Draw ΔRSP ∼ ΔTQP. In ΔTQP, TP = 5 cm, ∠P = 50°, PQ = 4.5 cm and `("RS")/("TQ") = 2/3`.

If m and n are real numbers and m > n, if m² + n², m² – n² and 2 mn are the sides of the triangle, then prove that the triangle is right-angled. (Use the converse of the Pythagoras theorem). Find out two Pythagorian triplets using convenient values of m and n.

Find the value of sin 0° + cos 0° + tan 0° + sec 0°.

Find the value of sin 45° + cos 45° + tan 45°.

Construct any ΔABC. Construct ΔA'BC' such that AB : A'B = 5 : 3 and ΔABC ∼ ΔA'BC'.

What will be the value of sin 45° + `1/sqrt(2)`?

In the given figure, if sin θ = `7/13`, which angle will be θ?

If ΔABC ∼ ΔDEF, length of side AB is 9 cm and length of side DE is 12 cm, then find the ratio of their corresponding areas.

Prove that: cot θ + tan θ = cosec θ·sec θ

Proof: L.H.S. = cot θ + tan θ

= `square/square + square/square`  ......`[∵ cot θ = square/square, tan θ = square/square]`

= `(square + square)/(square xx square)`  .....`[∵ square + square = 1]`

= `1/(square xx square)`

= `1/square xx 1/square`

= cosec θ·sec θ  ......`[∵ "cosec"  θ = 1/square, sec θ = 1/square]`

= R.H.S.

∴ L.H.S. = R.H.S.

∴ cot θ + tan θ = cosec·sec θ

If sec θ = `1/2`, what will be the value of cos θ?

What is the distance of the point (– 5, 4) from the origin?

Find will be the value of cos 90° + sin 90°.

In the figure, PQ ⊥ BC, AD ⊥ BC. To find the ratio of A(ΔPQB) and A(ΔPBC), complete the following activity.

Given: PQ ⊥ BC, AD ⊥ BC

Now, A(ΔPQB)  = `1/2 xx square xx square`

A(ΔPBC)  = `1/2 xx square xx square`

Therefore, 

`(A(ΔPQB))/(A(ΔPBC)) = (1/2 xx square xx square)/(1/2 xx square xx square)`

= `square/square`
