State whether the following quadrilaterals are similar or not :

Solution : In the given figures since sides are proportional but corresponding angles are not equal. Hence, we can say that these quadrilateral are not similar.

Give two different examples of pair of (i) similar figures (ii) non-similar figures.

Solution : (i)  Pair of similar figures examples are : (a)  any two circles. (b)  any two squares. (ii)  Pair of non-similar figures examples are : (a)  scalene triangle and equilateral triangle. (b)  equilateral triangle and right angled triangle.

Fill in the blanks using the correct word given in the brackets :

Question : Fill in the blanks using the correct word given in the brackets : (i)  All circles are ………….. . (congruent, similar) (ii)  All squares are ……….. . (similar, congruent). (iii)  All  …………….    triangles are similar. (isosceles, equilateral) Solution  : (i)  Similar (ii) similar (iii) equilateral

ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral as shown in figure. Find the angles of the cyclic quadrilateral.

Solution : We know that the sum of opposite angles of cyclic quadrilateral is 180 degrees. Angles A and C, Angles B and D form pairs of opposite angles in the given cyclic quadrilateral ABCD. \(\angle\)A + \(\angle\)C = 180   and  \(\angle\)B + \(\angle\)D = 180 \(\implies\)  (4y + 20) + 4x = 180   and  …

In \(\triangle\) ABC, \(\angle\)C = 3\(\angle\)B = 2(\(\angle\)A + \(\angle\)B). Find the three angles of the triangle.

Solution : Given,  \(\angle\)C = 2(\(\angle\)A + \(\angle\)B)           …….(1) Adding 2\(\angle\)C on both sides in equation (1), we get \(\angle\)C + 2\(\angle\)C = 2(\(\angle\)A + \(\angle\)B)  + 2\(\angle\)C \(\implies\)  3\(\angle\)C = 2(\(\angle\)A + \(\angle\)B + \(\angle\)C) Since, \(\angle\)A + \(\angle\)B + \(\angle\)C = 180 degrees \(\implies\)  \(\angle\)C = \(2\over 3\) \(\times\) …

The students of a class are made to stand in rows. If 3 students are extra in a row, there would be 1 row less. If 3 students are less in a row, there would be 2 rows more. Find the number of students in the class.

Solution : Let students in each row be x. And Let number of rows be y. then, total number of students = xy Case 1 : When 3 students are extra in a row, then number of rows becomes (y – 1) xy = (x + 3)(y – 1) \(\implies\)  x – 3y + 3 …

A train covered a certain distance at a uniform speed. If the train would have been 10 km/hr faster, it would have taken 2 hours less than the scheduled time. And if the train were slower by 10 km/hr, it would have taken 3 hours more than the scheduled time. Find the distance covered by the train.

Solution : Let x km/hr  be the original speed of the train and y hrs be the time taken by the train to complete the journey. Then, Distance covered = xy km Case 1 : When  speed = (x + 10) km/hr time taken = (y – 2) hr Distance = (x + 10) (y …
