Question -

In Fig. 9.34, ABC is a right triangle right angled at A. BCED, ACFGand ABMN are squares on the sides BC, CA and AB respectively. Line segment AX ^DE meets BC at Y. Show that:

(i) ΔMBC ΔABD

(ii) ar(BYXD) = 2ar(MBC)

(iii) ar(BYXD) = ar(ABMN)

(iv) ΔFCB ΔACE

(v) ar(CYXE) = 2ar(FCB)

(vi) ar(CYXE) = ar(ACFG)

(vii) ar(BCED) = ar(ABMN)+ar(ACFG)

Note: Result (vii) is the famous Theoremof Pythagoras. You shall learn a simpler proof of this theorem in class X.



Answer -

(i) We know that eachangle of a square is 90°. Hence, ABM = DBC = 90º

∴∠ABM+ABC = DBC+ABC

∴∠MBC = ABD

In ∆MBC and ∆ABD,

MBC = ABD (Proved above)

MB = AB (Sides ofsquare ABMN)

BC = BD (Sides ofsquare BCED)

∆MBC ∆ABD (SAS congruency)


(ii) We have

∆MBC ∆ABD

ar (∆MBC) = ar (∆ABD)… (i)

It is given that AX DE and BD DE (Adjacent sides of square BDEC)

BD || AX (Two linesperpendicular to same line are parallel to each other)

∆ABD and parallelogramBYXD are on the same base BD and between the same parallels BD and AX.

Area (∆YXD) = 2 Area(∆MBC) [From equation (i)] … (ii)


(iii) ∆MBC andparallelogram ABMN are lying on the same base MB and between same parallels MBand NC.

2 ar (∆MBC) = ar(ABMN)

ar (∆YXD) = ar (ABMN)[From equation (ii)] … (iii)


(iv) We know that eachangle of a square is 90°.

∴∠FCA = BCE = 90º

∴∠FCA+ACB = BCE+ACB

∴∠FCB = ACE

In ∆FCB and ∆ACE,

FCB = ACE

FC = AC (Sides ofsquare ACFG)

CB = CE (Sides ofsquare BCED)

∆FCB ∆ACE (SAS congruency)


(v) AX DE and CE DE (Adjacent sides of square BDEC) [given]

Hence,

CE || AX (Two linesperpendicular to the same line are parallel to each other)

Consider BACE andparallelogram CYXE

BACE and parallelogramCYXE are on the same base CE and between the same parallels CE and AX.

ar (∆YXE) = 2ar (∆ACE)… (iv)

We had proved that

∆FCB ∆ACE

ar (∆FCB) ar (∆ACE) … (v)

From equations (iv)and (v), we get

ar (CYXE) = 2 ar(∆FCB) … (vi)


(vi) Consider BFCB andparallelogram ACFG

BFCB and parallelogramACFG are lying on the same base CF and between the same parallels CF and BG.

ar (ACFG) = 2 ar(∆FCB)

ar (ACFG) = ar (CYXE)[From equation (vi)] … (vii)


(vii) From the figure,we can observe that

ar (∆CED) = ar(∆YXD)+ar (CYXE)

ar (∆CED) = ar(ABMN)+ar (ACFG) [From equations (iii) and (vii)].
