Question 1.
Use the given letters to write the answer.
i. There are ‘a’ trees in the village Lat. If the number of trees increases every year by ’b‘. then how many trees will there be after ‘x’ years?
ii. For the parade there are y students in each row and x such row are formed. Then, how many students are there for the parade in all ?
iii. The tens and units place of a two digit number is m and n respectively. Write the polynomial which represents the two digit number.
Solution:
i. Number of trees in the village Lat = a
Number of trees increasing each year = b
∴ Number of trees after x years = a + bx
∴ There will be a + bx trees in the village Lat after x years.

ii. Total rows = x
Number of students in each row = y
∴ Total students = Total rows × Number of students in each row
= x × y
= xy
∴ There are in all xy students for the parade.

iii. Digit in units place = n
Digit in tens place = m
∴ The two digit number = 10 x digit in tens place + digit in units place
= 10m + n
∴ The polynomial representing the two digit number is 10m + n.

Question 2.
Add the given polynomials.
i. x³ – 2x² – 9; 5x³ + 2x + 9
ii. -7m⁴+ 5m³ + √2 ; 5m⁴ – 3m³ + 2m² + 3m – 6
iii. 2y² + 7y + 5; 3y + 9; 3y² – 4y – 3
Solution:
i. (x³ – 2x² – 9) + (5x³ + 2x + 9)
= x³ – 2x² – 9 + 5x³ + 2x + 9
= x³ + 5x³ – 2x² + 2x – 9 + 9
= 6x³ – 2x² + 2x

ii. (-7m⁴ + 5m³ + √2 ) + (5m⁴ – 3m³ + 2m² + 3m – 6)
= -7m⁴ + 5m³ + √2 + 5m⁴ – 3m³ + 2m² + 3m – 6
= -7m⁴ + 5m⁴ + 5m³ – 3m³ + 2m² + 3m +√2 – 6
= -2m⁴ + 2m³ + 2m² + 3m + √2 – 6

iii. (2y² + 7y + 5) + (3y + 9) + (3y² – 4y – 3)
= 2y² + 7y + 5 + 3y + 9 + 3y² – 4y – 3
= 2y² + 3y² + 7y + 3y – 4y + 5 + 9 – 3
= 5y² + 6y + 11

Question 3.
Subtract the second polynomial from the first.
i. x² – 9x + √3 ; – 19x + √3 + 7x²
ii. 2ab² + 3a²b – 4ab; 3ab – 8ab² + 2a²b
Solution:
i. x² – 9x + √3 -(- 19x + √3 + 7x²)
= x² – 9x + √3 + 19x – √ 3 – 7x²
= x² – 7x² – 9x + 19x + √3 – √3
= – 6x² + 10x

ii. (2ab² + 3a²b – 4ab) – (3ab – 8ab² + 2a²b)
= 2ab² + 3a²b – 4ab – 3ab + 8ab² – 2a²b
= 2ab² + 8ab² + 3a²b – 2a²b – 4ab – 3ab
= 10ab² + a²b – 7ab

Question 4.
Multiply the given polynomials.
i. 2x; x² – 2x – 1
ii. x⁵ – 1; x³ + 2x² + 2
iii. 2y +1; y² – 2y + 3y
Solution:
i. (2x) x (x² – 2x – 1) = 2x³ – 4x² – 2x

ii. (x⁵ – 1) × (x³ + 2x² + 2)
= x⁵ (x³ + 2x² + 2) -1(x³ + 2x² + 2)
= x⁸ + 2x⁷ + 2x⁵ – x³ – 2x² – 2

iii. (2y + 1) × (y² – 2y³ + 3y)
= 2y(y² – 2y³ + 3y) + 1(y² – 2y³ + 3y)
= 2y³ – 4y⁴ + 6y² + y² – 2y³ + 3y
= -4y⁴ + 2y³ – 2y³ + 6y² + y² + 3y
= -4y⁴ + 7y² + 3y

