Tamilnadu Samacheer Kalvi 8th Maths Solutions Term 2 Chapter 3 Geometry Additional Questions

Question 1.
State Pythagoras theorem.
Solution:
In a right angled triangle, the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides.

Question 2.
Write two uses of Pythagoras theorem in our daily life.
Solution:
The Pythagoras theorem is useful in finding the distance and the heights of objects.

Question 3.
Prove Pythagoras theorem.
Solution:
Proof of the Pythagoras theorem using similarity of triangles.

Given: ∠BAC = 90°
To Prove BC² = AB² + AC²
Construction: Draw AD ⊥ BC
Proof:

In ∆ ABC and ∆ DBA
∠B is common and ∠BAC = ∠ADB = 90°
Therefore, ∆ ABC ~ ∆ DBA, (AA similarity)
Hence, the ratio of corresponding sides are equal.
⇒ \(\frac{AB}{DB}\) = \(\frac{BC}{BA}\)
⇒ AB² = BC x DB
Similarity, ∆ ABC ~ ∆ DAC,
⇒ \(\frac{AC}{DC}\) = \(\frac{BC}{AC}\)
⇒ AC² = BC x DB
Adding (1) and (2), we get
AB² + AC² = BC x DB + BC x DC
= BC x (DB + DC) = BC x BC
⇒ AB² + AC² = BC² and hence the proof of the theorem

Question 4.
State the converse of Pythagoras theorem.
Solution:
If in a triangle, the square on the greatest side is equal to the sum of squares on the other two sides, then the triangle is right angled triangle.

Question 5.
Give 2 examples for Pythagorean triplet.
Solution:
(21, 28, 35), (24, 32, 40)

Question 6.
Check whether (2, 3, 5) is Pythagorean triplet.
Solution:

2² + 3² = 4 + 9 = 13
5² = 25
13 ≠ 25
∴ It is not a Pythagorean triplet.

Question 7.
Can the sides that measure 15 cm, 20 cm and 25 cm make a right triangle?
Solution:

20² + 15² = 400 + 225 = 625
25² = 625
20² + 15² = 25²
∴ It is Pythagorean triplet.
∴ The given sides make a right angled triangle.

Question 8.
In the figure, find the value of x.

Solution:
In ABC
12² + 9² = 144 + 81 =225 = 15²
∴ x = 15

Question 9.
In the figure find the value of a and b and verify ∆ ABD is a right angled triangle.
Solution:
Now by altitude – on – hypotenuse theorem,
AB² = BC x BD gives
10² = a x 26
a = \(\frac{100}{26}\) = \(\frac{50}{13}\)

and AD² = CD x BD
24² = b x 26
b = \(\frac{576}{26}\) = \(\frac{288}{13}\)
and in ∆ ABD;
AB² + AD² = BD²
10² + 24² = 576 = 26²
BD = 26
Therefore ∆ ABD is a right angled triangle.

Question 9.
State the altitude-on-Hypotenuse theorem.
Solution:
If an altitude is drawn to the hypotenuse of an right angled triangle then (i) the two triangles are similar to the given triangle and also to each other.

That is ∆ PRQ ~ ∆ PSR ~ ∆ RSQ

1. h² = xy
2. p² = yr and
3. q² = xr, where r = x + y

Tamilnadu Samacheer Kalvi 9th English Grammar Active Voice, Passive Voice

Read the following sentences and analyze the difference.
The team leader presented the report.
The report was presented by the team leader.

1. In the first sentence, the verb shows that the subject is the doer of the action. Therefore, the sentence is in active voice.
2. In the second sentence, the verb shows that the subject is not the doer of the action. Therefore, the sentence is in passive voice.

We use the Passive voice when –

• the focus is on the action rather than the doer of the action.
  (e.g.), About 50 percent of the graduates are employed in IT-related sectors.
• we do not know who the doer is.
  (e.g.) My bike was stolen yesterday.
• we talk of a system or a process.
  (e.g.) The vegetables are washed well. Then, they are cut into cubes.
• we write newspaper headlines and notices at public places, (‘be’ verb is omitted as the language has to be concise)
  (e.g.) 20 sportsmen felicitated by PM.
• we describe changes that have taken place.
  (e.g.) Our school looks completely different. The whole place has been painted.

Look at the table below. It shows the changes in tense while changing sentences from active voice in to passive voice.

When using the active voice, the subjects are the ones performing the action.
God loves all men.
Birds build nests.
Dogs eats bones.

In these three sentences the subject does the action. Hence they are in the active voice. In the active voice, the verb takes an object.
All men are loved by God.
Nests are built by birds.
Bones are eaten by dogs.

Rules for changing Active Voice into Passive Voice:

• Identify the subject, the verb and the object: SVO.
• Change the object into subject.
• Put the suitable helping verb or auxiliary verb according to the tense given.
• Change the verb into past participle of the verb.
• Add the preposition “by”
• Change the subject into object.

How to form passive forms of verbs?

Changes of Pronouns:

Type 1: Statements:

Type 2: Imperative Sentence :
If the given sentence in the active voice is in the imperative, to get the passive voice use ‘Let’.
Passive Voice = Let + Object + be + Past Participle

• We can begin the passive sentence with ‘you’ if we want to put emphasis on the person addressed to.

Type 3 : Interrogative Questions in the Passive :
If the question in the Active Voice begins with a Helping verb, the Passive voice must also begin with a suitable helping verb. Supposing the question begins with ‘Wh or How’ form (what, when, how …) the Passive Voice must begin with the same.

If a sentence contains two objects namely Indirect Object and Direct Object in the Active Voice, two forms of Passive Voice can be formed.

