Exercise 6.2
Question 1:-
Solution:-
In Figure (i) and (ii)
DE || BC., Find EC in (i) and AD in (iii)
(i) Let EC= x cm
Given :- DE || BC, therefore using Thales Theorem, we have
AD/DB = AC/EC
➱1.5/3=1/x
➱ x=(3*1)/1.5 =2
Hence, EC=2.
(ii) Let AD= x cm
Given :- DE || BC, therefore
using Thales Theorem, we have
AD/DB= AC/EC
➱x / 7.2=1.8 / 5.4
➱x=(1.8 * 7.2) / 5.4=2.4
Hence, AD=2.4
Question:-2
E and F are points on the sides PQ and PR respectively of a ΔPQR. For each of the following cases, state whether EF || QR.
(i) PE = 3.9 cm, EQ = 3 cm, PF = 3.6 cm and FR = 2.4 cm (ii) PE = 4 cm, QE = 4.5 cm, PF = 8 cm and RF = 9 cm (iii)PQ = 1.28 cm, PR = 2.56 cm, PE = 0.18 cm and PF = 0.36 cm
Solution:-
![]() |
(i) |
(i) PE/EQ= 3.9/3=1.3
and PF/FR= 3.6/2.4= 3/2=1.5
since, PE/EQ≠PF/FR
EF∦QR
(ii)
PE/EQ=4/4.5
=40/45=8/9
and, PF/FR= 8/9
since, PE/EQ=PF/FR
EF∥QR
(iii)
(iii) |
In△PQR, PQ=1.28 and PE=0.18
so EQ= PQ-PE=1.28-0.18=1.10
and, PR=2.56 and PF=0.36
so, FR=PR-PF=2.56-0.36=2.20
PE/EQ=0.18/1.10=9/55
and PF/FR=0.36/2.20=9/55
since, PE/EQ=PF/FR
EF∥QR
