Question 2

 

In a triangle PQR; QR = PR and ∠P = 36o. Which is the largest side of the triangle?

Answer

Ans 2 Exercise - 11 Inequalities Concise Class-9th Selina ICSE Maths

Since ∠R is the greatest, therefore, PQ is the largest side.

Question 3

If two sides of a triangle are 8 cm and 13 cm, then the length of the third side is between a cm and b cm. Find the values of a and b such that a is less than b.

Answer

The sum of any two sides of the triangle is always greater than third side of the triangle.

Third side < 13+8 =21 cm.

The difference between any two sides of the triangle is always less than the third side of the triangle.

Third side > 13-8 =5 cm.

Therefore, the length of the third side is between 5 cm and 9 cm, respectively.

The value of a =5 cm and b= 21cm.

Question 10

In a quadrilateral ABCD; prove that:

(ii) AB + BC + CD + DA > 2AC

(iii) AB + BC + CD + DA > 2BD

Answer

Ans 10 Exercise - 11 Inequalities Concise Class-9th Selina ICSE Maths

Const: Join AC and BD.

(i) In ΔABC,

AB + BC > AC….(i)[Sum of two sides is greater than the

third side]

In ΔACD,

AC + CD > DA….(ii)[ Sum of two sides is greater than the

third side]

Adding (i) and (ii)

AB + BC + AC + CD > AC + DA

AB + BC + CD > AC + DA – AC

AB + BC + CD > DA …….(iii)

(ii)In ΔACD,

CD + DA > AC….(iv)[Sum of two sides is greater than the

third side]

Adding (i) and (iv)

AB + BC + CD + DA > AC + AC

AB + BC + CD + DA > 2AC

(iii) In ΔABD,

AB + DA > BD….(v)[Sum of two sides is greater than the

third side]

In ΔBCD,

BC + CD > BD….(vi)[Sum of two sides is greater than the

third side]

Adding (v) and (vi)

AB + DA + BC + CD > BD + BD

AB + DA + BC + CD > 2BD

(ii) BP > PC

………………..

Answer

Answer

Ans 12 Exercise - 11 Inequalities Concise Class-9th Selina ICSE Maths

Question 13

Prove that the straight line joining the vertex of an isosceles triangle to any point in the base is smaller than either of the equal sides of the triangle.

Answer

Ans 13 Exercise - 11 Inequalities Concise Class-9th Selina ICSE Maths

We know that exterior angle of a triangle is always greater than each of the interior opposite angles.

In  ΔABD,

∠ADC > ∠B ……..(i)

In ABC,

AB = AC

∠B = ∠C …..(ii)

From (i) and (ii)

∠ADC > ∠ C

(i) In ΔADC,

∠ADC > ∠C

AC > AD ………(iii) [side opposite to greater angle is greater]

(ii) In ΔABC,

AB = AC

AB > AD[ From (iii)]

Question 14

In the following diagram; AD = AB and AE bisects angle A. Prove that:

(i) BE = DE

(ii) ∠ABD > ∠C

Question 15

The sides AB and AC of a triangle ABC are produced; and the bisectors of the external angles at B and C meet at P. Prove that if AB > AC, then PC > PB.

Answer

Ans 15 Exercise - 11 Inequalities Concise Class-9th Selina ICSE Maths-compressed

Question 16

In the following figure; AB is the largest side and BC is the smallest side of triangle ABC.

Write the angles xo, yo and zo in ascending order of their values.

Answer

Since AB is the largest side and BC is the smallest side of the triangle ABC

Since AB is the largest side and BC is the smallest side of the triangle ABC.
AB > AC > BC
⇒ 180° – z° > 180° – y° > 180° – x°
⇒ – z° > -y° > – x°
⇒ z° > y° > x°.

Question 17

Question 19

In isosceles triangle ABC, sides AB and AC are equal. If point D lies in base BC and point E lies on BC produced (BC being produced through vertex C), prove that:

(i) AC > AD

(ii) AE > AC

(iii) AE > AD

Answer

Ans 19 Exercise - 11 Inequalities Concise Class-9th Selina ICSE Maths

We know that the bisector of the angle at the vertex of an isosceles triangle bisects the base at right angle.

Using Pythagoras theorem in AFB,

AB2 = AF2 + BF2…………..(i)

In AFD,

AD2 = AF2 + DF2…………..(ii)

We know ABC is isosceles triangle and AB = AC

AC2 = AF2 + BF2 ……..(iii)[ From (i)]

Subtracting (ii) from (iii)

AC2 – AD2 = AF2 + BF2 – AF2 – DF2

AC2 – AD2 = BF2 – DF2

Let 2DF = BF

AC2 – AD2 = (2DF)2 – DF2

or  AC2 – AD2 = 4DF2 – DF2

AC2 = AD2 + 3DF2

hence AC2 > AD2

AC > AD

Similarly, AE > AC and AE > AD.

Question 20

Given: ED = EC

Prove: AB + AD > BC.

…………

Answer