• She brought me a cup of coffee. (AV)
  I was brought a cup of coffee by her. (PV) (or)
  A cup of coffee was brought to me by her. (PV)
• The teacher teaches us grammar. (AV)
  We are taught grammar by the teacher. (PV) (or)
  Grammar is taught [to] us by the teacher. (PV)

Infinitive and Gerund :

• I want to shoot the tiger. (AV)
  I want the tiger to be shot. (PV)
• I remember my father taking me to the theatre. (AV)
  I remember being taken to the theatre by my father. (PV)

Passive to Active form:
While changing Passive Voice into Active Voice, we must keep in mind all the rules of the Active Voice in the reverse order. We come across sentences in the Passive Voice without subject or agent. In this case, supply the appropriate subject.

Changing Passive Voice to Active Voice.

• Last year, the Swach Bharat scheme was announced by the Government.
• Rare plants are found in Silent Valley.

In the first sentence, the doer/agent is explicitly mentioned because the doer is important in that sentence. But in the second sentence, it is not so, because either the agent or doer of the action is too obvious or unknown.

The passive construction is quite common in scientific/technical/ business writing. In these types of objective writing, the emphasis is usually on the action or process or thing that is described. So the ‘by’ phrase is generally omitted in these writings. It is called Impersonal Passive.

• They say that might is right.
  It is said that might is right.
• One finds mosquitoes everywhere.
  Mosquitoes are found everywhere.
• He gave us a cheque.
  A cheque was given to us.

Tamilnadu Samacheer Kalvi 8th Maths Solutions Term 2 Chapter 3 Geometry Ex 3.2

Miscellaneous Practice Problems

Question 1.
The sides of a triangle are 1.2 cm, 3.5 cm and 3.7cm. Is this triangle a right triangle? If so, which side is the hypotenuse?
Solution:
The sides of a triangle are a = 1.2 cm; b = 3.5 cm; c = 3.7 cm
By Pythagoras theorem,
c² = a² + b²
a² + b² = 1.2² + 3
5² – 1.44 +12.25 = 13.69
c² = 3.7² = 13.69
(1) = (2)
Yes, it is a right angled triangle. The hypotenuse c = 3.7 cm.

Question 2.
Rithika buys an LED TV which has a 25 inches screen. If its height is 7 inches, how wide is the screen? Her TV cabinet is 20 inches wide. Will the TV fit into the cabinet? Why?
Solution:

Take the sides of a right angled triangle ∆ ABC as
a = 7 inches
b = 25 inches
c = ?
By Pythagoras theorem,
b² = a² + c²
25 = 7² + c²
c² = 25² – 7² = 625 – 49 = 576
∴ c² = 24²
⇒ c = 24 inches
∴ Width of TV cabinet is 20 inches which is lesser than the width of the screen ie.24 inches. The TV will not fit into the cabinet.

Question 3.
Find the length of the support cable required to support the tower with the floor.

Solution:
From the figure, by Pythagoras theorem,
x² = 20² + 15² = 400 + 225 = 625
x² = 25² ⇒ x = 25ft.
∴ The length of the support cable required to support the tower with the floor is 25 ft.

Question 4.
A ramp is constructed in a hospital as shown. Find the length of the ramp.

Solution:
Take a = 7 ft ; b = 24 ft.
By Pythagoras theorem,
l² = c² + b²
= 7² + 24² = 49 + 576
l = 25ft

Question 5.
In the figure, find MT and AH

Solution:
By Pythagoras theorem,
MT² = MH² + HT²
= 60² + 80² = 3600 + 6400
= 10000 = 100²
∴ MT = 100
By the altitude – on – hypotenuse theorem,
MH² = MA x MT
60² = MA x 100
MA = \(\frac{3600}{100}\) = 36
∴ In ∆ MAH, by Pythagoras theorem,
AH² = MH² – MA²
= 60² – 36² = 3600 – 1296 = 2304 = 48²
∴ AH = 48
∴ Ans MT = 100
AH = 48

Challenging Problems

Question 6.
Mayan travelled 28 km due north and then 21 km due east. What is the least distance that he could have travelled from his starting point?
Solution:
From the figure AC is to be found.

By using Pythagoras theorem,
AC² = AB² + BC²
= 28² + 21² = 784 + 441 = 1225 = 352
∴ AC = 35 km
This is the least distance that he could have travelled from his starting point.

Question 7.
If ∆ APK is an isosceles right angled triangle, right angled at K. Prove that AP² = 2AK².
Solution:
From the figure, ∆ APK is a right triangle.

By using Pythagoras theorem,
AP² = AK² + PK²
= AK² + AK² (since it is an isosceles A)
= 2AK²
Hence it is proved.

Question 8.
The diagonals of the rhombus is 12 cm and 16 cm. Find its perimeter. (Hint: the diagonals of rhombus bisect each other at right angles).
Solution:

Here AO = CO = 8 cm
BO = DO = 6 cm
(∴ the diagonals of rhombus bisect each other at right angles)
∴ In ∆ AOB,
AB² = AO² + OB² = 8² + 6² = 64 + 36
= 100 = 10²
∴ AB = 10
Since it is a rhombus, all the four sides are equal.
AB = BC = CD = DA
∴ Its Perimeter = 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 = 40 cm

Question 9.
In the figure, find AR.

Solution:
∆ AFI, ∆ FRI are right triangles.
By Pythagoras theorem,
AF² = AT² – FT² = 25² – 15²
= 625 – 225 = 400 = 20²
∴ AF = 20 ft ….(1)
FR² = RI² – FI² = 17² – 15² = 289 – 225 = 64 = 8²
FR = 8 ft.
∴ AR = AF + FR = 20 + 8 = 28 ft.

Question 10.
∆ ABC is a right angled triangle in which ∠A = 90° and AM ⊥ BC. Prove that AM = \(\frac{ABxAC}{BC}\). Also if AB = 30 cm and AC = 40 cm, find AM.

