24 In a rectangle, one diagonal is inclined to one of its sides at 25°. Measure the acute angle 2
 between the two diagonals.

Let ABCD be a rectangle where AC and BD are the two diagonals which are intersecting
at point O.
Now, assume ∠BDC = 25° (given)
Now, ∠BDA = 90° – 25° = 65°
Also, ∠DAC = ∠BDA, (as diagonals of a rectangle divide the rectangle into two
congruent right triangles)
So, ∠BOA = the acute angle between the two diagonals = 180° – 65° – 65° = 50°

25 Prove that equal chords of a circle subtend equal angles at the centre. 2
Or
Find the length of the chord which is at a distance of 8 cm from the centre of a circle of a
radius 17 cm.
Solution:
Given: AB and CD are two equal chords of a circle with a centre O.

To Prove: ∠AOB=∠COD
Proof: In ΔAOB and ΔCOD,
OA=OC (Radii of a circle)
OB=OD (Radii of a circle)
and AB=CD (Given)
∴ΔAOB≅ΔCOD (By SSS-criterion of congruence)
By using corresponding parts of congruent triangles, we have
∠AOB=∠COD

OR

Let AB be a chord of a circle with centre O and radius 17cm.

Draw OL ⊥ AB. Join OA.

Then , OL=8cm and OA=17cm.

From the right ΔOLA , we have

OA2=OL 2 +AL 2
⇒AL 2 =OA 2−OL 2 =[(17) 2−(8) 2]cm 2
=(17+8)(17−8)cm 2 =225cm 2
⇒AL=√225=15cm.
Since the perpendicular fromthe centre of a circle to a chord bisects the chord, we have
AB=2×AL=(2×15)cm=30cm
 SECTION C
26 AP and BQ are the bisectors of the two alternate interior angles formed by the 3
intersection of a transversal t with parallel lines l and m. Show that AP || BQ
Given, l || m, AP and BQ are the bisectors of ∠EAB and ∠ABH, respectively.
To prove AP || BQ.

Proof:
Since, l || m and t is transversal.
∠EAB=∠ABH [alternate interior angles]

⇒ 12 ∠EAB=12 ∠ABH [divided both sides by 2]

⇒ ∠PAB=∠ABQ
[AP and BQ are the bisectors of ∠EAB and ∠ABH]
Since, ∠PAB and ∠ABQ are alternate interior angles angles with two lines AP and BQ
and transversal AB.
Hence, AP || BQ.

Solution :
28 Find the solution of the linear equation 2x + 5y = 19, whose ordinate is 3/2 times its 3
abscissa.
Solution:
Given linear equation is
2x + 5y = 19 … (1)

Given that ordinate is 1 ½ times its abscissa

That is y = 3x /2

Hence equation (1) becomes

2x + 5(3x /2) = 19
19x/2 = 19
Therefore, x = 2

y = 3x/2 = (3 × 2)/2 = 3

Thus the point on the graph is (2, 3).

OR
Two batsmen Rahul and Ajay while playing a cricket match scored 120 runs. For this
situation write a linear equation and write two possible combinations of runs those two
Batsmen would have scored.
Solution:

29 The perimeter of a triangle is 50 cm. One side of the triangle is 4 cm longer than the 3
smallest side and the third side is 6 cm less than twice the smallest side. Find the area of
the triangle.

Let the smaller side of a triangle be x cm.

According to the question,
Second side = 4cm longer than the smaller side = (x + 4) cm
Third side = 6cm less than twice the smaller side
= (2x – 6)cm
∴ Perimeter of a triangle = 50cm
⇒ x + x + 4 + 2x - 6 = 50
 ⇒ 4x - 2 = 50
⇒ 4x = 52
⇒ x=524
∴ Smaller side, x = 13cm
Second side, x + 4 = 13 + 4 = 17 cm
And third side, 2x - 6 = 2 × 13 - 6 = 26 - 6 = 20 cm
Now, semi-perimeter, s=a+b+c2=13+17+202
=502=25cm
∴ Area of triangle=√s(s−a)(s−b)(s−c) [by Heron’s formula]
=√25(25−13)(25−17)(25−20)
=√25×12×8×5
=√5×5×2×2×3×2×2×2×5
=5×2×2√30=20√30
Hence, the area of triangle is 20√30cm2
30 3
If two equal chords of a circle intersect within the circle, prove that the segments of one chord
are equal to corresponding segments of the other chord.

Solution:
Drop a perpendicular from O to both chords AB and CD
In △OMP and △ONP
As chords are equal, perpendicular from centre would also be equal.
OM=ON
OP is common.
∠OMP=∠ONP=90o

△OMP ≅ △ONP (RHS Congruence)

PM=PN [By CPCT] ......................(1)

AM=BM (Perpendicular from centre bisects the chord)
Similarly ,CN=DN
As AB=CD
AB−AM=CD−DN
BM=CN .........................(2)

From (1) and (2)

BM−PM=CN−PN
PB=PC
AM=DN (Half the length of equal chords are equal)
AM+PM=DN+PN
AP=PD

Therefore, PB=PC and AP=PD is proved.

