𝑥 = 25 x9 1\2
𝑥 = 5.4
The corresponding side is 5.4 cm
22 AQ = 5 cm 1
AR=AQ( Tangent of a point A)
Also CR=CP ------(1)
BQ=BP--------(2)
Adding (1) and (2)
CP+BP=CR+BQ
BC = CR+BQ ------(3)
Perimeter of ∆ABC =AC+BC+AB 1
 =AC+CR+AB+BQ (FROM 3)
=AR+AQ
=10 cm
( OR)
Since length of the tangents from an external point to a circle are equal 1
XP=XQ-------(1)
AP=AR-------(2)
BQ=BR-------(3) 1
Now XP=XQ
XA+AP=XB+BQ
XA+AR=XB+BR
23 Since the regular interval of alarms are 50s and 48s.
So both alarms ring together after x sec., where x is LCM of 50 and 48.
Now LCM(50, 48) =1200 1
So both alarms ring together after 1200 sec.
Or, both alarms ring together after 20 min. (by dividing 60)
Now, since they beep together at 12 noon, 1
So next time they beep together at 12:20 PM.
(OR)
Let the other number be ′x′
Given: LCM+HCF=600
⇒14HCF+HCF=600
⇒15 HCF=600
½
⇒HCF=40
⇒LCM=14×40=560
½
Since HCFxLCM=Product of 2 numbers
=>40×560 = 280×x
⇒x=40×560280
⇒x=40×2 ⇒x=80 ½
hence the other number is 80.

(PR)2=(PQ)2+(QR)2
(PR)2=(12)2+(5)2
(PR)2=169
PR=13
Now AOBQ is a square
So, QB=x 1
Then, BR=12−x
Similarly AQ=x
Then AP=5−x
Also, CR=BR
CR=5−x
[∵ Length of tangents drawn from external point are equal]
And, CP=AP=12−x
[∵ Length of tangents drawn from external point are equal]
PR=PC+CR
13=5−x+12−x
2x=4⇒x=2 cm.

Proof 2

In ΔABC,
∠1 = ∠2 ∴
AB = BD ……(i)
Given, AD/AE = AC/BD
Using equation (i), 1
we get AD/AE = AC/AB …….(ii)
In ΔBAE and ΔCAD,
by equation (ii), ½
AC/AB = AD/AE ½
∠A= ∠A (common)
∴ ΔBAE ~ ΔCAD [By SAS similarity criterion]

Construction 2
Proof

We know that length of tangents drawn from an external point to a circle 1

are equal
∴ TP=TQ−−−(1)
∴ ∠TQP=∠TPQ (angles of equal sides are equal)−−−(2)
Now, PT is tangent and OP is radius.
∴ OP⊥TP (Tangent at any point of the circle is perpendicular to the radius
through point of contact) 1
∴ ∠OPT=90o
or, ∠OPQ+∠TPQ=90o
or, ∠TPQ=90o−∠OPQ−−−(3)
In △PTQ
∠TPQ+∠PQT+∠QTP=180o (∴ Sum of angles triangle is 180o)
or, 90o−∠OPQ+∠TPQ+∠QTP=180o
or, 2(90o−∠OPQ)+∠QTP=180o [from (2) and (3)]
or, 180o−2∠OPQ+∠PTQ=180o
∴ 2∠OPQ=∠PTQ proved