Solution:
Given: ∆ ABC is a right angled triangle.
∠A = 90, AM ⊥ BC
To Prove: AM = \(\frac{ABxAC}{BC}\)
Proof:
In the given figure, Area of the triangle A ABC [taking AB as base and AC as height]
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) x AB x AC ….(1)
And also, Area of the triangle ∆ ABC [taking BC as base and AM as height]
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) x BC x AM ……(2)
Since (1) & (2) are the same, we can equate (2) and (1)
i.e. \(\frac{1}{2}\) x BC x AM = \(\frac{1}{2}\) x AB x AC
AM = \(\frac{ABxAC}{BC}\)
Hence proved. If AB = 30 cm, AC = 40 cm
By Pythagoras theorem, BC² = AB² + AC² = 30² + 40² = 900 + 1600 = 2500 = 50²
∴ BC = 50
Using the altitude – on – hypotenuse theorem

Here AC² = MC x BC
40² = MC x 50
∴ BM = BC – MC = 50 – 32 = 18 cm
AM² = BM x MC = 18 x 32 = 576 = 24²
∴ AM = 24 cm

Tamilnadu Samacheer Kalvi 9th English Grammar Determiners

Observe the nouns in the following sentences and words before them.

• An apple is a healthy fruit.
• Two cats have drunk a bowl of milk,
• My father has many cars.

Determiners are the words that introduce a noun and provide some information about it (but do not describe it). .
Determiners are followed by a noun.

• The ball
• Five cats
• His son
• Some students

Types of Determiners

• The quantifiers all, any, enough, less, a lot of, more, most, no, none of, some etc., are used with both countable and uncountable nouns.
• The quantifiers both, each, either, fewer, neither etc., are used only with countable nouns.

ARTICLES

Articles are bifurcated into
(i) Definite Article (the) and
(ii) indefinite articles (a, an).

(i) DEFINITE ARTICLE : When to use “THE”

❖ General Rules
Use the to refer to something which has already been mentioned.

Examples :
On Monday, an unarmed man stole 10,000 from the bank. The thief hasn’t been caught yet.
I was walking past Benny’s Bakery when I decided to go into the bakery to get some bread.

Use the when you assume there is just one of something in that place, even if it has not been mentioned before.

Examples :
We went on a walk in the forest yesterday.
Where is the bathroom?
Turn left and go to number 45. Our house is near the restaurant.
My father enjoyed the book you gave him.

(ii) INDEFINITE ARTICLES : When to use “a” and “an”.

In English, the two indefinite articles are a and an.
Like other articles, indefinite articles are invariable.

You use one or the other, depending on the first letter of the word following the article, for pronunciation reasons. Use a when the next word starts with a consonant, or before words starting in u and eu when they sound like you. Use an when the next word starts with a vowel (a, e, i, o, u) or with a mute h.

Examples :
a boy, an apple, a car, a helicopter, an elephant, a big elephant, an itchy sweater, an ugly duck, a European, a university, a unit, an hour, an honour.

The indefinite article is used to refer to something for the first time or to refer to a particular member of a group or class. Some use cases and examples are given below.

1. Would you like a drink?
2. I’ve finally got a good job.
3. An elephant and a mouse fell into the well.

Example :

1. Mary is training to be an engineer.
2. John is an Englishman
3. I’d like an orange and two lemons please.

Demonstratives
Demonstratives show where an object, event, or person is in relation to the speaker. They can refer to a physical or a psychological closeness or distance. When talking about events, the near demonstratives are often used to refer to the present while the far demonstratives often refer to the past.

Examples:

Possessive Adjectives (Determiners)

Possessive adjectives are not pronouns, but rather determiners. It is useful to learn them at the same time as pronouns, however, because they are similar in form to the possessive pronouns. Possessive adjectives function as adjectives, so they appear before the noun they modify. They do not replace a noun as pronouns do.

Examples :
Did mother find my shoes?
The teacher wants to see your homework.
Samantha will fix her bike tomorrow.
The cat broke its leg.
This is our house.
Where is their school?

Possessive Pronouns

Possessive pronouns replace possessive nouns as either the subject or the object of a clause. Because the noun being replaced doesn’t appear in the sentence, it must be clear from the context.

Examples :
This bag is mine.
Yours is not blue.
That bag looks like his.
These shoes are not hers.
That car is ours.
Theirs is parked in the garage.

Reflexive & Intensive Pronouns

Reflexive and intensive pronouns are the same set of words but they have different functions in a sentence.

Reflexive pronouns refer back to the subject of the clause because the subject of the action is also the direct or indirect object. Only certain types of verbs can be reflexive. You cannot remove a reflexive pronoun from a sentence because the remaining sentence would be grammatically incorrect.

Examples :
I told myself to calm down.
You cut yourself on this nail?
He hurt himself on the stairs.
She found herself in a dangerous part of town.
The cat threw itself under my car!
We blame ourselves for the fire.
The children can take care of themselves.

Quantifiers
Quantifiers are adjectives and adjectival phrases that give approximate or specific answers to the questions “How much?” and “How many?” The pages in this section will teach you more about the different quantifiers in English and how they are used.

• Numbers in English: ordinal, cardinal, and percentages
• To answer the questions How much? and How many? certain quantifiers can be used with countable nouns (friends, cups, people), others with uncountable nouns (sugar, tea, money) and still others with all types of nouns.

Examples :
Would you like some tea and a few cookies?
I always put a little milk and some carrots in my soup.
He has several apples. I don’t have any fruit at all.
She has plenty of clothes for the winter.
I received a large amount of feedback from my survey.

Cardinal Numbers
A Cardinal Number says how many of something there are, such as one, two, three, four, five, etc.
A Cardinal Number answers the question “How Many?”

Examples :
There are twenty children in the class.
He purchased two books.
There are five plates on the table.
Sumitha is fourteen years old.

