Exercise 6.2 Very Short Answer Type Questions
Question 1:
Is the triangle with sides 25 cm, 5 cm and 24 cm a right triangle? Give reason for your
answer.
Solution:
False
Let a = 25 cm, b = 5 cm and c =24 cm
Now, b2 + c2 = (5)2 + (24)2
= 25+ 576 = 601 ≠ (25)2
Hence, given sides do not make a right triangle because it does not satisfy the property of
Pythagoras theorem.
Question 2:
It is given that ΔDEF ~ ΔRPQ. Is it true to say that ∠D = ∠R and ∠F = ∠P ? Why?
Solution:
False
We know that, if two triangles are similar, then their corresponding angles are equal.
∴ ∠D = ∠R, ∠E = ∠P and ∠F = Q
Question 3:
A and B are respectively the points on the sides PQ and PR of a ΔPQR such that PQ = 12.5
cm, PA = 5 cm, BR = 6 cm and PB = 4 cm. Is AB || QR ? Give reason for your answer.
Solution:
False
Given, PQ = 12.5 cm, PA = 5 cm, BR = 6 cm and PB = 4 cm
Question 4:
In figure, BD and CE intersect each other at the point P. Is ΔPBC ~ ΔPDE? Why?
Solution:
True
Since, one angle of ΔPBC is equal to one angle of ΔPDE and the sides including these
angles are proportional, so both triangles are similar.
Hence, ΔPBC ∼ ΔPDE, by SAS similarity criterion.
Question 5:
In ΔPQR and ΔMST, ∠P = 55°, ∠Q =25°, ∠M = 100° and ∠S = 25°. Is ΔQPR ~ ΔTSM?
Why?
Solution:
False
We know that, the sum of three angles of a triangle is 180°.
In ΔPQR, ∠P + ∠Q + ∠R = 180°
⇒ 55° + 25° + ∠R = 180°
⇒ ∠R = 180° – (55° + 25°)= 180° – 80° =100°
In ΔTSM, ∠T + ∠S + ∠M = 180°
⇒ ∠T + ∠25°+ 100° = 180°
⇒ ∠T = 180°-(25° +100°)
=180°-125°= 55°
In ΔPQR and A TSM, and
∠P = ∠T, ∠Q = ∠S,
and ∠R = ∠M
ΔPQR ~ ΔTSM [since, all corresponding angles are equal]
Hence, Δ QPR is not similar to ΔTSM, since correct correspondence is P ↔ T, Q < r→ S and
R ↔M
Question 6:
Is the following statement true? Why? “Two quadrilaterals are similar, if their corresponding
angles are equal”.
Solution:
False
Two quadrilaterals are similar, if their corresponding angles are equal and corresponding
sides must also be proportional.
Question 7:
Two sides and the perimeter of one triangle are respectively three times the corresponding
sides and the perimeter of the other triangle. Are the two triangles similar? Why?
Solution:
True
Here, the corresponding two sides and the perimeters of two triangles are proportional, then
third side of both triangles will also in proportion.
Question 8:
If in two right triangles, one of the acute angles of one triangle is equal to an acute angle of
the other triangle. Can you say
that two triangles will be similar? Why?
Solution:
True
Let two right angled triangles be ΔABC and ΔPQR.
Question 9:
The ratio of the corresponding altitudes of two similar triangles is . Is it
correct to say that ratio of their areas is ? Why?
Solution:
False
By the property of area of two similar triangles,
So, given statement is not correct,
Question 10:
D is a point on side QR of ΔPQR such that PD ⊥ QR. Will it be correct to say that ΔPQD ~
ΔRPD? Why?
Solution:
False
In ΔPQD and ΔRPD,
PD = PD [common side]
∠PDQ = ∠PDR [each 90°]
Here, no other sides or angles are equal, so we can say that ∠PQD is not similar to ΔRPD.
But, if ∠P = 90°,
then ∠DPQ = ∠PRD
[each equal to 90° – ∠0 and by ASA similarity criterion, ΔPQD ~ΔRPD]
Question 11:
In figure, if ∠D = ∠C, then it is true that ΔADE ~ ΔACB? Why?
Solution:
True
In ΔADE and ΔACB,
∠A = ∠A [common angle]
∠D = ∠C [given]
ΔADE ~ ΔACB [by AAA similarity criterion]
Question 12:
Is it true to say that, if in two triangles, an angle of one triangle is equal to an angle of
another triangle and two sides of one triangle are proportional to the two sides of the other
triangle, then the triangles are similar? Give reason for your answer.
Solution:
False
Because, according to SAS similarity criterion, if one angle of a triangle is equal to one angle
of the other triangle and the sides including these angles are proportional, then the two
triangles are similar.
Here, one angle and two sides of two triangles are equal but these sides not including equal
angle, so given statement is not correct.