Question 5.
Divide first polynomial by second polynomial and write the answer in the form ‘Dividend = Divisor x Quotient + Remainder’.
i. x³ – 64; x – 4
ii. 5x⁵ + 4x⁴ – 3x³ + 2x² + 2 ; x² – x
Solution:
i. x³ – 64 = x3 + 0x² + 0x – 64

∴ Quotient = x² + 4x + 16, Remainder = 0
Now, Dividend = Divisor x Quotient + Remainder
∴ x³ – 64 = (x – 4)(x² + 4x + 16) + 0

ii. 5x⁵ + 4x⁴ – 3x³ + 2x² + 2 = 5x⁵ + 4x⁴ – 3x³ + 2x + 0x + 2

∴ Quotient = 5x³ + 9x² + 6x + 8,
Remainder = 8x + 2
Now, Dividend = Divisor x Quotient + Remainder
∴ 5x⁵ + 4x⁴ – 3x³ + 2x² + 2 = (x² – x)(5x³ + 9x² + 6x + 8) + (8x + 2)

Question 6.
Write down the information in the form of algebraic expression and simplify.
There is a rectangular farm with length (2a² + 3b²) metre and breadth (a² + b²) metre. The farmer used a square shaped plot of the farm to build a house. The side of the plot was (a2 – b2) metre. What is the area of the remaining part of the farm? [4 Marks]
Solution:
Length of the rectangular farm = (2a² + 3b²) m
Breadth of the rectangular farm = (a² + b²) m
Area of the farm = length x breadth = (2a² + 3b²) x (a² + b²)
= 2a²(a² + b²) + 3b²(a² + b²)
= 2a² + 2a²b² + 3a²b² + 3b⁴
= (2a⁴ + 5a²b² + 3b⁴) sq. m … (i)
The farmer used a square shaped plot of the farm to build a house.
Side of the square shaped plot = (a² – b²) m
∴ Area of the plot = (side)²
= (a² – b²)²
= (a⁴ – 2a²b² + b⁴) sq m… .(ii)

∴ Area of the remaining farm = Area of the farm – Area of the plot
= (2a⁴ + 5a²b² + 3b⁴) – (a⁴ – 2a²b² + b⁴) … [From (i) and (ii)]
= 2a⁴ + 5a²b² + 3b⁴ – a⁴ + 2a²b² – b⁴
= 2a⁴ – a⁴ + 5a²b² + 2a²b² + 3b⁴ – b⁴
= a⁴ + 7a²b² + 2b⁴
∴ The area of the remaining farm is (a⁴ + 7a²b² + 2b⁴) sq. m.

∴ \(\frac { AB }{ AC } \) = \(\frac { AX }{ AY } \) …[Altemendo]
(A)

Question 2.
In ∆ABC, B-D-C and BD = 7, BC = 20, then find following ratios.

Solution:

Draw AE ⊥ BC, B – E – C.
BC = BD + DC [B – D – C]
∴ 20 = 7 + DC
∴ DC = 20 – 7 = 13

i. ∆ABD and ∆ADC have same height AE.
\(\frac{\mathrm{A}(\Delta \mathrm{ABD})}{\mathrm{A}(\Delta \mathrm{ADC})}=\frac{\mathrm{BD}}{\mathrm{DC}}\) [Triangles having equal height]
∴ \(\frac{A(\Delta A B D)}{A(\Delta A D C)}=\frac{7}{13}\)

ii. ∆ABD and ∆ABC have same height AE.
\(\frac{\mathrm{A}(\Delta \mathrm{ABD})}{\mathrm{A}(\Delta \mathrm{ABC})}=\frac{\mathrm{BD}}{\mathrm{BC}}\) [Triangles having equal height]
∴ \(\frac{A(\Delta A B D)}{A(\Delta A B C)}=\frac{7}{20}\)

iii. ∆ADC and ∆ABC have same height AE.
\(\frac{A(\Delta A D C)}{A(\Delta A B C)}=\frac{D C}{B C}\) [Triangles having equal height]
∴ \(\frac{A(\Delta A D C)}{A(\Delta A B C)}=\frac{13}{20}\)

