Try yourself: Direction: In the following questions, A statement of Assertion (A) is followed by a statement of Reason (R). Mark the correct choice as.
Assertion (A): In an equilateral triangle of side 3√3 cm, then the length of the altitude is 4.5 cm.
Reason (R): If a ladder 10 cm long reaches a window 8 cm above the ground, then the distance of the foot of the ladder from the base of the wall is 6 cm.
A
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
B
Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
C
A is true but R is false
D
A is false and R is True
Correct Answer: B
In case of assertion
ΔABD, ∠D = 90°
or
or
or, h2 = 81/4
∴ h = 9/2 = 4.5 m
∴ Assertion is correct.
In case of reason: Let BC be the height of the window above the ground and AC be a ladder.
Here, BC = 8 cm and AC = 10 cm
∴ In right angled triangle ABC, AC2 = AB2 + BC2
(By using Pythagoras Theorem)
⇒ (10)2 = AB2 + (8)2
⇒ AB2 = 100 – 64
= 36
⇒ AB = 6 cm.
∴ Reason is correct.
Hence, both assertion and reason are correct but reason is not the correct explanation for assertion.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION
Try yourself: Direction: In the following questions, A statement of Assertion (A) is followed by a statement of Reason (R). Mark the correct choice as.
Assertion : In the ΔABC , AB = 24 cm , BC = 10 cm and AC = 26 cm , then ΔABC is a right angle triangle.
Reason : If in two triangles, their corresponding angles are equal, then the triangles are similar.
A
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
B
Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
C
A is true but R is false
D
A is false and R is True
Correct Answer: B
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.

Correct Answer: A
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

A
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
B
Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A

Correct Answer: B
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,

∠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.

Correct Answer: B
Given: ΔABC ∼ ΔDEF, BC = 4 cm, EF = 5 cm, Area of ΔABC = 64 cm2.
For two similar triangles, the ratio of their areas is equal to the square of the ratio of corresponding sides: Area of ΔABC / Area of ΔDEF = (BC / EF)2 64 / Area of ΔDEF = (4 / 5)2 = 16 / 25 Area of ΔDEF = (64 × 25) / 16 = 100 cm2
The reason given is also true because the areas of similar triangles are in the ratio of the squares of corresponding altitudes, which correctly explains the assertion.
