Question 1: In the figure, AB is parallel to CD, find x.

Solution:

(i) From the figure,

∠1 = 140° (corresponding angles are equal)

∠2 = 40o (∠A + ∠2 = 180°)

∠3 = 30° (∠3 + 150o = 180°)

∠4 = 110° (∠2 + ∠3 + ∠4 = 180°)

∠x = 70o (∠4 + ∠x = 180o)

(ii) From the figure,

∠1 = 48°

∠3 =108° (∠1 + 24° + ∠3 = 180°)

∠4 =108° (If two lines are intersect, then the vertically the opposite angles are equal)

∠5 = 72° (∠3 + ∠5 =180°)

∠3 + ∠4 + ∠5 = 108° + 108° + 72°

∠x = 288°

(iii) From the figure,

∠D = 53° 1… (∠B and ∠D are alternate interior angles)

Sum of the three angles of a triangle is 180°

∠x = 180°- (38°+ 53°)

= 180°- 91°

= 89°

Question 2: The angles of a triangle are in the ratio 1: 2 : 3, find the measure of each angle of the triangle.

Solution:

Let the angles be x, 2x and 3x.

Sum of the three angles of a triangle 180°.

x + 2x + 3x = 180°

6x = 180°

x = 180o / 6

x = 30o

2x = 2 * 30 = 60°

3x = 3 * 30 = 90°

The 3 angles of the triangle are 30°, 60°, 90°.

Question 3: Consider the given pairs of triangles and say whether each pair is that of congruent triangles. If the triangles are congruent, say ‘how’; if they are not congruent say ‘why’ and also say if a small modification would make them congruent:

TN board Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Exercise 4.1 Question Number 3

Solution:

(i) Consider △PQR and △ABC

Given:

RQ = BC

PQ = AB

△ABC is not congruent to △PQR

If PR = AC, then △ABC ⩭ △PQR

(ii) Consider △ABD and △BCD for the triangles to be congruent.

Given:

AB = DC

AD = BC and AB is the common side.

By the SSS [three sides being equal] rule, △ABD ⩭ △BCD.

(iii) Consider △PXY and △PXZ

Given:

XY = XZ

PY = PZ and PX is common.

By SSS rule, △PXY ⩭ △PXZ.

(iv) Consider △OAB and △ODC

Given:

OA = OC

∠ABO = ∠ODC and ∠AOB = ∠DOC [vertically opposite angles]

By AAS rule, △OAB = △ODC.

(v) Consider △AOB and △DOC

Given:

AO = OC

OB = OD and ∠AOB = ∠DOC [vertically opposite angles]

By SAS rule, △AOB = △DOC.

(vi) Consider △AMB and △AMC

Given:

AB = AC

∠AMB = ∠AMC = 90o

AM is common.

By RHS rule, △AMB ⩭ △AMC.

Question 4: ΔABC and ΔDEF are two triangles in which AB = DF, ∠ACB = 70°, ∠ABC = 60°; ∠DEF = 70° and ∠EDF = 60°. Prove that the triangles are congruent.

Solution:

In ΔABC, ∠ACB = 70°, ∠ABC = 60°

∠BAC = 180°- (70°+ 60°)

= 180° – 130°

= 50°

In ΔDEF, ∠DEF = 70°, ∠EDF = 60°

∠DFE = 180° – (70° + 60°)

= 180° – 130°

= 50°

∠A = ∠F

AB = DF and

∠B = ∠D

By ASA rule ΔABC ⩭ ΔFDE

Question 5: Find all the three angles of the ΔABC.

TN board Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Exercise 4.1 Question Number 5

Solution:

Exterior angle = Sum of the two opposite interior angles.

4x – 15 = 2x – 5 + x + 35

4x = 3x + 30 + 15

4x – 3x = 45°

x = 45°

∠A = x + 35

= 45° + 35°

= 80°

∠B = 2x – 5

= 2(45°) – 5

= 90 – 5°

= 85°

∠C = 4x – 15

= 4(45) – 15°

= 180° – 15°

= 165°

Samacheer Kalvi 9th Maths Chapter 4: Geometry Book Exercise 4.2 Questions and Solutions

Question 1: The angles of a quadrilateral are in the ratio 2:4:5:7. Find all the angles.

