Class 10 Triangles Important Questions and Answers:

Q1. In ΔPQR, if PS is the internal bisector of ‫ס‬P meeting QR at S and PQ = 15 cm, QS = (3 + x)


cm, SR = (x – 3) cm and PR = 7 cm, then find the value of x.
Options
(a). 2.85 cm
(b). 8.25 cm
(c). 5.28 cm
(d). 8.52 cm
Ans. (b)
Explanation:
Since PS is the internal bisector of ‫ס‬P and it meets QR at S

‫׵‬ PQQS = PRSR


֜ 153+x = 7x-3
֜ 7(3+x)=15(x–3)
֜ 21+7x=15x – 45
֜ 15x–7x=45+21
֜ 8x=66
֜ 4x=33
֜ x=8.25cm

Q2. A boy walks 12 m due east and 5 m due south. How far is he from the starting point ?
Options
(a). 31 m
(b). 26 m
(c). 62 m
(d). 13 m
Ans. (d)
Explanation:
Applying Pythagoras’ Theorem
AC =AB +BC
2 2 2

֜ AC =12 +5
2 2 2

=144+25=169=13 2

֜ AC=13m

Q3. D and E are points on sides AB and AC of triangle ABC such that DE || BC. If AD = 2·4
cm, DB = 3·6 cm and AC = 5 cm, find AE.
Ans. AE = 2 cm
Explanation:
Given, DE || BC, AD = 2.4 cm, DB = 3.6 cm and AC = 5 cm
In ABC, DE || BC
‫׵‬ ADDB = AECE [by basic proportionality theorem]
֜ ADDB = AEAC - AE
֜ 2.43.6 = AE5-AE
֜ 23 = AE5-AE
֜ 3AE + 2AE = 10
֜ 3AE = 10 - 2AE
֜ AE = 105
֜ AE = 2 cm

Q4. Through the mid-point M of the side CD of a parallelogram ABCD, the line BM is drawn
intersecting AC at L and AD produced at E and AD = DE. Prove that EL = 2BL.
Ans. Proved
Explanation:
In ∆BMC and ∆EMD, we have

‫ס‬1 = ‫ס‬2 [Vertically opposite angles]


MC = MD [M being the mid-point of CD]
‫ס‬BCM = ‫ס‬EDM [Alternate angles]
Thus ∆BMC ؆ ∆EMD [by ASA]
֜ BC = DE (cpct)
Again, BC = AD [Opposite sides of the parallelogram ABCD]
‫׵‬ BC = AD = DE
So, AE = AD + DE = 2BC …(i)
Again, in ∆AEL and ∆CBL, ‫ס‬5 = ‫ס‬6 [Vertically opposite angles]
‫ס‬3 = ‫ס‬4 [Alternative angles]
So, ∆AEL ~ ∆CBL
‫׵‬ ELBL = AEBC = 2BCBC = 2 [From (i)]
Thus, EL = 2BL.
Q 5. In ΔABC, AD is the bisector of ‫ס‬A. If AB = 5.6 cm, BD = 3.2 cm and BC = 6 cm, find AC.
Ans. AC = 4.9 cm
Explanation:
Given, AD is the bisector of ‫ס‬A.
Thus, ‫ס‬BAD = ‫ס‬CAD
Now BC = BD + DC
֜ 6 = 3.2 + DC
֜ DC = 2.8 cm
Since AD is the angle bisector of ‫ס‬A,

Hence DBDC = ABAC [Angle bisector theorem]


֜ 3.22.8 = 5.6AC
֜ AC = 5.6 × 2.83.2
= 4.9 cm.
