MCQ
In triangles ABC and DEF, $\angle\text{A}=\angle\text{E}=40^\circ,$ AB : ED = AC : EF and $\angle\text{F}=65^\circ,$ then $\angle\text{B}=$
- A35°
- B65°
- ✓75°
- D85°
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
75°
In $\triangle\text{ABC}$ and $\triangle\text{DEF},$
$\angle\text{A}=\angle\text{E}=40^\circ$
AB : ED = AC : EF, $\angle\text{F}=65^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{AB}}{\text{ED}}=\frac{\text{AC}}{\text{EF}}$
$\because$ In $\triangle\text{ABC}$ and $\triangle\text{EDF},$
$\angle\text{A}=\angle\text{E}$ (each = 40°)
$\frac{\text{AB}}{\text{ED}}=\frac{\text{AC}}{\text{EF}}$ (given)
$\therefore\triangle\text{ABC}\sim\triangle\text{EDF}$ (SAS criterion)
$\therefore\angle\text{C}=\angle\text{F}=65^\circ$
and $\angle\text{B}=\angle\text{D}$
But $\angle\text{A}+\angle\text{B}+\angle\text{C}=180^\circ$ (Sum of angles of a triangle)
$\Rightarrow40^\circ+65^\circ+\angle\text{C}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow105^\circ+\angle\text{C}=180^\circ$
$\therefore\angle\text{C}=180^\circ-105^\circ=75^\circ$
$\angle\text{A}=\angle\text{E}=40^\circ$
AB : ED = AC : EF, $\angle\text{F}=65^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{AB}}{\text{ED}}=\frac{\text{AC}}{\text{EF}}$
$\because$ In $\triangle\text{ABC}$ and $\triangle\text{EDF},$
$\angle\text{A}=\angle\text{E}$ (each = 40°)
$\frac{\text{AB}}{\text{ED}}=\frac{\text{AC}}{\text{EF}}$ (given)
$\therefore\triangle\text{ABC}\sim\triangle\text{EDF}$ (SAS criterion)
$\therefore\angle\text{C}=\angle\text{F}=65^\circ$
and $\angle\text{B}=\angle\text{D}$
But $\angle\text{A}+\angle\text{B}+\angle\text{C}=180^\circ$ (Sum of angles of a triangle)
$\Rightarrow40^\circ+65^\circ+\angle\text{C}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow105^\circ+\angle\text{C}=180^\circ$
$\therefore\angle\text{C}=180^\circ-105^\circ=75^\circ$
