Question 1.
A girl walks 500 m towards east and then 1200 m towards north. Find her distance from the starting point. (CBSE Delhi 2016)
Answer:
Triangles Class 10 Extra Questions Maths Chapter 6 with Solutions 1
Let A be the starting point. Then, we have
(AC)2 = (AB)2 + (BC)2
= (500 m)2 + (1200 m)2
= 250000 m2 + 1440000 m2
= 1690000 m2 ⇒ √l690000 m2
∴ AC = 1300 m
Hence, the required distance = 1300 m

∠E = ∠C
But ∠D = ∠E [Given]
Hence ∠B = ∠C
∴ AB = AC
[Sides opp. to equal angles of a ∆ are equal]
∴ ∆BAC is an isosceles ∆.

Question 1.
A peacock is sitting on the top of a pillar, which is 9 m high. From a point 27 m away from the bottom of the pillar, a snake is coming to its hole at the base of the pillar. Seeing the snake, the Peacock pouncies on it. If their speeds are equal, at what distance from the whole is the snake caught?
Answer:
Let the position of hole is at ‘H’ and snake be at ‘S’. If the point ‘P’ represents the peacock and let the distance between hole to the place where they meet = x metres.
Triangles Class 10 Extra Questions Maths Chapter 6 with Solutions 36
∴ SH = 27 m
∵ Their speeds are equal
∴ SC = (27 – x) m
PC = (27 – x) m
In right ∆ PHC, we have:
CH2 + PH2 = PC2 [By Pythagoras Theorem]
⇒ (9)2 + (x)2 = (27 – x)2
⇒ 81 + x2 = 729 – 54x + x2
⇒ 54x = 729 – 81 = 648
⇒ x = \(\frac{648}{54}\)= 12 m
Hence, the required distance = 12 m.

Question 2.
Prove that in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. [CBSE Sample Paper 2017, CBSE 2018, 2019, 2019(C) 2019 SQP (Basic)]

Answer:
Let ∆ ABC is right angled at B.
Construction: Draw BD ⊥ AC.
In ∆ ADB and ∆ ABC
Triangles Class 10 Extra Questions Maths Chapter 6 with Solutions 37
∠ADB = ∠ABC = 90°
∠A = ∠A (Common)
∴ ∆ ADB ~ ∆ ABC
⇒ \(\frac{\mathrm{AD}}{\mathrm{AB}}=\frac{\mathrm{AB}}{\mathrm{AC}}\)
⇒ AB2 = AD × AC ………….. (i)
Similarly, ∆CDB ~ ∆CBA
⇒ \(\frac{\mathrm{CD}}{\mathrm{BC}}=\frac{\mathrm{BC}}{\mathrm{AC}}\)
⇒ BC2 = CD × AC …………… (ii)
Add (i) and (ii)
AB2 + BC2 = AD × AC + CD × AC
= (AD + CD) × AC
= AC × AC = AC2
⇒ AB2 + BC2 = AC2
Hence proved

Second part:
Triangles Class 10 Extra Questions Maths Chapter 6 with Solutions 38
Let AB and CD be two parallel walls and BE and ED be two positions of the same ladder of length 15 m.
In rt.∠d ∆EAB
AE2 + AB2 = BE2
⇒ AE2 = BE2 – AB2 = 152 – 122 = 225 -144 = 81
⇒ AE = √81 = 9
In ∆ECD,
EC2 = DE2 – DC2
= 152 – 92
= 225 – 81
= 144
∴ EC = √144 = 12
∴ Width of the street = AE + EC = 9 + 12 = 21 m.

Answer:
Let us draw EOF || AB ⇒ OE ⊥ AD and OF⊥BC
Arithmetic Progressions Class 10 Extra Questions Maths Chapter 5 with Solutions 42
In ∆ OFB
∵ ∠F = 90°
∴ Using Pythagoras theorem, we have
OB2 = OF2 + BF2
In ∆ OED ∠E = 90°
∴ Using Pythagoras theorem, we have
OD2 = OE2 + DE2
Adding (1) and (2), we get OB2 + OD2
= OF2 + BF2 + OE2 + DE2
= OF2 + AE2 + OE22 + CF2 [ ∵ BF = AE and CF = DE]
= (OF2 + CF2) + (OE2 + AE2)
= OC2 + OA2 = OC2 + 52
⇒ 62 + 82 = OC2 + 52
⇒ 36 + 64 = OC2 + 25
OC2 = 36 + 64 – 25 = 75
⇒ OC = √75 = √25 × 3 = √3 × 5
Thus, OC = 5√3 cm.

Arithmetic Progressions Class 10 Extra Questions Maths Chapter 5 with Solutions 47
Answer:
In ∆CED, we have ∠CED = 90°
[∵ Angle in semicircle is a right angle]
∠1 = ∠2 = 45°
[∵ CE = DE (given) and ∠1 + ∠2 = 90°]
In ∆AOB, ∠AOB = 90° [given]
⇒ OA = OB [Radii of same circle]
⇒ ∠3 = ∠4 = 45°
Now in ∆CED and ∆AOB
∠CED = ∠AOB [each 90°]
∴ ∠1 = ∠3 [each 45°]
∴ ∠2 = ∠4 [each 45°]
∆CED ~ ∆AOB [AAA similarity]
⇒ \(\frac{{ar}(\Delta \mathrm{CED})}{{ar}(\Delta \mathrm{AOB})}=\frac{\mathrm{CD}^2}{\mathrm{AB}^2}\) [Using Theorem] …….. (i)
Now CD = 2OD = 2OB
⇒ CD2 = 4(OB2)
In right ∆AOB
AB2 = OA2 + OB2 = OB2 + OB2 = 2(OB)2
[∵ OA = OB (Radii of same circle)]
From (i) and (ii), we get
