                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum As per the given in question , we draw a figure right-angled triangle BAC  BD = DC = 1 BC 2 
 ∴AC² = AD² + CD²
 AB² = AD² + BD²
 AC² = AD² + CD²
 On adding, we get
 AB² + AC² = 2AD² + 2CD²
 Correct Option: AAs per the given in question , we draw a figure right-angled triangle BAC  BD = DC = 1 BC 2 
 ∴AC² = AD² + CD²
 AB² = AD² + BD²
 AC² = AD² + CD²
 On adding, we get
 AB² + AC² = 2AD² + 2CD²
 ⇒ BC² = 2AD² + 2CD²
 ⇒ 4CD² = 2AD² + 2CD²
 ⇒ AD² = CD²
 ⇒ AD = CD = BD
 Mid point on the hypotenuse of a right angled triangle is equidistant from the vertices.
-  If the sides of a triangle are in the ratio 3 : 1 1 : 3 1 then the traigle is 4 4 
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum Here , Ratio of sides = 3 : 5 : 13 4 4 
 Ratio of sides = 12 : 5 : 13
 Correct Option: AHere , Ratio of sides = 3 : 5 : 13 4 4 
 Ratio of sides = 12 : 5 : 13
 ∴ 5² + 12² = 13²
 From above relation it is clear that It is a right angled triangle .
-  The measure of each interior angle of a regular polygon with 8 sides is

                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum Required interior angle = (2n - 4) × 90° 8 
 Here , n = 8Required interior angle = (2 × 8 - 4) × 90° 8 
 Correct Option: ARequired interior angle = (2n - 4) × 90° 8 
 Here , n = 8Required interior angle = (2 × 8 - 4) × 90° 8 Required interior angle = 12 × 90° = 135° 8 
-  Among the angles 30°, 36°, 45°, 50° one angle cannot be an exterior angle of a regular polygon. The angle is

                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum As we know that Sum of exterior angles of a regular polygon = 360° But 360° = 7.2 ≠ a whole number 50 Correct Option: DAs we know that Sum of exterior angles of a regular polygon = 360° But 360° = 7.2 ≠ a whole number 50 
 Hence , 50° angle cannot be an exterior angle of a regular polygon .
-  If the sum of interior angles of a regular polygon is equal to two times the sum of exterior angles of that polygon, then the number of sides of that polygon is
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum Let Number of sides of regular polygon = n 
 Sum of interior angles = (2n – 4) × 90°
 Sum of exterior angles = 360°
 From question ,
 ∴ (2n – 4) × 90° = 2 × 360°⇒ 2n - 4 = 2 × 360° = 8 90 
 ⇒ 2n – 4 = 8
 ⇒ 2n = 8 + 4 = 12
 Correct Option: BLet Number of sides of regular polygon = n 
 Sum of interior angles = (2n – 4) × 90°
 Sum of exterior angles = 360°
 From question ,
 ∴ (2n – 4) × 90° = 2 × 360°⇒ 2n - 4 = 2 × 360° = 8 90 
 ⇒ 2n – 4 = 8
 ⇒ 2n = 8 + 4 = 12⇒ n = 12 = 6 2
