Chapter 9 Triangle and its Angles R.D. Sharma Solutions for Class 9th Exercise 9.2
Exercise 9.2
1. The exterior angles, obtained on producing the base of a triangle both way are 104° and 136°. Find all the angles of the triangle.
Solution
∠ACD = ∠ABC + ∠BAC [Exterior angle property]
Now,
∠ABC = 180 - 136 = 44°
∠ACB = 180 - 104 = 76°
Now,
In ΔABC,
∠A+∠ABC+∠ACB = 180 [Sum of all angles of a triangle]
⇒ ∠A + 44 + 76 = 180°
⇒ ∠A + 120 = 180°
⇒ ∠A = 180° -120°
⇒ ∠A = 60°
2. In a Δ ABC, the internal bisectors of ∠B and ∠C meet at P and the external bisectors of ∠B and ∠C meet at Q, Prove that ∠BPC + ∠BQC = 180°.
Solution
3. In Fig. 9.30, the sides BC, CA and AB of a Δ ABC have been produced to D, E and F respectively. If ∠ACD = 105° and ∠EAF = 45°, find all the angles of the Δ ABC.
Solution
4. Compute the value of x in each of the following figures:

5. In Fig. 9.35, AB divides ∠DAC in the ratio 1 : 3 and AB = DB. Determine the value of x.
Solution
6. ABC is a triangle. The bisector of the exterior angle at B and the bisector of ∠C intersect each other at D. Prove that ∠D = 1/2 ∠A.
Solution
7. In Fig. 9.36, AC ⊥ CE and ∠A : ∠B : ∠C = 3 : 2 : 1, find the value of ∠ECD.
Solution
8. In Fig. 9.37, AM ⊥ BC and AN is the bisector of ∠A. If ∠B = 65° and ∠C = 33°, find ∠MAN.
Solution
9. In a Δ ABC, AD bisects ∠A and ∠C > ∠B. Prove that ∠ADB > ∠ADC.
Solution
10. In Δ ABC, BD⊥ AC and CE ⊥ AB. If BD and CE intersect at O, prove that ∠BOC = 180° − A.
Solution
11. In a Fig. 9.38, AE bisects ∠CAD and ∠B= ∠C. Prove that AE || BC.
Solution
12. In Fig. 9.39, AB || DE. Find ∠ACD.
