Exercise 24

1. Find ‘x’ if:

Concise Selina Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 24 Ex 24 - 1
Solution:

(i) From the figure, we have

sin 60o = 20/x

√3/2 = 20/x

∴ x = 40/√3

(ii) From the figure, we have

tan 30o = 20/x

1/√3 = 20/x

∴ x = 20√3

(iii) From the figure, we have

sin 45o = 20/x

1/√2 = 20/x

∴ x = 20√2

2. Find angle ‘A’ if:

Concise Selina Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 24 Ex 24 - 2Solution:

(i) From the figure, we have

cos A = 10/20

= ½

cos A = cos 60o

Hence,

A = 60o

(ii) From the figure, we have

sin A = (10/√2)/10

= 1/√2

sin A = sin 45o

Hence,

A = 45o

(iii) From the figure, we have

tan A = (10√3)/10

= √3

tan A = tan 60o

Hence,

A = 60o

3. Find angle ‘x’ if:

Concise Selina Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 24 Ex 24 - 3Solution:

The given figure is drawn as follows:

Concise Selina Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 24 Ex 24 - 4 We have,

tan 60o = 30/AD

√3 = 30/AD

AD = 30/√3

Again,

sin x = AD/20

AD = 20 sin x

Now,

20 sin x = 30/√3

sin x = 30/20√3

sin x = 3/2√3

sin x = √3/2

sin x = sin 60o

⇒ x = 60o

4. Find AD, if:

Concise Selina Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 24 Ex 24 - 5Solution:

(i) In right ∆ABE, we have

tan 45o = AE/BE

1 = AE/BE

AE = BE

Thus, AE = BE = 50 m

Now,

In rectangle BCDE, we have

DE = BC = 10 m

Thus, the length of AD is given by

AD = AE + DE

= 50 + 10

= 60 m

(ii) In right ∆ABD, we have

sin B = AD/AB

sin 30o = AD/100 [As ∠ACD is the exterior angle of ∆ABC]

½ = AD/100

⇒ AD = 50 m

5. Find the length of AD.

Given: ∠ABC = 60o, ∠DBC = 45o and BC = 40 cm

Concise Selina Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 24 Ex 24 - 6

Solution:

In right ∆ABC, we have

tan 60o = AC/BC

√3 = AC/40

AC = 40√3 cm

Next,

In right ∆BDC, we have

tan 45o = DC/BC

1 = DC/40

DC = 40 cm

Now, from the figure it’s clearly seen that

AD = AC – DC

= 40√3 – 40

= 40(√3 – 1)

Hence, the length of AD is 29.28 cm

 

6. Find the lengths of diagonals AC and BD. Given AB = 60 cm and ∠BAD = 60o.

Concise Selina Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 24 Ex 24 - 7

Solution:

We know that, diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles and also bisect the angle of vertex.

Considering the figure as shown below:

Concise Selina Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 24 Ex 24 - 8 Now, we have

OA = OC = ½ AC,

OB = OD = ½ BD

∠AOB = 90o and

∠OAB = 60o/2 = 30o

Also given that AB = 60 cm

Now,

In right ∆AOB, we have

sin 30o = OB/AB

½ = OB/60

OB = 30

Also,

cos 30o = OA/AB

√3/2 = OA/60

OA = 51.96 cm

Therefore,

Length of diagonal AC = 2 x OA

= 2 x 51.96

= 103.92 cm

Length of diagonal BD = 2 x OB

= 2 x 30

= 60 cm

7. Find AB.

Concise Selina Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 24 Ex 24 - 9Solution:

Considering the given figure, let’s construct FP ⊥ ED

Concise Selina Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 24 Ex 24 - 10

Now,

In right ∆ACF, we have

tan 45o = 20/AC

1 = 20/AC

AC = 20

Next,

In right ∆DEB, we have

tan 60o = 30/BD

√3 = 30/BD

BD = 30/√3

= 17.32 cm

Also, given FC = 20 and ED = 30

So, EP = 10 cm

Thus,

tan 60o = FP/EP

√3 = FP/10

FP = 10√3

= 17.32 cm

And, FP = CD

Therefore, AB = AC + CD + BD

= 20 + 17.32 + 17.32

= 54.64 cm

8. In trapezium ABCD, as shown, AB || DC, AD = DC = BC = 20 cm and ∠A = 60o. Find:

(i) length of AB

(ii) distance between AB and DC

Concise Selina Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 24 Ex 24 - 11Solution:

Constructing two perpendiculars to AB from the point D and C respectively.

