Question : Let ABC be an equilateral triangle and AD perpendicular to BC, Then AB2 + BC2 + CA2 =?
Option 1: 2AD2
Option 2: 3AD2
Option 3: 4AD2
Option 4: 5AD2
Correct Answer: 4AD2
Solution : Here ABC is an equilateral triangle with side length $a$ and AD $\perp$ BC. So, BD = CD = $\frac{a}{2}$ In $\triangle$ABD, AB2 = BD2 + AD2 ⇒ $a^2=(\frac{a}{2})^2+$ AD2 $\therefore$ AD = $\frac{\sqrt3}{2}a$ = $\frac{\sqrt3}{2}$AB = $\frac{\sqrt3}{2}$BC = $\frac{\sqrt3}{2}$AC
Question : The measure of each interior angle of a regular polygon with 8 sides is:
Option 1: $135^{\circ}$
Option 2: $120^{\circ}$
Option 3: $100^{\circ}$
Option 4: $45^{\circ}$
Correct Answer: $135^{\circ}$
Solution : Number of sides, $n$ = 8 Each interior angle of an octagon = $(\frac{2n-4}{n})×90^{\circ}$ = $(\frac{2×8-4}{8})×90^{\circ}$ = $(\frac{16-4}{8})×90^{\circ}$ = $\frac{12}{8}×90^{\circ}$ = $3 × 45^{\circ}$ = $135^{\circ}$ Hence, the correct answer is $135^{\circ}$.
