Compound Interest class 8 practice set 14.2 Question 1. On the construction work of a flyover bridge there were 320 workers initially. The number of workers were increased by 25% every year. Find the number of workers after 2 years.
Solution:
Here, P = Initial number of workers = 320
R = Increase in the number of workers per year = 25%
N = 2 years
A = Number of workers after 2 years

∴ The number of workers after 2 years would be 500.

Question 2.
A shepherd has 200 sheep with him. Find the number of sheeps with him after 3 years if the increase in number of sheeps is 8% every year.
Solution:
Here, P = Present number of sheeps = 200
R = Increase in number of sheeps per year = 8%
N = 3 years
A = Number of sheeps after 3 years

= \(\frac{0.32}{25} \times 27 \times 27 \times 27\)
= 0.0128 × 27 × 27 × 27
= 251.9424
= 252
∴ The number of sheeps with the shepherd after 2 years would be 252 (approx).

Here, P = Present number of trees in the forest = 40,000
R = Increase in the number of trees per year = 5%
N = 3 years
A = Number of trees after 3 years

= 5 × 21 × 21 × 21
= 5 × 9261
= 46,305
∴ The expected number of trees in the forest after 3 years is 46,305.

Std 8 Maths Practice Set 14.2 Question 4.
The cost price of a machine is Rs 2,50,000. If the rate of depreciation is 10% per year, find the depreciation in price of the machine after two years.
Solution:
Here, P = Cost price of machine = Rs 2,50,000
R = Rate of depreciation per year = 10%
N = 2 years
A = Depreciated price of the machine after 2 years

= 2,500 × 81
= Rs 2,02,500
Depreciation in price = Cost price (P) – Depreciated price (A)
= 2,50,000 – 2,02,500
= Rs 47,500
∴ The depreciation in price of the machine after 2 years would be Rs 47,500.

Question 5.
Find the compound interest if the amount of a certain principal after two years is Rs 4036.80 at the rate of 16 p.c.p.a.
Solution:
Here, A = Rs 4036.80, R = 16 p.c.p.a. and N = 2 years
i. \(\mathbf{A}=\mathbf{P}\left[1+\frac{\mathbf{R}}{100}\right]^{N}\)

ii. Interest = Amount (A) – Principal (P)
= 4036.80 – 3000
= Rs 1036.80
∴ The compound interest after 2 years would be Rs 1036.80.

Question 6.
A loan of Rs 15,000 was taken on compound interest. If the rate of compound interest is 12 p.c.p.a. find the amount to settle the loan after 3 years.
Solution:
Here, P = Rs 15,000, R = 12 p.c.p.a, and
N = 3 years

∴ The amount required to settle the loan after 3 years is Rs 21,073.92.

Solution:
Here, A = Rs 13,924, R = 18 p.c.p.a., and N = 2 years

∴ P = 4 x 50 x 50
∴ P = Rs 10,000
∴ The principal is Rs 10,000.

Question 8.
The population of a suburb is 16,000. Find the rate of increase in the population if the population after two years is 17,640.
Solution:
Here, P = Population of a suburb = 16,000
N = 2 years
A = Increase in the population after 2 years = 17,640
R = Rate of increase in population


∴5 = R
i.e., R = 5%
∴The rate of increase in the population is 5 p.c.p.a.

Compound Interest Practice Set 14.2 Question 9.

Here, P = Rs 20,000, R = 8 p.c.p.a.,
N = 2 years
i. Simple interest (I)

Simple interest (I) = Rs 3200

ii. Compound Interest (I):


= 32 × 27 × 27
= Rs 23,328
Compound interest (I)
= Amount (A) – Principal (P)
= 23,328 – 20,000
= Rs 3328 ,..(ii)

iii. Difference
= Compound interest – Simple interest
= 3328 – 3200 … [Form (i) and (ii)]
= Rs 128
∴ The difference between compound interest and simple interest is Rs 128.

