Question 1.
Without using division, can we tell from the denominator of a fraction, whether the decimal form of the fraction will be a terminating decimal? Find out. (Textbook pg. no. 40)
Solution:
If the prime factorization of the denominator of a fraction has only factors as 2 or 5 or a combination of 2 and 5 then the decimal form of that fractional will be a terminating decimal form.
Consider the fractions \(\frac { 17 }{ 20 }\) and \(\frac { 19 }{ 6 }\)
Now, 20 = 2 x 2 x 5, and 6 = 2 x 3
∴ \(\frac { 17 }{ 20 }\) is terminating decimal form while \(\frac { 19 }{ 6 }\) is recurring decimal form.

Question 1.
Questions and their alternative answers are given. Choose the correct alternative answer.
i. Find the circumference of a circle whose area is 1386 cm²? [Chapter 15]
(A) 132 cm²
(B) 132 cm
(C) 42 cm
(D) 21 cm²
Solution:
(B) 132 cm

Hint:
i. Area of the circle = πr²
1386 = \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\) x r²
r² = 1386 x \(\frac { 7 }{ 22 }\)
= 63 x 7
= 441
r = √441 … [Taking square root of both sides]
= 21 cm
Circumference of the circle = 2πr
= 2 x \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\) x 21
= 132 cm

ii. The side of a cube is 4 m. If it is doubled, how many times will be the volume of the new cube, as compared with the original cube? [Chapter 16]
(A) Two times
(B) Three times
(C) Four times
(D) Eight times
Solution:
(D) Eight times

Hint:
ii. Original volume = (4)³ = 64 cu.m
New side = 8 m
∴ New volume = (8)² = 512 cu.m
Now, \(\frac{\text { new volume }}{\text { original volume }}=\frac{512}{64}\) = 8
original volume 64
∴ volume of new cube will increase 8 times as compared to the volume of original cube.

Question 5.
In ☐ABCD, side AB || side DC, seg AE ⊥ seg DC. If l(AB) = 9 cm, l(AE) = 10 cm, A(☐ABCD) = 115 cm² , find l(DC). [Chapter 15]
Solution:
Given, side AB || side DC.
∴ ☐ABCD is a trapezium.
Maharashtra Board Class 8 Maths Solutions Miscellaneous Exercise 2 4
Given, l(AB) = 9 cm, l(AE) = 10 cm,
A(☐ABCD) = 115 cm²
Area of a trapezium
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x sum of lengths of parallel sides x height
∴ A(☐ABCD) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x [l(AB) + l(DC) x l(AE)]
∴ 115 = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x [9 + l(DC)] x 10
∴ \(\frac { 115 \times 2 }{ 10 }\) = 9 + l(DC)
∴ 23 = 9 + l(DC)
∴ l(DC) = 23 – 9
∴ l(DC) = 14cm

Question 6.
The diameter and height of a cylindrical tank is 1.75 m and 3.2 m respectively. How much is the capacity of tank in litre?
[π = \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\)] [Chapter 16]
Solution:
Given: For cylindrical tank:
diameter (d) = 1.75 m, height (h) = 3.2 m
To Find: Capacity of tank in litre
diameter (d) = 1.75 m
= 1.75 x 100
….[∵ 1 m = 100cm]
= 175 cm
∴ radius (r) = \(=\frac{\mathrm{d}}{2}=\frac{175}{2}\) cm
h = 3.2 cm
= 3.2 x 100
= 320 cm
Capacity of tank = Volume of the cylindrical tank
= πr²h
Maharashtra Board Class 8 Maths Solutions Miscellaneous Exercise 2 5
∴ The capacity of the tank is 7700 litre.