31 The circumference of the base of 10 m high conical tent is 44 m. Calculate the length of 3
canvas used in making the tent, if width of canvas is 2 m.

The total amount of canvas required would be equal to the curved surface area of the cone.
The formula of the curved surface area of a cone with base radius ‘r’ and slant height ‘l’ is given
as
Curved Surface Area =πrl
 It is given that the circumference of the base is 44 m.
So, 2πr=44 m
⇒r=442π
⇒r=44×72×22=7 m
It is given that the vertical height of the cone is h=10 m.
To find the slant height ‘l′ to be used in the formula for Curved Surface Area we use the
following relation
Slant height,
=√49+100
=√149
∴l=√149 m
Now, substituting the values of r=7 m and slant height, l=√149 m and using π=227 in the formula
of C.S.A, we get

Curved Surface Area =πrl=227×7×√149

=22√149
Hence the curved surface area of the given cone is 22√149 m2
Now, the width of the canvas is 2 m.
Area of the canvas required = (Width of the canvas)(Length of the canvas)
Therefore, Length of the canvas =Area of canvasWidth of canvas
=22√1492 [∵ Area of canvas = Curved Surface area of cone]
=11√149=134.27 m
Hence the length of canvas required is 134.27 m

SECTION D
32 ABC is an equilateral triangle drawn on side BC of a square BCDE. Prove that AE = 5
AD.

In square BCDE,
∠B = ∠C= ∠D = ∠E....................(1)
As ABC is an equilateral triangle, hence AB =BC =AC
And also BC = CD = DE = EB
So, In Triangle BAE, AB = BE
∠BAE = ∠BEA (Angles opposite to equal sides are also equal.)...........................(2)
(1)-(2)
∠BED - ∠ BEA = ∠AED
Similarly, ∠ CDE- ∠ADE = ∠ ADE
So, ∠AED = ∠ADE
AE = AD (Sides opposite to equal angles are also equal.)
33
(i) If (1

Draw a histogram and frequency polygon for the given data.
 In the given frequency distribution, class sizes are different. So, we calculate the adjusted
frequency for each class.
Here, minimum size = 20 - 10 = 10
Along the horizontal axis, we represent the class intervals of marks on some suitable
scale.
The corresponding frequencies of the number of students are represented along the Y-
axis on a suitable scale.
The given intervals start with 10 - 20. It means that there is some break (≈) indicated near
the origin to signify the graph is drawn with a scale beginning at 10.
Now, we draw rectangles with class intervals as the bases and the corresponding adjusted
frequencies as heights.

36 Mr. Kumar, a Mathematics teacher brings some green coloured clay in the classroom to
teach the topic 'mensuration'. First, he forms a cylinder of radius 6 cm and height 8 cm
with the clay. Then, he moulds that cylinder into a sphere similarly, he moulds the
sphere in other different shapes. Answer the following questions:

(i) What is the volume of the cylindrical shape? 1

(ii) What is the curved surface area of the cylindrical shape? 1
(iii) Find the radius of the sphere. 2

1. Volume of cylinder= πr²h

= π×6×6×8
= 288πcm³
2. C.S.A of cylinder=2πrh
⇒2πrh - = 2×π×6×8
⇒144π
Therefore, difference=48πcm². (option c)
3. Radius of sphere=?
since, the cylinder is molded into a sphere,
therefore, the volume of the cylinder= volume of the
sphere
⇒ πr²h=4/3πr³
 ⇒π×r×r×h=4/3×π×r×r×r
⇒h=4/3r
⇒8=4/3×r
⇒r=6cm.

If the length of each chord is 16 cm, then find its distance from the center. 1
2
Solution:
(i) Since all of them are equidistance to each other hence triangle ABC will be an
equilateral triangle.

(ii) ∠BOC=2∠BAC [ Angle made by chord at centre is twice the angle at the
circmference]
∠BOC=2(60∘)=120∘

(iii) In the given figure

AB = BC = CA(Given)
In Δ ABC is equilateral
So, ∠A = ∠B = ∠C = 60°
OA = OB = OC (Radius)
Therefore, ∠BCO = ∠ OCB = 30° (Equal sides have equal opposite angles)

OR

∵AB=BC=AC=16 cm [sides of equilateral triangle]

Then the distance from the center of each chord is = 16/2 = 8 cm (Perpendicular drawn
from the center on the chord, bisects the chord)

38 After summer vacation, Manit’s class
teacher organised a small MCQ quiz, based
on the properties of quadrilaterals. During
quiz, she asks different questions to
students. Some of the questions are listed
below.