9th Standard Maths 2 Practice Set 6.1 Chapter 6 Circle Textbook Answers Maharashtra Board

Class 9 Maths Part 2 Practice Set 6.1 Chapter 6 Circle Questions With Answers Maharashtra Board

Question 1.
Distance of chord AB from the centre of a circle is 8 cm. Length of the chord AB is 12 cm. Find the diameter of a circle.
Given: In a circle with centre O,
OA is radius and AB is its chord,
seg OP ⊥ chord AB, A-P-B
AB = 12 cm, OP =8 cm
To Find: Diameter of the circle
Solution:

i. AP = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) AB [Perpendicular drawn from the centre of a circle to the chord bisects the chord.]
∴ AP = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 12 = 6 cm ….(i)

ii. In ∆OPA, ∠OPA = 90°
∴ OA² = OP² + AP² [Pythagoras theorem]
= 8² + 6² [From (i)]
= 64 + 36
∴ OA² = 100
∴ OA = \(\sqrt { 100 }\) [Taking square root on both sides]
= 10 cm

iii. Radius (r) = 10 cm
∴ Diameter = 2r = 2 x 10 = 20 cm
∴ The diameter of the circle is 20 cm.

Question 2.
Diameter of a circle is 26 cm and length of a chord of the circle is 24 cm. Find the distance of the chord from the centre.
Solution:

Given: In a circle with centre O,
PO is radius and PQ is its chord,
seg OR ⊥ chord PQ, P-R-Q
PQ = 24 cm, diameter (d) = 26 cm
To Find: Distance of the chord from the centre (OR)
Solution:
Radius (OP) = \(\frac { d }{ 2 }\) = \(\frac { 26 }{ 2 }\) = 13 cm ……(i)
∴ PR = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) PQ [Perpendicular drawn from the centre of a circle to the chord bisects the chord.]
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 24 = 12 cm …..(ii)

ii. In ∆ORP, ∠ORP = 90°
∴ OP²= OR² + PR² [Pythagoras theorem]
∴ 13² = OR² + 12² [From (i) and (ii)]
∴ 169 = OR² + 144
∴ OR² = 169 – 144
∴ OR² = 25
∴ OR = √25 = 5 cm [Taking square root on both sides]
∴ The distance of the chord from the centre of the circle is 5 cm.

Question 3.
Radius of a circle is 34 cm and the distance of the chord from the centre is 30 cm, find the length of the chord.
Given: in a circle with centre A,
PA is radius and PQ is chord,
seg AM ⊥ chord PQ, P-M-Q
AP = 34 cm, AM = 30 cm
To Find: Length of the chord (PQ)
Solution:

I. In ∆AMP, ∠AMP = 90°
∴ AP² = AM² + PM² [Pythagoras theorem]
34² = 30² + PM²
∴ PM² = 34² – 30²
∴ PM² (34 – 30)(34 + 30) [a² – b² = (a – b)(a + b)]
= 4 x 64
∴ PM = \(\sqrt { 4\times64 }\) ………(i) [Taking square root on both sides]
= 2 x 8 = 16cm

ii. Now, PM = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\)(PQ) [Perpendicular drawn from the centre of a circle to the chord bisects the chord.]
16 = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\)(PQ) [From (i)]
∴ PQ = 16 x 2
= 32cm
∴ The length of the chord of the circle is 32cm.

Question 4.
Radius of a circle with centre O is 41 units. Length of a chord PQ is 80 units, find the distance of the chord from the centre of the circle.
Given: In a circle with centre O,
OP is radius and PQ is its chord,
seg OM ⊥ chord PQ, P-M-Q
OP = 41 units, PQ = 80 units,
To Find: Distance of the chord from the centre of the circle(OM)
Solution:

i. \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\)PM = (PQ) [Perpendicular drawn from the centre of a circle to the chord bisects the chord.]
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\)(80) = 40 Units ….(i)

ii. In ∆OMP, ∠OMP = 90°
∴ OP² = OM² + PM² [Pythagoras theorem]
∴ 41² = OM² + 40² [From (i)]
∴ OM² = 41² – 40²
= (41 -40) (41 +40) [a² – b² = (a – b) (a + b)]
= (1)(81)
∴ OM² = 81 OM = √81 = 9 units [Taking square root on both sides] [From (i)]
∴ The distance of the chord from the centre of the circle is 9 units.

