Long Questions (6 Marks)
Q1. Prove theorem 8.1 diagonal congruent triangles.
Answer: In ABCD parallelogram, AC diagonal. BC||AD, AC transversal, ∠BCA=∠DAC alternate. AB||DC, ∠BAC=∠DCA alternate. AC common. ASA, ∆ABC ≅ ∆CDA.
Q2. Prove theorem 8.2 opp sides equal.
Answer: From 8.1, congruent triangles, corresponding sides AB=DC, AD=BC.
Q3. Prove theorem 8.3 if opp sides equal, parallelogram.
Answer: AB=CD, AD=BC. Draw AC. ∆ABC ∆CDA SSS? Wait ASA from alternate? Proof draw AC, ∠BAC=∠DCA alternate if parallel assume not, but from equal sides.
Q4. Prove theorem 8.4 opp angles equal.
Answer: Consecutive supplementary co-interior. So ∠A + ∠B =180, ∠B + ∠C=180, ∠A=∠C opp. Similarly ∠B=∠D.
Q5. Prove theorem 8.5 if opp angles equal, parallelogram.
Answer: Sum angles 360°, if opp equal, consecutive 180°, co-interior parallel.
Q6. Prove theorem 8.6 diagonals bisect.
Answer: Draw diagonals intersect O. Tri AOB COD congruent SAS (opp sides, alternate angles). So AO=CO, BO=DO CPCT.
Q7. Prove theorem 8.7 if diagonals bisect, parallelogram.
Answer: Diagonals intersect O midpoint. Tri AOB COD congruent SAS (AO=CO, BO=DO, vertical ∠AOB=∠COD). So AB=CD, alternate ∠OAB=∠OCD parallel AB||CD. Similarly AD||BC.
Q8. Prove mid-point theorem 8.8.
Answer: In ∆ABC, D E mid-points AB AC. Draw DE||BC. Assume F on BC DE parallel. Tri AEF ADE congruent? Wait proof draw line through C parallel DE intersect AB extended. Then congruent, ratios.
Q9. Prove converse 8.9.
Answer: Line parallel BC joins AB AC. Prove mid-points. Congruent triangles, equal segments.