Question 3.
Ratio of areas of two triangles with equal heights is 2 : 3. If base of the smaller triangle is 6 cm, then what is the corresponding base of the bigger triangle?
Solution:
Let A₁ and A₂ be the areas of two triangles. Let b₁ and b₂ be their corresponding bases.
A₁ : A₂ = 2 : 3

∴ The corresponding base of the bigger triangle is 9 cm.

Solution:

∴ NR = 11 cm

Question 6.
∆MNT ~ ∆QRS. Length of altitude drawn from point T is 5 and length of altitude drawn from point S is 9. Find the ratio \(\frac{A(\Delta M N T)}{A(\Delta Q R S)}\)

Solution:
∆MNT- ∆QRS [Given]
∴ ∠M ≅ ∠Q (i) [Corresponding angles of similar triangles]
In ∆MLT and ∆QPS,
∠M ≅ ∠Q [From (i)]
∠MLT ≅ ∠QPS [Each angle is of measure 90°]
∴ ∆MLT ~ ∆QPS [AA test of similarity]

Question 7.
In the adjoining figure, A – D – C and B – E – C. seg DE || side AB. If AD = 5, DC = 3, BC = 6.4, then find BE.

Solution:
In ∆ABC,
seg DE || side AB [Given]
∴ \(\frac { DC }{ AD } \) = \(\frac { EC }{ BE } \) [Basic proportionality theorem]
∴ \(\frac { 3 }{ 4 } \) = \(\frac { 6.4-x }{ x } \)
∴ 3x = 5 (6.4 – x)
∴ 3x = 32 – 5x
∴ 8x = 32
∴ x = \(\frac { 32 }{ 8 } \) =4
∴ BE = 4 units

Question 8.
In the adjoining figure, seg PA, seg QB, seg RC and seg SD are perpendicular to line AD. AB = 60, BC = 70, CD = 80, PS = 280, then find PQ, QR and RS.

Solution:
seg PA, seg QB, seg RC and seg SD are perpendicular to line AD. [Given]
∴ seg PA || seg QB || seg RC || seg SD (i) [Lines perpendicular to the same line are parallel to each other]
Let the value of PQ be x and that of QR be y.
PS = PQ + QS [P – Q – S]
∴ 280 – x + QS
∴ QS = 280 – x (ii)
Now, seg PA || seg QB || seg SD [From (i)]
∴ \(\frac { AB }{ BD } \) = \(\frac { PQ }{ QS } \) [Property of three parallel lines and their transversals]
∴\(\frac { AB }{ BC+CD } \) = \(\frac { PQ }{ QS } \) [B – C – D]
∴ \(\frac { 60 }{ 70+80 } \) = \(\frac { x }{ 280-x } \)
∴ \(\frac { 60 }{ 150 } \) = \(\frac { x }{ 280-x } \)
∴ \(\frac { 2 }{ 5 } \) = \(\frac { x }{ 280-x } \)
∴ 5x = 2 (280 – x)
∴ 5x = 560 – 2x
∴ 7x = 560
∴ x = \(\frac { 560 }{ 7 } \) = 80
∴ PQ = 80 units
QS = 280 – x [From (ii)]
= 280 – 80
= 200 units
But, QS = QR + RS [Q – R – S]
∴ 200 = y + RS
∴ RS = 200 – y (ii)
Now, seg QB || seg RC || seg SD [From (i)]
∴\(\frac { BC }{ CD } \) = \(\frac { QR }{ RS } \) [Property of three parallel lines and their transversals]
∴ \(\frac { 70 }{ 80 } \) = \(\frac { y }{ 200-y } \)
∴ \(\frac { 7 }{ 8 } \) = \(\frac { y }{ 200-y } \)
∴ 8y = 7(200 – y)
∴ 8y = 1400 – 7y
∴ 15y = 1400
∴ y = \(\frac { 1400 }{ 15 } \) = \(\frac { 280 }{ 3 } \)
∴ QR = \(\frac { 280 }{ 3 } \) units
RS = 200 – 7 [From (iii)]
= 200 – \(\frac { 280 }{ 3 } \)
= \(\frac{200 \times 3-280}{3}\)
= \(\frac { 600-280 }{ 3 } \)
∴ RS = \(\frac { 320 }{ 3 } \) units

