EXERCISE 6.5
1. Sides of triangles are given below. Determine which of them are right
triangles.In case of a right triangle, write the length of its hypotenuse.
(i) 7 cm, 24 cm, 25 cm
Let the ∆ABC whose sides are AB, BC and CA.
Let AB = 7 cm BC = 24 cm and AC = 25 cm
For the right angle triangle one angle must be formed 90° and sum of square of
any two side must be equal to square the third side.
AB2 + BC2 = AC2
72 + 242 = 252
49 + 576 = 625
625 = 625
Therefore ∆ABC is a right angled triangle and AC is the hypotenuse.
(ii) 3 cm, 8 cm, 6 cm
Let the ∆ABC whose sides are AB, BC and CA.
Let AB = 3 cm BC = 8 cm and AC = 6 cm
For the right angle triangle one angle must be formed 90° and sum of square of any
two side must be equal to square the third side.
AB2 + AC2 = BC2
32 + 62 = 82
9 + 36 = 49
45 ≠ 49

Therefore ∆ABC is not a right angled triangle.
(iii) 50 cm, 80 cm, 100 cm
Let the ∆ABC whose sides are AB, BC and CA.
Let AB = 50 cm BC = 80 cm and AC = 100 cm
For the right angle triangle one angle must be formed 90° and sum of square of any
two sides must be equal to square the third side.
AB2 + BC2 = AC2
502 + 802 = 1002
2500 + 6400 = 10000
8900 ≠ 10000
Therefore ∆ABC is not a right angled triangle.
(iv) 13 cm, 12 cm, 5 cm
Let the ∆ABC whose sides are AB, BC and CA.
Let AB = 5 cm BC = 12 cm and AC = 13 cm
For the right angle triangle one angle must be formed 90° and sum of square of any
two sides must be equal to square the third side.
AB2 + BC2 = AC2
52 + 122 = 132
25 + 144 = 169
169 = 169 : Therefore ∆ABC is a right angled triangle and AC is the hypotenuse.
2. PQR is a triangle right angled at P and M is apoint on QR such that PM ⊥
QR. Show that
PM2 = QM .MR.
Let ∠MPR = 𝑥
www.amreshtiwari.com
In ∆MPR,
∠MRP + ∠MPR + ∠PMR = 180°
∠MRP = 180° − 90° − 𝑥
∠MRP = 90° − 𝑥
In ∆MPQ,
∠MPQ + ∠MPR = 90°
∠MPQ = 90° − 𝑥
∠MPQ + ∠MQP + ∠PMQ = 180°
∠MQP = 180° − 90° − (90° − 𝑥)
∠MQP = 𝑥
In ∆QMP and ∆PMR,
∠MQP = ∠MPR
∠MPQ = ∠MRP
∠PMQ = ∠RMP
∴ ∆QMP ~ ∆PMR (AA similarity rule)

PM2 = QM × MR
3. In Figure, ABD is a triangle right angled at Aand AC ⊥ BD. Show that
(i) AB2 = BC . BD
In ∆ADB and ∆ACB,
∠DAB = ∠ACB = 90°

∠ABD = ∠CBA (Common angle)
∴ ∆ADB ~ ∆ACB

AB=

CB
AB2 = BD × CB
(ii) AC2 = BC . DC
Let ∠CAB = 𝑥
In ∆CBA,
∠CBA + ∠CAB + ∠ACB = 180°
∠CBA = 180° − 90° − 𝑥
∠CBA = 90° − 𝑥
In ∆CAD,
∠CAB + ∠CAD = 90°
∠CAD = 90° − 𝑥
∠CDA + ∠CAD + ∠ACD = 180°
∠CDA = 180° − 90° − (90° − 𝑥)
∠CDA = 𝑥
In ∆CBA and ∆CAD,
∠ACB = ∠DCA = 90°
∠CAB = ∠CDA
∠CBA = ∠CAD
∴ ∆𝐶𝐴𝐵 ~ ∆CAD (AA A similarity rule)

