    Problem Set 3

    Question 1.
    Choose the correct alternative answer for the following questions.

    i. If two sides of a triangle are 5 cm and 1.5 cm, the length of its third side
    cannot be ____.
    (A) 3.7 cm
    (B) 4.1 cm
    (C) 3.8 cm
    (D) 3.4 cm
    Answer:
    Sum of the lengths of two sides of a triangle > length of the third side
    Here, 1.5 cm + 3.4 cm = 4.9 cm < 5 cm
    ∴ Third side ≠ 3.4 cm

    (D) 3.4 cm
    ii. In ∆PQR, if ∠R > ∠Q, then _____ .
    (A) QR > PR
    (B) PQ > PR
    (C) PQ < PR
    (D) QR < PR
    Answer:
    (B) PQ > PR
    iii. In ∆TPQ, if ∠T = 65°, ∠P = 95° , Which of the following is a true statement?
    (A) PQ < TP
    (B) PQ < TQ
    (C) TQ < TP < PQ
    (D) PQ < TP < TQ
    Answer:
    ∠Q = 180° – (95° + 65°) = 20°
    ∴ ∠Q < ∠T < ∠P
    ∴ PT < PQ < TQ
    (B) PQ < TQ
    Question 2. Given: In isosceles ∆ABC, AB = AC. seg BD and seg CE
    ∆ABC is isosceles in which AB are the medians of ∆ABC.
    = AC. Seg BD and seg CE are To prove: BD = CE
    medians. Show that BD = CE. Proof:
    AE = AB …..(i) [E is the midpoint of side AB]
    AD = AC ….(ii) [D is the midpoint of side AC]
    Also, AB = AC [Given]
    ⸫ AB = AC [Multiplying both sides by ]
    ∴ AE = AD ….(iii) [From (i) and(ii) ]
    In ∆ADB and ∆AEC,
    seg AB ≅ seg AC [Given]
    ∠BAD ≅ ∠CAE [Common angle]
    seg AD ≅ seg AE [from iii ]
    ∴ ∆ADB ≅ ∆AEC [SAS test]
    ∴ seg BD ≅ seg CE [ c.s.s.t]
    ∴ BD = CE
    Question 3.
    In ∆PQR, if PQ > PR and bisectors of Given: In ΔPQR, PQ > PR and bisectors of ∠Q and
    ∠Q and ∠R intersect at S. Show that ∠R intersect at S.
    SQ > SR.
    To prove: SQ > SR
    Proof:
    ∠SQR = ∠PQR ….(i) [Ray QS bisects ∠PQR]
    ∠SRQ = ∠PRQ ….(ii) [Ray RS bisects ∠PRQ]
    In ∆PQR,
    PQ > PR [Given]
    ∴ ∠PRQ > ∠PQR [Angle opposite to greater side is
    greater.]
    ∴ ∠PRQ > ∠PQR [Multiplying both sides by ]
    ∴ ∠SRQ > ∠SQR ….(iii) [From (i) and (ii)]
    In ∆SQR,
    ∠SRQ > ∠SQR [From (iii)]
    ∴ SQ > SR [Side opposite to greater angle is greater]
    Given: Points D and E are on side BC of ∆ABC,
    Question 4. such that BD = CE and AD = AE.
    In the adjoining figure, points D and E are
    on side BC of ∆ABC, such that BD = CE To prove: ∆ABD ≅ ∆ACE
    and AD AE. Show that ∆ABD ≅ ∆ACE.
    Proof:In ∆ADE,seg AD = seg AE [Given]
    ∴ ∠AED = ∠ADE …(i) [Isosceles triangle theorem]
    Now, ∠ADE + ∠ADB = 180° …(ii) [Angles in a linear
    pair]
    ∴ ∠AED + ∠AEC = 180° ….(iii) [Angles in a linear pair]
    ∴ ∠ADE + ∠ADB = ∠AED + ∠AEC [From (ii) and
    (iii)]
    ∴ ∠ADE + ∠ADB = ∠ADE + ∠AEC [From (i)]
    ∴ ∠ADB = ∠AEC ….(iv) [Eliminating ∠ADE from both
    sides]
    In ∆ABD and ∆ACE,
    seg BD ≅ seg CE [Given]
    ∠ADB = ∠AEC [From (iv)]

    Proof:
    In ∆PQS,
    PQ + QS > PS …..(i) [Sum of any two sides of a triangle is greater
    than the third side]
    Similarly, in ∆PSR,
    PR + SR > PS …(ii) [Sum of any two sides of a triangle is greater
    than the third side]
    Adding (i) and (ii)
    ∴ PQ + QS + PR + SR > PS + PS

    ∴ ∠ADB > ∠BAD ….(iii) [From (i) and (ii)]
    In ΔABD,
    ∠ADB > ∠BAD [From (iii)]

    seg PT || seg SR [Construction]
    and seg PR is their transversal.
    ∴ ∠RPT = ∠PRS …..(iii) [Alternate angles]
    ∴ ∠PRS = ∠PSR …(iv) [From (i), (ii) and (iii)]
    In ∆PSR,
    ∠PRS = ∠PSR [From (iv)]
    ∴ PS = PR [Converse of isosceles triangle theorem]

    the measures of the angles of a triangle is ∴ ∠AED = 180° – ∠C – ∠A ……(iii)
    180°] ∴ ∠DAE = 90° – 180°+∠C + ∠A
    ∴ ∠DAE + 90° + ∠AED = 180° [∵ AD ⊥ [Substituting (iii) in (ii)]
    BC] ∴ ∠DAE = ∠C + ∠A – 90° …..(iv)
    ∴ ∠DAE = 180° – 90° – ∠AED In ∆ABC,
    ∴ ∠DAE = 90° – ∠AED ….(ii) ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