Question 10.
In the adjoining figure, bisectors of ∠B and ∠C of ∆ABC intersect each other in point X. Line AX intersects side BC in point Y.
AB = 5, AC = 4, BC = 6, then find \(\frac { AX }{ XY } \).

Solution:
Let the value of BY be x.
BC = BY + YC [B – Y – C]
∴ 6 = x + YC
∴ YC = 6 – x
in ∆BAY, ray BX bisects ∠B. [Given]
∴ \(\frac { AB }{ BY } \) = \(\frac { AX }{ XY } \) (i) [Property of angle bisector of a triangle]
Also, in ∆CAY, ray CX bisects ∠C. [Given]

Question 11.
In ꠸ABCD, seg AD || seg BC. Diagonal AC and diagonal BD intersect each other in point P. Then show that \(\frac { AP }{ PD } \) = \(\frac { PC }{ BP } \)

Solution:
proof:
seg AD || seg BC and BD is their transversal. [Given]
∴ ∠DBC ≅ ∠BDA [Alternate angles]
∴ ∠PBC ≅ ∠PDA (i) [D – P – B]
In ∆PBC and ∆PDA,
∠PBC ≅ ∠PDA [From (i)]
∠BPC ≅ ∠DPA [Vertically opposite angles]
∴ ∆PBC ~ ∆PDA [AA test of similarity]
∴ \(\frac { BP }{ PD } \) = \(\frac { PC }{ AP } \) [Corresponding sides of similar triangles]
∴ \(\frac { AP }{ PD } \) = \(\frac { PC }{ BP } \) [By altemendo]

Question 12.
In the adjoining figure, XY || seg AC. If 2 AX = 3 BX and XY = 9, complete the activity to find the value of AC.

Solution:
2 AX = 3 BX [Given]

Question 13.
In the adjoining figure, the vertices of square DEFG are on the sides of ∆ABC. If ∠A = 90°, then prove that DE² = BD × EC.
(Hint: Show that ∆GBD is similar to ∆ CFE. Use GD = FE = DE.)

Solution:
proof:
꠸DEFG is a square.
∴ DE = EF = GF = GD (i) [Sides of a square]
∠GDE = ∠DEF = 90° [Angles of a square]
∴ seg GD ⊥ side BC, seg FE ⊥ side BC (ii)
In ∆BAC and ∆BDG,
∠BAC ≅ ∠BDG [From (ii), each angle is of measure 90°]
∠ABC ≅ ∠DBG [Common angle]
∴ ∆BAC – ∆BDG (iii) [AA test of similarity]
In ∆BAC and ∆FEC,
∠BAC ≅ ∠FEC [From (ii), each angle is measure 90°]
∠ACB ≅ ∠ECF [Common angle]
∴ ∆BAC – ∆FEC (iv) [AA test of similarity]
∴ ∆BDG – ∆FEC [From (iii) and (iv)]
∴ \(\frac { BD }{ EF } \) = \(\frac { GD }{ EC } \) (v) [Corresponding sides of similar triangles]
∴ \(\frac { BD }{ DE } \) = \(\frac { DE }{ EC } \) [From (i) and (v)]
∴ DE² = BD × EC

