Question : In $\triangle ABC$, AB = BC = $k$, AC =$\sqrt2k$, then $\triangle ABC$ is a:

Option 1: Isosceles triangle

Option 2: Right-angled triangle

Option 3: Equilateral triangle

Option 4: Right isosceles triangle

Team Careers360 14th Jan, 2024

⇒ BC2 = $k^2$
⇒ AC2 = $2k^2$
$\therefore$ AB2 + BC2 = AC2 and AB = BC
By Pythagoras theorem, $\triangle$ ABC is

Question : AD is the median of $\triangle \mathrm{ABC}$. G is the centroid of $\triangle \mathrm{ABC}$. If AG = 14 cm, then what is the length of AD?

Option 1: 42 cm

Option 2: 28 cm

Option 3: 35 cm

Option 4: 21 cm

Team Careers360 14th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 21 cm


Solution :
AD is the median of triangle ABC.
G is the centroid of triangle ABC.
If AG = 14 cm
So, $\frac{AG}{GD}=\frac{2}{1}$
⇒ $\frac{14}{GD} = \frac{2}{1}$
⇒ $GD =7$ cm
$\therefore$ AD = AG + GD = 14 + 7 = 21 cm
Hence, the

Question : If $\cos(A+B)=0$ and $\sin(A-B)=0$, then what is the value of $\angle A$ and $\angle B$ ? ( $0^\circ < A, B \leq 90 ^\circ$)

Option 1: $20^\circ, 70^\circ$

Option 2: $45^\circ, 45^\circ$

Option 3: $60^\circ, 30^\circ$

Option 4: $15^\circ, 75^\circ$

Team Careers360 12th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $45^\circ, 45^\circ$


Solution : Given: $\cos(A+B)=0$ and $\sin(A-B)=0$
The equation $\cos(A+B)=\cos 90^\circ$
$A+B=90^\circ$............(equation 1)
The equation $\sin(A-B)=\sin 0^\circ$
$A-B=0^\circ$............(equation 2)
Solving these two equations, we get:
$\angle A = \angle B = 45^\circ$
Hence, the correct answer is $45^\circ, 45^\circ$.