Question 5.
In the adjoining figure, centre of two circles is O. Chord AB of bigger circle intersects the smaller circle in points P and Q. Show that AP = BQ.

Given: Two concentric circles having centre O.
To prove: AP = BQ
Construction: Draw seg OM ⊥ chord AB, A-M-B
Solution:
Proof:
For smaller circle,
seg OM ⊥ chord PQ [Construction, A-P-M, M-Q-B]
∴ PM = MQ …..(i) [Perpendicular drawn from the centre of the circle to the chord bisects the chord.]
For bigger circle,
seg OM ⊥ chord AB [Construction]
∴ AM = MB [Perpendicular drawn from the centre of the circle to the chord bisects the chord.]
∴ AP + PM = MQ + QB [A-P-M, M-Q-B]
∴ AP + MQ = MQ + QB [From (i)]
∴ AP = BQ

Question 6.
Prove that, if a diameter of a circle bisects two chords of the circle then those two chords are parallel to each other.
Solution:

Given: O is the centre of the circle.
seg PQ is the diameter.
Diameter PQ bisects the chords AB and CD in points M and N respectively.
To prove: chord AB || chord CD.
Proof:
Diameter PQ bisects the chord AB in point M [Given]
∴ seg AM ≅ seg BM
∴ seg OM ⊥ chord AB [Segment joining the centre of a circle and the midpoint of its chord is perpendicular to the chord, P-M-O, O-N-Q]
∴ ∠OMA = 90° …..(i)
Also, diameter PQ bisects the chord CD in point N [Given]
∴ seg CN ≅ seg DN
seg ON ⊥ chord CD [Segment joining the centre of a circle and the midpoint of its chord is perpendicular to the chord, P-M-O, O-N-Q]
∴ ∠ONC = 90° …..(ii)
Now, ∠OMA + ∠ONC = 90° + 90° [From (i) and (ii)]
= 180°
But, ∠OMA and ∠ONC form a pair of interior angles on lines AB and CD when seg MN is their transversal.
∴ chord AB || chord CD [Interior angles test]

Class 9 Maths Part 2 Practice Set 5.1 Chapter 5 Quadrilaterals Questions With Answers Maharashtra Board

Question 1.
Diagonals of a parallelogram WXYZ intersect each other at point O. If ∠XYZ∠ = 135°, then measure of ∠XWZ and ∠YZW? If l(OY) = 5 cm, then l(WY) = ?
Solution:

i. ∠XYZ = 135°
□WXYZ is a parallelogram.
∠XWZ = ∠XYZ
∴ ∠XWZ = 135° …..(i)

ii. ∠YZW + ∠XYZ = 180° [Adjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary]
∴ ∠YZW + 135°= 180° [From (i)]
∴ ∠YZW = 180°- 135°
∴ ∠YZW = 45°

iii. l(OY) = 5 cm [Given]
l(OY) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) l(WY) [Diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other]
∴ l(WY) = 2 x l(OY)
= 2 x 5
∴ l(WY) = 10 cm
∴∠XWZ = 135°, ∠YZW = 45°, l(WY) = 10 cm

Question 2.
In a parallelogram ABCD, if ∠A = (3x + 12)°, ∠B = (2x – 32)°, then liptl the value of x and the measures of ∠C and ∠D.
Solution:

□ABCD is a parallelogram. [Given]
∴ ∠A + ∠B = 180° [Adjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary],
∴ (3x + 12)° + (2x-32)° = 180°
∴ 3x + 12 + 2x – 32 = 180
∴ 5x – 20 = 180
∴ 5x= 180 + 20
∴ 5x = 200
∴ x = \(\frac { 200 }{ 5 }\)
∴ x = 40

ii. ∠A = (3x + 12)°
= [3(40) + 12]°
=(120 +12)°= 132°
∠B = (2x – 32)°
= [2(40) – 32]°
= (80 – 32)° = 48°
∴ ∠C = ∠A = 132°
∠D = ∠B = 48° [Opposite angles of a parallelogram]
∴ The value of x is 40, and the measures of ∠C and ∠D are 132° and 48° respectively.

