7.8 TEST YOURSELF:
- PQRS is a quadrilateral in which PS = QR and ∠SPQ = ∠RQP. Prove that (i) ΔPQS =ΔQPR (ii) QS = PR (iii) ΔPQS = ΔQPR.
- Line ‘l’ is the bisector of M and N is any point on ‘l’. NA and NB are perpendiculars from N to the arms of M.
Show that
(i) ΔMAN ≅ ΔMBN
(ii) NA = NB
3. State the S.A.S congruence rule.
4. PQR and SQR are two isosceles triangles on the same base QR.
Show that ΔPQS = ΔPRS.
5. In PQR, PS is the perpendicular bisector of OR.
Show that ΔPQR is an isosceles triangle in which PQ = PR.
- State the R.H.S congruence rule.
- ΔPQR and ΔSQR are two isosceles triangles on the same base QR and vertices P and S are on the same side of QR. If PS is extended to intersect QR at T. Then prove that
(i) Δ PQS ≅ ΔPRS
(ii) ΔPQT ≅ ΔPRT
(iii) PT bisects P as well as S.
- CM and RN are two equal altitudes of ΔPQR. Using R.H.S congruence rule prove that ΔPQR is isosceles.
- In the fig. ∠Q < ∠P and ∠R < ∠S. Show that PS < QR.
