    Q: 1 In an isosceles triangle ABC, with AB = AC, the bisectors of that: B and C intersect each other at O. Join A to O.

    Show

    (i) OB = OC Answer

    (ii) AO bisects

    (i)

    It is given that in triangle ABC, AB = AC ACB = ABC (angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle are equal)

    OBC = OB = OC

    OBC (sides opposite to equal angles of a triangle are also equal)

    (ii) Now in AO =AO AB = AC OB = OC So,

    OAB and

    OAC (common) (given) (proved above) (by SSS congruence rule) (C.P.C.T.)

    OAB BAO =

    OAC CAO

    Q: 2 In ABC, AD is the perpendicular bisector of BC (see the given figure). Show that which AB = AC. ABC is an isosceles triangle in

    Answer In ADC and AD = AD ADC = CD = BD ADB (Common) (each 90 ) (AD is the perpendicular bisector of BC)
    o

    ADB

    Q: 3 ABC is an isosceles triangle in which altitudes BE and CF are drawn to equal sides AC and AB respectively (see the given figure). Show that these altitudes are equal.

    Answer In AEB and AEB = A= A AB = AC AFC AFC (each 90 ) (common angle) (given)
    o

    Q: 4 ABC is a triangle in which altitudes BE and CF to sides AC and AB are equal (see the given figure) show that (i) ABE ACF (ii) AB = AC, i.e., ABC is an isosceles triangle.

    Answer (i) In AEB and AEB = A= A BE = CF AFC AFC (each 90) (common angle) (given)

    (ii) We have already proved AEB AB = AC AFC (by CPCT)

    Q: 5 ABC and DBC are two isosceles triangles on the same base BC (see the given figure). Show that ABD = ACD.

    Answer

    Let us join AD In ABD and AB = AC BD = CD AD = AD ACD (Given) (Given) (Common side)

    Q: 6 ABC is an isosceles triangle in which AB = AC. Side BA is produced to D such that AD = AB (see the given figure). Show that BCD is a right angle.

    Answer In ABC AB = AC ACB = Now In AC = AD ACD ABC

    (given) (angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle are also equal)

    ADC = Now, in ABC + ACB + 2( ACB + BCD

    ACD

    (angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle are also equal)

    BCD + ACB +

    ADC = 180 ACD +


    o

    (angle sum property of a triangle) ACD = 180


    o

    ACD) = 180

    2(

    BCD) = 180 BCD = 90


    o

    Q: 7 ABC is a right angled triangle in which Answer A = 90 and AB = AC. Find


    o

    B and

    C.

    Given that AB = AC C= In ABC, A+ 90 + 90 + 2


    o o

    (angles opposite to equal sides are also equal)

    B+ B+ B+ B = 90
    o

    C = 180

    (angle sum property of a triangle)


    o

    C = 180 B = 180

    B = 45

    Q: 8 Show that the angles of an equilateral triangle are 60 each. Answer


    o

    Let us consider that ABC is an equilateral triangle. So, AB = BC = AC Now, AB = AC C= B (angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle are equal)

    We also have AC = BC

    B= So, we have A= Now, in A+ A+ 3

    (angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle are equal)

    B=

    C ABC

    B+ A+
    o

    C = 180

    A = 180

    A = 180 A = 60
    o

    A= B= C = 60 o Hence, in an equilateral triangle all interior angles are of 60 .