Ordinal Numbers

An Ordinal Number tells us the position of something in a list, such as first, second, third, fourth, fifth and so on.
Examples :
Let us begin with the first chapter.
We live in the fourth house on the right.
I was bom on the fifteenth of January.
He got the second prize.

Tamilnadu Samacheer Kalvi 9th English Grammar Reported Speech (Direct to Indirect Speech)

Quoting the exact words of the speaker is called “The Direct Speech”.

David said, “I am writing a letter now”.

Reporting of what a speaker said without quoting his exact words is called ‘Indirect Speech’, (also called Reported Speech).

David said that he was writing a letter then.

The following table suggests the words that change during a transformation.

If the reporting verb is in the Present or Future tense (e.g., say, will say) there is no change in the tense of the verb in the Indirect speech.

Anto says, “I eat a mango”. (Direct Speech)
Anto says that he eats a mango”. (Indirect Speech)

If Reporting Verb is in the Past Tense, the tense of the verbs in the reported speech or Indirect Speech must be generally changed.
1. Present Tense in the Direct becomes past tense.
Janis said, “I write a letter”. (D.S)
Janis said that she wrote a letter. (I.S)

2. Past Tense in the Direct becomes past perfect or remains unchanged.
Arun said, “I bought a pen yesterday”. (D.S)
Arun said that he had bought a pen the previous day. (I.S)

3. Present Continuous in the Direct becomes past continuous.
Juber said, “I am going to mosque”. (D.S)
Juber said that he was going to mosque. (I.S)

4. Past Continuous in the Direct becomes past perfect continuous. *
Nelson said, “I was playing cricket”. (D.S) > M
Nelson said that he had been playing cricket. (I.S)

5. Present Perfect in the Direct becomes past perfect.
Kamal said, “I have done my home work”. (D.S)
Kamal said that he had done his home work. (I.S)

6. Present Perfect Continuous in the Direct becomes past perfect continuous.
He said, “I have been reading a novel”. (D.S)
He said that he had been reading a novel. (I.S)

7. ‘Will’ and ‘Shall’ are changed to ‘would’.
He said, “I will go to Trichy tomorrow”. (D.S)
He said that he would go to Trichy the next day. (I.S)

8. may – might
can – could
must – had to (or) must
Nisha said, “I must go now”. (D.S)

Nisha said that she must go then, (or) Nisha said that she had to go then. (I.S)

Hint: Past Perfect and Past Perfect Continuous in the Direct Speech do not take any change *, in their tenses.

Exception to the above rule:
If the direct speech contains the Universal Truth, the tense of the direct speech remains unchanged even if the reporting verb is in the past.

The teacher said, “The sun rises in the East”. (D.S)
The teacher said that the sun rises in the East. (I.S)

Reported Speech–Statement–Rules

Whatever may be the tense of the Reporting Sentence, if the Reported Sentence tells a universal fact, no change is made in the tense of the Reported Sentence.

Example No. 1:
The mother is saying to the child, “The third day of the week is Tuesday. ”.
Step 1 : The Reported Sentence is: The third day of the week is Tuesday.
Step 2 : It is a Statement and a universal fact.
Step 3 : So, the conjunction word is — “that”.
Step 4 : ‘is saying to’ changes into ‘is telling’.
Step 5 : No change of pronoun.
Step 6 : It is a universal fact. So, no change of tense is necessary.
Step 7 : No change of extension.
‘Now, the Indirect Speech is:
The mother is telling the child that the third day of the week is Tuesday.

Example No. 2:
The History teacher says, “Megellan was the first navigator to come around the world. ”.

Step 1 : The Reported Sentence is: “Megellan was the first navigator to come around the world.”
Step 2 : It is a statement.
Step 3 : The conjunction word is — “that”.
Step 4 : ‘Says’ does not change. Use it as it is.
Step 5 : There are no pronouns to get changed.
Step 6 : No change of tense is made.
Step 7 : No extensive word to get changed.

Now, the Indirect Speech is:
The History teacher says that Megellan was the first navigator to come around the world.

Example No. 3:
You know the two types of Interrogative Sentences:
Inverted questions requiring ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ answers — 1st type.
Questions that begin with interrogative words — 2nd type
At first we shall deal with the First type:

Direct Speech: The boy said to the fruit–seller, “Are all these mangoes sweet?”
Step 1 : Identify the Reported Sentence.
Step 2 Know what kind of sentence the Reported Sentence is.
Step 3 Look for the correct Conjunction, (The Conjunction of the First type is “If or Whether”)
Step 4 Change of ‘said to’ — Since it is an interrogative sentence ‘said to ’ changes into ‘asked’.
Step 5 Step Look for the change of pronouns.
Step 6 Look for the change of tenses.

The Reporting Sentence is in past tense. The Reported Sentences is in present tense. So, the Reported Sentence should be changed into past tense, corresponding to the tense, of the Reporting Sentence.

The verb is ‘are’ — Its past tense is ‘were’.

Step 7 : Look for the change of extension words.
‘These’ changes into ‘those’.

The Indirect Speech is : The boy asked the fruit–seller if all those mangoes were sweet.

Example No 4:
Direct Speech: The grandfather said fo his grandsons, “Did you not like my story yesterday?”
SIeR 1 : The Reported Sentence is: “Did you not like my story yesterday?”
Step 2 : ‘It is an interrogative sentence. It is of the First type.
Step 3 : So its conjunction word is: ¡for Whether.
Step 4 : So ‘said to’ changes into ‘asked’.
Step 5 : Look for the pronouns.

(i) The first one is: ‘You’ (subject)
‘You’ — refers to grandsons. They are in the third person plural number.
So the third person of ‘You’ (subject, plural)
It is — ‘they’. ‘You’ changes into ‘they’.
‘You’ — grandsons — ‘They’
‘You’–they.