Question 7.
The length of a chord of a circle is 16.8 cm, radius is 9.1 cm. Find its distance from the centre. [Chapter 17]
Solution:
Maharashtra Board Class 8 Maths Solutions Miscellaneous Exercise 2 6
Let CD be the chord of the Circle with centre O.
Draw seg OP ⊥ chord CD
∴l(PD) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) l(CD)
…[Perpendicular drawn from the centre of a circle to its chord bisects the chord]
∴l(PD) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 16.8 …[l(CD) = 16.8cm]
∴l(PD) = 8.4 cm …(i)
∴In ∆OPD, m∠OPD = 90°
∴[l(OD)]² = [l(OP)]² + [l(PD)]² …..[Pythagoras theorem]
∴(9.1)² = [l(OP)]² + (8.4)² … [From (i) and l(OD) = 9.1 cm]
∴(9.1)² – (8.4)² = [l(OP)]²
∴(9.1 + 8.4) (9.1 – 8.4) = [l(OP)]²
…[∵ a² – b² = (a + b) (a – b)]
∴17.5 x (0.7) = [l(OP)]²
∴12.25 = [l(OP)]²
i.e., [l(OP)]² = 12.25
∴l(OP) = √12.25
…[Taking square root of both sides]
∴l(OP) = 3.5 cm
∴The distance of the chord from the centre is 3.5 cm.

Question 9.
Solve the following equations.
i. 17 (x + 4) + 8 (x + 6) = 11 (x + 5) + 15 (x + 3)
ii. \(\frac{3 y}{2}+\frac{y+4}{4}=5-\frac{y-2}{4}\)
iii. 5(1 – 2x) = 9(1 -x)
[Chapter 12]
Solution:
i. 17 (x + 4) + 8 (x + 6) = 11 (x + 5) + 15 (x + 3)
∴ 17x + 68 + 8x + 48 = 11x + 55 + 15x + 45
∴ 17x + 8x + 68 + 48 = 11x + 15x + 55 + 45
∴ 25x + 116 = 26x + 100
∴ 25x + 116 – 116 = 26x + 100 – 116
… [Subtracting 116 from both the sides]
∴ 25x = 26x – 16
∴ 25x – 26x = 26x – 16 – 26x
… [Subtracting 26x from both the sides]
∴ -x = -16
∴ \(\frac{-x}{-1}=\frac{-16}{-1}\)
∴ x = 16

ii. \(\frac{3 y}{2}+\frac{y+4}{4}=5-\frac{y-2}{4}\)
∴ \(\frac{3 y \times 2}{2 \times 2}+\frac{y+4}{4}=5-\frac{y-2}{4}\)
∴ \(\frac{6 y}{4}+\frac{y+4}{4}=5-\frac{y-2}{4}\)
∴ \(\frac{6 y}{4} \times 4+\frac{y+4}{4} \times 4=5 \times 4-\frac{y-2}{4} \times 4\)
……[Multiplying both the sides by 4]
∴ 6y + y + 4 = 20 – (y – 2)
∴ 7y + 4 = 20 – y + 2
∴ 7y + 4 = 22 – y
∴ 7y + 4 – 4 = 22 – y – 4
…..[Subtracting 4 from both the sides]
∴ 7y = 18 – y
∴ 7y + y = 18 – y + y
…[Adding y on both the sides]
∴ 8y = 18
∴ \(\frac{8 y}{8}=\frac{18}{8}\) … [Dividing both the sides by 8]
∴ \(y=\frac { 9 }{ 4 }\)

iii. 5(1 – 2x) = 9(1 – x)
∴ 5 – 10x = 9 – 9x
∴ 5 – 10x – 5 = 9 – 9x – 5
….[Subtracting 5 from both the sides]
∴ -10x = 4 – 9x
∴ -10x + 9x = 4 – 9x + 9x
… [Adding 9x on both the sides]
∴ -x = 4
∴ -x x (- 1) = 4 x (- 1)
… [Multiplying both the sides by – 1]
∴ x = – 4

Question 10.

