Assuming the mirror is placed on the ground facing the sky and the girl, mirror and the lamp post are in the same line, find the height of the lamp post.

13 m
14 m
15 m
12.8 m

110°
12.
If in triangles ABC and EDF,\(\cfrac { AB }{ DE } =\cfrac { BC }{ FD } \) then they will be similar, when
\(\angle B=\angle E\)
\(\angle A=\angle D\)
\(\angle B=\angle D\)
\(\angle A=\angle F\)
1.
Since the ratio of area of two similar triangles is equal to the ratio of the squares of any two corresponding sides, we have
\(\frac { Area(\Delta ABC) }{ Area(\Delta DEF) } =\frac { { BC }^{ 2 } }{ { EF }^{ 2 } } \) gives \(\frac { 54 }{ Area(\Delta DEF) } =\frac { { 3 }^{ 2 } }{ { 4 }^{ 2 } } \)
\(Area(\Delta DEF)=\frac { 16\times 54 }{ 9 } =96{ cm }^{ 2 }\)
2.
In Is \(\triangle\)ABC ~ \(\triangle\)PQR
\(\frac { PQ }{ AB } =\frac { 3 }{ 6 } =\frac { 1 }{ 2 } ;\frac { QR }{ BC } =\frac { 4 }{ 10 } =\frac { 2 }{ 5 } \)
Since \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \neq \frac { 2 }{ 5 } ,\frac { PQ }{ AB } \neq \frac { QR }{ BC } \)
The corresponding sides are not proportional.
Therefore \(\triangle\)ABC is not similar to \(\triangle\)PQR.

3.


Given a triangle PQR, we are required to construct another triangle whose sides are \(\frac { 7 }{ 4 } \) of the corresponding sides of the triangle PQR.
Steps of construction
1. Construct a DPQR with any measurement.
2. Draw a ray QX making an acute angle with QR on the side opposite to vertex P.
3. Locate 7 points (the greater of 7 and 4 in \(\frac { 7 }{ 4 } \))
Q1,Q2,Q3,Q4,Q5,Q6 and Q7 on QX so that
QQ1 = Q1Q2 = Q2Q3 = Q4Q5 = Q5Q6 = Q6Q7
4. Join Q4 (the 4th point, 4 being smaller of 4 and 7 in \(\frac { 7 }{ 4 } \)) to R and draw a line through Q7 parallel to Q4R, intersecting the extended line segment QR at R'.
5. Draw a line through R' parallel to RP intersecting the extended line segment QP at P'.
Then \(\triangle\)P'QR' is the required triangle each of whose sides is seven-fourths of the corresponding sides of \(\triangle\)PQR.
4.

Construction
Step 1: Draw a line segment PQ = 8cm.
Step 2: At P, draw PE such that \(\angle\)QPE = 60o.
Step3: At P, draw PF such that\(\angle\)EPF = 90o.
Step 4: Draw the perpendicular bisector to PQ, which intersects PF at O and PQ at G.
Step 5: With O as centre and OP as radius draw a circle.
Step 6: From G mark arcs of radius 5.8 cm on the circle. Mark them as R and S.
Step 7: Join PR and RQ. Then \(\triangle\)PQR is the required triangle.
Step 8: From R draw a line RN perpendicular to \(\angle\)Q. \(\angle\)Q meets RN at M
Step 9: The length of the altitude is RM = 3.8 cm.
5.
In \(\triangle\) ABC we have DE || BC.
By Thales theorem, we have \(\frac { AD }{ DB } =\frac { AE }{ EC } \)
\(\frac { x }{ x-2 } =\frac { x+2 }{ x-1 } \) gives x(x - 1) = (x - 2)(x + 2)
When x = 4, AD = 4, DB = x - 2, AE + x + 2 = 6, EC = x - 1 = 3
Hence, AB = AD + DB = 4 + 2 = 6, AC = AE + EC = 6 + 3 = 9
Therefore, AB = 6, AC = 9
6.
Let AC is the lamp post and ED is the girl.
From the triangles ABC and DBE
o
By AA criteria
Their sides are Proportional
\(\frac{A C}{D E}=\frac{B C}{B E} \)
\( \frac{A C}{12.5}=\frac{6.6}{2.5} \)
\(A C= \frac{6.6 \times 12.5}{2.5}=\frac{6.6 \times 12.5^{5}}{2.5}=33 \mathrm{~m} \)
Height of the lamp post = 33 m
