Practice Set 4.3 Page 56

1. Construct PQR, in which Q = 70°, R = 80° and PQ + QR + PR = 9.5 cm.

Solution :

Let us draw a rough figure.

Maharashtra Board Sol Class 9 Maths p2 chapter 4-13

Explanation :

As shown in the figure, points T and S are taken on line QR such that,

QT = PQ, and PR = RS …(i)

TS = TQ+QR+RS

TS = PQ+QR+PR ….(ii) [from (i)]

Given PQ + QR + PR = 9.5 cm. …(iii)

TS = 9.5cm [from (ii) and (iii)]

Now in PTQ, TQ = QP [from (i)]

QPT = QTP = x˚ …(iv) [Isoceles triangle theorem]

In PQT, PQR is the exterior angle.

QPT+QTP = PQR [Remote interior angle theorem]

x+x = 70˚ [From (iv)]

2x = 70˚

x = 70/2 = 35˚

PTQ = 35 ˚

T = 35˚

Similarly, S = 40˚.

Now in PTS

T = 35°, S = 40° and TS = 9.5 cm

Hence, we can draw PTS .

Since, PQ = TQ,

Point Q lies on perpendicular bisector of seg PT.

Also, RP = RS

Point R lies on perpendicular bisector of seg PS.

Points Q and R can be located by drawing the perpendicular bisector of PT and PS respectively.

PQR can be drawn.

Steps of construction:

1. Draw seg TS of length 9.5 cm.

2. From point T draw ray making angle of 35°.

3. From point S draw ray making angle of 40°.

4. Mark the point of intersection of two rays as P.

5. Draw the perpendicular bisector of seg PT and seg PS intersecting seg TS in Q and R respectively.

6. Join PQ and PR.

Hence, PQR is the required triangle.

2. Construct XYZ, in which Y = 58°, X = 46° and perimeter of triangle is 10.5 cm.

Solution:

Let us draw a rough figure.

Maharashtra Board Sol Class 9 Maths p2 chapter 4-15

Explanation :

As shown in the figure, points W and V are taken on line YX such that,

YW = ZY and XV = ZX ……(i)

YW+YX+XV = WV [W-Y-X, Y-X-V]

ZY+YX+XZ = WV ……(ii) [From (i)]

Also,

ZY+YX +XZ = 10.5 cm …..(iii) [Given perimeter is 10.5 cm]

WV = 10.5 cm [From (ii) and (iii)]

In ZWY

YZ = YW [From (i)]

YZW = YWZ = x° …..(iv) [Isosceles triangle theorem]

In ZYW, ZYX is the exterior angle.

YZW +YWZ = ZYX [Remote interior angles theorem]

x+x = 58° [From (iv)]

2x = 58°

x = 58/2 = 29°

ZWY = 29°

YZW = 29°

Similarly, V = 23°

Now, in ZWV

W = 29°, V = 23° and

WV= 10.5 cm

Hence, we can draw ZWV .

Since, ZY = YW

Point Y lies on perpendicular bisector of seg ZW.

Also, ZX = XV

Point X lies on perpendicular bisector of seg ZV.

Points Y and X can be located by drawing the perpendicular bisector of ZW and ZV respectively.

XYZ can be drawn.

Steps of construction:

1. Draw seg WV of length 10.5 cm.

2. From point W draw ray making angle of 29°.

3. From point V draw ray making angle of 23°.

4. Mark the point of intersection of two rays as Z.

5. Draw the perpendicular bisector of seg WZ and seg VZ intersecting seg WV in Y and X respectively.

6. Join XY and XX.

Hence, XYX is the required triangle.

Problem Set 4 Page 56

1. Construct XYZ, such that XY + XZ = 10.3 cm, YZ = 4.9 cm, XYZ = 45°.

Solution:

Let us draw a rough figure.

As shown in the rough figure draw segYZ = 4.9cm

Draw a ray YT that makes an angle of 45° with YZ.

Mark a point W on ray YT,

so that YW= 10.3 cm

Now,YX + XW = YW [Y-X-W]

YX + XW=10.3cm …..(i)

Given, XY + XZ = 10.3cm ……(ii)

YX + XW = XY + XZ [From (i) and (ii)]

XW = XZ

Point X is on the perpendicular bisector of seg WZ

The point of intersection of ray YT and perpendicular bisector of seg WZ is point X.

Steps of construction:

1. Draw seg YZ of length 4.9 cm.

2. Draw ray YT, so that ZYT = 45°.

3. Mark point W on ray YT such that l(YW) = 10.3 cm.

4. Draw seg WZ.

5. Draw perpendicular bisector of seg WZ intersecting ray YT. Mark the point as X.

6. Draw seg XZ.

XYZ is the required triangle.

2. Construct ABC, in which B = 70°, C = 60°, AB + BC + AC = 11.2 cm

Solution:

Let us draw a rough figure.

As shown in the figure, take point D and E on line BC, so that

BD = AB and CE = AC ……(i)

BD+BC+CE = DE [D-B-C, B-C-E]

AB+BC+AC = DE …..(ii)

Given AB+BC+AC= 11.2 cm ….(iii)

DE = 11.2 cm [From (ii) and (iii)]

In ADB

AB = BD [From (i)]

BAD = BDA = x° ….(iv) [Isosceles triangle theorem]

In ABD, ABC is the exterior angle.

BAD +BDA = ABC [Remote interior angle theorem]

x+x = 70° [From (iv)]

2x = 70°

x = 70/2 = 35°

ADB = 35°

D = 35°

Similarly, E = 30°

Now, in ADE

D = 35°, E = 30° and DE = 11.2 cm

So, ADE can be drawn.

Since, AB = BD

Point B lies on perpendicular bisector of seg AD.

Also AC = CE

Point C lies on perpendicular bisector of seg AE.

Points B and C can be located by drawing the perpendicular bisector of AD and AE respectively.

So, ABC can be drawn.

Steps of construction:

1. Draw seg DE of length 11.2 cm.

2. From point D draw ray making angle of 35°.

3. From point E draw ray making angle of 30°.

4.Mark the point of intersection of two rays as A.

5. Draw the perpendicular bisector of seg DA and seg EA intersecting seg DE in B and C respectively.

6. Draw seg AB and seg AC.

ABC is the required triangle.

3. The perimeter of a triangle is 14.4 cm and the ratio of lengths of its side is 2 : 3 : 4. Construct the triangle.

Solution:

Let us draw a rough figure.

Let the common multiple be k

In ABC,

AB = 2k cm, AC = 3k cm, BC = 4k cm

Given the perimeter of triangle = 14.4 cm

AB+BC+AC = 14.4

2k+3k+4k = 9k

9k = 14.4

k = 14.4/9

k = 1.6

AB = 2k = 2×1.6 = 3.2 cm

AC = 3k = 3×1.6 = 4.8 cm

BC = 4k = 4×1.6 = 6.4 cm

Steps of construction:

1.Draw seg BD = 6.4 cm.

2.With B as centre, draw an arc of radius 3.2 cm.

3.With C as centre, draw an arc of radius 4.8 cm so that it intersects the previous arc at point A.

4.Join AB and AC.

So ABC is the required triangle.

PQ-PR = 2.4 cm.

PQ > PR.

Draw seg QR = 6.4 cm.

We can draw the ray QT such that TQR = 55°.

We have to locate point S on ray QT.