PM2 = QM × MR
(iii) AD2 = BD . CD
In ∆CDA and ∆BAD,

AD2 = BD × CD
4. ABC is an isosceles triangle right angled at C. Prove that AB2 = 2AC2.
According to question triangle ABC is right angled
isosceles triangle.
Therefore AC = BC
∠C = 90°
By using Pythagoras theorem in triangle ABC
AB2 = AC2 + BC2
AB2 = AC2 + AC2 (AC = AB)
2AC2 = AB2
5. ABC is an isosceles triangle with AC = BC. If AB2 = 2
AC2, prove that ABC is a right triangle.
According to question AB2 = 2AC2
AB2 = AC2 + AC2
www.amreshtiwari.com
AB2 = BC2 + AC2
The above case satisfied for Pythagoras theorem so this is a right angle triangle.
6. ABC is an equilateral triangle of side 2a. Find each of its altitudes.
According to question;
ABC is an equilateral whose sides are 2a and AD is the altitude.
AB = BC = AC = 2a
And BD = DC = a
By using Pythagoras theorem in ∆ABD where ∠D =
90°
AB2 = AD2 + BD2
(2a)2 = AD2 + (a)2
4a2 = AD2 + a2
AD2 = 4a2 − a2 = 3a2
AD = a√3
7. Prove that the sum of the squares of the sides of a rhombus is equal to the
sum of the squares of its diagonals.
Let PQRS are the vertices of the Rhombus.
To prove:PQ2 + QR2 + RS2 + PS2 = PR2 + QS2
In ∆POQ, ∆QOR, ∆ROS, ∆POS are the four triangles
in rhombus PQRS.
PQ2 = PO2 + OQ2 (i)
QR2 = OQ2 + OR2 (ii)
RS2 = OR2 + OS2 (iii)
www.amreshtiwari.com
PS2 = OS2 + OP2 (iv)
Adding equation (i),(ii),(iii) and (iv)
PQ2 + QR2 + RS2 + PS2 = PO2 + OQ2 + OQ2 + OR2 + OR2 + OS2+OS2 + OP2
PQ2 + QR2 + RS2 + PS2 = 2(PO2 + OQ2 + OQ2 + OR2)
PQ2 + QR2 + RS2 + PS2 = 2[(PR

PQ2 + QR2 + RS2 + PS2 = PR2 + QS2
8. In Figure, O is a point in the interior of a triangle
ABC, OD ⊥ BC, OE ⊥ AC and OF ⊥ AB. Show that
(i) OA2 + OB2 + OC2 – OD2 – OE2 – OF2 = AF2 + BD2 + CE2,
Construction: join OA, OB and OC
By using Pythagoras theorem in ∆AOF, we get
OA2 = OF2 + AF2 (i)
By using Pythagoras theorem in ∆BOD, we get
OB2 = OD2 + BD2 (ii)
By using Pythagoras theorem in ∆COE, we get
OC2 = OE2 + EC2 (iii)
Adding equation (i) , (ii) and (iii), we get
OA2 + OB2 + 0C2 = OF2 + AF2 + 0D2 + BD2 + 0E2 + EC2
(ii) AF2 + BD2 + CE2 = AE2 + CD2 + BF2.
OA2 + OB2 + OC2 − OD2 − OE2 − OF2 = AF2 + BD2 + EC2
(OA2 − OE2) + (OB2 − OF2) + (OC2 − OD2) = AF2 + BD2 + EC2
AF2 + BD2 + EC2 = AE2 + CD2 + BF2

