Question 14 Marks
Question 15: Two lines l and m intersect at the point 0 and P is a point on a line n passing through the point 0 such that P is equidistant from l and m. Prove that n is the bisector of the angle formed by l and m.
Answer
Giva two lines L and M intersect at the point O and P is a point on a line n passing through O such that P is equidistant from L and M, i.e., PQ = PR,

To prove N is the bisector of the angle formed by L and M i.e., n is the bisector of $\angle\text{QOR},$
Proof In $\triangle\text{OQP}\text{ and }\triangle\text{ORP} $,
$\angle\text{PQO}=\angle\text{PRO}=\text{90}^0$
[since,P in equidistant from L and M, so PQ and PR should be perpendicular to lines L and M respectively]
OP = OP [commo side]
P = PR [given]
$\therefore\triangle\text{OQP}\cong\triangle\text{ORP}$ [by RHS congruence rule]
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{POQ}=\angle\text{POR}$ [by CPCT]
Hence,n is the bisector of $\angle\text{QOR}.$Hence proved.

Question 44 Marks
In a triangle ABC, D is the mid-point of side AC such that $\text{BD}=\frac{1}{2}\text{AC}.$Show that $\angle\text{ABC}$ is a right angle. 
Answer
We have to prove that $\angle\text{ABC}=90^\circ$

As is the mid-point of AC,

so, AD = DC 

Also, $\text{BD}=\frac{\text{1}}{\text{2}}\text{AC}=\text{AD}$

 $\big[\therefore$ D is the mid-point of AC$\big]$

$\therefore$  BD = AD = DC

In $\triangle\text{ABC},$ We have

BD = AD

$\therefore\angle1=\angle2\ ...(1)$

$\big[\because$ Angles opposite to equal sides are equal$\big]$

In $\triangle\text{BCD},$We have

BD = DC,

$\therefore\angle\text{3}=\angle4 ...(2)$

In $\triangle\text{ABC},$ We have

$\angle1+\angle\text{ABC}+\angle4=180^\circ$

$\Rightarrow\angle\text{1}+\angle\text{2}+\angle\text{3}\angle+\text{4}=180^\circ$

$\Rightarrow2(\angle\text{2}+\angle\text{3})=180^\circ)$

$\Rightarrow\angle2+\angle3=90^\circ$

$\Rightarrow\angle=90^\circ$

Hence proved.

$\text{AD}=\text{DE}$ [by construction] 

$\text{BD}=\text{CD}$ [given AD is the media]

and $\angle\text{ADB}=\angle\text{CDE}$  [vertically opposite angle]

$\therefore\ \triangle\text{ABD}\cong\text{ECD}$ [by SAS congruence rule]

 $\Rightarrow\ \text{AB}=\text{CE}$ [by CPCT]...(i)

Now, in $\triangle\text{AEC},$

$\text{AC}+\text{EC}>\text{AE}$

 $\therefore\ \text{AC}+\text{AB}>2\text{AD} $ [Sum of two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side]

Answer
Given in right angled $\triangle\text{ABC},\text{AB}= \text{AC}\text{ and }\text{CD}$ is the bisector of $\angle\text{C}.$ contruction draw $\text{DE}\ \bot\ \text{BC}.$

to prove $\text{AC}+\text{AD}= \text{BC}$

proof in right angled $\triangle\text{ABC},\text{AB}=\text{AC}\text{ and }\text{BC}$ is a hypotenuse [given]

$\angle1=\angle2$ [given,$\text{CD}$ isthe bisector of $\angle\text{C}$]

$\text{DC}=\text{DC}$ [common sides]

$\therefore\ \triangle\text{DAC}\cong\triangle\text{DEC}$ [by AAS congruence rule]

$\Rightarrow\ \text{DA}=\text{DE}.$ [by CPCT]...(i)

$\text{and}\ \text{AC}=\text{EC}$ ...(ii)

$\text{ln}\ \triangle\text{ABC},\ \text{AB}=\text{AC}$

[angle opposite to equal sides are equal]...(iii)

Again,in $\triangle\text{ABC},\ \angle\text{A}+\angle\text{B}+\angle\text{C}= 180^\circ$

[by angle sum property of a triangle]

 $\Rightarrow\ 90^\circ+\angle\text{B}+\angle\text{B}=180^\circ$

$\Rightarrow\ 2\angle\text{B}=180^\circ-90^\circ$[from Eq.(iii)]

$\Rightarrow\ 2\angle\text{B}=90^\circ$

$\Rightarrow\ \angle\text{B}=45^\circ$

$\text{ln}\ \triangle\text{BED},\ \angle5=180^\circ-\big(\angle\text{B}+\angle{4}\big)$ 

[by angle sum property of a triangle]

$=180^\circ-(45^\circ+90^\circ)$

$=180^\circ-135^\circ=45^\circ$

$\therefore\ \angle\text{B}=\angle{5}$

$\Rightarrow\ \text{DE}=\text{BE}\ [\because$ sides opposite to equal angle are equal$]$ ...(iv)

from Eqs. (i) and (iv),

$\text{DA}=\text{DE}=\text{BE}$ ...(v)

$\because\text{BC}=\text{CE}+\text{EB}$ 

$=\text{CA}+\text{DA}$ [from Eqs. (ii) and (v)]

$\therefore\text{AD}+\text{AC}=\text{BC}$ Hence proved.

Question 214 Marks
Line segment joining the mid-points M and N of parallel sides AB and DC, respectively of a trapezium ABCD is perpendicular to both the sides AB and DC Prove that AD = BC.
Answer
Given in trapezium ABCD, points M and N are the mid-points of parallel sides AB and DC respectively and join MN, which is perpendicular to AB and DC.

To prove: proof since, M is the mid-point of AB

$\therefore \text{AM} = \text{MB}$

 Now, in $\triangle \text{AMN} \text{ and } \triangle \text{BMN},\ \text{AM} = \text{MB}$ [proved above]

$\angle 3 = \angle 4$ [each 90°]

$\text{MN} = \text{MN}$ [common side]

$\therefore \triangle \text{AMN} \cong \text{BMN}$ [by SAS congruence rule]

$\therefore \angle 1 = \angle 2$ [by CPCT]

On multiplying both sides of above equation by - 1 and than adding 90° both sides, we get

$90^\circ - \angle 1 = 90^\circ - \angle 2$

$\Rightarrow \angle \text{AND} = \angle \text{BNC}$

Now, in $\triangle \text{ADN} \text{ and } \triangle \text{BNC}$

$\angle \text{AND} = \angle \text{BNC}$ [from Eq.(i)]

$\text{AN} = \text{BN}$ $\big[\because\ \triangle\text{AMN}\ \cong\ \triangle\text{BMN}\big]$

$\text{and}\ \text{DN}\ =\ \text{NC}$ $\big[\because $ N is the mid-point of CD (given)$\big]$

$\therefore\ \triangle\text{ADN}\ \cong\ \triangle\text{BCN}$ [by SAS congruence rule]

Hence,$\text{AD}\ =\ \text{BC}$ [by CPCT]

Hence proved.
