Prove that :
(i) $\triangle ADX \cong \triangle CBY$
(ii) $AX = CY$
(iii) $AX \| CY$
(iv) AYCX is a parallelogram.

Answer

[Hint.
(i) $\angle D=\angle B, \angle D A X=\angle B C Y\left(\frac{1}{2} \angle A=\frac{1}{2} \angle C\right), A D=B C$.
(ii) $\angle 1=\angle 2\left(\frac{1}{2} \angle A=\frac{1}{2} \angle C\right)$, and $\angle 2=\angle 3$ (alt. int. $\left.\angle s \right) \Rightarrow \angle 1=\angle 3$.]

Case Study II: Ms Mehta teaches maths in a school. One day after teaching the lesson of number system, she wanted to check the understanding of the students of her class. So, she wrote two numbers, $\frac{3}{11}$ and $0 . \overline{52}$ on the blackboard and asked few questions based on them. You please try to answer the following questions asked by Ms Mehta.
1. The decimal expansion of $\frac{3}{11}$ is:
(a) terminating (b) non-terminating
(c) non-terminating non-repeating (d) non-terminating repeating
2. $0 . \overline{52}$ is:
(a) non-terminating non repeating (b) non-terminating repeating
(c) non-terminating (d) terminating
3. The decimal form of $\frac{3}{11}$ is:
(a) 0.27 (b) 0.2727 (c) $0 . \overline{27}$ (d) 0.3
4. $0 . \overline{52}$ as a vulgar fraction becomes:
(a) $\frac{52}{99}$ (b) $\frac{52}{100}$(c) $\frac{26}{25}$ (d) $\frac{13}{25}$
5. The sum of $0 . \overline{52}$ and $\frac{3}{11}$ is:
(a) $\frac{79}{99}$ (b) $\frac{70}{99}$ (c) $\frac{52}{99}$ (d) $\frac{40}{99}$