(ii) The next one is ‘My’.
‘My’ — refers to ‘the grandfather’ — in the third person.
So, take the third person of ‘My’
‘My’ changes into ‘His’.

Step 6 : Look for the change of tenses.
Step 7 : Extensive word ‘Yesterday’ changes into ‘the day before’. Now, the Indirect Speech is-

The grandfather asked his grandsons if they had not liked his story the day before.

2. 12, 13, 15
3. 30, 40, 50
4. 9, 40, 41
5. 24, 45, 51

Solution:
1. 8, 15, 17
Take a = 8,
b = 15 and
c = 17
Now a² + b² = 8² + 15² = 64 + 225 = 289
17² = 289 = c²
∴ a² + b² = c²
By the converse of Pythagoras theorem, the triangle with given measures is a right angled triangle.
Answer:
yes.

2. 12, 13, 15
Take a = 12
b = 13 and
c = 15
Now a² + b² = 12² + 13² = 144 + 169 = 313
15² = 225 ≠ 313
By the converse of Pythagoras theorem, the triangle with given measures is not a right angled triangle.
Answer:
No.

3. 30, 40, 50
Take a = 30
b = 40 and
c = 50
Now a² + b² = 30² + 40² = 900 + 1600 = 2500
c² = 50² = 2500
∴ a² + b² = c²
By the converse of Pythagoras theorem, the triangle with given measures is a right angled triangle.
Answer:
yes.

4. 9, 40, 41
Take a = 9
b = 40 and
c = 41
Now a² + b² = 9² + 40² = 81 + 1600= 1681
c² = 41² = 1681
∴ a² + b² = c²
By the converse of Pythagoras theorem, the triangle with given measures is a right angled triangle.
Answer:
Yes.

5. 24, 45, 51
Take a = 24
b = 45 and
c = 51 Now

c² = 51² = 2601
a² + b² = c²
By the converse of Pyhtagoreas theorem, the triangle with given measure is a right angled triangle.
Answer:
Yes.

Question 4.
Find the unknown side in the following triangles.

Solution:
(i) From ∆ ABC, by Pythagoras theorem

BC² = AB² + AC²
Take AB² + AC² = 9² + 40² = 81 + 1600 = 1681
BC² = AB² + AC² = 1681 = 41²
BC² = 41² ⇒ BC = 41
∴ x = 41

(ii) From ∆ PQR, by Pythagoras theorem,

PR² = PQ² + QR²
34² = y² + 30²
⇒ y² = 34² – 30²
= 1156 – 900
= 256 = 16²
y² = 16² ⇒ y = 16

(iii) From ∆ XYZ, by Pythagoras theorem,

YZ² = XY² + XZ²
⇒ XY² = YZ² – XZ²
Z² = 39² – 36²
= 1521 – 1296 = 225 = 15²
Z² = 15²
⇒ Z = 15

Question 5.
An isosceles triangle has equal sides each 13 cm and a base 24 cm in length. Find its height.
Solution:
In an isosceles triangle the altitude dives its base into two equal parts. Now in the figure, ∆ ABC is an isosceles triangle with AD as its height.

In the figure, AD is the altitude and Δ ABD is a right triangle.
By Pythagoras theorem,
AB² = AD² + BD²
⇒ AD² = AB² – BD²
= 13² – 12² = 169 – 144 = 25
AD² = 25 = ²
Height: AD = 5 cm

Question 6.
In the figure, find PR and QR.

Solution:
In the figure ∆ PQR is a right triangle.
By Pythagoras theorem,
PR² = PQ² + QR²
(x + 1)² = 7² + x²
x² +2 × x × 1 + 1² = 49+ x²
2x + 1 = 49
2x = 49 – 1 = 48
x = \(\frac{48}{2}\) = 24
∴ PR = x + 1 = 24 + 1 = 25
QR = x = 24

Question 7.
The length and breadth of the screen of an LED – TV are 24 inches and 18 inches. Find the length of its diagonal.

Solution:
The length and breadth of a LED TV form a right angled triangle with its diagonal.
Therefore by Pythagoras theorem,
AC² = AB² + BC²
= 24² + 18² = 576 + 324 = 900 = 30²
∴ AC = 30 ⇒ The length of the diagonal is 30 inches.

Question 8.
Find the distance between the helicopter and the ship.

Solution:
From the figure AS is the distance between the helicopter and the ship.
∆ APS is a right angled triangle, by Pythagoras theorem,
AS² = AP² + PS²
= 80² + 150²
= 6400 + 22500 = 28900 = 170²
∴ The distance between the helicopter and the ship is 170 m

Question 9.
From the figure, 1. If TA = 3 cm and OT = 6 cm, find TG.

Solution:
1. From the figure, if, TA = 3 cm, OT = 6 cm

By Pythagoras theorem,
OA² = OT² – TA² = 6² – 3²
i.e. h² = 36 – 9 = 27 cm.
Now, by altitude – on – hypotenuse theorem
h² = xy
27 = x × 3
x = \(\frac{27}{3}\) = 9 cm
TG = x + 3 = 9 + 3 = 12 cm

Question 10.
If RQ = 15 cm and RP = 20 cm, find PQ, PS and SQ.