Now, since AB||CD we have PMCD as a rectangle

Considering the figure,

Concise Selina Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 24 Ex 24 - 12 (i) From right ∆ADP, we have

cos 60o = AP/AD

½ = AP/20

AP = 10

Similarly,

In right ∆BMC, we have

BM = 10 cm

Now, from the rectangle PMCD we have

CD = PM = 20 cm

Therefore,

AB = AP + PM + MB

= 10 + 20 + 10

= 40 cm

(ii) Again, from the right ∆APD, we have

sin 60o = PD/20

√3/2 = PD/20

PD = 10√3

Hence, the distance between AB and CD is 10√3 cm

9. Use the information given to find the length of AB.

Concise Selina Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 24 Ex 24 - 13Solution:

In right ∆AQP, we have

tan 30o = AQ/AP

1/√3 = 10/AP

AP = 10√3

Also,

In right ∆PBR, we have

tan 45o = PB/BR

1 = PB/8

PB = 8

Therefore, AB = AP + PB

= 10√3 + 8

10. Find the length of AB.

Concise Selina Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 24 Ex 24 - 14Solution:

In right ∆ADE, we have

tan 45o = AE/DE

1 = AE/30

AE = 30 cm

Also, in right ∆DBE, we have

tan 60o = BE/DE

√3 = BE/30

BE = 30√3 cm

Therefore, AB = AE + BE

= 30 + 30√3

= 30(1 + √3) cm

11. In the given figure, AB and EC are parallel to each other. Sides AD and BC are 2 cm each and are perpendicular to AB.

Concise Selina Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 24 Ex 24 - 15Given that ∠AED = 60o and ∠ACD = 45o. Calculate:

(i) AB (ii) AC (iii) AE

Solution:

(i) In right ∆ADC, we have

tan 45o = AD/DC

1 = 2/DC

DC = 2 cm

And, as AD || DC and AD ⊥ EC, ABCD is a parallelogram

So, opposite sides are equal

Hence, AB = DC = 2 cm

(ii) Again, in right ∆ADC

sin 45o = AD/AC

1/√2 = AD/AC

AC = 2√2 cm

(iii) In right ∆ADE, we have

sin 60o = AD/AE

√3/2 = 2/AE

AE = 4/√3

12. In the given figure, ∠B = 60°, AB = 16 cm and BC = 23 cm,

Calculate:

(i) BE (ii) AC

Concise Selina Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 24 Ex 24 - 16Solution:

In ∆ABE, we have

sin 60o = AE/AB

√3/2 = AE/16

AE = √3/2 x 16

= 8√3 cm

(i) In ∆ABE, we have ∠AEB = 90°

So, by Pythagoras Theorem, we get

BE2 = AB2 – AE2

BE2 = (16)2 – (8√3)2

BE2 = 256 – 192

BE2 = 64

Taking square root on both sides, we get

BE = 8 cm

(ii) EC = BC – BE

= 23 – 8

= 15

In ∆AEC, we have

∠AEC = 90° 

So, by Pythagoras Theorem, we get

AC2 = AE2 + EC2

AC2 = (8√3)2 + (15)2

AC2 = 192 + 225

AC2 = 147

Taking square root on both sides, we get

AC = 20.42 cm

13. Find

(i) BC

(ii) AD

(iii) AC

Concise Selina Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 24 Ex 24 - 17Solution:

(i) In right ∆AEC, we have

tan 30o = AB/BC

1/√3 = 12/BC

BC = 12√3 cm

(ii) In right ∆ABD, we have

cos A = AD/AB

cos 60o = AD/AB

½ = AD/12

AD = 12/2

AD = 6 cm

(iii) In right ∆ABC, we have

sin B = AB/AC

sin 30o = AB/AC

½ = 12/AC

AC = 12 x 2

AC = 24 cm

14. In right-angled triangle ABC; ∠B = 90o. Find the magnitude of angle A, if:

(i) AB is √3 times of BC

(ii) BC is √3 times of AB

Solution:

Considering the figure below:

Concise Selina Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 24 Ex 24 - 18 (i) We have, AB is √3 times of BC

AB/BC = √3

cot A = cot 30o

A = 30o

Hence, the magnitude of angle A is 30o

(ii) Again, from the figure

BC/AB = √3

tan A = √3

tan A = tan 60o

A = 60o

Hence, the magnitude of angle A is 60o

15. A ladder is placed against a vertical tower. If the ladder makes an angle of 30o with the ground and reaches upto a height of 15 m of the tower; find length of the ladder.

Solution:

Given that the ladder makes an angle of 30o with the ground and reaches upto a height of 15 m of the tower

Let’s consider the figure shown below:

Concise Selina Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 24 Ex 24 - 19 Let’s assume the length of the ladder is x metre

Now, from the figure we have

15/x = sin 30o [As perpendicular/hypotenuse = sine]

15/x = ½

x = 30 m

Hence, the length of the ladder is 30 m.

16. A kite is attached to a 100 m long string. Find the greatest height reached by the kite when its string makes an angles of 60o with the level ground.

Solution:

Given that the kite is attached to a 100 m long string and it makes an angle of 60o with the ground level

Let’s consider the figure shown below:

Concise Selina Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 24 Ex 24 - 20 Let’s assume the greatest height to be x metre

Now, from the figure we have

x/100 = sin 60o [As perpendicular/hypotenuse = sine]

x/100 = √3/2

x = 100 x (√3/2)

= 86.6 m

Hence, the greatest height reached by the kite is 86.6 m.

