Q.
In the figure, a circle with centre π is inscribed in a quadrilateral π΄π΅πΆπ· such that it touches the side π΅πΆ, π΄π΅, π΄π· and πΆπ· at points π, π, π
and π respectively. If π΄π΅ = 29 ππ,
π΄π· = 23 ππ, β π΅ = 90Β° and π·π = 5 ππ, the radius of the circle (in cm) is:
i. 11
ii. 18
iii. 6
iv. 15
(OR)
In triangle π΄π΅πΆ and π·πΈπΉ, β π΅ = β πΈ, β πΉ = β πΆ and π΄π΅ = 3π·πΈ. 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 π΄π΅ = 29 ππ, π΄π· = 23 ππ, β π΅ = 90Β° and π·π = 5 ππ
Tangents to a circle from an external point are equal in length.
Since DS = 5 cm, then DR = 5 cm
Now, in quadrilateral πππ΅π, β π΅ = 90Β°
Also, πππ΅ = πππ΅ = 90Β°(tangent is perpendicular to radius at point of contact)
So, β πππ = 90Β°, that is ππππ
is a rectangle.
Since ππ΄ = ππ΅, ,ππππ
is a square, the radius of ππ = π΅π = 11ππ.
Hence, option (a)11 is correct
(OR)
In β³π΄π΅πΆ and β³π·πΈF,
β π΅ = β πΈ (πππ£ππ)
β πΉ = β πΆ(given)
By π΄π΄ test of similarity β³π΄π΅πΆ ~ β³π·πΈπΉ
Since there are no congruence criteria like π΄π΄.
Therefore β³π΄π΅πΆ and β³π·πΈπΉ are similar but not congruent.
Hence, option (b) similar but not congruent is correct.
