Therefore ∠2 + ∠3 = 90° ………….(3)
From eqn (1) and (3)
∠1 + ∠2 = ∠2 + ∠3
∠1 = ∠3
Also from eqn (2) and (3)
∠3 + ∠4 = ∠2 + ∠3
∠2 = ∠4
Thus is ∆DMB and ∆DMC
We have
∠1 + ∠3 and ∠2 + ∠4
∆B/ND ~ ∆D/NA
BN/DN = NDDA
DM/DN = DN/MC
DN² = DM . MC

Question 3.
In figure ABC is a triangle in which 90° and AD ⊥ CB produced prove that
AC² = AB² + BC² + 2BC . BD

Solution:
Given : ∆ABC in which < ABC > 90° and AD ⊥ CB produced.
To prove: In right triangle ADC
∠D = 90°
AC² = AD² + DC²
(by Pythagoras theorem)
AC² = AD² + (BD + BC)²
(DC = BD + BC)
AC² = AD² + BD² + BC² + 2BC . BD ………….(1)
Now in right ∆ADB
AC² = AD² + BD² ………………….(2)
(by Pythagoras theorem)
From eqn (1) and (2)
AC² = AB² + BC² + 2BC . BD

Question 4.
In figure, ABC is a triangle in which ∠ABC ∠90° and AD ⊥ BC.
To Prove: AC² = AB² + BC² + 2BC . BD

Proof: In right ∆ADC
∠D = 90°
AC² = AD² + (BC – BD)²
(DC = BC – BD)
AC² = AD² + BC² + BD² – 2BC . BD
AC² = AD² + BD² + BC² – 2BC . BD ……………(1)
Now in right ∆ADB
AB² = AD² + BD² …………(2)
(by Pythagoras theorem)
From eqn (1) and (2) we have
AC² = AB² + BC² – 2BC² . BD

Question 5.
In figure AD is a median of a triangle ABC and AM ⊥BC prove that

Question 6.
Prove that the sum of the squares of the diagonals of parallelogram is equal to the sum of the squares of its sides.
Solution:
Given:
ABCD is a ||^gm whose diagonals are AC and BD.

To prove:
AB² + BC² + CD² + CA² = AC² + BD²
Construction:
Draw AM ⊥ DC and BN ⊥ DC (produced)
Proof: In right ∆AMD and ∆BNC
AD = BC (opposite sides of ||^gm)
AM = BN (altitudes of same ||^gm on the same base)
∆AMD ≅ ∆BNC (by RHS congruence Rule)
MD = CN …………..(1) (by CPCT)
Now in right triangle BND
∠N = 90°
BD² = BN² + DN²
(by Pythagoras theorem)
BD² = BN² + (DC + CN)²(DN = DC + CN)
BD² = BN² + DC² CN² + 2DC . CN
BD² = BN² + CN² + DC² + 2DC . CN ………….(2)
Now in right ∆BNC
BD² = BN² + CN² ……..(3)
From eqn (2) and (3)
BD² = BC² + DC² + 2DC . CN ………………(4)
Now in right ∆ADM
∠M = 90°
AC² = AM² + MC² ………….
(by Pythagoras theorem)
AC² = AM² + (DC – DM)²
(MC = DC – DM)
AC² = AM² + DC² + DM² – 2DC . DM
AC² = AM² + DM² + DC² – 2DC . DM …………..(5)
Now in right ∆ADM
AD² = AM² + DM² ……………(6)
(by Pythagors theorem)
From eqn (5) and (6) and we have
AC² = AD² + DC² – 2DC . DM
AC² = AD² + AB² – 2DC . CN …………..(7)
(DC = AB opposite sides of ||^gm and DM = CN from eqn (1))
Adding eqn (4) and (7)
AC² + BD² = AD² + AB² + BC² + DC²
AC² + BD² = AB² + BC² + CD² + DA²

(ii) PA . PB = PC . PD

Question 9.
In figure, D is a point on side BC of ∆ABC such that BD/CD = AB/AC.
Prove that AD is the bisector of ∠BAC.

Question 10.
Nazima is fly fishing in a stream. The tip of her fishing rod is 1.8 m above the surface of the water and the fly at the end of the string rests on the water 3.6 m away and 2.4 m from a point directly under the tip of the rod. Assuming that her string (from the tip of her rod to the fly) is taut, how much string does she have out (see figure)? If she pulls in the string at the rate of 5 cm per second, what will be the horizontal distance of the fly from her after 12 seconds?

Solution:
Let us find the length of the string that the has out
In right ∆ABC
AC² = AB² + BC²
(by Pythagoras theorem)
AC² = (2.4)² + (1.8)²
AC² = 5.76 + 3.24 = 9
AC = 3m
i.e length of string she has out = 3m since the string is pulled out at the rate of 5 cm/sec.
Length of the string pulled out in
12 seconds = 5 cm x 12 cm = 60 cm
= 60/100 m = 0.60 metre
Remaining string left out = (3 – 0.60) m
= 2.4m
To find horizontal distance
Inright ∆PBC, let PB the required horizontal distance of fly.
Since PC² = PB² + BC²
PB² = PC² + BC²
PB² = (2.4)² – (1.8)²
PB² = 5.76 – 3.24
PB² = 2.52
PB = 1.59 (approx)

Thus, the horizontal distance of the fly from nazima after 12 seconds
= 1.59 + 1.2 = 2.79 m (approx)
