In case of assertion
Let ΔABC and ΔDEF are two similar triangles.
Given that ar ΔABC = 48 cm2. Then,
Thus, the area of larger triangle is 108 cm2.
∴ Assertion is correct.
In case of reason:
In ΔBAC and ΔADC,
∠BAC= ∠ADC [Given]
∠BCA= ∠ACD [Common angle]
By AA similarity, ΔBAC ~ ΔADC
Thus,
CA/CD = BC/CA
∴ Reason is correct.
Hence, both assertion and reason are correct but reason is not the correct explanation for assertion.

Since, PS is the angle bisector of angle QPR
So, by angle bisector theorem,
QS/SR = PQ/PR
⇒ 3/SR = 6/8
⇒ SR = (3 X 8)/6 cm = 4 cm

In triangle ACB and ADC
∠A=∠A
∠ACB = ∠CDA
Therefore triangle ACB and ADC are similar,
Hence
AC/AD = AB/AC
AC2 = AD X AB
82 = 3 x AB
⇒ AB = 64/3
This implies,
BD = 64/3 – AD
⇒ BD = 55/3
∠A=∠A
∠ACB = ∠CDA
Therefore triangle ACB and ADC are similar,
Hence
AC/AD = AB/AC
AC2 = AD X AB
82 = 3 x AB
⇒ AB = 64/3
This implies,
BD = 64/3 – AD
⇒ BD = 55/3

Here largest side is 12 cm.
If the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the square of the other two sides, then it is a right-angled triangle.
If the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the square of the other two sides, then it is a right-angled triangle.
∴ c2 = a2 + b2
AC2 = AB2 + BC2
(12)2 = (63)2 + (6)2
44 = 36 × 3 + 36
144 = 108 + 36
144 = 144
∴ ∆ABC is a right angled triangle and angle opposite to hypotenuse, ∠B = 90°.

Similar triangles have corresponding angles equal. So Angle Q=Angle B = 50° and Angle R = Angle C = 70° . So by angle sum property, Angle P+Angle Q +Angle R = 180°
Angle P=180° - 50° - 70° = 60°
Angle P=180° - 50° - 70° = 60°

Similar Triangles and Corresponding Sides
Similar triangles are those triangles that have the same shape but may have different sizes. When two triangles are similar, the corresponding angles are the same, and the corresponding sides are proportional. In other words, the ratio of the lengths of the corresponding sides is the same for all pairs of corresponding sides. This ratio is called the scale factor.
Given the statement that "Two congruent triangles are actually similar triangles with the ratio of corresponding sides as," we are asked to determine the scale factor for the corresponding sides of the two triangles.
Option B is the correct answer, and the scale factor is 1:1. This means that the corresponding sides of the two triangles are equal in length.
Explanation of Other Options:
a) 1:2 - This means that the corresponding sides of one triangle are twice as long as the corresponding sides of the other triangle. Therefore, the triangles are not congruent, but they are similar.
c) 1:3 - This means that the corresponding sides of one triangle are three times as long as the corresponding sides of the other triangle. Therefore, the triangles are not congruent, but they are similar.
d) 2:1 - This means that the corresponding sides of one triangle are half as long as the corresponding sides of the other triangle. Therefore, the triangles are not congruent, but they are similar.
Conclusion:
In summary, when two triangles are congruent, they are also similar with a scale factor of 1:1. This means that the corresponding sides of the triangles are equal in length.

According to question,
ΔABC ~ ΔDEF,
AB = 4 cm, DE = 6 cm, EF = 9 cm and FD = 12 cm,
Therefore,
AB/DE = BC/EF = AC/DF