Question 3.
Perimeter of a parallelogram is 150 cm. One of its sides is greater than the other side by 25 cm. Find the lengths of all sides.
Solution:

i. Let □ABCD be the parallelogram and the length of AD be x cm.
One side is greater than the other by 25 cm.
∴ AB = x + 25 cm
AD = BC = x cm
AB = DC = (x + 25) cm [Opposite angles of a parallelogram]

ii. Perimeter of □ABCD = 150 cm [Given]
∴ AB + BC + DC + AD = 150
∴ (x + 25) +x + (x + 25) + x – 150
∴ 4x + 50 = 150
∴ 4x = 150 – 50
∴ 4x = 100
∴ x = \(\frac { 100 }{ 4 }\)
∴ x = 25

iii. AD = BC = x = 25 cm
AB = DC = x + 25 = 25 + 25 = 50 cm
∴ The lengths of the sides of the parallelogram are 25 cm, 50 cm, 25 cm and 50 cm.

Question 4.
If the ratio of measures of two adjacent angles of a parallelogram is 1 : 2, find the measures of all angles of the parallelogram.
Solution:

i. Let □ABCD be the parallelogram.
The ratio of measures of two adjacent angles of a parallelogram is 1 : 2.
Let the common multiple be x.
∴ ∠A = x° and ∠B = 2x°
∠A + ∠B = 180° [Adjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary]
∴ x + 2x = 180
∴ 3x = 180
∴ x = \(\frac { 180 }{ 3 }\)
∴ x = 60

ii. ∠A = x° = 60°
∠B = 2x° = 2 x 60° = 120°
∠A = ∠C = 60°
∠B = ∠D= 120° [Opposite angles of a parallelogram]
∴ The measures of the angles of the parallelogram are 60°, 120°, 60° and 120°.

Question 5.
Diagonals of a parallelogram intersect each other at point O. If AO = 5, BO show that □ABCD is a rhombus.

Given: AO = 5, BO = 12 and AB = 13.
To prove: □ABCD is a rhombus.
Solition:
Proof:
AO = 5, BO = 12, AB = 13 [Given]
AO² + BO² = 5² + 12²
= 25 + 144
∴ AO² + BO² = 169 …..(i)
AB² = 13² = 169 ….(ii)
∴ AB² = AO² + BO² [From (i) and (ii)]
∴ ∆AOB is a right-angled triangle. [Converse of Pythagoras theorem]
∴ ∠AOB = 90°
∴ seg AC ⊥ seg BD …..(iii) [A-O-C]
∴ In parallelogram ABCD,
∴ seg AC ⊥ seg BD [From (iii)]
∴ □ABCD is a rhombus. [A parallelogram is a rhombus perpendicular to each other]

Question 6.
In the adjoining figure, □PQRS and □ABCR are two parallelograms. If ∠P = 110°, then find the measures of all the angles of □ABCR.
Solution:

□PQRS is a parallelogram. [Given]
∴ ∠R = ∠P [Opposite angles of a parallelogram]
∴ ∠R = 110° …..(iii)
□ABCR is a parallelogram. [Given]
∴ ∠A + ∠R= 180° [Adjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary]
∴ ∠A+ 110°= 180° [From (i)]
∴ ∠A= 180°- 110°
∴ ∠A = 70°
∴ ∠C = ∠A = 70°
∴ ∠B = ∠R= 110° [Opposite angles of a parallelogram]
∴ ∠A = 70°, ∠B = 110°,
∴ ∠C = 70°, ∠R = 110°

Question 7.
In the adjoining figure, □ABCD is a parallelogram. Point E is on the ray AB such that BE = AB, then prove that line ED bisects seg BC at point F.

