Miscellaneous and Practice Problems

Question 1.
Identify the centroid of ΔPQR.

Question 5.
If I is the incentre of ΔXYZ, ∠IYZ = 30° and ∠IZY = 40°, find ∠YXZ.

Solution:
Since I is the incentre of ΔXYZ
∠IYZ = 30° ⇒ ∠IYX = 30°
∠IZY = 40° ⇒ ∠IZX = 40°
∴ ∠XYZ = ∠XYI + ∠IYZ = 30° + 30°
∠XYZ = 60°
lll ly ∠XYZ = ∠XZI + ∠IZY = 40° + 40°
∠XYZ = 80°
By angle sum property of a triangle
∠XZY + ∠XYZ + ∠YXZ = 180°
80° + 60° + ∠YXZ = 180°
140° + ∠YXZ = 180°
∠YXZ = 180° – 140°
∠YXZ = 40°

(i) If DE = 44, then DM = ?
(ii) If PD = 12, then PN = ?
(iii) If DO = 8, then FD = ?
(iv) If OE = 36, then EP = ?
