Draw a triangle of sides 3,4 and 6 centimeters. Draw three different right triangles of the same area.
Answer:
Draw ∆ ABC having sides 3 cm, 4 cm, and 6 cm.

Draw a line parallel to AB through C and a line from B perpendicular to the parallel line, both lines intersect at point E. Now ∆ABE is a right angled triangle. Also draw a line perpendicular to the parallel line through A, which makes a point Don parallel line, join BD. ∆ ABD is a right angled triangle.

How many different (non-congruent) triangles can you draw with two sides 8 and 6 centimetres and area 12 square centimetres? What if the area is to be 24 square centimetres?
Answer:
For the triangle of area of 12 sq.cm., the height from the 8 cm side should be 3cm.
Then the area = 12 x 8 x 3 =12 sq.cm
Draw a line 8 cm long. Draw another line parallel to it at a distance of 3 cm. Draw a circle of radius 6 cm with one end of the first line as the center. The points where this circle cuts the second line are the third vertex of the triangle.

Prove that the two triangles shown below have the same area:

Answer:

∠ A = 50°
∠B = 130°
∠A + ∠B = 50 + 130 = 180°
These angles are supplementary. So lines AD and BC are parallel. Their lengths are equal.
Since these triangles have the same base and their third vertices on a line parallel to the base, their areas are equal.

Kerala Syllabus 9th Standard Maths Notes Question 4.
The picture shows a rectangle divided into two parts. Instead of the broken line separating these parts, draw a straight line to divide the rectangle into two other parts of the same area. Calculate the areas of these parts.

Answer:

Join PQ, draw a line parallel to PQ through O intersecting points are M and N line PN or MQ can make 2 parts with same area.

Proof:
Area of rectangle ABCD = 5 x 3 = 15 sq.cm
Area of trapezium JOPD = 12 x 1 x (1+3) = 2 sq cm
Area of trapezium AQOJ = 12 x 2 x (2 + 3) =5 sqcm
Area of part AQOPD = Area of trapezium JOPD + Area of trapezium AQOJ
= 2 + 5 = 7 sqcm
Area of the remaining part = 15 – 7 = 8 sq cm
Now area of trapezium ANPD is equal to the area of pentagon AQOPD.

Prove that the areas of all three triangles in the picture on the right are equal to a third of the area of the whole triangle.
Answer:

Mid point of AB is Q
∴ ∆ AQC and ∆ BQC have equal area’s P divides AQ in the ratio 2 : 1.
Area of ∆ APC is twice the area of ∆ AQP.
∴ Sum of the areas of ∆ AQP and ∆ BQP is equal to the sum of the area’s of ∆ APC and ∆ BPC.
The area of the APB, PCB and CPA are same. The area of three triangles is equal to the third of area of the whole triangle.

Question 4.
Prove that the lengths of the per-pendiculars from any point on the bisector of an angle to the sides are equal.
Answer:

OC is the bisector of ∠AOB
C ia a point on this bisector.
CA is perpendicular to OA.
CB is perpendicular to OB.
We have to prove that CA = CB Consider the two triangle ∆ OAC and ∆ OBC.
OC = OC (Common side)
∠OAC = ∠OBC = 90°
∠AOC = ∠BOC (OC is the bisector of AOB)
One side and two angles on it of OAC are equal o one side and two angles on it of OBC.
So these triangles are equal.
Then sides opposite to equal angles are equal.
CA = CB
∴ The lengths of the perpendiculars from any point on the bisector of an angle to the sides are equal.

Question 5.
In the picture below, the side AC of the triangle ABC is extended to D, by adding the length of the side CB. Then the line through C parallel to DB is drawn to meet AB at E.

1. Prove that CE bisects ∠C.
2. Describe how this can be used to divide an 8 centimeters long line in the ratio 4 : 5.
3. Can we use it to divide an 8 centimeters long line in the ratio 3 : 4? How?

Answer:
1. ∆ BCD is an equilateral triangle If∠CBD = x then ∠CDB = x
∠BCD = 180 – 2x
∠BCE = x
(line BC passing through parallel lines EC and BD makes equal angle)
∴ ∠ACE = x
∴ line CE bisects ∠C.

2. If AB = 8, AC = 4, and CB = 5
then the line CE divides AB in the ratio 4 : 5.

3. No.
We can’t draw a triangle with sides 8cm, 3cm and 4cm. Since 3 : 4 = 6 : 8, take 6cm and 8cm as two sides then find third side.

Question 6.
In the figure, the diagonals of a quadrilateral split it into four tri-angles. The areas of three of them are shown in the picture:

Calculate the area of the whole quadrilateral.
Answer:
A line from the vertex of a triangle divides the length of the opposite side and the area of triangle in the same ratio.

In ∆ ACD, a line DE is drawn from D to AC.
∴ AE : EC = Area ∆ AED : Area of ∆ CED
AE : EC = 60 : 30 = 2 : 1
In ∆ ACB, a line BE is drawn from B to AC.
∴ AE : EC = Area of ∆ AEB : Area of ∆ CEB
2 : 1= Area of ∆ AEB : 40 = 2 : 1
∴ Area of ∆ AEB = 40×201 =80 sq.cm
∴ Total area of the quadrilateral = 60 + 30 + 80 + 40 = 210 sq.cm

Question 7.
In this picture the hori∠ontal lines at the top and bottom are parallel.

Prove that the yellow and red tri-angles are of the same area.
Answer:

AB ∥ DC
∴ Area of ∆ ABC = Area of ∆ ABD (Same base and the third vertex on a line parallel to the base)
Area of ∆ ABC – Area of ∆ ABE = Area of ∆ ABD – Area of ∆ ABE
∴ Area of ABEC = Area of ∆ AED ∆ AED ↔ ∆ BEC

Question 8.
In the figure, the diagonals of a trapezium split it into four triangles.

The area of the yellow triangle is 10 square centimetres and the area of the green triangle is 20 square centi – metres. What is the area of the whole trapezium?
Answer:
Since quadrilateral ABCD is a trapezium, lines AB and CD are parallel.

So area of ∆ ABD = 20 + 10 = 30 sq.cm
Area of ∆ ABC = 30 sq.cm
(Same base and the third vertex on a line parallel to the base)
Area of ∆ ABC = 30 sq.cm
Area of ∆ ABE = 20 sq.cm
Area of ∆ BEC = 30 – 20 = 10 sq.cm
From ∆ ABC,
AE : EC = area of ∆ ABE : Area of ∆ BEC
AE : EC = 20 : 10 = 2 : 1
From ∆ ACD,
AE : EC = 10 : area of ∆ DEC 2 : 1 = 10: area of ∆ DEC
Area of ∆ DEC = 1×102 sq.cm
Total area of the trapezium
= 20 + 10 + 10 + 5
= 45 sq.cm

Question 9.
The picture below shows a trapezium divided into four parts by the diagonals.

The area of the blue triangle is 4 square centimetres and the area of the green triangle is 9 square centimetres. What is the total area of the trapezium?
Answer:

Area of ∆ AMD and ABMC are equal.
If area = A sq. cm then
9 : A = BM : MD
A : 4 = BM : MD;
9 : A = A : 4
A2 = 36
A = 6 sq. cm
∴ Area of trapezium = 6 + 4 + 6 + 9 = 25 sq. cm