Question 2.
Write the following numbers in \(\frac { p }{ q }\) form.
i. 0.555
ii. \(29.\overline { 568 }\)
iii. 9.315315…..
iv. 357.417417…..
v . \(30.\overline { 219 }\)
Solution:

ii. Let x = \(29.\overline { 568 }\) …(i)
x = 29.568568…
Since, three numbers i.e. 5, 6 and 8 are repeating after the decimal point.
Thus, multiplying both sides by 1000,
1000x = 29568.568568…
1000 x= \(29568.\overline { 568 }\) …(ii)
Subtracting (i) from (ii),
1000x – x = \(29568.\overline { 568 }\) – \(29.\overline { 568 }\)
∴ 999x = 29539

iii. Let x = 9.315315 … = \(9.\overline { 315 }\) …(i)
Since, three numbers i.e. 3, 1 and 5 are repeating after the decimal point.
Thus, multiplying both sides by 1000,
1000x = 9315.315315…
∴1000x = \(9315.\overline { 315 }\) …(ii)
Subtracting (i) from (ii),
1000x – x = \(9315.\overline { 315 }\) – \(9.\overline { 315 }\)
∴ 999x = 9306

iv. Let x = 357.417417… = \(357.\overline { 417 }\) …(i)
Since, three numbers i.e. 4, 1 and 7 are repeating after the decimal point.
Thus, multiplying both sides by 1000,
1000x = 357417.417417…
∴ 1000x = 357417.417 …(ii)
Subtracting (i) from (ii),
1000x – x = \(357417.\overline { 417 }\) – \(357.\overline { 417 }\)
∴ 999x = 357060

v. Let x = \(30.\overline { 219 }\) …(i)
∴ x = 30.219219
Since, three numbers i.e. 2, 1 and 9 are repeating after the decimal point.
Thus, multiplying both sides by 1000,
1000x= 30219.219219…
∴ 1000x = \(30219.\overline { 219 }\) …(ii)
Subtracting (i) from (ii),
1000x – x = \(30219.\overline { 219 }\) – \(30.\overline { 219 }\)
∴ 999x = 30189

Show that 5 + √7 is an irrational number. [3 Marks]
Solution:
Let us assume that 5 + √7 is a rational number. So, we can find co-prime integers ‘a’ and ‘b’ (b ≠ 0) such that

Since, ‘a’ and ‘b’ are integers, \(\sqrt [ a ]{ b }\) – 5 is a rational number and so √7 is a rational number.
∴ But this contradicts the fact that √7 is an irrational number.
Our assumption that 5 + √7 is a rational number is wrong.
∴ 5 + √7 is an irrational number.

Now, 18√2 x √2 = 18 x 2 = 36, which is a rational number.
∴ √2 is the simplest form of the rationalising factor of 3√72.

vi. 4√11
4√11 x √11 = 4 x 11 = 44, which is a rational number.

∴ \(\frac{\mathrm{A}(\Delta \mathrm{LMN})}{\mathrm{A}(\Delta \mathrm{PQR})}=\frac{\mathrm{MN}^{2}}{\mathrm{QR}^{2}}\) (ii) [Theorem of areas of similar triangles]
∴ \(\frac{\mathrm{MN}^{2}}{\mathrm{QR}^{2}}=\frac{9}{16}\) [From (i) and (ii)]
∴ \(\frac{M N}{Q R}=\frac{3}{4}\) [Taking square root of both sides]
∴ \(\frac{\mathrm{MN}}{20}=\frac{3}{4}\)
∴ MN = \(\frac{20 \times 3}{4}\)

Solution:
i. |3x – 5| = 1
∴ 3x – 5 = 1 or 3x – 5 = -1
∴ 3x = 1 + 5 or 3x = -1 + 5
∴ 3x = 6 or 3x = 4

ii. |7 – 2x| = 5
∴ 7 – 2x = 5 or 7 – 2x = -5
∴ 7 – 5 = 2x or 7 + 5 = 2x
∴ 2x = 2 or 2x = 12
∴ x = \(\frac { 2 }{ 2 }\) or x = \(\frac { 12 }{ 2 }\)
∴ x = 1 or x = 6

