(Since, A-Q-R and A-R-S )
 PQ = RS (from i)

12. Let the measure of the smaller angle be x and that of the larger angle be y.
The larger angle is 3° less than twice the measure of the smaller angle.
 y = 2x − 3° ….(1)
Now, x + y =180° (Two angles are complementary)
⇒ x + (2x − 3°) = 180°
⇒ 3x = 183°
⇒ x = 61°
Substitute value of x in equation (1)
y = 2(61) − 3°
⇒ y = 119°
So, the measures of the two angles are 61° and 119°.

Consider,
p(x) = 2x4 + 3x3 + 2px2 + 3x + 6
According to the question,
p(-2) = 2 × (-2)4 + 3 × (-2)3 + 2p(-2)2 + 3(-2) + 6
p(-2) = 32 – 24 + 8p – 6 + 6
p(-2) = 8 + 8p
By factor theorem,
p(-2) = 0
8 + 8p = 0
p = -1

26. Given: Two lines AB and CD which intersect each other at O.

To prove: ∠AOC = ∠BOD and ∠AOD = ∠BOC

Proof: Since AB is line and ray OD stands on it

∠AOD + ∠BOD = 180° ….(1)(Linear pair axiom)
Since CD is a line and ray OA stands on it
∠AOC + ∠AOD = 180° ….(2)(Linear pair axiom )
From (i) and (ii)
∠AOC + ∠AOD = ∠AOD + ∠BOD
 ∠ AOC = ∠BOD
Similarly, we can prove that
∠ BOC = ∠AOD
OR

2x = z (Alternate angles, as l1 || l2)

y = z (Alternate angles, as a1 || a2)
So, 2x = y
Now, y + 4x – 15 = 180° (linear pair)
2x + 4x – 15 = 180°
6x = 195°  x = 32.5

Given: ABC is an equilateral triangle. AD, BE and CF are medians of triangle ABC.
To prove: AD = BE = CF
Proof:

29. Given: Three friends Anuja, Nikita and Raghav daily go on morning walks and walk
along PQ, QR and PR of triangular field PQR, respectively.

Here, 50° < 60° < 70°

i.e.  A <  B <  C
We know that side opposite to greater angle is longer.
Hence, BC < CA < AB
 So, distance AB is the maximum. Thus, Anuja walks the maximum distance. Further,
distance QR is the least. Thus, Nikita walks the least distance.
Value: Awareness for a daily walk for better health without gender and religion bias.