Given: □ABCD is a parallelogram.
BE = AB
To prove: Line ED bisects seg BC at point F i.e. FC = FB
Solution:
Proof:
□ABCD is a parallelogram. [Given]
∴ seg AB ≅ seg DC …….(i) [Opposite angles of a parallelogram]
seg AB ≅ seg BE ……..(ii) [Given]
seg DC ≅ seg BE ……..(iii) [From (i) and (ii)]
side DC || side AB [Opposite sides of a parallelogram]
i.e. side DC || seg AE and seg DE is their transversal. [A-B-E]
∴ ∠CDE ≅ ∠AED
∴ ∠CDF ≅ ∠BEF …..(iv) [D-F-E, A-B-E]
In ∆DFC and ∆EFB,
seg DC = seg EB [From (iii)]
∠CDF ≅ ∠BEF [From (iv)]
∠DFC ≅ ∠EFB [Vertically opposite angles]
∴ ∆DFC ≅ ∆EFB [SAA test]
∴ FC ≅ FB [c.s.c.t]
∴ Line ED bisects seg BC at point F.

Proof:
AP = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) AB …..(i) [P is the midpoint of side AB]
QC = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) DC ….(ii) [Q is the midpoint of side CD]
□ABCD is a parallelogram. [Given]
∴ AB = DC [Opposite sides of a parallelogram]
∴ \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) AB = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) DC [Multiplying both sides by \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\)]
∴ AP = QC ….(iii) [From (i) and (ii)]
Also, AB || DC [Opposite angles of a parallelogram]
i.e. AP || QC ….(iv) [A – P – B, D – Q – C]
From (iii) and (iv),

Given: Point G (centroid) is the point of concurrence of the medians of ADEF.
DG = GH
To prove: □GEHF is a parallelogram.
Solution:
Proof:

Let ray DH intersect seg EF at point I such that E-I-F.
∴ seg DI is the median of ∆DEF.
∴ El = FI ……(i)
Point G is the centroid of ∆DEF.
∴ \(\frac { DG }{ GI }\) = \(\frac { 2 }{ 1 }\) [Centroid divides each median in the ratio 2:1]
∴ DG = 2(GI)
∴ GH = 2(GI) [DG = GH]
∴ GI + HI = 2(GI) [G-I-H]
∴ HI = 2(GI) – GI
∴ HI = GI ….(ii)
From (i) and (ii),
□GEHF is a parallelogram [A quadrilateral is a parallelogram, if its diagonals bisect each other]

Question 4.

∠ABQ = ∠CBQ =y° ….(ii) [ray BQ bisects ∠B]
∠BCQ = ∠DCQ = u° …..(iii) [ray CQ bisects ∠C]
∠ADS = ∠CDS = v° ….(iv) [ray DS bisects ∠D]
□ABCD is a parallelogram. [Given]
∴ ∠A + ∠B = 180° [Adjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary]
∴ ∠BAS + ∠DAS + ∠ABQ + ∠CBQ = 180° [Angle addition property]
∴ x°+x°+ v° + v° = 180 [From (i) and (ii)]
∴ 2x° + 2v° =180
∴ x + y = 90° ……(v) [Dividing both sides by 2]
Also, ∠A + ∠D= 180° [Adjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary]
∴ ∠BAS + ∠DAS + ADS + ∠CDS = 180° [Angle addition property]
∴ x° + x° + v° + v° = 180°
∴ 2x° + 2v° = 180°
∴ x° + v° = 90° …..(vi) [Dividing both sides by 2]
In ∆ARB,
∠RAB + ∠RBA + ∠ARB = 180° [Sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180°]
∴ x° + y° + ∠SRQ = 180° [A – S – R, B – Q – R]
∴ 90° + ∠SRQ = 180° [From (v)]
∴ ∠SRQ = 180°- 90° = 90° …..(vi)
Similarly, we can prove
∠SPQ = 90° …(viii)
In ∆ASD,
∠ASD + ∠SAD + ∠SDA = 180° [Sum of the measures of angles a triangle is 180°]
∴ ∠ASD + x° + v° = 180° [From (vi)]
∴ ∠ASD + 90° = 180°
∴∠ASD = 180°- 90° = 90°
∴ ∠PSR = ∠ASD [Vertically opposite angles]
∴ ∠PSR = 90° …..(ix)
Similarly we can prove
∠PQR = 90° ..(x)
∴ In □PQRS,
∠SRQ = ∠SPQ = ∠PSR = ∠PQR = 90° [From (vii), (viii), (ix), (x)]
∴ □PQRS is a rectangle. [Each angle is of measure 90°]

