Question : It is given that $\triangle \mathrm{PQR} \cong \triangle \mathrm{MNY}$ and $PQ=8\ \mathrm{cm}, \angle Q = 55°$ and $\angle P = 72°$. Which of the following is true?

Option 1: $\mathrm{NY}=8 \mathrm{~cm}, \angle \mathrm{Y}=72^{\circ}$

Option 2: $\mathrm{NM}=8 \mathrm{~cm}, \angle \mathrm{M}=53^{\circ}$

Option 3: $\mathrm{NM}=8 \mathrm{~cm}, \angle \mathrm{Y}=53^{\circ}$

Option 4: $\mathrm{NY}=8 \mathrm{~cm}, \angle \mathrm{N}=55^{\circ}$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\mathrm{NM}=8 \mathrm{~cm}, \angle \mathrm{Y}=53^{\circ}$


Solution : In $\triangle PQR,$
$\angle P + \angle Q +\angle R = 180°$
⇒ $72°+55°+\angle R = 180°$
⇒ $\angle R = 180° - 127°$
⇒ $\angle R = 53°$
As $\triangle \mathrm{PQR} \cong \triangle \mathrm{MNY}$,
⇒ $\angle Y = \angle R=53° $

Question : $\triangle$ LON and $\triangle$ LMN are two right-angled triangles with common hypotenuse LN such that $\angle$ LON = $90^{\circ}$ and $\angle$ LMN = $90^{\circ}$. LN is the bisector of $\angle$ OLM. If LN = 29 cm and ON = 20 cm, then what is the perimeter (in cm) of $\triangle$ LMN?

Option 1: 67

Option 2: 62

Option 3: 65

Option 4: 70

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024