Solution:
a.
Maharashtra Board Class 8 Maths Solutions Miscellaneous Exercise 2 9
b. In ∆ADC and ∆ABC,
side AD ≅ side AB …..[Sides of a rhombus]
side DC ≅ side BC …..[Sides of a rhombus]
side AC ≅ side AC … [Common side]
∆ADC ≅ ∆ABC … [By SSS test]
∠DCA ≅ ∠BCA …[Corresponding angles of congruent triangles]
∠DAC ≅ ∠BAC …[Corresponding angles of congruent triangles]
From the above steps, property of rhombus revealed is ‘diagonal of a rhombus bisect the opposite angles’.

Question 11.

l(QR) = 250 m, l(RS) = 100 m, l(PS) = 240 m, l(PR) = 260 m.
Find the area of the field in hectare (1 hectare = 10,000 sq.m). [Chapter 15]
Solution:
Maharashtra Board Class 8 Maths Solutions Miscellaneous Exercise 2 10
Area of the field = A(∆PQR) + A(∆PSR)
In ∆PQR, a = 170 m, b = 250 m, c = 260 m
Semiperimeter of ∆PQR = s
Maharashtra Board Class 8 Maths Solutions Miscellaneous Exercise 2 11
Area of the field = A(∆PQR) + A(∆PSR)
= 20400 + 12000
= 32400 sq.m
= \(\frac { 32400 }{ 10000 }\)
…[1 hectare = 10,000 sq.m]
= 3.24 hectares
∴ The area of the field is 3.24 hectares.

Question 12.
In a library, 50% of total number of books is of Marathi. The books of English are \(\frac { 1 }{ 3 }\) of Marathi books. The books on Mathematics are 25% of the English books. The remaining 560 books are of other subjects. What is the total number of books in the library? [Chapter 12]
Solution:
Let the total number of books in the library be x
50% of total number of books is of Marathi.
Number of Marathi books = 50% of x
= \(\frac { 50 }{ 100 }x\)
= \(\frac { x }{ 2 }\)
The books of English are \(\frac { 1 }{ 3 }\) of Marathi books.
Number of books of English = \(\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{x}{2}\)
= \(\frac { x }{ 6 }\)
The books on Mathematics are 25% of the English books.
Number of books of Mathematics
= 25% of \(\frac { x }{ 6 }\)
= \(\frac{25}{100} \times \frac{x}{6}\)
= \(\frac { x }{ 24 }\)
Since, there are 560 books of other subjects, the total number of books in the library are
Maharashtra Board Class 8 Maths Solutions Miscellaneous Exercise 2 12
Maharashtra Board Class 8 Maths Solutions Miscellaneous Exercise 2 13
∴ 24x – 17x = 17x + 13440 – 17x
∴ 7x = 13440
∴ \(\frac{7 x}{7}=\frac{13440}{7}\)
∴ x = 1920
∴ The total number of books in the library are 1920.

ii. When m = 155, n = ?
∴ Substituting m = 155 in (ii), we get
m = \(\frac { 5 }{ 3 }n\)
∴ 155 = \(\frac { 5 }{ 3 }n\)
∴ \(\frac{155 \times 3}{5}=n\)
∴ n = 31 × 3
∴ n = 93

Question 4.
y varies inversely with x. If y = 30 when x = 12, find [Chapter 7]
i. y when x = 15,
ii. x when y = 18.
Solution:
Given that,
\(y \propto \frac{1}{x}\)
∴ \(y=k \times \frac{1}{x}\)
where, k is the constant of variation.
∴ y × x = k …(i)
When x = 12, y = 30
∴ Substituting, x = 12 and y = 30 in (i), we get
y × x = k
∴ 30 × 12 = k
∴ k = 360
Substituting, k = 360 in (i), we get
y × x = k
∴ y × x = 360 ….(ii)

i. When x = 15,y = ?
∴ Substituting x = 15 in (ii), we get
y × x = 360
∴ y × 15 = 360
∴ y = \(\frac { 360 }{ 15 }\)
∴ y = 24

ii. When y = 18, x = ?
∴ Substituting y = 18 in (ii), we get
y × x = 360
∴18 × x = 360
∴ x = \(\frac { 360 }{ 18 }\)
∴ x = 20

