  2. Steps of construction (i) Draw a ray AB at the point A. (ii) Taking A as centre and a convenient radius, draw an arc which intersect AB at C. (iii) Taking C as center and with the same radius, draw an arc which intersect the previous arc at E. (iv) Similarly, taking E as center and with the same radRead more

    Steps of construction
    (i) Draw a ray AB at the point A.
    (ii) Taking A as centre and a convenient radius, draw an arc which intersect AB at C.
    (iii) Taking C as center and with the same radius, draw an arc which intersect the previous arc at E.
    (iv) Similarly, taking E as center and with the same radius, draw an arc which intersect at F.
    (v) Taking E and F as centre, draw arcs with equal radius (more than half of EF), which intersect at H.
    (vi) Draw a ray AG. ∠PAQ is the required angle of 90°.
    Justification: Join AE, CE, EF, FG, and GE.
    AC = CB = AE [∵ By Construction]
    ⇒ ΔACE is an equilateral Triangle.
    ⇒ ∠CAE = 60 …(1)
    Similarly, ∠AEF = 60° …(2)
    Hence, ∠CAE = ∠AEF [∵ from (1) and (2)]
    ∠CAE and ∠AEF alternate angles, therefore
    FE ∥ AC
    Here, FG = EG [∵ By Construction]
    ⇒ Point G lies on the perpendicular bisector of EF. ⇒ ∠GIE = 90°
    Hence, ∠GAB = ∠GIE = 90° [∵ corresponding angles]

    (vi) From the point A, draw a ray AF, which intersects arc DE at G.
    (vii) Taking C and G as centre. Draw arcs with equal radius (more than half of CG), which intersect at H.
    (viii) From the point A, draw a ray of 45°.
    Justification: Join GH and CH.
    In ΔAGH and ΔACH,
    GH = CH [∵ Arcs of equal radii]
    AG = AC [∵ Radii of same circle]
    AH = AH [∵ Common]
    So, ΔAGH ≅ ΔACH [∵ SSS Congruency rule]
    ∠GAH = ∠CAH [∵ CPCT]
    Hence, ∠GAH = ∠CAH = 45°

  4. Here, the sides of triangle ABC are a = 28 cm, b = 26 and c = 30 cm. So, the semi-perimeter of triangle S = a+b+c/2 = 28+26+30+ = 84/2 = 42 cm Therefore, using Heron's formula, area of triangle = √s(s - a)(s -b)(s -c) = √42(42 -28)(42 -26)(42 -30) = √42(14)(16)(12) = √112896 = 366 cm² We know that tRead more

    Here, the sides of triangle ABC are a = 28 cm, b = 26 and c = 30 cm.
    So, the semi-perimeter of triangle S = a+b+c/2 = 28+26+30+ = 84/2 = 42 cm
    Therefore, using Heron’s formula, area of triangle = √s(s – a)(s -b)(s -c)
    = √42(42 -28)(42 -26)(42 -30) = √42(14)(16)(12) = √112896
    = 366 cm²
    We know that the area of a parallelogram = base × corresponting hieght
    According to question:
    Area of parallelogram = Area of triangle
    ⇒ base × corresponding height = 336
    ⇒ 28 × corresponding height = 336
    ⇒ corresponding height = 336/28 = 12 cm.

  5. Join the diagonal AC of quadrilateral ABCD. Here, the sides of triangle ABC are a = 30 m, b = 30 m and c = 48 m. So, the semi-perimeter of triangle S = a + b + c/2 = 30 + 30 + 48/2 = 108/2 = 54 m. Therefore, area of triangle = √s(s - a)(s -b)(s -c) = √54(54 -30)(54 -30)(54 -48) = √54(24)(24)(6) = √1Read more

    Join the diagonal AC of quadrilateral ABCD.
    Here, the sides of triangle ABC are a = 30 m, b = 30 m and c = 48 m.
    So, the semi-perimeter of triangle
    S = a + b + c/2 = 30 + 30 + 48/2 = 108/2 = 54 m.
    Therefore, area of triangle = √s(s – a)(s -b)(s -c)
    = √54(54 -30)(54 -30)(54 -48) = √54(24)(24)(6) = √186624 = 432 m²
    Hence, area of quadrilateral = 2 × 432 = 864 m²
    Therefore, the area grazed by each cow = Total area/number of cows = 864/18 = 48 m²
