Class IX Math NCERT Solutions For Real Numbers Exercise– 1.2

Exercise– 1.2
1.  State whether the following statements are true or false. Justify your answers.
      (i)   Every irrational number is a real number.
      (ii)   Every point on the number line is of the form  where m is a natural number.
      (iii)   Every real number is an irrational number.
Ans. (i)   True statement, because all rational numbers and all irrational numbers form the group (collection) of real numbers.
       (ii)   False statement, because no negative number can be the square root of any natural number.
       (iii)   False statement, because rational numbers are also a part of real numbers.
2.  Are the square roots of all positive integers irrational? If not, give an example of the square root of a number that is a rational number:
Ans. No, if we take a positive integer, say 4 its square root is 2, which is a rational number.
           REMEMBER
           According to the Pythagoras theorem, in a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
           In the figure:
           OB2 = OA2 + AB2
           
                                                                             
3.  Show how  can be represented on the number line.
Ans. Let us take the horizontal line XOX’ as the x-axis. Mark O as its origin such that it represents 0.
           Cut off OA = 1 unit, AB = 1 unit.
           ⇒ OB = 2 units
           Draw a perpendicular 
           Cut off BC = 1 unit.
                                                                             
           Since OBC is a right triangle.
           OB2 + OC2 = OC2
           22 + 12 = OC2 4 + 1 = OC2
           OC2 = 5
           
           With O as centre and OC as radius, draw an arc intersecting OX at D.
           Since OC = OD

EXERCISE 10.5 (Page 184) Q1.   In the figure, A, B and C are three points on a circle with centre O such that ∠BOC = 30° and ∠AOS = 60°. If D is a point on the circle other than the arc ABC, find ∠ADC. Sol:  We have a circle with centre O, such that ∠AOB 60° and ∠BOC = 30°           ∵ ∠AOB + ∠BOC = ∠AOC           ∴ ∠AOC = 60° + 30° = 90°           Now, the arc ABC subtends ∠AOC = 90° at the centre and ∠ADC at a point D on the circle other than the arc ABC.            Q2.   A chord of a circle is equal to the radius of the circle. Find the angle subtended by the chord at a point on the minor arc and also at a point on the major arc. Sol:  We have a circle having a chord AB equal to radius of the circle.      ...

Exercise 12.2 (Page 206) . 1.    A park, in the shape of a quadrilateral ABCD, has �C = 90°, AB = 9 m, BC = 12 m, CD = 5 m and AD = 8 m. How much area does it occupy? Ans.  Let us join B and D, such that BCD is a right–angled triangle.        We have area of BCD                 Now, to find the area of ABD, we need the length of BD.        ∴ In right, BCD,        BD 2  = BC 2  = CD 2 [Pythagoras theorem]        ⇒ BD 2  = 12 2  + 5 2        ⇒ BD 2  = 144 + 25 = 169 = 13 2                 2.    Find the area of a quadrilateral ABCD in which AB = 3 cm, BC = 4 cm, CD = 4 cm, DA = 5 ...

EXERCISE 13.5 (Page 228) Q1.    A matchbox measures 4 cm × 2.5 cm. × 1.5 cm. What will be the volume of a packet containing 12 such boxes? Sol:  Measures of matchbox (cuboid) is 4 cm × 2.5 cm × 1.5 cm            ⇒ l = 4 cm, b = 2.5 cm and h = 1.5 cm            ∴ Volume of matchbox = (l × b) × h            = [4 cm × 2.5 cm] × 1.5 cm 3                        = 15 cm 3            ⇒ Volume of 12 boxes = 12 × 15 cm 3  = 180 cm 3 Q2.    A cuboidal water tank is 6 m long, 5 m wide and 4.5 m deep. How many litres of water can it hold?            (l m ...