⇒ BC = 6 cm
And
4/6 = AC/12
⇒ AC = 8 cm
Perimeter = AB + BC + CA

Meera Rana answered |
GIVEN: In Δ ABC, D and E are points on AB and AC , DE || BC and AD = 2.4 cm, AE = 3.2 cm, DE = 2 cm and BE = 5 cm.
In Δ ADE and Δ ABC,
∠ADE =∠ABC (corresponding angles)
[DE || BC, AB is transversal]
∠AED =∠ACB (corresponding angles)
[DE || BC, AC is transversal]
So, Δ ADE ~ Δ ABC (AA similarity)
Therefore, AD/AB = AE/AC = DE/BC
[In similar triangles corresponding sides are proportional]
AD/AB = DE/BC
2.4/(2.4+DB) = 2/5
2.4 × 5 = 2(2.4+ DB)
12 = 4.8 + 2DB
12 - 4.8 = 2DB
7.2 = 2DB
DB = 7.2/2
DB = 3.6 cm
Similarly, AE/AC = DE/BC
3.2/(3.2+EC) = 2/5
3.2 × 5 = 2(3.2+EC)
16 = 6.4 + 2EC
16 - 6.4 = 2EC
9.6 = 2EC
EC = 9.6/2
EC = 4.8 cm
Hence,BD = 3.6 cm and CE = 4.8 cm.

Explanation:
- Let's draw the diagram first.
- From the diagram, we can see that triangle ABD and triangle ACD are both right triangles.
- Therefore, we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find their sides.
- Let's assume that AB = b, AC = c, and BC = a.
- Using Pythagorean theorem, we get:
- AB² + BD² = AD² (for triangle ABD)
- AC² + CD² = AD² (for triangle ACD)
- BC² = AB² + AC² (by Pythagoras theorem)
- Now, we can simplify the above equations to get:
- BD² = AD² - AB² = (AC² + CD²) - AB²
- CD² = AD² - AC² = (AB² + BD²) - AC²
- Substituting the value of BD² and CD² in the above equations, we get:
- AB² + (AC² + CD² - AB²) = AD²
- AC² + (AB² + BD² - AC²) = AD²
- After simplifying, we get:
- AC² = AD² - AB²
- AB² = AD² - AC²
- Therefore, we can say that triangle DAC is similar to triangle DAB by the Angle-Angle-Similarity criterion.
- Thus, option D is the correct answer.

We know that In a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. This is Pythagoras theorem. So, Reason is correct
Let the side of square be x cm.
In ∆ABD, by Pythagoras theorem, we have BD2 = AB2 + AD2
⇒ 162 = x2 + x2
⇒ 2x2 = 256 ⇒ x2 = 128 ⇒ x = 8√2 cm
So, Assertion is also correct.

In case of assertion: In the given two right triangles, both have equal right angles and one of the acute angles of one triangle is equal to an acute angle of the other triangle.
Thus, by AA similarity, the given two triangles are similar.
∴ Assertion is correct.
In case of reason:
We know that the ratio of the areas of two similar triangles is the square of the ratio of the corresponding altitudes of two similar triangles.
Thus, the ratio of the areas of two similar triangles is (3/5)2 = 9/25.

Since O is the point of intersection of two equal chords AB and CD such that OB = OD,
As chords are equal and OB = OD, so AO will also be equal to OC
Also ∠AOC = ∠DOB = 450
Now in triangles OAC and ODB
AO/OB = CO/OD
And ∠AOC = ∠DOB = 450
So triangles are isosceles and similar.

Assertion (A): In an equilateral triangle of side 3√3 cm, the length of the altitude is 4.5 cm.
Reason (R): If a ladder 10 cm long reaches a window 8 m above the ground, then the distance of the foot of the ladder from the base of the wall is 6 m.
To determine the correctness of the Assertion (A) and the Reason (R), let's analyze each statement separately.
Assertion (A): In an equilateral triangle of side 3√3 cm, the length of the altitude is 4.5 cm.
To find the length of the altitude in an equilateral triangle, we can use the formula:
Altitude = (sqrt(3)/2) * side length
Given that the side length of the equilateral triangle is 3√3 cm, we can substitute this value into the formula:
Altitude = (sqrt(3)/2) * 3√3
= (sqrt(3)/2) * 3 * √3
= (sqrt(3)/2) * 3 * √(3^2)
= (sqrt(3)/2) * 3 * 3
= (sqrt(3)/2) * 9
= 9√3/2
Simplifying further, we get:
Altitude = 4.5√3 cm
Therefore, Assertion (A) is true.
Reason (R): If a ladder 10 cm long reaches a window 8 m above the ground, then the distance of the foot of the ladder from the base of the wall is 6 m.
To understand this reason, we can consider a right-angled triangle formed by the ladder, the distance of the foot of the ladder from the base of the wall, and the height of the window.
Let the distance of the foot of the ladder from the base of the wall be x meters. According to the given information, the ladder is 10 m long and reaches a window 8 m above the ground. Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can establish the following relationship:
x^2 + 8^2 = 10^2
x^2 + 64 = 100
x^2 = 100 - 64
x^2 = 36
x = √36
x = 6
Therefore, the distance of the foot of the ladder from the base of the wall is 6 m.
After analyzing both the Assertion (A) and the Reason (R), we can conclude that both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A. Hence, the correct answer is option B.

