Drw a DeltaABC in which BC = 6 cm, CA = 5 cm and AB = 4 cm. Construct and triangle similar to it and of scale factor 3/5.

Answer»

SOLUTION :Here, SCALE factor is `5/3gt1,` so the resulting figure will be larger.
Steps of Construction :
1. Draw BC = 6 cm.
2. Draw arc `BA_(1)=4` cm from B.
3. Draw arc `CA_(2)=5` cm from C.
4. Arc `CA_(2)and BA_(1)` intersect at A.
5. Join AB and AC.
6. Drew acute angle CBX below BC.
7. Cut BX into equal parts by arcs at `B_(1),B_(2),B_(3),B_(4)and B_(5).`
8. Join `B_(3)C.`
9. Draw `B_(5)C'"||"B_(3)C` by making ALTERNATE angles. C' is on BC produced.
10. Drew `C'A"||"CA` which meet BA produced at A'. Now, `DeltaA'BC` is the required triangle.
Justification :
`""DeltaBCB_(3)~DeltaBC'B_(5)""("by AA critertion of similarly")`
`therefore""(BB_(3))/(BB_(5))-(BC)/(BC')""(BB_(1)=B_(1)B_(2)=...xthereforeBB_(3)=3xandBB_(5)=5X)`
`implies""(3x)/(5x)=(BC)/(BC')`
`""DeltaABC~DeltaA'BC'""("by AA criterion of similiarity")`
`implies""(A'B)/(AB)=(A'C)/(AC)=(BC)/(BC')`

A(6, 1), B(8, 2) and C(9, 4) are three vertices of parallelogram ABCD. If E is the mid-point of DC, then find the area of DeltaADE.

Answer»

Solution :Let the co-ordinates of point D be `(x_(4), y_(4))`
Now, the mid-point of BD = mid-point of AC
`rArr""((x_(4)+8)/(2), (y_(4)+2)/(2))=((6+9)/(2), (1+4)/(2))`

`rArr""(x_(4)+8)/(2)=(15)/(2)rArr""x_(4)=7`
and `""(y_(4)+2)/(2)=(5)/(2)" "rArr""y_(4)=3`
`therefore""D-= (7, 3)`
Mid-point E of CD `-=((7+9)/(2), (3+4)/(2))-=(8, (7)/(2))`
Now, AREA of`DeltaADE=(1)/(2)[6(3-(7)/(2))+7((7)/(2)-1)+8(1-3)]=(1)/(2)(-3+(35)/(2)-16)=-(3)/(4)`
`therefore` Area of `DeltaADE=(3)/(4)` square units (neglecting negative sign)

Answer»

Solution :Setps of Construction :
1. Draw line segment BC = 8 CM.
2. Construct OQ the perpendicular bisector of line segment BC meeting BC at P.
3. Along PO cut off PA = 4 cm.
4. Join BA and CA. So, `DeltaABC` is the required isosceles triangle.
5. From B, draw any ray BX making an acute `ANGLECBX`.
6. Locate three points `B_(1),B_(2)and B_(3)` on BX such that `BB_(1)=B_(1)B_(2)=B_(2)B_(3).`
7. Join `B_(2)C` and from `B_(3)` draw a line `B_(3)N"||"B_(2)C` intersecting the extended line segment BC at N.
8. From point N, draw `NM"||"CA` meeting MA produced at M. Then, `DeltaMBN` is the required triangle.
Justification :
`because""B_(3)N"||"B_(2)C""("by construction")`

A telecom company offers calls for day and night hours. Calls can be aviled 8 hours during the day and 4 hours at night and at most 10 hours a day . The profit on the day calls is Rs. 60 per hour, and on night calls Rs. 50 per hours. How many hours during the day and at night a customer must use to fetch amaximum profit to the company ?

Answer»

6 HOURS during day and 4 hours at night
5 hours during day and 5 hours at night
8 hours during day and 2 hours at night
6 hours during day and 2 hours at night .

Solution :Let the number of hours used duringthe day =x
Let the number of hours used at night =y
Given , `x+y LE 10 ,x le 8 and y le 4`.