If the area of triangle formed by the points (0, 5), (0 – 9) and (3, 6) is zero, then the points
are collinear.
Hence, the points are non-collinear.

joining the points A(-l, 1) and B(3, 3).
Solution:

are different.
Hence, given vertices are not the vertices of a parallelogram.
Question 7:
A circle has its centre at the origin and a point P (5, 0) lies on it. The point Q (6, 8) lies
outside the circle.
Solution:
True
First,we draw a circle and a point from the given information
We know that, if the distance of any point from the centre is less than/equal to/ more than the
radius, then the point is inside/on/outside the circle, respectively.
Here, we see that, OQ > OP

If A (2,7) lies on perpendicular bisector of P(6,5) and Q (0, – 4), then AP=AQ
So, A does not lies on the perpendicular bisector of PQ.

Alternate Method
If the point A (2,7) lies on the perpendicular bisector of the line segment, then the point A
satisfy the equation of perpendicular bisector.
Now, we find the equation of perpendicular bisector. For this, we find the slope of
perpendicular bisector.
Hence, the point A (2,7) does not lie on the perpendicular bisector of the line segment.

condition of triangle is satisfy by these sides.
Now, using distance formula between two points,
We see that, AB ≠ BC ≠ CA
and not hold the condition of Pythagoras in a ΔABC.
i.e., (Hypotenuse)2 =( Base)2 + (Perpendicular)2
Hence, the required triangle is scalene because all of its sides are not equal i.e., different to
each other.

Replacing h, k by x, y in above equation, we have 2 x +y+1= 0

Firstly, we plot the points of the line segment on the paper and join them.
We know that, the perpendicular bisector of the line segment AB bisect the segment AB,
i.e.,perpendicular bisector of the line segment AB passes through the mid-point of AB.

False, we know that, if the elevation moves towards the tower, it increases and if its elevation
moves away the tower, it decreases. Hence, if the shadow of a tower is increasing, then the
angle of elevation of a Sun is not increasing.
Question 8:
If a man standing on a plat form 3 m above the surface of a lake observes a cloud and its
reflection in the lake, then the angle of elevation of the cloud is equal to the angle of

Solution:
False
From figure, we observe that, a man standing on a platform at point P, 3 m above the
surface of a lake observes a cloud at point C. Let the height of the cloud from the surface of
the platform is h and angle of elevation of the cloud is .
Now at same point P a man observes a cloud reflection in the lake at this time the height of
reflection of cloud in lake is
(h + 3) because in lake platform height is also added to reflection of cloud.
So,angle of depression is different in the lake from the angle of elevation of the cloud above
the surface of a lake
Alternate Method
False, we know that, if P is a point above the lake at a distance d, then the reflection of the
point in the lake wouid be at the same distanced. Also, the angle of elevation and depression
from the surface of the lake is same.
Here, the man is standing on a platform 3 m above the surface, so its angle of elevation to
the cloud and angle of depression to the reflection of the cloud is not same.