∴ 8 – x = 10 or 8 – x = -10 .. [Multiplying both the sides by 2]
∴ 8 – 10 = x or 8 + 10 = x
∴ x = -2 or x = 18

Solution:
In ∆ABC and ∆EDC,
∠ABC ≅ ∠EDC [Each angle is of measure 75°]
∠ACB ≅ ∠ECD [Common angle]
∴ ∆ABC ~ ∆EDC [AA test of similarity]
One to one correspondence is

Question 2.
Are the triangles in the adjoining figure similar? If yes, by which test?

Solution:
In ∆PQR and ∆LMN,
\(\frac { PQ }{ LM } \) = \(\frac { 6 }{ 3 } \) = \(\frac { 2 }{ 1 } \) (i)
\(\frac { QR }{ MN } \) = \(\frac { 8 }{ 4 } \) = \(\frac { 2 }{ 1 } \) (ii)
\(\frac { PR }{ LN } \) = \(\frac { 10 }{ 5 } \) = \(\frac { 2 }{ 1 } \) (iii)
∴ \(\frac { PQ }{ LM } \) = \(\frac { QR }{ MN } \) = \(\frac { PR }{ LN } \) [From (i), (ii) and (iii)]
∴ ∆PQR – ∆LMN [SSS test of similarity]

Question 3.
As shown in the adjoining figure, two poles of height 8 m and 4 m are perpendicular to the ground. If the length of shadow of smaller pole due to sunlight is 6 m, then how long will be the shadow of the bigger pole at the same time?

Solution:
Here, AC and PR represents the bigger and smaller poles, and BC and QR represents their shadows respectively.
Now, ∆ACB – ∆PRQ [ ∵ Vertical poles and their shadows form similar figures]
∴ \(\frac { CB }{ RQ } \) = \(\frac { AC }{ PR } \) [Corresponding sides of similar triangles]
∴ \(\frac { x }{ 6 } \) = \(\frac { 8 }{ 4 } \)
∴ \(x=\frac{8 \times 6}{4}\)
∴ x = 12 m
∴ The shadow of the bigger pole will be 12 metres long at that time.

∠ACP ≅ ∠BCQ [Common angle]
∴ ∆CPA ~ ∆CQB [AA test of similarity]
∴\(\frac { AC }{ BC } \) = \(\frac { AP }{ BQ } \) [Corresponding sides of similar triangles]
∴ \(\frac { AC }{ 12 } \) = \(\frac { 7 }{ 8 } \)
∴ AC = \(x=\frac{12 \times 7}{8}\)
∴ AC = 10.5 Units

∴ SR = 5 PQ

\(\frac { QM }{ RM } \) = \(\frac { 3.5 }{ 1.5 } \) = \(\frac { 35 }{ 15 } \) = \(\frac { 7 }{ 3 } \) (ii)
∴ \(\frac { PQ }{ PR } \) = \(\frac { QM }{ RM } \) [From (i) and (ii)]
∴ Ray PM is the bisector of ∠QPR. [Converse of angle bisector theorem]

ii. In ∆PQR,
\(\frac { PQ }{ PR } \) = \(\frac { 10 }{ 7 } \) (i)
\(\frac { QM }{ RM } \) = \(\frac { 8 }{ 6 } \) = \(\frac { 4 }{ 3 } \) (ii)

∴ Ray PM is not the bisector of ∠QPR

iii. In ∆PQR,
\(\frac { PQ }{ PR } \) = \(\frac { 9 }{ 10 } \) (i)
\(\frac { QM }{ RM } \) = \(\frac { 3.6 }{ 4 } \) = \(\frac { 36 }{ 40 } \) = \(\frac { 9 }{ 10 } \) (ii)
∴ \(\frac { PQ }{ PR } \) = \(\frac { QM }{ RM } \) [From (i) and (ii)]

Question 2.
In ∆PQR PM = 15, PQ = 25, PR = 20, NR = 8. State whether line NM is parallel to side RQ. Give reason.