Solution:

Let the four angles be 2x, 4x, 5x and 7x.

Sum of interior angles of quadrilaterals = 360o

2x + 4x + 5x + 7x = 360o

18x = 360o

x = 360 / 18 = 20

x = 20

2x = 2(20) = 40

4x = 4(20) = 80

5x = 5(20) = 100

7x = 7(20) = 140

The required angles are 40, 80, 100 and 140.

Question 2: In a quadrilateral ABCD, ∠A = 72° and ∠C is the supplementary of ∠A. The other two angles are 2x -10 and x + 4. Find the value of x and the measure of all the angles.

Solution:

∠A + ∠C = 180o

72 + ∠C = 180o

∠C = 180 – 72

∠C = 108

∠B + ∠D = 180

2x – 10 + x + 4 = 180

3x – 6 = 180

3x = 186

x = 186 / 3

x = 62

2x – 10 = 2(62) – 10

= 124 – 10

= 114

x + 4 = 62 + 4 = 66

The required angles are 72, 108, 114 and 66.

Question 3: ABCD is a rectangle whose diagonals AC and BD intersect at O. If ∠OAB = 46°, find ∠OBC.

Solution:

Each angle in a rectangle is 90o.

The diagonals of a rectangle cut each other into their half.

So,

AO = BO

∠OBA = ∠OAB

∠OBA = 46° ——- (1)

∠ABC = ∠OBA + ∠OBC

90° = ∠46° + ∠OBC

∠OBC = 44°

Question 4: The lengths of the diagonals of a Rhombus are 12 cm and 16 cm. Find the side of the rhombus.

Solution:

In a rhombus, the diagonals cut each other at right angles.

In triangle OAB,

AB2 = OA2 + OB2

AB2 = 62 + 82

AB2 = 36 + 64

AB2 = 100

On taking square root on both sides,

AB = 10

The side length of a rhombus is 10 cm.

Question 5: Show that the bisectors of angles of a parallelogram form a rectangle.

Solution:

TN board Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Exercise 4.2 Question Number 5

In triangle ADS,

∠SAD = (1 / 2) ∠A —-(1)

∠ADS = (1 / 2) ∠D —-(2)

(1) + (2)

∠SAD + ∠ADS = (1/2) [∠A + ∠D]

∠SAD + ∠ADS = (1/2) (180)

∠SAD + ∠ADS = 90

In triangle ADS,

∠SAD + ∠ASD + ∠SDA = 180

∠SAD + ∠SDA + ∠ASD = 180

90 + ∠ASD = 180

∠ASD = 180 – 90

∠ASD = 90, ∠PSR = 90o (Vertically opposite angle)

Hence PQRS is a rectangle.

Question 6: If a triangle and a parallelogram lie on the same base and between the same parallels, then prove that the area of the triangle is equal to half of the area of the parallelogram.

Solution:

TN board Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Exercise 4.2 Question Number 6

Let ΔABP and a parallelogram ABCD be on the same base AB and between the same parallels AB and PC.

Prove that area of ΔPAB = (1 / 2) area of ABCD

Draw BQ ||AP to get another parallelogram. ABQP and ABCD lie on the same base AB and between the same parallels AB and PC.

Therefore, the area of ABQP = area of ABCD

ΔPAB ≅ ΔBQP (Diagonals PB divides the parallelogram ABQP into two congruent triangles).

Hence, the area of ΔPAB = area of ΔBQP ———–(2)

Area of ΔPAB = (1 / 2) area of trapezium ABQP —————–(3)

Thus, area of ΔPAB) = (1 / 2) area of ABCD.

Question 7: Iron rods a, b, c, d, e, and f are making a design in a bridge as shown in the figure. If a || b, c || d, e || f, find the marked angles between

(i) b and c

(ii) d and e

(iii d and f

(iv) c and f

TN board Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Exercise 4.2 Question Number 7

Solution:

(i) The angle between b and c is 30o.

(ii) The angle between d and e :

75o + angle between d and e = 180o

The angle between d and e = 180 – 75 = 105o

(iii) The angle between d and f :

In a parallelogram, opposite angles will be equal.

The angle between d and is 75o.

(iv) The angle between c and f :

In a parallelogram, opposite angles will be equal.

