Exercise 4.5 Solutions

1. Triangles ABC and DEF are similar 
(i) If area (ΔABC) = 16 cm2 , area(ΔDEF) = 25cm2 and  BC = 2.3 cm, find EF. 
(ii) If area (ΔABC) = 9cm2 , area(ΔDEF) = 64 cm2 and DE = 5.1 cm, find AB. 
(iii) If AC = 19 cm and DF = 8cm, find the ratio of the area of two triangles. 
(iv) If area(ΔABC) = 36cm2 , area (ΔDEF) = 64 cm2 and DE = 6.2 cm, find AB. 
(v) If AB = 1.2cm and DE = 1.4 cm, find the ratio of the areas of ΔABC and ΔDEF. 

Solution

(i) If area (ΔABC) = 16 cm2 , area(ΔDEF) = 25cm2 and  BC = 2.3 cm, find EF.

(ii) If area (ΔABC) = 9cm2 , area(ΔDEF) = 64 cm2 and DE = 5.1 cm, find AB.

(iii) If AC = 19 cm and DF = 8cm, find the ratio of the area of two triangles.

(v) If AB = 1.2cm and DE = 1.4 cm, find the ratio of the areas of ΔABC and ΔDEF.


2. In fig. below ΔACB ～ΔAPQ.  If BC = 10 m, PQ = 5cm, BA = 6.5 cm and AP = 2.8 cm, find CA and AQ. Also, find the area (ΔACB): area(ΔAPQ) 

Solution

We have, 
ΔACB ～ΔAPQ 


3. The areas of two similar triangles are 81 cm2 and 49cm2  respectively. Find the ratio of their corresponding heights. What is the ratio of their corresponding medians ? 

Solution



Since, the ratio of the area of two similar triangles is equal to the ratio of the squares of the squares of their corresponding altitudes and is also equal to the squares of their corresponding medians. 
Hence, ratio of altitudes = Ratio of medians = 9 : 7 


4. The areas of two similar triangles are 169 cm2 and 121 cm2 respectively. If the longest side of the larger triangle is 26 cm, find the longest side of the smaller triangle. 

Solution


5. Two isosceles triangles have equal vertical angles and their areas are in the ratio 36 : 25. Find the ratio of their corresponding heights.
Solution

6. The areas of two similar triangles are 25 cm2 and 36cm2 respectively. If the altitude of the first triangle 2.4 cm, find the corresponding altitude of the other.
Solution

7. The corresponding altitudes of two similar triangles are 6 cm an 9cm respectively. Find the ratio of their areas. 
Solution

8. ABC is a triangle n which ∠A = 90° , AN ⊥ BC,  BC = 12 cm and AC = 5 cm . Find the ratio of the areas of ΔANC and ΔABC. 
Solution

9. In Fig. 4.178, DE ||BC

(i) If DE = 4cm, BC = 6cm and Area (ΔADE) = 16 cm2 , find the area of ΔABC. 
(ii) If DE = 4cm, BC = 8cm and Area (ΔADE) = 25 cm2 , find the area of ΔABC. 
(iii) If DE : BC = 3 : 5. Calculate the ratio of the areas of ΔADE and the trapezium BCED.
Solution

We have, DE||BC, DE = 4cm, BC = 6 cm and area(ΔADE) = 16cm2 
In ΔADE and ΔABC 
∠A = ∠A  [Common] 
∠ADE = ∠ABC  [Corresponding angles] 
Then, ΔADE ～ΔABC  [By AA similarity] 
∴ By area of similar triangle theorem 


10. In ΔABC, D and E are the mid - Points of AB and AC respectively. Find the ratio of the areas of ΔADE and ΔABC 
Solution

11. In Fig., 4.179, ΔABC and ΔDBC are on the same base BC. If AD and BC intersect at O, prove that area(ΔABC)/area(ΔDBC) = AO/DO
Solution
We know that area of a triangle = 1/2 × Base × height 
Since ΔABC and ΔDBC are one same base. 
Therefore ratio between their areas will be as ratio of their heights. 
Let us draw two perpendiculars AP and DM on line BC> 


12. ABCD is a trapezium in which AB||CD. The diagonals AC and BD intersect at O. Prove that :