Solution:
PN + NR = PR [P – N – R]
∴ PN + 8 = 20

∴ BQ = 17.5 units

Question 6.
Find QP using given information in the figure.

Solution:
In ∆MNP, seg NQ bisects ∠N. [Given]
∴\(\frac { PN }{ MN } \) = \(\frac { QP }{ MQ } \) [Property of angle bisector of a triangle]
∴\(\frac { 40 }{ 25 } \) = \(\frac { QP }{ 14 } \)
∴ QP = \(\frac { 40\times 14 }{ 25 } \)
∴ QP = 22.4 units

Question 7.
In the adjoining figure, if AB || CD || FE, then find x and AE.

Solution:
line AB || line CD || line FE [Given]
∴\(\frac { BD }{ DF } \) = \(\frac { AC }{ CE } \) [Property of three parallel lines and their transversals]
∴\(\frac { 8 }{ 4 } \) = \(\frac { 12 }{ X } \)
∴ X = \(\frac { 12\times 4 }{ 8 } \)
∴ X = 6 units
Now, AE AC + CE [A – C – E]
= 12 + x
= 12 + 6
= 18 units
∴ x = 6 units and AE = 18 units

Question 8.
In ∆LMN, ray MT bisects ∠LMN. If LM = 6, MN = 10, TN = 8, then find LT.

Solution:
In ∆LMN, ray MT bisects ∠LMN. [Given]
∴\(\frac { LM }{ MN } \) = \(\frac { LT }{ TN } \) [Property of angle bisector of a triangle]

∴\(\frac { x }{ x+5 } \) = \(\frac { x-2 }{ x+2 } \)
∴ x(x + 2) = (x – 2)(x + 5)
∴ x2 + 2x = x2 + 5x – 2x – 10
∴ 2x = 3x – 10
∴ 10 = 3x – 2x

Note: Students should bisect the remaining angles and verify that the ratios are equal.

Question 2.
Write another proof of the above theorem (property of an angle bisector of a triangle). Use the following properties and write the proof.
i. The areas of two triangles of equal height are proportional to their bases.
ii. Every point on the bisector of an angle is equidistant from the sides of the angle. (Textbook pg. no. 9)

Given: In ∆CAB, ray AD bisects ∠A.
To prove: \(\frac { AB }{ AC } \) = \(\frac { BD }{ DC } \)
Construction: Draw seg DM ⊥ seg AB A – M – B and seg DN ⊥ seg AC, A – N – C.
Solution:
Proof:
In ∆ABC,
Point D is on angle bisector of ∠A. [Given]
∴DM = DN [Every point on the bisector of an angle is equidistant from the sides of the angle]
\(\frac{A(\Delta A B D)}{A(\Delta A C D)}=\frac{A B \times D M}{A C \times D N}\) [Ratio of areas of two triangles is equal to the ratio of the product of their bases and corresponding heights]
∴ \(\frac{A(\Delta A B D)}{A(\Delta A C D)}=\frac{A B}{A C}\) (ii) [From (i)]
Also, ∆ABD and ∆ACD have equal height.
∴ \(\frac{\mathrm{A}(\Delta \mathrm{ABD})}{\mathrm{A}(\Delta \mathrm{ACD})}=\frac{\mathrm{BD}}{\mathrm{CD}}\) (iii) [Triangles having equal height]
∴\(\frac{\mathrm{AB}}{\mathrm{AC}}=\frac{\mathrm{BD}}{\mathrm{DC}}\) [From (ii) and (iii)]

Question 1.
Show that 4√2 is an irrational number.
Solution:
Let us assume that 4√2 is a rational number .
So, we can find co-prime integers ‘a’ and ‘b’ (b ≠ 0) such that
4√2 = \(\frac { a }{ b }\)
∴ √2 = \(\frac { a }{ 4b }\)
Since, a and b are integers, \(\frac { a }{ 4b }\) is a rational number and so √2 is a rational number.

