## Tamilnadu Samacheer Kalvi 9th Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Geometry Ex 4.1

Question 1.
In the figure, AB is parallel to CD, find x.

Solution:
(i) Through T draw TE || AB.

∴ ∠BAT + ∠ATE = 180° (AB || TE)
140° + ∠ATE = 180°
∠ATE = 180°- 140° = 40°
Similarly ∠ETC + ∠TCD = 180° (TE || CD)
∠ETC+150° = 180°
∠ETC = 180°- 150° = 30°
x = ∠ATE + ∠ETC
= 40°+ 30° = 70°
x = 70°

(ii) Draw TE || AB.

∠ABT + ∠ETB = 180° (AB || TE)
48° + ∠ETB = 180°
∠ETB = 180° – 48° = 132°
Similarly ∠CDT + ∠DTE = 180°
24° + ∠DTE = 180°
∴ ∠DTE = 180° – 24°
= 156°
∴ ∠BTE + ∠ETD = 132° + 156°
= 288°
x = 288°

(iii) In the given figure AB || CD, AD is the transversal.
= 53° (alternate angles are equal)
In ΔECD, ∠D = ∠A = 53° (Alternate angles are equal)
∠E + ∠C + ∠D = 180° (sum of the angles of a triangle)
x° + 38° + 53° = 180°
x° = 180°- 91°
= 89°
x = 89°

Question 2.
The angles of a triangle are in the ratio 1 : 2 : 3, find the measure of each angle of the triangle.
Solution:
The ratio of the angles of a triangle = 1 : 2 : 3.
Let the angles of a triangle be x, 2x and 3x.
x + 2x + 3x = 180° (Total angle of a triangle is 180°)
6x = 180°
x = $$\frac{180°}{6}$$
= 30°
x = 30°; 2x = 2 × 30° = 60°; 3x = 3 × 30° = 90°
Measures of the angles of a triangle = 30°, 60° and 90°.

Question 3.
Consider the given pairs of triangles and say whether each pair is that of congruent triangles. If the triangles are congruent, say ‘how’; if they are not congruent say ‘why’ and also say if a small modification would make them congruent:

(i) In ΔPQR and ΔABC
PQ = AB (Given)
RQ = BC (Given)
ΔABC is not congruent to ΔPQR.
If PR = AC then ΔABC ≅ ΔPQR

(ii) In ΔABD and ΔCDB
AB = CD (Given)
BD is common
By SSS congruency
ΔABD ≅ ΔCDB

(iii) In ΔPXY and ΔPXZ
PX is common.
XY = XZ (Given)
PY = PZ (Given)
By SSS congruency
ΔPXY ≅ ΔPXZ

(iv) In the given figure BD bisect AC
In ΔAOB and ΔOCD
OA = OC (Given)
∠AOB = ∠DOC (vertically opposite angles)
∠B = ∠D (Given)
By ASA congruency ΔAOB ≅ ΔOCD

(v) In the given figure AC and BD bisect each other at O.
∴ OA = OC (Given); OB = OD (Given)
∠AOB = ∠COD (vertically opposite angles)
By SAS congruency
ΔAOB ≅ ΔOCD

(vi) In the given figure
AB = AC (Given)
BM = MC (AM is the median of the ΔABC)
AM is common (By SSS congruency)
∴ ΔABM ≅ ΔACM

Question 4.
ΔABC and ΔDEF are two triangles in which AB = DF, ∠ACB = 70°, ∠ABC = 60°; ∠DEF = 70° and ∠EDF = 60°. Prove that the triangles are congruent.
Solution:

In ΔABC ∠B = 60° and ∠C = 70°
∴ ∠A = 180° – (60° + 70°)
= 180° – 130°
= 50°
In ΔDEF ∠E = 70° and ∠D = 60°
∠F = 180° – (70° + 60°)
= 180° – 130°
= 50°
∠A = ∠F = 50°
∠B = ∠D = 60°
∠C = ∠E = 70°
By AAA congruency
ΔABC ≅ ΔFDE
(or)
∠B = ∠D = 60°
∠C = ∠E = 70°
AB = FE
By ASA congruency
ΔABC ≅ ΔFDE

Question 5.
Find all the three angles of the ΔABC.

Solution:
∠A + ∠B = ∠ACD (An exterior angle of a triangle is sum of its interior opposite angles)
x + 35 + 2x – 5 = 4x – 15
3x + 30 = 4x – 15
30 + 15 = 4x – 3x
45° = x
∠A = x + 35°
= 45° + 35°
= 80°
∠B = 2x – 5
= 2(45°) – 5°
= 90° – 5°
= 85°
∠ACD = 4x – 15
= 4 (45°) – 15°
= 180° – 15°
= 165°
∠ACB = 180° – ∠ACD
= 180° – 165°
= 15°
∠A = 80°, ∠B = 85° and ∠C = 15°.
