    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: A

    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.


  1. If the sides of a triangle are in the ratio 3 : 1
    1
    : 3
    1
    then the traigle is
    44

    Here , Ratio of sides = 3 :
    5
    :
    13
    44

    Ratio of sides = 12 : 5 : 13

    Correct Option: A

    Here , Ratio of sides = 3 :
    5
    :
    13
    44

    Ratio of sides = 12 : 5 : 13
    ∴ 5² + 12² = 13²
    From above relation it is clear that It is a right angled triangle .



  1. The measure of each interior angle of a regular polygon with 8 sides is

    Required interior angle =
    (2n - 4) × 90°
    8

    Here , n = 8
    Required interior angle =
    (2 × 8 - 4)
    × 90°
    8

    Correct Option: A

    Required interior angle =
    (2n - 4) × 90°
    8

    Here , n = 8
    Required interior angle =
    (2 × 8 - 4)
    × 90°
    8

    Required interior angle =
    12 × 90°
    = 135°
    8


  1. Among the angles 30°, 36°, 45°, 50° one angle cannot be an exterior angle of a regular polygon. The angle is

    As we know that Sum of exterior angles of a regular polygon = 360°

    But
    360°
    = 7.2 ≠ a whole number
    50

    Correct Option: D

    As 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 .



  1. 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

    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: B

    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
    ⇒ n =
    12
    = 6
