Let BD = DC = x

Now, in ABC,
(5)2 = (2x)2 + (2y)2 [∵ AB = AE + EB = 2y and BC = BD + DC = 2x]

Construction : Produce AP to G so that AP = PG.
Join CG. Also, produce DQ to H so
that DQ = QH. Join FH.

BP = CP [∵ AP is the median]
AP = GP [By construction]
APB = GPC [Vertically opposite angles]
 APB  GPC [By SAS congruency]

Hence, AF2 + BD2 + CE2 = OA2 + OB2 + OC2 – OF2 – OD2 – OE2
(ii) Using Pythagoras theorem in ODB and ODC, we get
OB2 = OD2 + BD2 and OC2 = OD2 + CD2
 OB2 – OC2 = BD2 – CD2 …(iv)
Similarly, we have
OC2 – OA2 = CE2 – AE2 …(v)
and OA2 – OB2 = AF2 – BF2 …(vi)
Adding the corresponding sides of equation (iv), (v) and (vi), we get
(AF2 + BD2 + CE2) – (AE2 + BF2 + CD2) = 0
 AF2 + BD2 + CE2 = AE2 + BF2 + CD2

 AB2 = BD2 + (AC – CD)2 D
 2 2 2 2
AB = BD + AC + CD – 2AC.CD
 AB2 = BC2 + AC2 – 2AC.CD [∵ BD2 + CD2 = BC2]
 BC2 = 2AC.CD [∵ AB = AC] B C

Answers & Solutions

Short Answer Type Questions :

Proof : In AEO and DFO,

AFG = ACB [Corresponding angles]

 AGF ~ ABC [By AA similarity]

AED = ABC [Corresponding angles]

 AED = ABC [By AA similarity]

3. (i) In 's ADC and BEC, we have

So, by AA criterion of similarity, we have

ADC ~ BEC [Given]

(iii) In 's ABC and DEC, we have

From (i) and (ii), we get

7. In BEC and BFD,

ECB = BDF = 45° [∵ Diagonals bisects C and D] E

 BEC ~ BFD [By AA similarity] O

PR2 = RT2 + PT2 P

= RT2 + PQ2 + QT2 – 2PQ  QT T S

= (RT2 + QT2) + PQ2 – 2PQ  QT

 PR2 = QR2 + PQ2 – 2PQ  QT ...(i) [∵ RT2 + QT2 = QR2] Q R

PQ2 = QS2 + PS2

= QS2 + (PR – SR)2

= QS2 + PR2 + SR2 – 2PR  SR

= (QS2 + SR2) + PR2 – 2PR  SR

 PQ2 = PR2 + QR2 – 2PR  SR ...(ii) [∵ QS2 + SR2 = QR2]

Adding (i) and (ii), we get

PR2 + PQ2 = PR2 + PQ2 + 2QR2 – 2PQ  QT – 2PR  SR

 2QR2 = 2PQ  QT + 2PR  SR

4. Since, AD and CE are medians, hence, they bisect BC and AB respectively.

(5)2 = (2x)2 + (2y)2 [∵ AB = AE + EB = 2y and BC = BD + DC = 2x]

 25 = 4x2 + 4y2 ...(i)

Putting value of x2 in (ii), we have

5. Given : Two triangles, ABC and DEF in which A

To prove : ABC ~ DEF

APB = GPC [Vertically opposite angles]

 APB  GPC [By SAS congruency]

Again, in DQE and HQF

DQE = HQF [Vertically opposite angles]

 DQE  HQF [By SAS congruency]

 AGC ~ DHF [By SSS similarity]

Thus, in ABC and DEF,

 ABC ~ DEF [By SAS similarity]

6. (i) Using Pythagoras theorem in OFA, ODB and OEC, we get A

OA2 = OF2 + AF2 …(i)

OB2 = OD2 + BD2 …(ii) F E

Adding equation (i), (ii) and (iii), we get B D C

(ii) Using Pythagoras theorem in ODB and ODC, we get

OB2 = OD2 + BD2 and OC2 = OD2 + CD2

 OB2 – OC2 = BD2 – CD2 …(iv)

OC2 – OA2 = CE2 – AE2 …(v)

and OA2 – OB2 = AF2 – BF2 …(vi)

(AF2 + BD2 + CE2) – (AE2 + BF2 + CD2) = 0

 AF2 + BD2 + CE2 = AE2 + BF2 + CD2

SECTION-B : Objective Type Questions :

 ABY ~ CDX [Congruent ’s are always similar]

 OST ~ ORQ [By AA similarity]

From (i) and (ii), we get

 DF is the bisector of ADC

 EDF = 90° [∵ The angle between linear pair bisectors is 90°]
