Outline of Solution to few Homework Problems
In each problem draw figure to the scale using proper in-
struments.
H9 As AB = AC gives C = B. Use exterior angle theorem to
show m∠ADB =m∠ADC. But these two angles form a linear pair.
Hence sum of their measures is 180. Hence each must be 90.
Significance: In an isosceles triangle The angle bisector of the
vertex angle is also the altitude from that vertex on the opposite
side.
H10 In ∆AMN show that M = N = 90 − A2 .
H11 Deduce (1) m∠BAC = 50. (2) M∠GAE = 130.
(3) AG = AE. (4) M∠AEG = 25. (5) m∠DEG = 90 + 25 = 115.
H12 Use the given information to deduce
(1) In ∆AED,m∠EAD = 90 + 60 = 150 and m∠AED = 15.
(2) m∠ABF = 90 + 60 = 150.
(3) m∠BEF =m∠BF E = 15.
(4) m∠DEB =m∠AEB−m∠AED = 60 − 15 = 45.
(5) m∠DEF =m∠DEB+m∠BEF = 45 + 15 = 60.
(6) Similarly Deduce that m∠DF E = 60.
(7) In ∆DEF, D = E = F = 60.
(8) Finally deduce that ∆DEF is equilateral triangle.
H13 (1) As ABCDE is a regular pentagon, deduce that each of
its angle is 108. This information will help you to draw the regular
pentagon to the scale.
(2) Therefore m∠P CB = 108 − 60 = 48.
48
(3) CB = CP . (4) m∠BP C = 90 − 2
= 66.
H14. Note that ∠P CQ is the exterior angle of the isosceles ∆BP C
with measure of vertex angle ∠P BC = 120.
Deduce that m∠P CQ = 120 + 30 = 150.
