5.
Now, by altitude-on-hypotenuse theorem,
AB2 = AD x AC gives,
102 = x × 26
\(\Rightarrow x=\frac { 100 }{ 26 } =\frac { 50 }{ 13 } units\quad and\)
BC2 = CD × AC gives,
242 = y × 26
\(\Rightarrow y=\frac { 576 }{ 26 } =\frac { 288 }{ 13 } units\quad and\)
In Δ ABC, AB2 + BC2 = 102 + 242 = 676 = 262 = AC2 Therefore, Δ ABC is a right angled triangle.
6.
As Δ ABC is equilateral from the figure, AB = BC = AC = (x − 2) cm.
∴ From Δ BCD, by Pythagoras theorem
BD2 = BC2 + CD2
⇒ (x + 2)2 = (x − 2)2 + 82
x2 + 4x + 4 = x2 − 4x + 4 + 82
⇒ 8x = 82
⇒ x = 8 cm
∴ The side of the equilateral Δ ABC = 6 cm and BD = 10 cm.

7.
Here, the hypotenuse is 29 m. One side of the right triangle is 20 m. let the other side be ‘l’ m Therefore, by Pythagoras theorem,
l2 = 292 − 202 = 841 − 400 = 441 = 212
∴ l = 21m
Therefore, the area rectangular plot of land = l × b square units. = 20 × 21 = 210 m2.
8.
Now Δ ABC is right angled.
Therefore, by Pythagoras theorem,
AC2 = AB2 + BC2
⇒ AC2 = 82 +152 = 64 + 225 = 289
AC2 = 172
⇒ AC = 17m.
Therefore, the length of the diagonal of the two intersecting roads is 17 m.
9.
From Δ LMO, by Pythagoras theorem,
LM2 = OL2 − OM2
⇒ LM2 = 132 −122 = 169 −144 = 25 = 52
∴ LM = 5 units
From Δ NMO, by Pythagoras theorem,
MN2 = ON2 − OM2
= 152 −122 = 225 −144 = 81 = 92
∴ MN = 9 units
Hence, LN = LM + MN = 5 + 9 = 14 units
Area of Δ LON = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) × base × height
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) × LN × OM
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) × 14 × 12
= 84 square units.

10.
The ladder, wall and the ground form a right triangle with the ladder as the hypotenuse. From the figure, by Pythagoras theorem,
202 = 162 + x2
⇒ 400 = 256 + x2
⇒ x2 = 400 − 256 = 144 = 122
⇒ x = 12 feet
Therefore, the base (foot) of the ladder is 12 feet away from the wall.

11.
Take a = 5, b = 12 and c = 13
Now, a2 + b2 = 52 +122 = 25 +144 = 169 = 132 = c2
By the converse of Pythagoras theorem, the triangle with given measures is a right angled triangle.
12.
a) Δ ABC is right angled as AB ⊥ AC at A.
b) AB and AC are legs of Δ ABC.
c) CB is called as the hypotenuse.
d) ㄥB + ㄥC = 900 and equal angles are opposite to equal sides. Hence, ㄥB = ㄥC = \(\frac { { 90 }^{ 0 } }{ 2 } \) = 450