AB + BC + AC= 11.2 cm ….(iii) [Given]
∴ DE = 11.2 cm [From (ii) and (iii)]

ii. 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 angles theorem]
x + x = 70° [From (iv)]
∴ 2x = 70° x = 35°
∴ ∠ADB = 35°
∴ ∠D = 35°
Similarly, ∠E = 30°

iii. Now, in ∆ADE
∠D = 35°, ∠E = 30° and DE = 11.2 cm

Perimeter of triangle = 14.4 cm
∴ AB + BC + AC= 14.4
∴ 9x = 14.4
∴ x = \(\frac { 14.4 }{ 9 }\)
∴ x = 1.6
∴ AB = 2x = 2x 1.6 = 3.2 cm
∴ AC = 3x = 3 x 1.6 = 4.8 cm
∴ BC = 4x = 4 x 1.6 = 6.4 cm

In ∆PQT, ∠PQR is the exterior angle.
∴ ∠QPT + ∠QTP = ∠PQR [Remote interior angles theorem]
∴ x + x = 70° [From (iv)]
∴ 2x = 70° x = 35°
∴ ∠PTQ = 35°
∴ ∠T = 35°
Similarly, ∠S = 40°

iii. Now, in ∆PTS
∠T = 35°, ∠S = 40° and TS = 9.5 cm Hence, ∆PTS can be drawn.

YW = ZY and XV = ZX ……(i)
YW + YX + XV = WV [W-Y-X, Y-X-V]
∠Y + YX + ∠X = WV ……(ii) [From (i)]
Also,
∠Y + YX + ∠X = 10.5 cm …..(iii) [Given]
∴ WV = 10.5 cm [From (ii) and (iii)]

ii. In ∆ZWY
∠Y = YM [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 = 29°
∴ ∠ZWY = 29°
∴ ∠W = 29°
∴ Similarly, ∠V = 23°

iii. Now, in ∆ZWV
∠W = 29°, ∠V = 23° and
WV= 10.5 cm
Hence, ∆ZWV can be drawn.

iv. 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:
i. Draw seg WV of length 10.5 cm.
ii. From point W draw ray making angle of 29°.
iii. From point V draw ray making angle of 23°.
iv. Name the point of intersection of two rays as Z.
v. Draw the perpendicular bisector of seg WZ and seg VZ intersecting seg WV in Y and X respectively.
vi. Join XY and XX.
Hence, ∆XYX is the required triangle

Question 3.
Construct ∆LMN, in which ∠M = 60°, ∠N = 80° and LM + MN + NL = 11 cm.
Solution:

i. As shown in the figure, take point S and T on line MN, such that
MS = LM and NT = LN …..(i)
MS + MN + NT = ST [S-M-N, M-N-T]
∴ LM + MN + LN = ST …..(ii)
Also,
LM + MN + LN = 11 cm ….(iii)
∴ ST = 11 cm [From (ii) and (iii)]

ii. In ∆LSM
LM = MS
∴ ∠MLS = ∠MSL = x° …..(iv) [isosceles triangle theorem]
In ∆LMS, ∠LMN is the exterior angle.
∴ ∠MLS + ∠MSL = ∠LMN [Remote interior angles theorem]
∴ x + x = 60° [From (iv)]
∴ 2x = 60°
∴ x = 30°
∴ ∠LSM = 30°
∴ ∠S = 30°
Similarly, ∠T = 40°

iii. Now, in ∆LST
∠S = 30°, ∠T = 40° and ST = 11 cm
Hence, ALST can be drawn.

iv. Since, LM = MS
∴ Point M lies on perpendicular bisector of seg LS.
Also LN = NT
∴ Point N lies on perpendicular bisector of seg LT.
∴ Points M and N can be located by drawing the perpendicular bisector of LS and LT respectively.
∴ ∆LMN can be drawn.

Steps of construction:
i. Draw seg ST of length 11 cm.
ii. From point S draw ray making angle of 30°.
iii. From point T draw ray making angle of 40°.
iv. Name the point of intersection of two rays as L.
v. Draw the perpendicular bisector of seg LS and seg LT intersecting seg ST in M and N respectively.
vi. Join LM and LN.
Hence, ∆LMN is the required triangle.
