Interior Angle and Exterior Angle
Interior Angle: interior angle (or internal angle) if a point within the angle is in the interior of the polygon. A polygon has exactly one internal angle per vertex.
Exterior Angle: exterior angle (or external angle) is an angle formed by one side of a simple polygon and a line extended an adjacent side
Q-5 In the figure and PS bisects . Prove that
Solution:
Given, and PS bisects
- To prove,
- Proof,
… equation (1) ( as angle opposite to larger side is larger.) … equation (2) (PS bisects )
… equation (3) (exterior angle of a triangle equals to the sum of opposite interior angles) … . equation (4) (exterior angle of a triangle equals to the sum of opposite interior angles)
- Adding (1) and (2)
[from (1) , (2) , (3) and (4) ]
Q-6 Show that of all line segments drawn from a given point not on it, the perpendicular line segment is the shortest.
Solution:
- Let l is a line segment and B is a point lying . We drew a line AB perpendicular to l. Let C be any other point on l.
- To prove,
- Proof, In ,
- Now,
( must be acute angle. (Angle sum property of a triangle)
or
(Side opposite to the larger angle is larger.)
