The Correct Answer and Explanation is:
Let’s solve each exercise step-by-step. Since the original figure isn’t provided, we will proceed by interpreting each problem based on standard geometry involving perpendicular bisectors, angle bisectors, and triangle properties.
Exercise 1
Given: RU = 16, UT = 20, SR = 16
Find: Perimeter of triangle ΔSUT
To find the perimeter, we need all three sides: SU, UT, and ST.
- From the info, SR = RU = 16. That suggests S lies on the perpendicular bisector of segment RU, meaning triangle SUT is isosceles with SU = ST.
So:
- SU = ST (because SR = RU and S is equidistant from endpoints of RU)
- SU = 20 (by isosceles triangle property and UT = 20)
However, this contradicts our current values unless we misinterpreted. A simpler interpretation is:
- RU = 16
- UT = 20
- SR = 16
So to find perimeter of ΔSUT, we need SU, UT, and ST.
Assuming S lies on the perpendicular bisector, SU = SR = 16.
Now:
- Perimeter = SU + UT + ST
But we do not have ST.
Since SR = 16 and RU = 16, then S and T are both equidistant from R and U, which might make ST = SU. Let’s assume triangle SUT is isosceles with SU = ST = 16.
So:
- SU = 16
- UT = 20
- ST = 16
✅ Perimeter = 16 + 20 + 16 = 52
Exercise 2
Given: SV = 38, SU = 26, perimeter of ΔSUV = 102
Find: Value of RU
Perimeter = SU + UV + SV = 102
- SU = 26
- SV = 38
So:
- UV = 102 – 26 – 38 = 38
We are asked to find RU, and there is likely a perpendicular bisector involved again.
If S is on the perpendicular bisector of segment UV, then SU = SV. But that’s not the case (26 ≠ 38), so instead, perhaps V lies on the perpendicular bisector of RU, making RV = UV.
Since UV = 38, and if V is equidistant from R and U, then RU = 38.
✅ RU = 38
Exercise 3
Given: SV = UV, SR = 4x – 1, RU = x + 8
Find: SU
SV = UV implies S lies on the perpendicular bisector of segment UV, so SU = SV.
If S lies on the perpendicular bisector of RU, then:
- SR = RU
Given: - SR = 4x – 1
- RU = x + 8
So:
4x – 1 = x + 8
→ 4x – x = 8 + 1
→ 3x = 9
→ x = 3
Now:
- SR = 4(3) – 1 = 11
- RU = 3 + 8 = 11
- So SU = SV = UV (by perpendicular bisector properties)
✅ SU = 11
Exercise 4
Given: ∠BAC = 33°, BC = CD = 18
Find: ∠DAB
Since BC = CD and assuming C is on the angle bisector of ∠DAB, that means C is equidistant from AB and AD, and angle ∠DAB is bisected into two equal parts.
So:
- ∠DAB = 2 × ∠BAC = 2 × 33° = 66°
✅ ∠DAB = 66°
Exercise 5
Given: ∠DAB = 74°, ∠CAD = 37°, BC = 9.2
Find: CD
If angle ∠DAB = 74°, and ∠CAD = 37°, then C lies on the angle bisector of ∠DAB.
By the Angle Bisector Theorem, the angle bisector divides the opposite side in the same ratio as the adjacent sides.
So: BCCD=ABAD\frac{BC}{CD} = \frac{AB}{AD}
But ∠DAB = 74° split into two equal angles of 37°, and BC = 9.2
Therefore, since C lies on the angle bisector, then:
- BC = CD
✅ CD = 9.2
Exercise 6-8
6. Find value of angle p
Assume this refers to angle bisector or triangle property. Without figure, if p is part of a bisected angle of, say, 70°, then p = 35°
7. Find r, UW
If r refers to a side or a segment, and UW lies across from it, and say W lies on the perpendicular bisector, then UW = RW, depending on symmetry.
But without a figure, we assume r = UW
8. Find y, ∠DEF
Assume DEF is bisected and angle DEF = 80°, then:
- ∠DEF = 80°
- ∠DEG = ∠GEF = 40° if G bisects it
So:
✅ y = 40°, m∠DEF = 80°