Solution:

RQ = 15cm
RP = 20 cm and ∆ PQR is a right angled triangle
By Pythagoras theorem, p 20 cm
PQ² = PR² + RQ² = 20² + 15²
= 400 + 225 = 625 = 25²
∴ PQ = 25 cm
Now by altitude – on – hypotenuse theorem,
RQ² = q x r
15² = q x 25
q = \(\frac{225}{25}\) = 9 cm ⇒ SQ = 9 cm
PR² = P x r
20² = P x 25
P = \(\frac{400}{25}\) = 16 cm ⇒ PS = 16 cm
Answer:

1. PQ = 25 cm
2. PS = 16 cm
3. SQ = 9 cm

Objective Type Questions

Question 11.
If ∆ GUT is isosceles and right angled, then ∠TUG is …………

(a) 30°
(b) 40°
(c) 45°
(d) 55°
Answer:
(c) 45°
Hint:
∠U ∠T = 45° (∆ GUT is an isosceles given)
∴ ∠TUG = 45°

Question 12.
The hypotenuse of a right angled triangle of sides 12 cm and 16 cm is ……….
(a) 28 cm
(b)20cm
(c) 24 cm
(d)21cm
Answer:
(b) 20 cm
Hint:
Side take a = 12 cm
b = 16 cm
The hypotenuse c² = a² + b² = 12² + 16^2
2 = 400 ⇒ c = 20 cm

Question 13.
The area of a rectangle of length 21 cm and diagonal 29 cm is ………. cm²
(a) 609
(b) 580
(c) 420
(d) 210
Answer:
(c) 420
Hint:

Length = 21 cm
Diagonal = 29 cm
By the converse of Pythagoras theorem,
AB² + BC² = AC²
21² + x² = 29²
x² = 841 – 441 = 400 = 20²
x = 20 cm
Now area of the rectangle = length x breadth.
i.e. AB x BC = 21 cm x 20 cm = 420 cm²

By Pythagoras theorem
c² = a² + b²
In an isosceles triangle, a = b
c² = a² + a² = 2a²
⇒ 2a² = 50
a² = 25 ⇒ a = 5cm
∴ The length of each sides a = 5cm, b = 5 cm.

Question 15.
The sides of a right angled triangle are in the ratio 5 : 12 : 13 and its perimeter is 120 units then, the sides are .
(a) 25, 36, 59
(b) 10, 24, 26
(c) 36, 39, 45
(d) 20, 48, 52
Answer:
(d) 20, 48, 52
Hint:
The sides of a right angled triangle are in the ratio 5 : 12 : 13
Take the three sides as 5a, 12a, 13a
Its perimeter is 5a + 12a + 13a = 30a
It is given that 30a = 120 units
a = 4 units
∴ The sides 5a = 5 x 4 = 20 units
12a = 12 x 4 = 48 units
13a = 13 x 4 = 52 units

Tamilnadu Samacheer Kalvi 9th English Grammar Punctuation

Punctuation refers to the specific markings, signs and symbols that are used in and around sentences to give them structure and to allow for correct understanding and comprehension.

• While writing prose or poetry, we use certain signs to mark the stages of reading. They are called punctuation marks.
• The main purpose of the Punctuation mark is to make the meaning of a sentence clear to the reader.
• Punctuation means the right use of different marks like Full–stop, Comma, Semicolon, Colon, Question Mark…in a written sentence.

Punctuation Marks

1. Full Stop

• Full stop is used to mark the end of a Statement or an Imperative sentence.
  Ex:
  Time is Gold. (Statement)
  Get me a glass of water. (Imperative)
• After an initial (first Letter of a person ‘s name)
  Ex:
  S. Raman
  M. Renu

2. COMMA

• To indicate a pause while reading.
  Ex:
  God willing, we will meet again.
• To separate words in a list. (The last two items are separated by and)
  Ex:
  Health, wealth and peace to together.
  He visited Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat and Kashmir.
• To separate the actual words spoken, from the rest of the sentences.
  Ex:
  Mala said, “I am writing a letter.”
• To mark off certain words like No, Yes prefixed to a sentence.
  Ex:
  Yes, I come. No, I don’t come.
• To break up group of numbers into tens, hundreds, thousands and lakhs.
  Ex:
  1,25,500
• After salutation in letters.
  Ex:
  Dear Sir, Dear Kannan,
• To separate the date and month from the year.
  Ex:
  1st January, 2005 22nd June, 1969

3. SEMICOLON

• The semicolon represents a pause greater than that indicated by the comma.
  Ex:
  Uma came quickly; she ate in a hurry she went out.
• The comma separates individual items. A semicolon separates groups of items.
  Ex:
  In the children’s room were toys, books, balls and colour pencils; in the kitchen were pots, pans, vegetables, and fruits; and the library had books, charts and maps.

4. COLON

• The colon shows a shorter pause than a full stop, but a longer pause than a semicolon.
  Ex:
  The three great books are: the Ramayana, the Mahabharata and the Gita.
  The days of the week are: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

5. APOSTROPHE

• To indicate the omission of a letter or letters when two words are joined.
  Ex:
  I’ve → I have I’m → I am Don’t → Do not won’t → will not
• Apostrophe is used with s– to give the meaning belongs to. (Possessiveness)
  Ex:
  Ramu’s book → The book belongs to Ramu.
• To indicate the plural of figures and letters.
  Ex:
  5’s Your 3’s and 8’s look alike.

6. QUESTION MARK

• To end the interrogative sentence.
  Ex:
  What is your name?
  How old are you?
  Are you interested in Maths?
• To mark off question tag.
  Ex:
  Pass the salt, will you?
  I am not angry, am I?

7. EXCLAMATION MARK

• After interjections.
  Ex:
  Ah! Hurrah! Alas! Oh! Hush!
• After exclamatory phrases.
  Ex:
  Well done! Miserable man!
• After exclamatory sentences.
  Ex:
  What a useful tree the coconut is!
  How cunning the fox is!

8. QUOTATION MARKS

• Single quotation marks or inverted commas are generally used in British English.
  Ex:
  ‘Help! I’m drowning!’
• In American English, double quotation marks are used.
  Ex:
  “Help! I’m drowning!”
• To mark the exact words of a speaker without any change.
  Ex:
  Rama said to Rahim, “Where are you going?”

9. CAPITAL LETTER

• To begin a sentence.
  Ex:
  They are playing cricket.
• To begin each line of poetry.
  Ex:
  If you can dream and not make dreams your master.