The angle between c and f is 105o.

Question 8: In the given figure, ∠A = 64° , ∠ABC = 58°. If BO and CO are the bisectors of ∠ABC and ∠ACB respectively of ΔABC, find x° and y°.

TN board Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Exercise 4.2 Question Number 8

Solution:

BO and CO are bisectors of ABC and ACB.

∠OBC = 58 / 2 = 29

In ΔABC,

∠ABC + ∠BAC + ∠BCA = 180o

58 + 64 + ∠BCA = 180o

∠BCA = 180 – 122

∠BCA = 58o

∠y = 58o

In ΔOBC,

∠OBC + ∠BOC + ∠BCO = 180o

29 + ∠BOC + 29 = 180o

∠BOC = 180 – 58

x = ∠BOC = 122o

Question 9: In the given figure, if AB = 2, BC = 6, AE = 6, BF = 8, CE = 7, and CF = 7, compute the ratio of the area of quadrilateral ABDE to the area of ΔCDF.

TN board Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Exercise 4.2 Question Number 9

Solution:

There are three triangles, Δ AEC, Δ BCF and Δ BDC.

Δ BCD is similar to ΔACE.

In ΔAEC,

AC = AB + BC = 2 + 6 = 8 cm

AE = 6 cm and EC = 7 cm

a = 8, b = 6 and c = 7

Using a formula for the area of a scalene triangle

= √s(s – a) (s – b) (s – c)

= √10.5(2.5) (4.5) (3.5)

= √413.43

= 20.33 —-(1)

In ΔBFC

BF = 8 cm , BC = 6 cm, and CF = 7 cm

s = (8 + 6 + 7) / 2 = 10.5

= √s(s – a) (s – b) (s – c)

= √10.5(2.5) (4.5) (3.5)

= √413.43

= 20.33 —-(1)

ΔBCD is similar to ΔACE and ΔBCF

To obtain the lengths of BD and CD for ΔBCD, use the linear scale factor.

8 / 6 = 4 / 3

8 (BF) / BD = 4 / 3

24 = 4BD

BD = 24 / 4 = 6

CE / CD = 8 / 6

7 / (CD) = 8 / 6

42 = 8 * CD

CD = 42 / 8 = 5.25

Area of ΔBCD :

S = (6 + 6 + 5.25) / 2 = 8.625

A = √8.625 (8.625 – 6) (8.625 – 6) (8.625 – 5.25)

= √200.58

= 14.16

Area of ΔCDF :

S = (5.25 + 7 + 2) / 2 = 7.125

A = √7.125(7.125 – 5.25) (7.125 – 7) (7.125 – 2)

= √8.558 = 2.925

= 2.925

Area of the trapezium ABDE = 20.33 – 14.16 = 6.17

The ratio of ABDE:ΔCDF

= 6.17 : 2.925

= 6 : 3 (approximately)

= 2 : 1

Question 10: In the figure, ABCD is a rectangle and EFGH is a parallelogram. Using the measurements given in the figure, what is the length d of the segment that is perpendicular to HE and FG?

TN board Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Exercise 4.2 Question Number 10

Solution:

Area of ABCD = length x breadth

= DC * BC

= 10 x 8

= 80

Area of ΔAEH = Area of ΔCGF [As they are congruent by RHS rule]

Similarly, area of ΔBEF = Area of ΔDGH

Area of parallelogram = EFGH = Area of rectangle ABCD – 2 (area of ΔAEH) – 2 (area of ΔBEF)

= 80 – 2 (0.5 * 4 * 3) – 2 (0.5 * 6 * 5)

Area of parallelogram EFGH = 38

GE * d = 38

5 * d = 38 [In ΔGCF, GF2 = FC2 + GC2]

GF2 = 42 + 32

= 16 + 9

= 25

GF = 5

d = 38 / 5 = 7.6

Question 11: In parallelogram ABCD of the accompanying diagram, line DP is drawn bisecting BC at N and meeting AB (extended) at P. From vertex C, line CQ is drawn bisecting side AD at M and meeting AB (extended) at Q. Lines DP and CQ meet at O. Show that the area of triangle QPO is 9 / 8 of the area of the parallelogram ABCD.