Expand.
i. (5x – 7) (5x – 9)
ii. (2x – 3y)³
iii. \(\left(a+\frac{1}{2}\right)^{3}\) [Chapter 5]
Solution:
i. (5x – 7) (5x – 9)
= (5x)² + (-7 -9) 5x + (-7) × (-9).
…[∵ (x + a) (x + b) = x² + (a + b)x + ab]
= 25x² + (-16) × 5x + 63
= 25x² – 80x + 63

ii. Here, a = 2x and b = 3y
(2x – 3y)³
= (2x)³ – 3 (2x)² (3y) + 3 (2x) (3y)² – (3y)³
…[∵ (a – b)³ = a³ – 3a²b + 3ab² – b³]
= 8x³ – 3 (4x²) (3y) + 3 (2x) (9y²) – 27y³
= 8x³ – 36x²y + 54xy² – 27p³

iii. Here, A= a and B = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\)
\(\left(a+\frac{1}{2}\right)^{3}=(a)^{3}+3(a)^{2}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)+3(a)\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{2}+\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{3}\)
…[(A + B)³ = A³ + 3A²B + 3AB² + B³]
\(=\mathbf{a}^{3}+\frac{3 \mathbf{a}^{2}}{2}+\frac{3 \mathbf{a}}{4}+\frac{1}{8}\)

Question 10.
Identify the variation and solve.
It takes 5 hours to travel from one town to the other if speed of the bus is 48 km/hr. If the speed of the bus is reduced by 8 km/hr, how much time will it take for the same travel? [Chapter 7]
Solution:
Let, v represent the speed of the bus and t represent the time required to travel from one town to the other.
The speed of the bus varies inversely with the time required to travel from one town to the other.
∴ \(\mathbf{v} \propto \frac{1}{\mathbf{t}}\)
∴ \(\mathbf{v}=\mathbf{k} \times \frac{1}{\mathbf{t}}\)
where, k is the constant of variation.
∴ v × t = k …(i)
It takes 5 hours to travel from one town to the other if speed of the bus is 48 km/hr.
i.e., when v = 48, t = 5
∴ Substituting v = 48 and t = 5 in (i), we get
v × t = k
∴ 48 × 5 = k
∴ k = 240
Substituting k = 240 in (i), we get
v × t = k
∴ v × t = 240 …(ii)
Since, the speed of the bus is reduced by 8 km/hr,
∴ Speed of the bus in second case (v)
= 48 – 8 = 40 km/hr
∴ When v = 40, t = ?
∴ Substituting v = 40 in (ii), we get
v × t = 240
∴ 40 × t = 240
∴ \(t=\frac { 240 }{ 40 }\)
∴ t = 6
∴ The problem is of inverse variation and the bus would take 6 hours to travel the distance if its speed is reduced by 8 km/hr.

Question 11.
Seg AD and seg BE are medians of ∆ABC and point G is the centroid. If l(AG) = 5 cm, find l(GD). If l(GE) = 2 cm, find l(BE). [Chapter 4]

i. Point G is the centroid and seg AD is the median.
Maharashtra Board Class 8 Maths Solutions Miscellaneous Exercise 1 8

ii. Point G is the centroid and seg BE is the median.
Maharashtra Board Class 8 Maths Solutions Miscellaneous Exercise 1 9
∴ l(BG) × 1 = 2 × 2
∴ l(BG) = 4 cm
Now, l(BE) = l(BG) + l(GE)
∴ l(BE) = 4 + 2
∴ l(BE) = 6 cm

