Solution 1
In
ABC and
ABD
AC = AD (given)
CAB =
DAB (given)
AB = AB (common)


AC = AD (given)


AB = AB (common)
So, BC and BD are of equal length.
Solution 2
In
ABD and
BAC
AD = BC (given)
DAB =
CBA (given)
AB = BA (common)


AD = BC (given)


AB = BA (common)
And

Solution 6
Given that

BAD +
DAC =
EAC +
DAC
BAC =
DAE
Now in
BAC and
DAE

BAC =
DAE (proved above)
AC = AE (given)








Now in


AB = AD (given)


AC = AE (given)
Solution 7
Given that
EPA =
DPB










Now in




AP = BP (P is mid point of AB)


Solution 8
(i) In
AMC and
BMD
AM = BM (M is mid point of AB)
AMC =
BMD (vertically opposite angles)
CM = DM (given)


AM = BM (M is mid point of AB)


CM = DM (given)
(ii) We have
ACM =
BDM
But
ACM and
BDM are alternate interior angles
Since alternate angles are equal.
Hence, we can say that DB || AC
DBC +
ACB = 180o (co-interior angles)
DBC + 90o = 180o
DBC + 90o = 1800


But


Since alternate angles are equal.
Hence, we can say that DB || AC








(iii) Now in
DBC and
ACB
DB = AC (Already proved)
DBC =
ACB (each 90o )
BC = CB (Common)


DB = AC (Already proved)


BC = CB (Common)
(iv) We have
DBC
ACB



Triangles Exercise Ex. 7.2
Solution 1
(i) It is given that in triangle ABC, AC = AB
ACB =
ABC (angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle are equal)









(ii) Now in
OAB and
OAC
AO =AO (common)
AB = AC (given)
OB = OC (proved above)
So,
OAB
OAC (by SSS congruence rule)


AO =AO (common)
AB = AC (given)
OB = OC (proved above)
So,






Solution 2
In
ADC and
ADB
AD = AD (Common)
ADC =

CD = BD (AD is the perpendicular bisector of BC)


AD = AD (Common)


CD = BD (AD is the perpendicular bisector of BC)

In


AB = AC (Given)
BD = CD (Given)
AD = AD (Common side)
Solution 6
In
ABC
AB = AC (given)
ACB =
ABC (angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle are also equal)
Now In
ACD
AC = AD
ADC =
ACD (angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle are also equal)
Now, in
BCD
ABC +
BCD +
ADC = 180o (angle sum property of a triangle)

ACB +
ACB +
ACD +
ACD = 180o
2(

BCD = 90o

AB = AC (given)



Now In

AC = AD



Now, in
















Solution 7
Given that

In
ABC,














Solution 8
Let us consider that ABC is an equilateral triangle.
So, AB = BC = AC
Now, AB = AC
So, AB = BC = AC
Now, AB = AC



We also have
AC = BC



So, we have



Now, in
















Hence, in an equilateral triangle all interior angles are of 60o.
Triangles Exercise Ex. 7.3
Solution 1
(i) In
ABD and
ACD
AB = AC (given)
BD = CD (given)
AD = AD (common)


AB = AC (given)
BD = CD (given)
AD = AD (common)
(ii) In
ABP and
ACP
AB = AC (given).
BAP =
CAP [from equation (1)]
AP = AP (common)


AB = AC (given).


AP = AP (common)
(iii) From equation (1)
BAP =
CAP
Hence, AP bisect
A
Now in
BDP and
CDP
BD = CD (given)
DP = DP (common)
BP = CP [from equation (2)]


Hence, AP bisect

Now in


BD = CD (given)
DP = DP (common)
BP = CP [from equation (2)]
(iv) We have
BDP
CDP



Now, BPD +
CPD = 180o (linear pair angles)
BPD +
BPD = 180o
2BPD = 180o [from equation (4)]
BPD = 90o ...(5)
From equations (2) and (5), we can say that AP is perpendicular bisector of BC.
Solution 2
(i) In
BAD and
CAD
ADB =
ADC (each 90o as AD is an altitude)
AB = AC (given)
AD = AD (common)




AB = AC (given)
AD = AD (common)
(ii) Also by CPCT,
BAD =
CAD
Hence, AD bisects
A.


Hence, AD bisects

(ii) Also by CPCT,
ÐBAD = ÐCAD
Hence, AD bisects ÐA.
Solution 3
(i) In
ABC, AM is median to BC


In
PQR, PN is median to QR


But BC = QR

Now, in
ABM and
PQN
AB = PQ (given)
BM = QN [from equation (1)]
AM = PN (given)


AB = PQ (given)
BM = QN [from equation (1)]
AM = PN (given)

(ii) Now in
ABC and
PQR


AB = PQ (given)


BC = QR (given)




Solution 4




BC = CB (common)
BE = CF (given)
Hence,
ABC is isosceles.

AP = AP