9. A ladder 10 m long reaches a window 8 m above the ground. Find the
distance of the foot of the ladder from base of the wall.
Let PQR is the right angle triangle.
Length of ladder is PR = 10m, the height of
window PQ = 8m and the distance between foot ladder
and the base of the wall QR = .
By using Pythagoras theorem
PR2 = PQ2 + QR2
102 = 82 + 𝑥2
𝑥2 = 100 − 64
𝑥2 = 36
𝑥 = √36 = 6m
The distance of the foot of the ladder from base of the wall is 6m.
10. A guy wire attached to a vertical pole of height 18 m is 24 m long and has a
stake attached to the other end. How far from the base of the pole should the
stake be driven so that the wire will be taut?
Let PQR is the right angle triangle.
Height of Pole is PQ = 18m, the length of wire PR =
24m and the distance between Base Pole and the
stake QR = .
By using Pythagoras theorem
PR2 = PQ2 + QR2
242 = 182 + 𝑥2
𝑥2 = 576 − 324
www.amreshtiwari.com
𝑥2 = 252
𝑥 = 6√7 m
The distance of the Pole of the ladder from base of the stack is 6√7m.
11. An airplane leaves an airport and flies due north at a speed of 1000 km per
hour. At the same time, another airplane leaves the same airport and flies due
west at a speed of1200 km per hour. How far apart will be the two planes after
1𝟏
𝟐hours?
Distance travelled by the plane flying in North direction 1 and half hour = speed
×time = 1,000 × 3
2 = 1,500km
Distance travelled by the plane flying in West direction 1 and half hour = speed
×time = 1,200 × 3
2 = 1,800km
Let the distance travelled in north direction is OP = 1,500km and the distance
travelled in west direction is OQ =
1,800km
The distance between them PQ = 𝑥
By using Pythagoras theorem
PQ2 = OQ2 + OP2
PQ2 = (1,500)2 + (1,800)2
PQ = √5490000
PQ = 300√61 km
Therefore the distance between these planes after 1 and half hour will be 300√61
km.
12. Two poles of heights 6 m and 11 m stand on a plane ground. If the distance
between the feet of the poles is 12 m, find the distance between their tops.
Let the PQ= 6m and the RS= 11m are the height of the two Poles.

Therefore RA = RS – AS = 11 – 6 = 5m
PA = QS = 12m and AS = PQ = 6 m
By using Pythagoras theorem
In triangle RPA
PR2 = PA2 + RA2
PR2 = (12)2 + (5)2
PR = √144 + 25
PR = 13 m
13. D and E are points on the sides CA and CB respectively of a triangle ABC
right angled at C. Prove that AE2 + BD2 = AB2 + DE2.
In ∆BCD, C = 90°
By using Pythagorean Theorem;
BD2 = BC2 + CD2 (i)
In ∆ACE, C = 90°
By using Pythagorean Theorem;
AE2 = AC2 + CE2 (ii)
Adding equation (i) and equation (ii)
AE2 + BD2 = AC2 + CE2 + BC2 + CD2 (iii)
In ∆CDE, C = 90°
By using Pythagorean Theorem;
DE2 = CE2 + CD2 (iv)
In ∆ABC, C = 90°
By using Pythagorean Theorem;
www.amreshtiwari.com
AB2 = AC2 + CB2 (v)
Adding equation (iv) and equation (v)
AB2 + DE2 = AC2 + CE2 + CB2 + CD2 (vi)
Equation (vi) use in equation (iii)
AE2 + BD2 = AB2 + DE2
14. The perpendicular from A on side BC of a Δ ABC intersects BC at D such
that DB = 3 CD(see Figure). Prove that 2 AB2 = 2 AC2 + BC2.
In ∆ABD, D = 90°
By using Pythagorean Theorem
AB2 = AD2 + DB2
AD2 = AB2 − DB2 (i)
In ∆ACD, D = 90°
By using Pythagorean Theorem
AC2 = AD2 + DC2
AD2 = AC2 − DC2 (ii)
Equating equation (i) and equation (ii), we get
AC2 − DC2 = AB2 − DB2 (iii)
According to question 3DC = DB
Therefore DC = DB
3 and DC =
BC
4
By using above value 3BC
4 = DC
Putting the above DC value in equation (iii) and we get

16AC2 − BC2 = 16AB2 − BC2
16AB2 = 8BC2 + 16AC2

17. Tick the correct answer and justify: In Δ ABC, AB = 6√3 cm, AC = 12 cm
and BC = 6 cm.
The angle B is :
(A) 120° (B) 60° (C) 90° (D) 45°
According to question;
AB2 = 108 cm , AC2 = 144 cm and BC2 = 36 cm
AB2 + BC2 = AC2 (Satisfy Pythagoras theorem)
Therefore triangle ABC is right angle triangle and right
angle at B.