Question 12.
Convert the following rational numbers into decimal form. [Chapter 1]

ii. x² – 2x – 80
iii. 3x² – 4x + 1
Solution:
i. 2y² – 11y + 5
= 2y² – 10y – y + 5
= 2y(y – 5) – 1(y – 5)
= (y – 5)(2y – 1)
Maharashtra Board Class 8 Maths Solutions Miscellaneous Exercise 1 14

ii. x² – 2x – 80
= x² – 10x + 8x – 80
= x (x – 10) + 8 (x – 10)
= (x – 10)(x + 8)
Maharashtra Board Class 8 Maths Solutions Miscellaneous Exercise 1 15

iii. 3x² – 4x + 1
= 3x² – 3x – x + 1
= 3x(x – 1) – 1(x – 1)
= (x – 1) (3x – 1)
Maharashtra Board Class 8 Maths Solutions Miscellaneous Exercise 1 16

Question 14.

discount = 15%
Let the discount percent be x
∴x = 15%
i. Discount
Maharashtra Board Class 8 Maths Solutions Miscellaneous Exercise 1 17
= 500 × 15
= Rs 7,500

ii. Selling price = Marked price – Discount
= 50,000 – 7,500
= Rs 42,500
∴The price of the T.V. set for the customer is Rs 42,500.

Question 15.
Rajabhau sold his flat to Vasantrao for Rs 88,00,000 through an agent. The agent charged 2 % commission for both of them. Find how much commission the agent got. [Chapter 9]
Solution:
Here, selling price of the flat = Rs 88,00,000
Rate of commission = 2%
Commission = 2% of selling price
= \(\frac { 2 }{ 100 }\) × 88,00,000
= 2 × 88,000
= Rs 1,76,000
∴ Total commission = Commission from Rajabhau + Commission from Vasantrao
= Rs 1,76,000 + Rs 1,76,000
= Rs 3,52,000
∴ The agent got a commission of Rs 3,52,000.

Question 16.
Draw a parallelogram ABCD such that l(DC) = 5.5 cm, m∠D = 45°, l(AD) = 4 cm. [Chapter 8]
Solution:

l(AC) = l(AB) + l(BC) … [A – B – C]
∴ 11= l(AB) + 6.5
∴ l(AB) = 11 – 6.5
∴ l(AB) = 4.5

ii. Given, l(ST) = 3.7, l(RS) = 2.5
Maharashtra Board Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 1 Basic Concepts in Geometry Practice Set 1.1 9
l(RT) = l(RS) + l(ST) … [R – S – T]
= 2.5 + 3.7
∴ (RT) = 6.2

iii. l(XZ) = 3√7 , l(XY) = √7,
Maharashtra Board Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 1 Basic Concepts in Geometry Practice Set 1.1 10

Maharashtra Board Class 10 Maths Chapter 5 Coordinate Geometry Intext Questions and Activities

Question 1.
In the figure, seg AB || Y-axis and seg CB || X-axis. Co-ordinates of points A and C are given. To find AC, fill in the boxes given below. (Textbook pa. no. 102)
Maharashtra Board Class 10 Maths Solutions Chapter 5 Co-ordinate Geometry Practice Set 5.1 19
Solution:
In ∆ABC, ∠B = 900
∴ (AB)2 + (BC)2 = [(Ac)2 …(i) … [Pythagoras theorem]
seg CB || X-axis
∴ y co-ordinate of B = 2
seg BA || Y-axis
∴ x co-ordinate of B = 2
∴ co-ordinate of B is (2, 2) = (x1,y1)
co-ordinate of A is (2, 3) = (x2, Y2)
Since, AB || to Y-axis,
d(A, B) = Y2 – Y1
d(A,B) = 3 – 2 = 1
co-ordinate of C is (-2,2) = (x1,y1)
co-ordinate of B is (2, 2) = (x2, y2)
Since, BC || to X-axis,
d(B, C) = x2 – x1
d(B,C) = 2 – -2 = 4
∴ AC2 = 12 + 42 …[From (i)]
= 1 + 16 = 17
∴ AC = \(\sqrt { 17 }\) units …[Taking square root of both sides]

