Answer the following :

Question 1. Express locate \(\sqrt{2}\) on the number line.
Solution:

Question 2. Express \(0 \ overlines {99}\) in the form of p/q, where p and q are integers and 0.

Solution:

\(0 \ overlines {99}\)= 0.99999……..

Let x = 0.99999…………

100x= 100 x 0.9999…………..

100x=99.9999…………..

100x=99+0.9999……………

100x = 99 + x 1

100x-x = 99

99x=9

x = 99/99 = 1

Thus 0.99999 = 1 = 1/1

1 Here P = 1, q = 1

Question 9. In AABC 5 AD is the perpendicular bisector of BC. S.T. ΔABCis an isosceles triangle in which AB = AC.

Solution:

ΔABC, AD ⊥ BC,

In ΔADB and ΔADC

∠APB = ∠ADC = 90°

DB = DC

∴ AD is the perpendicular bisector of BC

AD =AD (common)

∴ AADB ≅ AADC (SAS)

∴ AB = AC (CPCT)

Question 10. Find the volume of a sphere whose 7cm radius is

Question 12. In the fig, sides QP and RQ of APQR are produced to points S and T respectively. If ∠SPR = 135° and ∠PQT = 110°, find ∠PRQ

Solution: ∠SPR + ∠QPR = 180° (linear pair)

135° + ∠QPR = 180°

∠QPR = 45°

∠PQT + ∠PQR = 180° (linear pair)

110″+ ∠PQR =180°

∠PQR = 70°

In APQR, ∠PQR + ∠QPR + ∠PRQ = 180°

70° + 45° + ∠PRQ = 180°

∴∠PRQ = 65°

Question 13. In fig, if x + y = w + z, then prove that AOB is a line.

2k = 360°

k = 360°/2

k= 180°

∴ x + y = w + z = k

x + y = w + z = 180°

Question 14.ABC is a triangle in which altitudes BE and CF to sides AC and AB are equal  S.T.

1. ΔABE ≅ΔACF
2. AB = AC

Solution:

In ΔABE and ΔACF

∠AEB = ∠AFC = 90° (given)

altitude BE = altitude CF (given)

∠A is common

∴ΔABE = ΔACF

AB = AC (CPCT)

∴AB is an isosceles triangle

Question 15.ABCD is a quadrilateral in which P, Q, R, and S are midpoints of the sides AB, BC, CD, and DA. AC diagonal S.T. SR ||  AC and SR= 1/2 AC
Solution:

In A ADC, S, and R are the midpoints of the sides AD and CD respectively.

∴By the midpoint theorem, the line joining the midpoints of any two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and half of the third side.

Question 17. In a cricket match, a batswoman hits a boundary 6 times out of 30 balls she plays. Find the probability that she did not hit a boundary.

Solution:

Total number of balls played = 30

Number of boundaries hit = 6

Number of balls in which she has not hit the boundary =30-6 = 24 ∴Probability=

(No. of times she does not hit the boundary)/

(Total number of balls played)

p= 24/30 = 4/5

Question 3. In fig, if PQ ⊥PS. PQ || SR, ∠SQR = 28° and ∠QRT = 65°, then find the values of x and y

Solution:

PQ || SR and QR is a transversal line

∴ ∠PQR = ∠QRT (Alternate interior angles)

x + 28° = 65°

x = 65°- 28°

x = 37°

By using the angle sum property in ΔSPQ

∠SPQ + x + y = 180°

90°+37° +y = 180°

y = 53°

∴ x = 37°

y = 53°

Question 4.In fig. AC =AE, AB = AD, and ∠BAD = ∠EAC S.T. BC = DE

Solution:

∠BAD = ∠EAC (given)

Adding ∠DAC on both sides,

∠BAD + ∠DAC = ∠EAC + ∠DAC

∴∠BAC-∠DAE

In ΔBAC and ΔDAE

AB =AD (given)

∠BAC = ∠DAE

AC = AE (given)

∴ ΔBAC ≅ ΔDAE (SAS)

∴ BC=DE (CPCT)

Question 4. S.T. the diagonals of a parallelogram divide it into four triangles of equal area.

Solution:

We know that the diagonals A and B of a parallelogram bisect, each other.

∴‘O’ is the midpoint of AC and BD.

BO is the median in ΔABC.

∴It will divide it into two triangles of equal areas.

∴Area (ΔAOB) =Area (ΔBOC)…………………..(1)

In ΔBCD, CO is the median

∴Area (ΔBOC) =Area (ΔCOD)……………………. (2)

similarly, Area(ΔCOD)=Area (ΔAOD) …(3)

From (1) (2) & (3)

Area (ΔAOB) = Area (ΔBOC)

= Area (ΔCOD) = Area (ΔAOD)

The diagonals of a parallelogram divide it into four triangles of equal area.

Question 5. Construct a triangle ABC in which Be = 8cm,
∠B = 45° and AB – AC = 3.5cm
Solution:

Answer the following:

Question 1. The diameter of the moon is approximately one-fourth of the diameter of the earth. What fraction of the volume of the earth is the volume of the moon?

Solution:

The volume of the moon = 4/3 πr³
   
\(\begin{aligned}
& =\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3\left(\frac{d}{8}\right)^3 \\
& =\frac{4}{3} \times \frac{\pi d^3}{512}
\end{aligned}\)

The volume of the earth = 4/3 πr³

The volume of the moon=1/64 volume of the earth.

Question 2. Find the area of a triangle with two sides which are 18cm and 10cm and the perimeter is 42cm.

Solution:

Let the third side of the triangle 42cm

perimeter = 42cm

18 + 10 + x = 42

28 + x = 42

x = 42 – 28

x = 14

x = perimeter/2 =42/2 = 21cm

By Heron’s formula

Area of a triangle= \(\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}\)

Question 3. Prove that equal chords in a circle are equidistant from the center.

Solution:

Data: A circle with center‘ O’, chords AB and CD such that AB = CD. Draw OP ⊥ AB and OQ ⊥ CD.

To prove: OP = OQ

Construction: Join  OB and OD

Proof: AP = PB

CQ = QD

PB = 1/2 AB and QD = 1/2 CD.

In ΔOPB and ΔOQD

∠OPB= ∠OQD (both equal to 90°)

OB = OD (radii of the circle)

PB = QD

∴ OPB≅ QQD

OB= OD (radii of the circle)

PB = QD

∴OPB≅ OQD (RHS theorem)

OP = OQ (CPCT)

Question 4. Draw the graph of 4x-y = 5
Solution:

Scale : x-axis ; 1cm = 1unit y-axis ; 1cm = 1unit

Time (t) = 1/2 sec
Initial velocity u = 0ms^-1
Acceleration due to gravity g = 10ms²
Acceleration of the car a = 10ms² (downward)

1. speed v=at
   = 10 ms-2 x 0.5sec v = 5ms^-1
2. average speed = \(\frac{u+v}{2}\)\(=\frac{0 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}+5 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}}{2}\)= 2.5ms^-1
3. Distance travelled s = 1/2 at²\(=\frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times(0.5)^2\)\(=\frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times 0.25\)
   s = 1.25n
