Question 1

Question:   ABC is a triangle in which AB=AC. D is a point on BC produced. Prove that AD>AB.

Answer:    Given:

AB=AC
D is a point on BC produced.
To prove:
AD>AB
Proof
AB=AC (given)




Question 2

Question:   In the adjoining diagram, name the shortest and the longest side. B is the greatest angle.

Answer:   
Angle A is the least angle.

Question 3

Question:  

Answer:   


( exterior angle = sum of int. opposite angle)





Question 4

Question:  

Answer:    To prove:

Proof:




Combining relation (i) and (ii), we can write


Question 5

Question:  


Answer:    Solution:













Question 6

Question:  


Answer:    Data:
In quadrilateral ABCD, AD is the largest side and BC is the shortest side.
To prove:

Construction:
Join BD and AC.
Proof:

In D ABD, AD > AB ( given)


DC > BC


i.e., ABC (or B) > ADC (or D)
In D ADC,
AD>DC (given)


AB>BC ( given)




Question 7

Question:  

Answer:    Given:

To prove:

Proof:


(corollary on theorem on
exterior angle of a triangle)


Question 8

Question:   ABCD is a quadrilateral in which AB=BC, AD=DC and AD>AB.

Answer:    Given:
In the quadrilateral ABCD, AB=BC, AD=DC and AD>AB
To prove:

Construction:
Join BD.
Proof:

In D ABD, AD>AB ( given)


CD > BC
S since CD=AD and BC=AB and AD>AB

By adding (i) and (ii), we get


Question 9

Question:   In the adjoining figure, AGH is an isosceles triangle with base GH. Prove that KH>KG.

Answer:    Given:
In D AGH, AG=AH
To prove:
KH > KG
Proof:

In D AGH,
AG=AH ( given)








Question 10

Question:   In the adjoining figure, LM is the base of isosceles D KLM. Prove that KM>XL.

Answer:    Given:
In D KLM ,
KL=KM
To prove:
KM > XL

Proof:

KL > XL
(theorem on inequality KLM is an isosceles triangle)
But KL = KM
\ KM > XL
