Answer: Option B. -> OD = OC
:
B
Consider ΔBOCand ΔAOD
1)AD = BC ( Given )
2) CBO=DAO= 90°
3) BOC=AOD ......(vertically opposite angles)

ΔBOCΔAOD ....[AAS Criterion]
OC = OD ....(congruent parts of congruent triangle)
Question 2. Consider the two statements:
Statement 1: If two line segments have the same length, then they are congruent.
Statement 2: If two line segments are congruent, then they have the same length.
  1.    Statement 1 is true and statement 2 is false.
  2.    Statement 1 is false and statement 2 is true.
  3.    Both Statement 1 and statement 2 are true.
  4.    Both Statement 1 and statement 2 are false.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Both Statement 1 and statement 2 are true.
:
C
Two line segments are congruent only if they superimpose which is possible only if they have equal length and the converse is also true.
Hence, both the given statementsare true.
Question 3. In two triangles; if a pair of corresponding angles and a side are equal, then the triangles are necessarily congruent.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    OD > OC
  4.    OD < OC
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
In two triangles,
If a pair of corresponding angles and the included side are equal, then they are congruent [ASA congruence criterion].
If a pair of corresponding angles and a non-included side are equal,then they are congruent [AAS congruence criterion].
Therefore, given statement is true.
Question 4. In the below quadrilateral ABCD, if AD = BC and DAB = CBA, then what is the relation between ABD and BAC ?
In The Below Quadrilateral ABCD, If AD = BC And ∠DAB = ∠...
  1.    ∠ABD = ∠BAC
  2.    ∠ABD
  3.    ∠ABD > ∠BAC
  4.    ∠DAB = ∠BAC
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> ∠ABD = ∠BAC
:
A
InΔABDandΔBAC,
AD = BC(Given)
BAD= CBA(Given)
AB = BA (Side common to both triangles)
HenceΔABDΔBAC
(by SAS congruence condition).
Thus, ABD = BAC
(congruent parts of congruent triangles).

(b) Answer: 1 Mark
(a)Consider the two triangles :
(a) Show With An Example That Two Triangles Can't Be Congrue...
In the two triangles,
ABC = PQR
BAC = QPR
ACB = PRQ
But clearly, ΔABC is not congruent to ΔPQR.
As the sides of triangle are not equal.
Thus, AAA cannot be a congruence condition.
It actually tells thatthe two triangles are similar, but not congruent.
(b) Since, the three sides of the first triangle is equal to the corresponding three sides of the second triangle, bySSScongruence criterion ΔABCis congruent to ΔDEF.
Question 7. Given: EB = BD, AE = CB, A=C=90

AE=CB [Given]
A=C=90 [Given]
Hypotenuse and one side of a right-angled triangle are equal to the hypotenuse and one side of another right-angled triangle.
ΔABEΔCDB [RHS congruence criterion]
Question 8. You went to eat pizza with 3 of your friends. You ordered a small pizza which was equally divided into 4 slices. Prove that all these slices are congruent to each other.  [3 MARKS]

In Δ1andΔ2:
AOD=COD=90(Diagonals of square intersect at right angles)
AD=CD (Sides of a square; hypotenuse)
OD=DO (Common)
Hence, Δ1Δ2(By RHS congruence rule) ---------------------1
Similarly, Δ4Δ3(By RHS congruence rule) ---------------------2
In Δ1andΔ4
AOD=AOB=90(Diagonals of square intersect at right angles)
AD=AB(Sides of a square; hypotenuse)
OA=AO (Common)
Hence, Δ1Δ4 (By RHS congruence rule) -------------------3
Similarly, Δ2Δ3 (By RHS congruence rule) ----------------4
From 1, 2, 3 and 4 we can say that all the triangles i.e. Δ1, Δ2, Δ3 and Δ4are congruent to each other.
5, 6, 7 and 8 have relatively small area. Since they have same shape and size, they are also congruent. So, we can say that all the slices of the pizza are congruent to each other.
Question 9. (a) DA bisects BAC and B=C. Prove that ΔBDAΔCDA.

In ΔBDAandΔCDA
B=C [Given]
BAD=CAD [Given, DA is an angle bisector]
AD=AD [Common side]
ΔBDAΔCDA [ AAS criteria]
(b) we observethat in the given figures, there are no pairs of congruent sides. Since all of the congruency theorems call for at least one pair of congruent sides, there isn'tenough information to prove that the triangles are congruent. Two triangles cannot be proved congruent just by AAA because triangles with same angles can have different sizes.
Question 10. Among two congruent angles, one has a measure of 60o, the measure of the other angle is ___(in degrees).
 Discuss Question

:
If two angles have the same measure, they are congruent. Also, if two angles arecongruent, their measures are same.
Hence,the measure of the other angle is also60o.