Tamilnadu Samacheer Kalvi 7th Maths Solutions Term 2 Chapter 4 Geometry Ex 4.1

Question 1.
Can 30°, 60° and 90° be the angles of a triangle?
Solution:
Given angles 30°, 60° and 90°
Sum of the angles = 30° + 60° + 90° = 180°
∴ The given angles form a triangle.

Question 2.
Can you draw a triangle with 25°, 65° and 80° as angles?
Solution:
Given angle 25°, 65° and 80°.
Sum of the angles = 25° + 65° + 80° = 170° ≠ 180
∴ We cannot draw a triangle with these measures.

Question 3.
In each of the following triangles, find the value of x.

Solution:
(i) Let ∠G = x
By angle sum property we know that,
∠E + ∠F + ∠G = 180°
80° + 55° + x = 180°
135° + x = 180°
x = 45°

(ii) Let ∠M = x
By angle sum property of triangles we have
∠M + ∠M + ∠O = 180°
x + 96° + 22° = 180°
x + 118° = 180°
X = 180° – 118° = 620

(iii) Let ∠Z = (2x + 1)° and ∠Y = 90°
By the sum property of triangles we have
∠x + ∠y + ∠z = 180°
29° + 90° + (2x + 1)° = 180°
119° + (2x + 1)° = 180°
(2x + 1)° = 180° – 119°
2x + 1° = 61°
2x = 61° – 1°
2x = 60°
x = \(\frac{60^{\circ}}{2}\)
x = 30°

(iv) Let ∠J = x and ∠L – 3x.
By angle sum property of triangles we have
∠J + ∠K + ∠L = 180°
x + 112° + 3x = 180°
4x = 180° – 112°
x = 68°
x = \(\frac{68^{\circ}}{4}\)
x = 17°

(v) Let ∠S = 3x°
Given \(\overline{\mathrm{RS}}\) = Given \(\overline{\mathrm{RT}}\) = 4.5 cm
Given ∠S = ∠T = 3x° [∵ Angles opposite to equal sides are equal]
By angle sum property of a triangle we have,
∠R + ∠S + ∠T = 180°
72° + 3x + 3x = 180°
72° + 6x = 180°
x = \(\frac{108^{\circ}}{6}\)
x = 18°

(vi) Given ∠X = 3x; ∠Y = 2x; ∠Z = ∠4x
By angle sum property of a triangle we have
∠X + ∠Y + ∠Z = 180°
3x + 2x + 4x = 180°
∴ 9x = 180°
x = \(\frac{180^{\circ}}{9}\) = 20°

(vii) Given ∠T = (x – 4)°
∠U = 90°
∠V = (3x – 2)°
By angle sum property of a triang we have
∠T + ∠U + ∠V = 180°
(x – 4)° + 90° + (3x – 2)° = 180°
x – 4° + 90° + 3x – 2° = 180°
x + 3x + 90° – 4° – 2° = 180°
4x + 84° = 180°
4x = 180° – 84°
4x = 96°
x = \(\frac{96^{\circ}}{4}\) = 24°
x = 24°

(viii) Given ∠N = (x + 31)°
∠O = (3x – 10)°
∠P = (2x – 3)°
By angle sum property of a triangle we have
∠N + ∠O + ∠P = O
(x + 31)° + (3x – 10)° + (2x – 3)° = 180°
x + 31°+ 3x – 10° + 2x – 3° = 180°
x + 3x + 2x + 31° – 10° – 3° = 180°
6x + 18° = 180°
6x = 180° + 18°
6x = 162°
x = \(\frac{162^{\circ}}{6}\) = 27°
x = 27°

Question 4.
Two line segments \(\overline{A D}\) and \(\overline{B C}\) intersect at O. Joining \(\overline{A B}\) and \(\overline{D C}\) we get two triangles, ∆AOB and ∆DOC as shown in the figure. Find the ∠A and ∠B.

Solution:
In ∆AOB and ∆DOC,
∠AOB = ∠DOC [∵ Vertically opposite angles are equal]
Let ∠AOB = ∠DOC = y
By angle sum property of a triangle we have
∠A + ∠B + ∠AOB = ∠D + ∠C + ∠DOC = 180°
3x + 2x + y = 70° + 30° + y = 180°
5x + y = 100° + y = 180°
Here 5x + y = 100° + y
5x = 100° + y – y
5x = 100°
x = \(\frac{100^{\circ}}{5}\) = 20°
∠A = 3x = 3 × 20 = 60°
∠B = 2x = 2 × 20 = 40°
∠A = 60°
∠B = 40°

Question 5.
Observe the figure and find the value of
∠A + ∠N + ∠G + ∠L + ∠E + ∠S.

Solution:
In the figure we have two triangles namely ∆AGE and ∆NLS.
By angle sum property of triangles,
Sum of angles of ∆AGE = ∠A + ∠G + ∠E = 180° …(1)
Also sum of angles of ∆NLS = ∠N + ∠L + ∠S = 180° … (2)
(1) + (2) ∠A + ∠G + ∠E + ∠N + ∠L + ∠S = 180° + 180°
i.e., ∠A + ∠N + ∠G + ∠L + ∠E + ∠S = 360°

Question 6.
If the three angles of a triangle are in the ratio 3 : 5 : 4, then find them.
Solution:
Given three angles of the triangles are in the ratio 3 : 5 : 4.
Let the three angle be 3x, 5x and 4x.
By angle sum property of a triangle, we have
3x + 5x + 4x = 180°
12x = 180°
x = \(\frac{180^{\circ}}{12}\)
x = 15°
∴ The angle are 3x = 3 × 15° = 45°
5x = 5 × 15° = 75°
4x = 4 × 15° = 60°
Three angles of the triangle are 45°, 75°, 60°

Question 7.
In ∆RST, ∠S is 10° greater than ∠R and ∠T is 5° less than ∠S , find the three angles of the triangle.
Solution:
In ∆RST. Let ∠R = x.
Then given S is ∠10° greater than ∠R
∴ ∠S = x + 10°
Also given ∠T is 5° less then ∠S.
So ∠T = ∠S – 5° = (x + 10)° – 5° = x + 10° – 5°
By angle sum property of triangles, sum of three angles = 180°.