17. Find AB and BC, if:

Concise Selina Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 24 Ex 24 - 21Solution:

(i) Let assume BC to be x cm

BD = BC + CD = (x + 20) cm

Now,

In ∆ABD, we have

tan 30o = AB/BD

1/√3 = AB/(x + 20)

x + 20 = √3AB        … (1)

And,

In ∆ABC, we have

tan 45o = AB/BC

1 = AB/x

AB = x       … (2)

Now, using (1) in (2) we get

AB + 20 = √3AB

AB(√3 – 1) = 20

AB = 20/(√3 – 1) 

= 20/(√3 – 1) x [(√3 + 1)/( √3 + 1)]

= 20(√3 + 1)/ (3 – 1)

     = 27.32 cm

Hence from (2), we have

AB = BC = x = 27.32 cm

Therefore, AB = 27.32cm, BC = 27.32cm

(ii) Let’s assume BC to be x m

BD = BC + CD

= (x + 20) cm

In ∆ABD, we have

tan 30o = AB/BD

1/√3 = AB/(x + 20)

x + 20 = √3 AB … (1)

 

In ∆ABC, we have

tan 60o = AB/BC

√3 = AB/x

x = AB/√3 … (2)

Now, from (1) we have

AB/√3 + 20 = √3AB

AB + 20√3 = 3AB

2AB = 20√3

AB = 20√3/2

= 10√3

= 17.32 cm

And, from (2) we get

x = AB/√3

= 17.32/√3

= 10 cm

Hence, BC = x = 10cm

Therefore,

AB = 17.32 cm and BC = 10cm

 

(iii) Let’s assume BC to be x cm

BD = BC + CD

= (x + 20) cm

In ∆ABD, we have

tan 45o = AB/BD

1 = AB/(x + 20)

x + 20 = AB … (1)

Also,

In ∆ABD, we have

tan 60o = AB/BC

√3 = AB/x

x = AB/√3 … (2)

 

Now, from (1) we have

AB/√3 + 20 = AB

AB + 20√3 = √3AB

AB (√3 – 1) = 20√3

AB = 20√3/(√3 – 1)

On rationalizing, we get

AB = 20√3(√3 + 1)/(3 -1)

= 10√3(√3 + 1)

= 47.32 cm

And, from (2) we get

x = AB/√3

= 47.32/√3

= 27.32 cm

Hence, BC = x = 27.32 cm

Therefore,

AB = 47.32 cm and BC = 27.32 cm

18. Find PQ, if AB = 150 m, ∠P = 30o and ∠Q = 45o.

Concise Selina Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 24 Ex 24 - 22

Solution:

(i) In ∆APB, we have

tan 30o = AB/PB

1/√3 = 150/PB

PB = 150√3

= 259.80 m

Also, in ∆ABQ

tan 45o = AB/BQ

1 = 150/BQ

BQ = 150 m

Therefore,

PQ = PB + BQ

= 259.80 + 150

= 409.80 m

(ii) In ∆APB, we have

tan 30o = AB/PB

1/√3 = 150/PB

PB = 150√3

= 259.80 m

Also, in in ∆APB, we have

tan 45o = AB/BQ

1 = 150/BQ

BQ = 150 cm

Therefore, PQ = PB – BQ

= 259.80 – 150

= 109.80 m

19. If tan xo = 5/12, tan yo = ¾ and AB = 48 m; find the length of CD.

Concise Selina Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 24 Ex 24 - 23Solution:

Given,

tan xo = 5/12, tan yo = ¾ and AB = 48 m;

Let’s consider the length of BC to x metre

In ∆ADC, we have

tan xo = DC/AC

5/12 = DC/(48 + x)

5(48 + x) = 12DC

240 + 5x = 12DC … (1)

Also, in ∆BDC we have

tan yo = CD/BC

¾ = CD/x

x = 4CD/3 … (2)

Also, from (1) we get

240 + 5(4CD/3) = 12CD

240 + 20CD/3 = 12CD

720 + 20CD = 36CD

36CD – 20CD = 720

16CD = 720

CD = 720/16

CD = 45

Therefore, the length of CD is 45 m.

20. The perimeter of a rhombus is 96 cm and obtuse angle of it is 120o. Find the lengths of its diagonals.

Solution:

As rhombus has all sides equal

Let’s consider the diagram as below:

Concise Selina Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 24 Ex 24 - 24 Hence, PQ = 96/4 = 24 cm

And, ∠PQR = 120o

We also know that,

In a rhombus, the diagonals bisect each other perpendicularly and the diagonal bisect the angle at vertex

Thus, ∠POR is a right-angle triangle

∠PQR = ½ (∠PQR)

= 60o

sin 60o = perpendicular/hypotenuse

√3/2 = PO/PQ

√3/2 = PO/24

PO = 24√3/2

= 12√3

= 20/784 cm

Hence,

PR = 2PO

= 2 x 20.784

= 41.568 cm

Also, we have

cos 60o = base/hypotenuse

½ = OQ/24

OQ = 24/2

= 12 cm

Hence, SQ = 2 x OQ

= 2 x 12

= 24 cm

Therefore, the length of the diagonals PR is 41.568 cm and of SQ is 24 cm
