Correct Answer: 126 SQ.CM
Correct Answer: 112.5
Correct Answer: 77
Correct Answer: 7
Correct Answer: 30
Correct Answer: Both 1 and 2
Explanation:
Let ABC be the triangle and D. E and F are midpoints of BC, CA and AB respectively.
Recall that the sum of two sides of a triangle is greater than twice the median bisecting the third side,(Theorem to be remembered)
Hence in ?ABD, AD is a median
?
AB + AC > 2(AD)
Similarly, we get
BC + AC > 2CF
BC + AB > 2BE
On adding the above inequations, we get
(AB + AC) + (BC + AC) + (BC + AB )> 2AD + 2CD + 2BE
2(AB + BC + AC) > 2(AD + BE + CF)
?
AB + BC + AC > AD + BE +CF
2.
To prove: AB + BC + CA > 2AD
Construction: AD is joined
Proof: In triangle ABD,
AB + BD > AD [because, the sum of any two sides of a triangle is always greater than the
third side]
----
1
In triangle ADC,
AC + DC > AD [because, the sum of any two
sides of a tri
angle is always greater than the
third side]
----
2
Adding 1 and 2 we get,
AB + BD + AC + DC > AD + AD
=> AB + (BD + DC) + AC > 2AD
=> AB + BC + AC > 2AD
Hence proved
Correct Answer: 75%
Explanation:
Area of triangle of = ½*a*b* sin? = A
Where a and b are sides of the triangle and ? be the angle between them
After decreasing each side
New area = ½*(a/2)*(b/2)*sin? = ¼ A
%decrease = [(A?¼ A)/A ]*100 = 75%
Correct Answer: 2 cm or 14 cm
Correct Answer: (-3 , 8)
Correct Answer: (0 , 3)