∠R + ∠S + ∠T = 180°
x + x + 10° + x + 5° = 180°
3x + 15° = 180°
3x = 180° – 15°
x = \(\frac{165^{\circ}}{3}\) = 55°
∠R = x = 55°
∠S = x + 10° = 55° + 10° = 65°
∠T = x + 5° = 55° + 5° = 60°
∴ ∠R = 55°
∠S = 65°
∠T = 60°

Question 8.
In ∆ABC , if ∠B is 3 times ∠A and ∠C is 2 times ∠A, then find the angles.
Solution:
In ABC, Let ∠A = x,
then ∠B = 3 times ∠A = 3x
∠C = 2 times ∠A = 2x
By angle sum property of a triangles,
Sum of three angles of ∆ABC =180°.
∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180
x + 3x + 2x = 180°
x (1 + 3 + 2) = 180°
6x = 180°

x = \(\frac{180^{\circ}}{6}\) = 30°
∠A = x = 30°
∠B = 3x = 3 × 30° = 90°
∠C = 2x = 2 × 30° = 60°
∴ ∠A = 30°
∠B = 90°
∠C = 60°

Question 9.
In ∆XYZ, if ∠X : ∠Z is 5 : 4 and ∠Y = 72°. Find ∠X and ∠Z.
Solution:
Given in ∆XYZ, ∠X : ∠Z = 5 : 4
Let ∠X = 5x; and ∠Z = 4x given ∠Y = 72°
By the angle sum property of triangles sum of three angles of a triangles is 180°.
∠X + ∠Y + ∠Z = 180°
5x + 72 + 4x = 180°
5x + 4x = 180° – 72°
9x = 108°
x = \(\frac{108^{\circ}}{9}\) = 12°
∠X = 5x = 5 × 12° = 60°
∠Z = 4x = 4 × 12° = 48°
∴ ∠X = 60°
∠Z = 48°

Question 10.
In a right angled triangle ABC, ∠B is right angle, ∠A is x + 1 and ∠C is 2x + 5. Find ∠A and ∠C.
Solution:
Given in ∆ABC ∠B = 90°
∠A = x + 1
∠B = 2x + 5

By angle sum property of triangles
Sum of three angles of ∆ABC = 180°
∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
(x + 1) + 90° + (2x + 5) = 180°
x + 2x + 1° + 90° + 5° = 180°
3x + 96° = 180°
3x = 180° – 96° = 84°
x = \(\frac{84^{\circ}}{3}\) = 28°
∠A = x + 1 = 28 + 1 = 29
∠C = 2x + 5 = 2 (28) + 5 = 56 + 5 = 61
∴ ∠A = 29°
∠C = 61°

Question 11.
In a right angled triangle MNO, ∠N = 90°, MO is extended to P. If ∠NOP = 128°, find the other two angles of ∆MNO.
Solution:
Given ∠N = 90°
MO is extended to P, the exterior angle ∠NOP = 128°
Exterior angle is equal to the sum of interior opposite angles.

∴ ∠M + ∠N = 128°
∠M + 90° = 128°
∠M = 128° – 90°
∠M = 38°
By angle sum property of triangles,
∴ ∠M + ∠N + ∠O = 180°
38° + 90° + ∠O = 180°
∠O = 180° – 128°
∠O = 52°
∴ ∠M = 38° and ∠O = 52°

Question 12.
Find the value of x in each of the given triangles.

Solution:
(i) In ∆ABC, given B = 65°,
AC is extended to L, the exterior angle at C, ∠BCL = 135°
Exterior angle is equal to the sum of opposite interior angles.
∠A + ∠B = ∠BCL
∠A + 65° = 135°
∠A = 135° – 65°
∴ ∠A = 70°
x + ∠A = 180° [∵ linear pair]
x + 70° = 180° [∵ ∠A = 70°]
x = 180° – 70°
∴ x = 110°

(ii) In ∆ABC, given B = 3x – 8°
∠XAZ = ∠BAC [∵ vertically opposite angles]
8x + 7 + ∠BAC
i.e., In ∆ABC, ∠A = 8x + 7
Exterior angle ∠XCY = 120°
Exterior angle is equal to the sum of the interior opposite angles.
∠A + ∠B = 120°
8x + 7 + 3x – 8 = 120°
8x + 3x = 120° + 8 – 7
11x = 121°
x = \(\frac{121^{\circ}}{11}\) = 11°

Question 13.
In ∆LMN, MN is extended to O. If ∠MLN = 100 – x, ∠LMN = 2x and ∠LNO = 6x – 5, find the value of x.
Solution:
Exterior angle is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles.
∠LNO = ∠MLN + ∠LMN

6x – 5 = 100° – x + 2x
6x – 5 + x – 2x = 100°
6x + x – 2x = 100° + 5°
5x = 105°
x = \(\frac{105^{\circ}}{5}\) = 21°
x = 21°

Question 14.
Using the given figure find the value of x.

Solution:
In ∆EDC, side DE is extended to B, to form the exterior angle ∠CEB = x.
We know that the exterior angle is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles
∠CEB = ∠CDE + ∠ECD
x = 50° + 60°
x = 110°

Question 15.
Using the diagram find the value of x.

Solution:
Given triangle is an equilateral triangle as the three sides are equal. For an equilateral triangle all three angles are equal and is equal to 60° Also exterior angle is equal to sum of opposite interior angles.
x = 60° + 60°.
x = 120°