= (sqrt(3)/2) * 3 * √(3^2)
= (sqrt(3)/2) * 3 * 3
= (sqrt(3)/2) * 9
= 9√3/2
Simplifying further, we get:
Altitude = 4.5√3 cm
Therefore, Assertion (A) is true.

We have, AB2 + BC2 = (24)2 + (10)2
= 576 + 100 = 676 = 2
AB2 + BC2 = AC2
ABC is a right angled triangle.
Also, two triangle are similar if their corresponding angles are equal.
So, both A and R are correct but R does not explain A.

Assertion: The areas of two similar triangles ABC and PQR are in the ratio 9:16. If BC = 4.5 cm, then the length of QR is 6 cm.
Reason: The ratio of the areas of two similar triangles is equal to the ratio of their corresponding sides.
To understand why option C is the correct answer, let's break down the assertion and reason given in the question.
Understanding the Assertion:
The assertion states that the areas of two similar triangles ABC and PQR are in the ratio 9:16. This means that the ratio of the areas of these triangles is 9/16.
Understanding the Reason:
The reason given states that the ratio of the areas of two similar triangles is equal to the ratio of their corresponding sides. In other words, if two triangles are similar, then the ratio of their areas is equal to the ratio of the squares of their corresponding sides.
Explanation:
Let's assume that the lengths of the corresponding sides of the triangles ABC and PQR are in the ratio of x:y. Therefore, the ratio of the areas of these triangles will be (x^2):(y^2).
Given that the ratio of the areas of the triangles ABC and PQR is 9:16, we can write the equation as:
(x^2)/(y^2) = 9/16
To find the length of QR, we need to find the value of y. Since we are given that BC = 4.5 cm, we can set up a proportion between the corresponding sides as follows:
BC/PQ = AB/QR
4.5/y = x/y
x = 4.5
Now, substituting the value of x in the equation (x^2)/(y^2) = 9/16, we get:
(4.5^2)/(y^2) = 9/16
20.25/(y^2) = 9/16
Cross-multiplying and solving for y, we get:
16 * 20.25 = 9 * (y^2)
324 = 9 * (y^2)
y^2 = 324/9
y^2 = 36
y = 6
Therefore, the length of QR is 6 cm.
Conclusion:
From the explanation above, it is clear that the assertion and reason are both true. However, the reason does not correctly explain the assertion because it only states the general concept of the ratio of areas of similar triangles being equal to the ratio of their corresponding sides, without specifically addressing the given scenario. Hence, option C is the correct answer.

We know that If in a triangle, square of one side is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides, then the angle opposite the first side is a right angle. This is converse of Pythagoras theorem.
So, Reason is correct
Now, AB2 = (6√3)2 = 108
AC2 = 122 = 144
and BC2 = 62 = 36
∴ 2 = 2 + 2
By converse of Pythagoras theorem, ∠B = 90°
So, Assertion is also correct.

In case of assertion
In ΔPQD and ΔRPD, ∠PDQ = ∠PDR= 90°.
There is no other information to be similar.
Thus, it is not it will be correct to say that ΔPQD ~ ΔRPD.
∴ Assertion is incorrect.
In case of reason:
In ΔADE and ΔACB, we have
∠ADE= ∠ACB [Given]
∠DAE= ∠CAB [Common angle]
By AA similarity, we get ΔADE ~ ΔACB.
∴ Reason is correct
Hence, assertion is incorrect but reason is correct
