In the given figure , DEFG is a square and angleBAC= 90^(@)prove that(i) triangleAGF~ triangleDBG(ii) triangleAGF~triangleEFC

Answer»

Solution :(i) Since `squareDEFG` is a SQUARE
GF||BC
`Rightarrow angle2 = angle4 and angle6 = angle9`( CORRESPONDING ` angles`)
Now in ` triangle AGF and triangle DBG`
`angle5 = angle1`( each `90^(@)`)
` angle4 =angle2 ` (corrersponding `angles`)
( AA corollary Hence proved.)
(ii) In `triangleAGF and triangleDBC,`
`angle5 = angle8 ("each" 90^(@))`
`angle4 = angle2` ( corresponding `angles`)
( AA corollary)
(iii) since `triangleAGF ~ triangleDBG` [proved in (i)]
and `triangleAGF~triangleEFC` [ proved in (ii)]
`triangleAGF ~ triangleDBG~triangleEFC`Hence proved.
Now since
`(DB)/(EF) = (DG)/(EC) ` (corrsponding sides of similar `triangles` are proportional)
`Rightarrow DGxx EF= BD xx EC`
`Rightarrow DExx DE= BD xx EC` ( DG= FE= DE being the sides of sqaure)
`DE^(2)= BD xx EC`
BUT
If we have to prove only the fourth part i.e. prove that `DE^(2) = BD xx EC` then no need to prove first TWO parts.
For `DE^(2)= BD xx EC` , we need to provetwo `triangles` similar which contains DE, BD andEC.
Obviously, these are ` triangle GBD and triangleFEC`.
`{:(angle1=angle8 ""("each "90^(@)),|,"Searching for second Angles"),(,"As we know that" angle5=90^(@),),(,"Also," angle2+angle9=90^(@)("angle sum property")....(1),),(,:."""Also Since"angle1=90^(@),),(,angle2+ANGLE3=90^(@)"(angle sum property)...(2)",),(,:. "From (1) and (2) , We get " ,),(,rArr "" angle2+angle3=angle2+angle9 ""(each 90^(@)),),(,rArr "" angle3=angle9,):}`
Now in `triangleGBD and triangleFEC`.
`angle1 = angle8( each 90^(@))`
`angle3 = angle9` ( just proved)
( AA corollary)
` DG xxEF= BD xx EC`
`DExx DE = BD xx EC ` ( DG = EF = DF , sides of a square)
`Rightarrow DE^(2) = BD xx EC`Hence proved.

A train covers a distance of 360 km at a uniform speed. Had the speed been 5km/hour more, it would have taken 48 minutes less for the journey. Find the original speed of the train

Answer»

SOLUTION :Let the ORIGINAL speed of the train be x km/h
`therefore (360)/(x) -(360)/(x+5) = (48)/(60)`
`RARR x^(2) + 5 x - 2250 =0`
`rArr (x+ 50) 9x-45) =0 therefore x = 45`
Hence original speed of the train = 45km/h
