Statement If a line is drawn parallel of one side of a triangle to intersect the other two sides in
distinct points, the other two sides are divided in the same ratio.
Given:A triangle ABC in which a line parallel to side BC intersects other two sides AB and AC
at D and E respectively (see fig.)
To prove that
Construction: Let us join BE and CD and then draw DM AC and EN AB.
Proof:
Now, area of
Note that BDE and DEC are on the same base DE and between the same parallels BC and DE.
So, ar(BDE) = ar(DEG)

Pythagoras Theorem : Statement:In a right angled triangle,the square of the hypotenuse is equal to
the sum of squares of the other two sides.
Given: A right triangle ABC right angled at B.
To prove: that AC2 = AB2 + BC2
Construction:Let us draw BD AC (See fig.)
Proof :
Now, ADB ABC (Using Theorem: If a perpendicular is drawn from the vertex of the right
angle of a right triangle to the hypotenuse ,then triangles on both sides of the perpendicular are
similar to the whole triangle and to each other)
So, (Sides are proportional)
Or, AD.AC = AB2 (1)
Also, BDC ABC (Theorem)
So,
Or, CD. AC = BC2
Adding (1) and (2),
AD. AC + CD. AC = AB2 + BC2
OR, AC (AD + CD) = AB2 + BC2

OR, AC.AC = AB2 + BC2

30] Let p(x) = x3 - 6x2 - 15x + 80
Let say that we subtracted ax + b so that it is exactly divisible by
x2 + x - 12
s(x) = x3 - 6x2 - 15x + 80 - (ax + b)
= x3 - 6x2 - (15 + a)x + (80 - b)
www.cbseguess.com
Dividend = Divisor x Quotient + Remainder
But remainder = 0
∴∴ Dividend = Divisor x Quotient
s(x) = (x2 + x -12) x quotient
s(x) = x3 - 6x2 - (15 + a)x + (80 - b)
x (x2 + x - 12) - 7(x2 + x - 12)
= x3 + x2 - 7x2 - 12x - 7x + 84
= x3 - 6x2 - 19x + 84
Hence, x3 - 6x2 - 19x + 84 = x3 - 6x2 - (15 + a)x + (80 - b)
-15 - a = - 19 ⇒ a = +4
and 80 - b = 84 ⇒ b = -4
Hence if in p(x) we subtracted 4x - 4 then it is exactly divisible by
x2 + x -12.
