Prove that the sum of the squares of the diagonals of parallelogram is equal to the sum of the squares of its sides.




Given that ABCD be a parallelogram.

Construction : We have to Draw AF and DE perpendicular on side DC and on extended side AB to use Pythagoras theorem

In ΔDEA, DE2 + EA2 = DA2 … (i)

Similarly, In ΔDEB,

DE2 + EB2 = DB2

DE2 + (EA + AB)2 = DB2 ( EB =EA + AB)

DE2 + EA2 + AB2 + 2EA × AB == DB2

(DE2 + EA2) + AB2 + 2EA × AB = DB2

DA2 + AB2 + 2EA × AB = DB2 … (ii)( Using -----1)

In ΔAFC, AC2 = AF2 + FC2

= AF2 + (DC − FD)2

= AF2 + DC2 + FD2 − 2DC × FD

= (AF2 + FD2) + DC2 − 2DC × FD

=AC2 = AD2 + DC2 − 2DC × FD ( using AD2 = AF2 + FD2)… (iii)

Now,given that  ABCD is a parallelogram, AB = CD … (iv) And, BC = AD … (v)

Look In ΔDEA and ΔADF,

∠DEA = ∠AFD (Both 90°)

∠EAD = ∠ADF (EA || DF -Alternate angles )

AD = AD (Common)

∴ ΔEAD cong. ΔFDA (AAS congruence criterion)

⇒ EA = DF … (vi)
Adding equations (i) and (iii), we obtain

DA2 + AB2 + 2EA × AB + AD2 + DC2 − 2DC × FD = DB2 + AC2

DA2 + AB2 + AD2 + DC2 + 2EA × AB − 2DC × FD = DB2 + AC2

BC2 + AB2 + AD2 + DC2 + 2EA × AB − 2AB × EA = DB2 + AC2

[Using equations (iv) and (vi)]

AB2 + BC2 + CD2 + DA2 = AC2 + BD2

Q. In Fig. is the perpendicular bisector of the line segment DE, FA perpendiculat OB and F E intersects OB at the point C. Prove that 1/ OA + 1/OB = 1/OC




InΔ AOF and ΔBOD

<O = <O (Same angle) and <A = <B (each 90°)

Therefore, ΔAOF ~ ΔBOD (AA similarity)

So,OA/OB = FA/BD ------(1) (B.P.T)

Also, in ΔFAC and ΔEBC,

<A = <B (Each 90°)

<FCA = <ECB (Vertically opposite angles).

 Î”FAC ~ ΔEBC (AA similarity).

So, FA/EB = AC/BC------(2)

But EB = DB (B is mid-point of DE)

Therefore,using (1) and (2)

AC/BC = OA/OB

OC–OA/ OB–OC = OA /OB

or OB . OC – OA . OB = OA . OB – OA . OC

or OB . OC + OA . OC = 2 OA . OB
or (OB + OA). OC = 2 OA . OB

1/ OA + 1/OB = 1/OC [ Dividing both the sides by OA . OB . OC]

Q. In the given figure, D is a point on side BC of ΔABC such that BD/ CD = AB/AC. Prove that AD is the bisector of ∠BAC.


Proof: Construction needed : Extend BA to P such that AP = AC then join PC

Given that BD/ CD = AB/AC but AP = AC

BD/ CD = AB/AP
AD || PC ( by using the converse of B.P.T.)

⇒ ∠BAD = ∠APC (Corresponding angles) … (1)

also, ∠DAC = ∠ACP (Alternate interior angles) … (2)But ∠APC = ∠ACP … (3) ( as AP = AC)

Using (1), (2), and (3), we obtain

∠BAD = ∠APC

⇒ AD is the bisector of the angle BAC.

Q.Nazima is fly fishing in a stream. The tip of her fishing rod is 1.8 m above the surface of the water and the fly at the end of the string rests on the water 3.6 m away and 2.4 m from a point directly under the tip of the rod. Assuming that her string (from the tip of her rod to the fly) is taut, ho much string does she have out ? If she pulls in the string at the rate of 5 cm per second, what will be the horizontal distance of the fly from her after 12 seconds?


Let AB and BC be the height of the tip of the fishing rod from the water surface and the horizontal distance of the fly from the tip of the fishing rod. We get a triangle ABC
she pulls in the string at the rate of 5 cm per second for 12 seconds = 12 × 5 = 60 cm = 0.6 m

In  Î” ABC.  AC2 = AB2 + BCAB2 = (1.8 m)2 + (2.4 m)2

Þ AB = 3 m
String pulled in 12 seconds to point D by pulling 0.6 m
 but AC is the length of the original string.
Now AD is the length of the new string = 3.00 − 0.6 = 2.4 m
In ΔADB,  AB2 + BD2 = AD
(1.8 m)2 + BD2 = (2.4 m)2
BD = 1.587 m
So, the horizontal distance of the fly from her after 12 seconds = (1.587 + 1.2) m
= 2.79 m

X Class 10 NCERT Activity Explanation Class 10 Metals and Non Metals Activity 3.1 Page No. 37 Take samples of iron, copper, aluminium and magnesium. Note the appearance of each sample. They have a shining surface. Clean the surface of each sample by rubbing them with sand paper and note their appearance again. They become more shiny. => Freshly cut Metal have shiny surface Activity 3.2 Page No. 37 Take small pieces of iron, copper, aluminium, and magnesium. Try to cut these metals with a sharp knife and note your observations. They are very hard to cut. Hold a piece of sodium metal with a pair of tongs and try to cut it with a knife. Sodium can be cut easily with knife. Hence K and Na are soft metal cut with knife Activity 3.3 Page No. 38 Take pieces of iron, zinc, lead and copper try to strike it four or five times with a hammer. These metals are beaten into thin sheet on hammering. This property of metal is called malleability and metals are called malleable. Activity 3.4 Page

CBSE I NCERT 10th Numerical Problem solved Reflection and reflection of light

Q. 1. A concave mirror of focal length 20cm is placed 50 cm from a wall. How far from the wall an object be placed to form its real image on the wall?  Solution: V= -50 cm F= -20cm From mirror formula 1/u = 1/f – 1/v = -1/20+ 1/50 = - 3/100  U = - 33.3 cm Therefore, the distance of the object from the wall x =  50 – u X = 50 – 33.3 = 16.7 cm. Q.2. An object is placed at a distance of 40cm from a concave mirror of focal length 15cm. If the object is displaced through a distance of 20 cm towards the mirror, By how much distance is the image displaced? Answer: Here f = - 15 cm, u = - 40 cm Now 1/f = 1/u + 1/v Then 1/v = 1/f – 1/u Or V= uf/u-f =( - 40 x -15)/25 = -24 cm Then object is displaced towards the mirror let u1 be the distance object from the Mirror in its new position. Then u1 = -(40-20) = -20cm If the image is formed at a distance u1 from the mirror then v1 = u1f/u1-f = -20X-15/-20+15 = -60 cm. = - 20 x-15/-20+15 = -60 cm. Therefor
