1. In each of the following pairs of right triangles, the measures of some parts are indicated alongside. State by the application of RHS congruence condition which are congruent, and also state each result in symbolic form. (Fig. 46)
Solution:
(i) ∠ADB = ∠BCA = 90o
AD = BC and hypotenuse AB = hypotenuse AB
Therefore, by RHS ΔADB ≅ ΔACB
(ii) AD = AD (Common)
Hypotenuse AC = hypotenuse AB (Given)
∠ADB + ∠ADC = 180o (Linear pair)
∠ADB + 90o = 180o
∠ADB = 180o – 90o = 90o
∠ADB = ∠ADC = 90o
Therefore, by RHS Δ ADB ≅ Δ ADC
(iii) Hypotenuse AO = hypotenuse DO
BO = CO
∠B = ∠C = 90o
Therefore, by RHS, ΔAOB≅ΔDOC
(iv) Hypotenuse AC = Hypotenuse CA
BC = DC
∠ABC = ∠ADC = 90o
Therefore, by RHS, ΔABC ≅ ΔADC
(v) BD = DB
Hypotenuse AB = Hypotenuse BC, as per the given figure,
∠BDA + ∠BDC = 180o
∠BDA + 90o = 180o
∠BDA= 180o – 90o = 90o
∠BDA = ∠BDC = 90o
Therefore, by RHS, ΔABD ≅ ΔCBD
2. Δ ABC is isosceles with AB = AC. AD is the altitude from A on BC.
(i) Is ΔABD ≅ ΔACD?
(ii) State the pairs of matching parts you have used to answer (i).
(iii) Is it true to say that BD = DC?
Solution:
(i) Yes, ΔABD ≅ ΔACD by RHS congruence condition.
(ii) We have used Hypotenuse AB = Hypotenuse AC
AD = DA
∠ADB = ∠ADC = 90o (AD ⊥ BC at point D)
(iii)Yes, it is true to say that BD = DC (corresponding parts of congruent triangles)
Since we have already proved that the two triangles are congruent.
3. ΔABC is isosceles with AB = AC. Also. AD ⊥ BC meeting BC in D. Are the two triangles ABD and ACD congruent? State in symbolic form. Which congruence condition do you use? Which side of ADC equals BD? Which angle of Δ ADC equals ∠B?
Solution:
We have AB = AC …… (i)
AD = DA (common) …… (ii)
And, ∠ADC = ∠ADB (AD ⊥ BC at point D) …… (iii)
Therefore, from (i), (ii) and (iii), by RHS congruence condition, ΔABD ≅ ΔACD, the triangles are congruent.
Therefore, BD = CD.
And ∠ABD = ∠ACD (corresponding parts of congruent triangles)
4. Draw a right triangle ABC. Use RHS condition to construct another triangle congruent to it.
Solution:
Consider
Δ ABC with ∠B as right angle.
We now construct another triangle on base BC, such that ∠C is a right angle and AB = DC
Also, BC = CB
Therefore by RHS, ΔABC ≅ ΔDCB
5.In fig. 47, BD and CE are altitudes of Δ ABC and BD = CE.
(i) Is ΔBCD ≅ ΔCBE?
(ii) State the three pairs or matching parts you have used to answer (i)
Solution:
(i) Yes, ΔBCD ≅ ΔCBE by RHS congruence condition.
(ii) We have used hypotenuse BC = hypotenuse CB
BD = CE (Given in question)
And ∠BDC = ∠CEB = 90o
