Q.

In the figure, a circle with centre 𝑂 is inscribed in a quadrilateral 𝐴𝐡𝐢𝐷 such that it touches the side 𝐡𝐢, 𝐴𝐡, 𝐴𝐷 and 𝐢𝐷 at points 𝑃, 𝑄, 𝑅 and 𝑆 respectively. If 𝐴𝐡 = 29 π‘π‘š,
𝐴𝐷 = 23 π‘π‘š, ∠𝐡 = 90Β° and 𝐷𝑆 = 5 π‘π‘š, the radius of the circle (in cm) is:

i. 11

ii. 18

iii. 6

iv. 15

                                             (OR)

In triangle 𝐴𝐡𝐢 and 𝐷𝐸𝐹, ∠𝐡 = ∠𝐸, ∠𝐹 = ∠𝐢 and 𝐴𝐡 = 3𝐷𝐸. Then, the two
triangles are:

i. Congruent but not similar

ii. Similar but not congruent

iii. Neither congruent nor similar

iv. congruent as well as similar

Detailed Solution

It is given that 𝐴𝐡 = 29 π‘π‘š, 𝐴𝐷 = 23 π‘π‘š, ∠𝐡 = 90Β° and 𝐷𝑆 = 5 π‘π‘š
Tangents to a circle from an external point are equal in length.

AQ=ARDS=DRCP=CSPB=BQ Also, AB=AQ+BQ

Since DS = 5 cm, then DR = 5 cm

So, AR=18cmAQ=18cmBQ=29βˆ’18BQ=11cm

 

Now, in quadrilateral 𝑂𝑃𝐡𝑄,  βˆ π΅ = 90Β°
Also, 𝑂𝑃𝐡 = 𝑂𝑄𝐡 = 90Β°(tangent is perpendicular to radius at point of contact)
So, βˆ π‘ƒπ‘‚π‘„ = 90Β°, that is 𝑂𝑃𝑄𝑅 is a rectangle.
Since 𝑃𝐴 = 𝑃𝐡, ,𝑂𝑃𝑄𝑅 is a square, the radius of 𝑂𝑃 = 𝐡𝑄 = 11π‘π‘š.
Hence, option (a)11 is correct

                                           (OR)

In △𝐴𝐡𝐢 and △𝐷𝐸F,

∠𝐡 = ∠𝐸 (𝑔𝑖𝑣𝑒𝑛)
∠𝐹 = ∠𝐢(given)
By 𝐴𝐴 test of similarity △𝐴𝐡𝐢 ~ △𝐷𝐸𝐹
Since there are no congruence criteria like 𝐴𝐴.
Therefore △𝐴𝐡𝐢 and △𝐷𝐸𝐹 are similar but not congruent.


Hence, option (b) similar but not congruent is correct.