Question 1.
Given below are some triangles and lengths of line segments. Identify in which figures, ray PM is the bisector of ∠QPR.
Maharashtra Board Class 10 Maths Solutions Chapter 1 Similarity Practice Set 1.2 1
Solution:
In ∆ PQR,
\(\frac { PQ }{ PR } \) = \(\frac { 7 }{ 3 } \) (i)
\(\frac { QM }{ RM } \) = \(\frac { 3.5 }{ 1.5 } \) = \(\frac { 35 }{ 15 } \) = \(\frac { 7 }{ 3 } \) (ii)
∴ \(\frac { PQ }{ PR } \) = \(\frac { QM }{ RM } \) [From (i) and (ii)]
∴ Ray PM is the bisector of ∠QPR. [Converse of angle bisector theorem]

ii. In ∆PQR,
\(\frac { PQ }{ PR } \) = \(\frac { 10 }{ 7 } \) (i)
\(\frac { QM }{ RM } \) = \(\frac { 8 }{ 6 } \) = \(\frac { 4 }{ 3 } \) (ii)
∴ \(\frac { PQ }{ PR } \) ≠ \(\frac { QM }{ RM } \) [From (i) and (ii)]
∴ Ray PM is not the bisector of ∠QPR

iii. In ∆PQR,
\(\frac { PQ }{ PR } \) = \(\frac { 9 }{ 10 } \) (i)
\(\frac { QM }{ RM } \) = \(\frac { 3.6 }{ 4 } \) = \(\frac { 36 }{ 40 } \) = \(\frac { 9 }{ 10 } \) (ii)
∴ \(\frac { PQ }{ PR } \) = \(\frac { QM }{ RM } \) [From (i) and (ii)]
∴ Ray PM is the bisector of ∠QPR [Converse of angle bisector theorem]

Question 2.
In ∆PQR PM = 15, PQ = 25, PR = 20, NR = 8. State whether line NM is parallel to side RQ. Give reason.

∴\(\frac { PN }{ MN } \) = \(\frac { QP }{ MQ } \) [Property of angle bisector of a triangle]
∴\(\frac { 7 }{ 5 } \) = \(\frac { QP }{ 2.5 } \)
∴ QP = \(\frac { 7\times 2.5 }{ 5 } \)
∴ QP = 3.5 units

Question 4.
Measures of some angles in the figure are given. Prove that \(\frac { AP }{ PB } \) = \(\frac { AQ }{ QC } \)
Maharashtra Board Class 10 Maths Solutions Chapter 1 Similarity Practice Set 1.2 5
Solution:
Proof
∠APQ = ∠ABC = 60° [Given]
∴ ∠APQ ≅ ∠ABC
∴ side PQ || side BC (i) [Corresponding angles test]
In ∆ABC,
sidePQ || sideBC [From (i)]
∴\(\frac { AP }{ PB } \) = \(\frac { AQ }{ QC } \) [Basic proportionality theorem]

Question 5.
In trapezium ABCD, side AB || side PQ || side DC, AP = 15, PD = 12, QC = 14, find BQ.
Maharashtra Board Class 10 Maths Solutions Chapter 1 Similarity Practice Set 1.2 6
Solution:
side AB || side PQ || side DC [Given]
∴\(\frac { AP }{ PD } \) = \(\frac { BQ }{ QC } \) [Property of three parallel lines and their transversals]
∴\(\frac { 15 }{ 12 } \) = \(\frac { BQ }{ 14 } \)
∴ BQ = \(\frac { 15\times 14 }{ 12 } \)
∴ BQ = 17.5 units

Question 6.
Find QP using given information in the figure.
Maharashtra Board Class 10 Maths Solutions Chapter 1 Similarity Practice Set 1.2 7
Solution:
In ∆MNP, seg NQ bisects ∠N. [Given]
∴\(\frac { PN }{ MN } \) = \(\frac { QP }{ MQ } \) [Property of angle bisector of a triangle]
∴\(\frac { 40 }{ 25 } \) = \(\frac { QP }{ 14 } \)
∴ QP = \(\frac { 40\times 14 }{ 25 } \)
∴ QP = 22.4 units

