Answer»

Let QR and BC intersect at O.Join CQ, QB, BR and RC.ar(//gm PQRS) = ar(//gm PABC)⇒ ar(//gm PQOC) + ar(//gm CORS) = ar(//gm PQOC ) + ar(//gm QABO)⇒ ar(//gm CORS) = ar(//gm QABO)⇒1/2 ar(//gm CORS) = 1/2 ar(//gm QABO)⇒ar (ΔCOR) = ar (ΔQOB)⇒ar (ΔCOR) + ar (ΔCQO) = ar (ΔQOB) + ar (ΔCQO)⇒ar (ΔCQR) = ar (ΔCQB)

ΔCQR and ΔCQB are on the same base CQ and have equal areas.

Therefore, ΔCQR and ΔCQB lie between the same parallels QC and BR.Hence, QC // BR

7.

he sides of an isosceles triangle are in the ratio:5:4. The perimeter of the triangle is 196 cmFind the measures of all the sides of the triangle

Answer»

Let the ratio be x

So, sides are 5x, 5x, 4x

According to question,

5x + 5x + 4x = 196

14x = 196

x = 196/14 = 14

So, sides are 70, 70, and 56

D,E, P, are the mid points of the side BC CA and AB respectively of triangle ABC PROVE THAT BEEF IS a 11gmarea of triangle DEF =1/4 area of triangle ABCarea (11gmBDEF)=1/2 ar (triangle ABC)

Answer»

Parallelogram :A quadrilateral in which both pairs of opposite sides are parallel is called a parallelogram.

In aparallelogram diagonal divides it into two triangles of equal areas.

Mid point theorem:The line segment joining the midpoints of any two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and equal to half of it.

SOLUTION :

Given:ABC is a Triangle in which the midpoints of sides BC ,CA and AB are D, E and F.

To show:(i) BDEF is a parallelogram. (ii) ar (DEF) = 1/4ar (ABC)(iii) ar (BDEF) =1/2 ar (ABC)

Proof: i)Since E and F are the midpoints of AC and AB.

BC||FE & FE= ½ BC= BD

(By mid point theorem)

BD || FE & BD= FE

Similarly, BF||DE & BF= DE

Hence, BDEF is a parallelogram

.[A pair of opposite sides are equal and parallel]

(ii)Similarly, we can prove that FDCE & AFDE are also parallelograms.

Now, BDEF is a parallelogram so its diagonal FD divides its into two Triangles of equal areas.

∴ ar(ΔBDF) = ar(ΔDEF) — (i)

In Parallelogram AFDE

ar(ΔAFE) = ar(ΔDEF) (EF is a diagonal) — (ii)

In Parallelogram FDCE

ar(ΔCDE) = ar(ΔDEF) (DE is a diagonal) — (iii)

From (i), (ii) and (iii)

ar(ΔBDF) = ar(ΔAFE) = ar(ΔCDE) = ar(ΔDEF).....(iv)

ar(ΔBDF) + ar(ΔAFE) + ar(ΔCDE) + ar(ΔDEF) = ar(ΔABC)

4ar(ΔDEF) = ar(ΔABC)(From eq iv)

ar(∆DEF) = 1/4 ar(∆ABC)........(v)

(iii)Area (parallelogram BDEF) = ar(ΔDEF) + ar(ΔBDF)ar(parallelogram BDEF) = ar(ΔDEF) + ar(ΔDEF)

ar(parallelogram BDEF) = 2×ar(ΔDEF)(From eq iv)

ar(parallelogram BDEF) = 2× 1/4

ar(ΔABC)(From eq v)

ar(parallelogram BDEF) = 1/2 ar(ΔABC

The diameter and thickness of a hollow metals sphere are 12 cm and 0.01 mrespectively. The density of the metal is 8.88 gm per cm3. Find the outer surfacearea and mass of the sphere.

Answer»

Diameter of sphere from outside = 12 cm

Radius from outside R = 6 cm

Surface area = 4 πR²

= 4 (22/7) (6²) = 452.57 cm²

Now, Thickness of sphere = 0.01 m = 1 cm

Diameter from inside = 12 - 2 = 10 cm [ -2 is done to reduce from both sides ]

Radius from inside r = 5 cm

Volume of this sphere V = Volume of outside sphere - Volume of inside sphere

So, V = 4/3 πR³ - 4/3 πr³ = 4/3 π (R³ - r³)

V = 4/3 (22/7) (6³ - 5³)

V = 4/3 (22/7) (91)

V = 381.33 cm³

Now, Density = Mass / Volume

Mass = Density x Volume

Mass = (8.88) x (381.33)

Mass = 3386.24 g = 3.38624 kg

The diameter and thickness of a hollow metals sphere are 12 cm and 0.01 nrespectively. The density of the metal is 8.88 gm per cm. Find the outer surfacarea and mass of the sphere.6.

Answer»

Diameter of sphere from outside = 12 cm

Radius from outside R = 6 cm

Surface area = 4 πR²

= 4 (22/7) (6²) = 452.57 cm²

Now, Thickness of sphere = 0.01 m = 1 cm

Diameter from inside = 12 - 2 = 10 cm [ -2 is done to reduce from both sides ]

Radius from inside r = 5 cm

Volume of this sphere V = Volume of outside sphere - Volume of inside sphere

So, V = 4/3 πR³ - 4/3 πr³ = 4/3 π (R³ - r³)

V = 4/3 (22/7) (6³ - 5³)

V = 4/3 (22/7) (91)

V = 381.33 cm³

Now, Density = Mass / Volume

Mass = Density x Volume

Mass = (8.88) x (381.33)

Mass = 3386.24 g = 3.38624 kg
