solution :

   Given,

   AC = AD and AB bisect ∠A.

   Find,

   ` \▵ABC≅▵ABD\ `

   BC and BD

   In the Fig,

   AB bisect ∠A[ Given ]

   ` \=>∠BAC=∠BAD\ `

   Now,

   In ` \▵ABC\ ` and ` \▵ABD\ `,

   AC = AD[ Given ]

   ∠CAB = ∠DAB[ Given ]

   AB = AB[ Common ]

   So,

   ` \▵ABC≅▵ABD\ `[ SAS rule ]

   Then,

   BC = BD[ CPCT ]

   I say about BC and BD is equal.

   We say,

   BC ` \||\ ` AD

   CD is a transversal line.

   ∠BCD = ∠ADC` \-----(I)\ `[ Alternate interior angles ]

   Now,

   In ` \▵CBO\ ` and ` \▵DAO\ `,

   ∠BCD = ∠ADO[ From (I) ]

   BC = AD[ Given ]

   ∠CBO = ∠DAO[ Given ]

   so,

   ` \▵CBO≅▵DAO\ `[ ASA rule ]

   In ` \▵ABC\ ` and ` \▵CDA\ `,

   ∠BAC = ∠DCA[ From (I) ]

   AC = AC[ Common ]

   ∠BCA = ∠DAC[ From (II) ]

NCERT-Solutions-for-Class-9-Maths-Chapter-7-Triangles-Ex-7.1-Q5

solution :

   Given,

   l bisect ∠A and BP and BQ are perpendiculars from B to the arms of ∠A.

   Find,

   (i) ` \▵APB≅▵AQB\ `

   ∠BAQ = ∠BAP` \-----(I)\ `

   Now,

   In ` \▵APB\ ` and ` \▵AQB\ `,

   ∠P = ∠Q[ 90° Given ]

   ∠BAP = ∠BAQ[ From (I) ]

   AB = AB[ Common ]

   So,

   (i) ` \▵APB≅▵AQB\ `[ AAS rule ]

   Now,

   (ii) BP = BQ[ CPCT ]

   So,

   It can be said the point B is equidistant from the arms of A.

6.    In Fig. 7.21, AC = AE, AB = AD and ∠BAD = ∠EAC. Show that BC = DE.

NCERT-Solutions-for-Class-9-Maths-Chapter-7-Triangles-Ex-7.1-Q6

solution :

   Given,

   AC = AE, AB = AD and ∠BAD = ∠EAC.

   Find,

   BC = DE

   In the Fig,

   ∠BAD = ∠EAC[ Given ]

   Add ∠DAC both side,

   ∠BAD + ∠DAC = ∠EAC + ∠DAC

   ⇒ ∠BAC = ∠EAD` \-----(I)\ `

   Now,

   In ` \▵ABC\ ` and ` \▵ADE\ `,

   AB = AD[ Given ]

   ∠BAC = ∠EAD[ From (I) ]

   AC = AE[ Given ]

   So,

NCERT-Solutions-for-Class-9-Maths-Chapter-7-Triangles-Ex-7.1-Q7

solution :

   Given,

   AP = BP, ∠BAD = ∠ABE and ∠EPA = ∠DPB.

   Find,

   (i) ` \▵DAP≅▵EBP\ `

   (ii) AD = BE

   In the Fig,

   ∠EPA = ∠DPB[ Given ]

   Add ∠EPD both side.

   ∠EPA + ∠EPB = ∠DPB + ∠EPD

   ⇒ ∠APD = ∠EPB` \-----(I)\ `

   Now,

   In `\ ▵DAP\ ` and ` \▵EBP\ `,

   ∠DAP = ∠EBP[ Given ]

   AP = BP[ Given ]

   ∠APD = ∠EPB[ From (I) ]

NCERT-Solutions-for-Class-9-Maths-Chapter-7-Triangles-Ex-7.1-Q8

solution :

   Given,

   ` \▵ABC\ ` is right angled triangle, ∠C = 90°, AM = BM and DM = CM.

   Find,

   (i)  ` \▵AMC≅▵BMD\ `

   (ii)  ∠DBC is a right angle.

   AM = BM[ Given ]

   ∠AMC = ∠BMD[ Vertically opposit angles ]



   CM = DM[ Given ]

   So,

   (i) ` \▵AMC≅▵BMD\ `[ SAS rule ]

   ∠ACM = ∠BDC[ CPCT ]

   AC = BD` \-----(I)\ `[ CPCT ]

   Now,

   ∠ACD = ∠BDC[ Alternate interior angles ]

   So,

   We say,

   AC ` \||\ ` DB

   In the Fig.

   ∠DBC + ∠ACB = 180°[ Co-interior angles ]

   ` \=>∠DBC + 90° = 180°\ `[ Given ∠C = 90° ]

   ` \=> ∠DBC=180°-90°\ `

   ` \=>∠DBC=90°\ `

   (ii) ∠DBC is a right angle.

   Now,

   In ` \▵DBC\ ` and ` \▵ACB\ `,

   BC = BC[ Common ]

   ∠DBC = ∠ACB[ right angles ]

   DB = AC[ From (I) ]

   So,

   (iii) ` \▵DBC≅▵ACB\ `[ SAS rule ]

   DC = AB[ CPCT ]

   Now,

   DM = CM[ Given ]

   So,

   DC = AB

   ⇒ DM + CM = AB

   ⇒ CM + CM = AB

   ⇒ 2 CM = AB

   (iv) ` \CM=\frac{1}{2}AB\ `
