Very Short Answers [2 Marks]
Question 1.
In the given figure if ∠A = ∠C then prove that ∆AOB ~ ∆COD.
Solution:
In triangles ∆AOB and ∆COD
∠A = ∠C (Y given)
∠AOB = ∠COD [∵ Vertically opposite angles]
∠ABO = ∠CDO [Remaining angles of ∆AOB and ∆COD]
∴ ∆AOB ~ ∆COD [∵ AAA similarity]
∵ ∆AOB ~ ∆COD [∵ AAA similarity]
Question 2.
In the figure AB ⊥ BC and DE ⊥ AC prove that ∆ABC ~ ∆AED.
Solution:
In triangles ∆ABC and ∆AED
∠ABC = ∠AED = 90°
∠BAC = ∠EAD [Each equal to A]
∠ADE = ∠ACB [∵ Remaining angles]
∴ By AAA criteria of similarity ∆ABC ~ ∆AED

Question 1.
In the figure with respect to ABEP and CPD prove that BP × PD = EP × PC.
Solution:
Proof:
In ∆EPB and ∆DPC
∠PEB = ∠PDC = 90° [given]
∠EPB = ∠DPC [Vertically opposite angles]
∠EPB = ∠PCD [∵ Remaining angles]
Thus,

Question 1.
P and Q are points on sides AB and AC respectively of ∆ABC. If AP = 3 cm PB = 6cm, AQ = 5 cm and QC = 10 cm, show that BC = 3 PQ.
Solution:
AB = AP + PB
= 3 + 6 cm = 9 cm
AC = AQ + QC = 510 cm = 15