Question 7.
In the adjoining figure, if AB || CD || FE, then find x and AE.
Maharashtra Board Class 10 Maths Solutions Chapter 1 Similarity Practice Set 1.2 8
Solution:
line AB || line CD || line FE [Given]
∴\(\frac { BD }{ DF } \) = \(\frac { AC }{ CE } \) [Property of three parallel lines and their transversals]
∴\(\frac { 8 }{ 4 } \) = \(\frac { 12 }{ X } \)
∴ X = \(\frac { 12\times 4 }{ 8 } \)
∴ X = 6 units
Now, AE AC + CE [A – C – E]
= 12 + x
= 12 + 6
= 18 units
∴ x = 6 units and AE = 18 units

Question 8.
In ∆LMN, ray MT bisects ∠LMN. If LM = 6, MN = 10, TN = 8, then find LT.
Maharashtra Board Class 10 Maths Solutions Chapter 1 Similarity Practice Set 1.2 9
Solution:
In ∆LMN, ray MT bisects ∠LMN. [Given]
∴\(\frac { LM }{ MN } \) = \(\frac { LT }{ TN } \) [Property of angle bisector of a triangle]
∴\(\frac { 6 }{ 10 } \) = \(\frac { LT }{ 8 } \)
∴ LT = \(\frac { 6\times 8 }{ 10 } \)
∴ LT = 4.8 units

Question 9.
In ∆ABC,seg BD bisects ∠ABC. If AB = x,BC x+ 5, AD = x – 2, DC = x + 2, then find the value of x.
Maharashtra Board Class 10 Maths Solutions Chapter 1 Similarity Practice Set 1.2 10
Solution:
In ∆ABC, seg BD bisects ∠ABC. [Given]
∴\(\frac { AB }{ BC } \) = \(\frac { AD }{ CD } \) [Property of angle bisector of a triangle]
∴\(\frac { x }{ x+5 } \) = \(\frac { x-2 }{ x+2 } \)
∴ x(x + 2) = (x – 2)(x + 5)
∴ x2 + 2x = x2 + 5x – 2x – 10
∴ 2x = 3x – 10
∴ 10 = 3x – 2x
∴ x = 10

Also, in ∆ABC, ray CE bisects ∠ACB. [Given]
∴\(\frac { AC }{ BC } \) = \(\frac { AE }{ EB } \) (ii) [Property of angle bisector of a triangle]
But, seg AB = seg AC (iii) [Given]
∴\(\frac { AB }{ BC } \) = \(\frac { AE }{ EB } \) (iv) [From (ii) and (iii)]

To prove: \(\frac { AB }{ AC } \) = \(\frac { BD }{ DC } \)
Construction: Draw seg DM ⊥ seg AB A – M – B and seg DN ⊥ seg AC, A – N – C.
Solution:
Proof:
In ∆ABC,
Point D is on angle bisector of ∠A. [Given]
∴DM = DN [Every point on the bisector of an angle is equidistant from the sides of the angle]
\(\frac{A(\Delta A B D)}{A(\Delta A C D)}=\frac{A B \times D M}{A C \times D N}\) [Ratio of areas of two triangles is equal to the ratio of the product of their bases and corresponding heights]
∴ \(\frac{A(\Delta A B D)}{A(\Delta A C D)}=\frac{A B}{A C}\) (ii) [From (i)]
Also, ∆ABD and ∆ACD have equal height.
∴ \(\frac{\mathrm{A}(\Delta \mathrm{ABD})}{\mathrm{A}(\Delta \mathrm{ACD})}=\frac{\mathrm{BD}}{\mathrm{CD}}\) (iii) [Triangles having equal height]
