Q.1. In quadrilateral ACBD,AC = AD and AB bisects ∠ A(see Figure). Show that Δ ABC ≅ Δ ABD. What can you say about BC and BD?
Q.2. ABCD is a quadrilateral in which AD = BC and ∠DAB = ∠CBA (see Figure). Prove that
(i) Δ ABD ≅ Δ BAC
(ii) BD = AC
(iii) ∠ABD = ∠BAC.
Q.3. AD and BC are equal perpendiculars to a Line segment AB (see Figure). Show that CD bisects AB.
Ans:
Q.4. l and m are two parallel lines intersected by another pair of parallel lines p and q (see Figure). Show that ΔABC ≅ ΔCDA.
Q.5. Line l is the bisector of an angle ∠A and B is any point on l. BP and BQ are perpendiculars from B to the arms of ∠A (see Figure). Show that:
(i) Δ APB ≅ Δ AQB
(ii) BP = BQ or B is equidistant from the arms of ∠A.
Q.6. In Figure, AC = AE, AB = AD and ∠BAD = ∠EAC. Show that BC = DE.
Q.7. AB is a line segment and P is its mid-point. D and E are points on the same side of AB such that ∠ BAD = ∠ ABE and ∠ EPA = ∠ DPB (see Figure). Show that
(i) Δ DAP ≅ Δ EBP
(ii) AD = BE