TN board Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Exercise 4.2 Question Number 11

Solution:

QPO = QAM + PBM + AMONB —–(1)

QPO = AMONB + MDC + NCD —–(2)

From (2),

= AMONB + MDC + NOC + DOC

= ABCD + DOC

Let ABCD = K

= K + DOC

DCNM is also a parallelogram.

So,

DOC = (¼) DCNM , 2 * ABCD = DCNM

= (1 / 8) * ABCD

= (k / 8)

QPO = K + [K / 8]

QPO = 9k / 8

Solution:

TN board Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Exercise 4.3 Question Number 3

In ΔAOC,

AC2 = AO2 + CO2

AC2 = (4√2)2 + (4√2)2

AC2 = 16(2) + 16(2)

AC2 = 64

AC = √64

AC = 8 cm

In triangle AOC,

COA = 90

OC = OA

Equal sides will form an equal angle.

OCA = OBC

Question 4: A chord is 12cm away from the centre of the circle of radius 15cm. Find the length of the chord.

Solution:

TN board Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Exercise 4.3 Question Number 4

Let the length of the chord BC be x.

In ΔBOC,

OC2 = OB2 + BC2

152 = 122 + x2

225 – 144 = x2

x = √81

x = 9 cm

AC = 2BC = 2(9) = 18 cm

Question 5: In a circle, AB and CD are two parallel chords with centre O and radius 10 cm such that AB = 16 cm and CD = 12 cm determine the distance between the two chords?

Solution:

TN board Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Exercise 4.3 Question Number 5

In ΔOPB,

OB2 = OP2 + PB2

OA = OB = OC = OD = 10 (Radius)

102 = OP2 + 82

OP2 = 100 – 64

OP2 = 36

OP = √36

OP = 6 cm

In ΔOQD,

OD2 = OQ2 + QD2

102 = OQ2 + 62

OQ2 = 100 – 36

OQ2 = 64

OQ = √64

OQ = 8 cm

Distance between two chords PQ = OQ – OP

= 8 – 6

= 2 cm

Question 6: Two circles of radii 5 cm and 3 cm intersect at two points and the distance between their centres is 4 cm. Find the length of the common chord.

Solution:

TN board Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Exercise 4.3 Question Number 6

OP = 3 cm, PS = 5 cm and OS = 4 cm

Let the length of the common chord RS be x.

OR = 4 – x

In ΔPOR,

OP2 = OR2 + PR2

32 = x2 + PR2

PR2 = 9 – x2 ——(1)

In ΔPRS,

PS2 = PR2 + RS2

52 = PR2 + (4 – x)2

PR2 = 25 – (4 – x)2

PR2 = 25 – (16 – 8x + x2)

PR2 = 25 – 16 + 8x – x2

PR2 = 9 + 8x – x2 —-(2)

(1) = (2)

9 – x2 = 9 + 8x – x2

8x = 0

x = 0

By applying the value of x in (1), we get

PR2 = 9 – 0

PR2 = 9

=> PR = 3

PQ = 2PR

PQ = 2(3)

PQ = 6 cm

Question 7: Find the value of x° in the following figures:

TN board Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Exercise 4.3 Question Number 7

Solution:

(i) ∠BOC = 2∠BAC

90° = 2x°

90 = 2x

Divide each side by 2.

45o = x

(ii) OP = OQ (Radius)

Equal sides will form equal angles.

∠OQP = ∠QPO = x°

∠ORP = ∠OPR = 30°

∠QPR = x° + 30°

2∠QPR = ∠QOR

2 (x° + 30°) = 80°

2 (x + 30) = 80

Divide each side by 2.

x + 30 = 40

x = 10

(iii) In ΔPON,

OP = ON (Radius) = x

∠ONP + ∠NOP + ∠OPN = 180

x° + 70° + x° = 180°

x + 70 + x = 180

2x + 70 = 180

Subtract 70 from each side.

2x = 110

Divide each side by 2.

x = 55o

(iv) x° = 120°

(v) OA = OC (Radius)

Equal sides will form equal angles.

∠OAC = ∠OCA = x°

In ΔOAC,

x° + x° + 100° = 180°

x + x + 100 = 180

2x + 100 = 180

Subtract 100 from each side.

2x = 80o

Divide each side by 2.

x = 40o
