Class 9 Maths Chapter 7 Exercise 7.3 Solutions
Q.1. Δ ABC and Δ DBC are two isosceles triangles on the same base BC and vertices A and D are on the same side of BC (see Figure). If AD is extended to intersect BC at P, show that
(i) Δ ABD ≅ Δ ACD
(ii) Δ ABP ≅ Δ ACP
(iii) AP bisects ∠ A as well as ∠ D.
(iv) AP is the perpendicular bisector of BC.
Ans:
Q.2. AD is an altitude of an isosceles triangle ABC in which AB = AC. Show that
(i) AD bisects BC
(ii) AD bisects ∠ A.
Ans:
Q.3. Two sides AB and BC and median AM of one triangle ABC are respectively equal to sides PQ and QR and median PN of Δ PQR (see Figure). Show that:
(i) Δ ABM ≅ Δ PQN
(ii) Δ ABC ≅ Δ PQR
Q.4. BE and CF are two equal altitudes of a triangle ABC. Using RHS congruence rule, prove that the triangle ABC is isosceles.