Alternate Proof:
Let us assume that 4√2 is a rational number.
So, we can find co-prime integers ‘a’ and ‘b’ (b ≠ 0) such that

Since, 32 divides a², so 32 divides ‘a’ as well.
So, we write a = 32c, where c is an integer.
∴ a² = (32c)² … [Squaring both the sides]
∴ 32b² = 32 x 32c² …[From(i)]
∴ b² = 32c²
∴ c² = \(\frac { { b }^{ 2 } }{ 32 }\)
Since, 32 divides b², so 32 divides ‘b’.
∴ 32 divides both a and b.
a and b have at least 32 as a common factor.
But this contradicts the fact that a and b have no common factor other than 1.
∴ Our assumption that 4√2 is a rational number is wrong.
∴ 4√2 is an irrational number.

Question 2.
Prove that 3 + √5 is an irrational number.
Solution:
Let us assume that 3 + √5 is a rational number.
So, we can find co-prime integers ‘a’ and ‘b’ (b ≠ 0) such that

Since, a and b are integers, \(\frac { a }{ b }\) – 3 is a rational
number and so √5 is a rational number.
But this contradicts the fact that √5 is an irrational number.
∴ Our assumption that 3 – √5 is a rational number is wrong.
3 + √5 is an irrational number.

Question 3.
Represent the numbers √5 and √10 on a number line.
Solution:
i. Draw a number line and take point A at 2.
Draw AB perpendicular to the number line such that AB = 1 unit.
In ∆OAB, m∠OAB = 90°
∴ (OB)² = (OA)² + (AB)² … [Pythagoras theorem]
= (2)² + (1)²
∴ (OB)² = 5
∴ OB = √5 units. … [Taking square root of both sides]
With O as centre and radius equal to OB, draw an arc to intersect the number line at C.

The coordinate of the point C is √5 .

ii. Draw a number line and take point Pat 3.
Draw PR perpendicular to the number line such that PR = 1 unit.
In ∆OPR, m∠OPR = 90°
∴ (OR)² = (OP)² + (PR)² … [Pythagoras theorem]
= (3)² + (1)²
∴ (OR)² = 10
∴ OR= √10units. … [Taking square root of both sides]
With O as centre and radius equal to OR, draw an arc to intersect the number line at Q.

The coordinate of the point Q is √10 .

Question 4.
Write any three rational numbers between the two numbers given below.
i. 0.3 and – 0.5
ii. – 2.3 and – 2.33
iii. 5.2 and 5.3
iv. – 4.5 and – 4.6
Solution:
i. 0.3 = 0.30 and -0.5 = -0.50
We know that,
0. 30 >0.29 >….. >0.10>.. > – 0.10>…. > -0.30>…> -0.50
∴ the three rational numbers between 0.3 and -0.5 are -0.3, -0.1 and 0.1.

Alternate Method:
A rational number between two rational numbers a and b


∴ the three rational numbers between 0.3 and -0.5 are -0.3, -0.1 and 0.1.

ii. -2.3 = -2.300 and -2.33 = -2.330
We know that,
-2.300 > -2.301>… > -2.310>…> -2.320>…> -2.330
∴ the three rational numbers between -2.3 and -2.33 are -2.310, -2.320 and -2.325.

iii. 5.2 = 5.20 and 5.3 = 5.30
We know that,
5.20 < 5.21 < 5.22 < 5.23 < … < 5.30
∴ the three rational numbers between 5.2 and 5.3 are 5.21, 5.22 and 5.23.

iv. -4.5 = -4.50 and -4.6 = -4.60 We know that,
-4.50 > -4.51 > -4.52 >… > – 4.55 >…>- 4.60
∴ the three rational numbers between -4.5 and -4.6 are -4.51, -4.52 and -4.55.
