Question 32 Marks
Draw any triangle $ABC$. Use $ASA$ condition to construct other triangle congruent to it.
Answer


We have drawn, $\triangle\text{ABC}$ with $\angle\text{ABC}=65^\circ$ and $\angle\text{ACB}=70^\circ$
We now construct $\triangle\text{PQR}\cong\triangle\text{ABC}$ has $\angle\text{PQR}=65^\circ$ and $\angle\text{PRQ}=70^\circ$
Also we construct $\triangle\text{PQR}$ such that $BC = QR$
Therefore by $ASA$ the two triangles are congruent.

Question 52 Marks
In Figure, $AX$ bisects $\angle\text{BAC}$ as well as $∠BDC$. State the three facts needed to ensure that $\triangle\text{ACD}\cong\triangle\text{ABD}$.
Answer
As per the given conditions,
$\angle\text{CAD}=\angle\text{BAD}$ and
$\angle\text{CDA}=\angle\text{BDA}$ (because $AX$ bisects $\angle\text{BAC}$)
$AD = DA$ (common)
Therefore, by $ASA$, $\triangle\text{ACD}\cong\triangle\text{ABD}$.

Question 82 Marks
Line-segments $AB$ and $CD$ bisect each other at $O$.
$AC$ and $BD$ are joined forming triangles $AOC$ and $BOD$. State the three equality relations between the parts of the two triangles that are given or otherwise known. Are the two triangles congruent? State in symbolic form, which congruence condition do you use?
Answer
We have $AO = OB$ and $CO = OD$ since $AB$ and $CD$ bisect each other at $0$.
Also $\angle\text{AOC}=\angle\text{BOD}$ since they are opposite angles on the same vertex.
Therefore by $SAS$ congruence condition, $\triangle\text{AOC}\cong\triangle\text{BOD}$.

Question 102 Marks
Which of the following pairs of triangle are congruent by $ASA$ condition?
Answer


We have,
Since $\angle\text{ABO}=\angle\text{CDO}=45^\circ$ and both are alternate angles.
$AB\ ||\ DC$, $\angle\text{BAO}=\angle\text{DCO}$ (alternate angle, $AB\ ||\ CD$ and $AC$ is a transversal line)
$\angle\text{ABO}=\angle\text{CDO}=45^\circ$ (given in the figure)
Also, $AB = DC$ (Given in the figure)
Therefore, by $ASA$ $\triangle\text{AOB}\cong\triangle\text{DOC}$.

Question 122 Marks
Triangles $ABC$ and $DBC$ have side $BC$ common, $AB = BD$ and $AC = CD$. Are the two triangles congruent? State in symbolic form, which congruence do you use? Does $\angle\text{ABD}$ equal $\angle\text{ACD}?$ Why or why not?
Answer
Yes, Given, $\triangle\text{ABC}$ and $\triangle\text{DBC}$ have side $BC$ common,
$AB = BD$ and $AC = CD$ By
$SSS$ criterion of congruency,
$\triangle\text{ABC}\cong\triangle\text{DBC}$ No,
$\angle\text{ABD}$ and $\angle\text{ACD}$ are not equal because $\text{AB}\ne\text{AC}$
