Kerala Syllabus 9th Standard Maths Chapter 4 Question 3.
We have seen in Class 8 that any odd number can be written as the difference of two perfect squares. (The lesson, Identities). Using this, draw squares of areas 7 and 11 square centimetres.
Answer:
3² – 2² = 5

Kerala Syllabus 9th Standard Maths Notes Chapter 4 Question 1.
The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 1\(\frac {1}{2}\) m and another side is \(\frac {1}{2}\) m. Calculate its perimeter correct to a centimetre.
Answer:
Square of the third side is =
\((1\frac {1}{2})^{2} – (\frac {1}{2})^{2} = (1\frac {1}{2} + \frac {1}{2}) (1\frac {1}{2} – \frac {1}{2}) \) = 2 × 1 = 2
∴ Third side is \(\sqrt 2\)
Perimeter = 1\(\frac {1}{2}\) + \(\frac {1}{2}\) + \(\sqrt 2\) = 2 + \(\sqrt 2\)
= 2 + 1.41 = 3.412 m = 341.2 cm

(i) What are the lengths of the sides of the tenth triangle drawn like this?
(ii) How much more is the perimeter of the tenth triangle than the perimeter of the ninth triangle?
(iii) How do we write in algebra, the difference in perimeter of the n‘h triangle and that of the triangle just before it?
Answer:
i. Sides of the first triangle = 1 m, 1 m, \(\sqrt 2\) m
Sides of the second triangle = 1 m, \(\sqrt 2\) m, \(\sqrt 3\) m
Sides of the third triangle = 1 m, \(\sqrt 3\) m, \(\sqrt 4\) m
…………………………
…………………………
Sides of the tenth triangle = 1 m, \(\sqrt 10\) m, \(\sqrt 11\) m
Hypotenuse of the 10th triangle is \(\sqrt 11\)
Perpendicular sides are \(\sqrt 10\), 1

(ii) Perimeter of tenth triangle
= 1 m + \(\sqrt 10\) m + \(\sqrt 11\) m
Perimeter of ninth triangle = 1 m + \(\sqrt 9\) m + \(\sqrt 10\) m
More in the perimeter
= (\(\sqrt 10\) + \(\sqrt 11\) + 1) – (\(\sqrt 9\) + \(\sqrt 10\) + 1)
= \(\sqrt 11\) – \(\sqrt 9\) = (\(\sqrt 11\) – 3)m

iii. Sides of the nth triangle are
\(\sqrt n\), \(\sqrt n + 1\), 1
The sides of the (n – 1)th triangle are
\(\sqrt n – 1\), \(\sqrt n\), 1

What is the hypotenuse of the right triangle with perpendicular sides \(\sqrt 2\) centimetres and \(\sqrt 3\) centimetres? How much larger than the hypotenuse is the sum of the perpendicular sides?
Answer:
Hypotenuse = \(\sqrt {\sqrt 3^{2}} + {\sqrt 2^{2}}\)
= \(\sqrt 3 + 2\) = \(\sqrt 5\) cm
Sum of perpendicular sides = \(\sqrt 3\) + \(\sqrt 2\) Difference with the hypotenuse
= (\(\sqrt 3\) + \(\sqrt 2\)) – \(\sqrt 5\)
= (1.73 + 1.41) – 2.24 = 3.14 – 2.24 cm = 0.9

If a side of the square is 2 cm, what are the perimeter and area of the trapezium?
Kerala Syllabus 9th Standard Maths Solutions Chapter 4 New Numbers 21
Answer:
Kerala Syllabus 9th Standard Maths Solutions Chapter 4 New Numbers 22
Perimeter = 2 + 2\(\sqrt 3\) + 2 + 2\(\sqrt 2\) + 2\(\sqrt 3\) + 2\(\sqrt 2\)
= 4 + 4\(\sqrt 3\) + 4\(\sqrt 2\) = 4(1 + \(\sqrt 3\) + \(\sqrt 2\))
Area = 2² + \(\frac {1}{2}\) × 4 × 2\(\sqrt 3\) = 4 + 4\(\sqrt 3\)
= 4(1 + \(\sqrt 3\)) = 4(1 + 1.73)
= 4 × 2.73 = 10.92 cm

9th Standard Maths Notes Kerala Syllabus Chapter 4 Question 1.
Calculate the length of the sides of the equilateral triangle on the right, correct to a millimetre.
Kerala Syllabus 9th Standard Maths Solutions Chapter 4 New Numbers 25
Answer:
Kerala Syllabus 9th Standard Maths Solutions Chapter 4 New Numbers 26
Let one side = 2x
\(\sqrt (2x)^{2} – x^{2}\) = 4
\(\sqrt 4x^{2} – x^{2}\) = 4;
\(\sqrt 3x^{2}\) = 4; \(\sqrt 3\) x = 4; x = \(\frac {4}{\sqrt 3}\) = 4;
x = \(\frac{4 \sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3} \times \sqrt{3}} =\frac{4}{3} \sqrt{3} =\frac{4}{3} \times 1.73 = 2.309\)cm
= 2.31 cm
Length of sides = 2 × \(\frac {4}{\sqrt 3}\) = 2 × 2.309
= 4.62 cm = 46.2 cm

Question 2.
Prove that (\((\sqrt 2 + 1)(\sqrt 2 – 1 )\)) = 1. Use this to compute \(\frac {1}{\sqrt {2} – 1}\) correct to two decimal places.
Answer:
\((\sqrt{2} + 1)(\sqrt{2} – 1) = (\sqrt{2})^{2} – 1^{2}=2 – 1 = 1\)
\((\sqrt 2 + 1)(\sqrt 2 – 1 )\) = 1
\(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} – 1} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} – 1} \times \frac{\sqrt{2} + 1}{\sqrt{2} + 1} = \frac{\sqrt{2} + 1}{1} = \sqrt{2} + 1\)
\(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} – 1} = \sqrt {2} + 1 \) = 1.41 + 1 = 2.41

Question 3.
Compute \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} + 1} \) corrects to two decimal places.
Answer:
\(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} + 1} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} + 1} \times \frac{\sqrt{2} – 1}{\sqrt{2} – 1} = \frac{\sqrt{2} – 1}{1}\)
= \(\sqrt {2} \) – 1 = 1.41 – 1 = 0.41

Question 4.
Simplify (\(\sqrt 3 – \sqrt 2 \))(\(\sqrt 3 + \sqrt 2 \)). Use this to compute \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3} – \sqrt {2}}\) and \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3} + \sqrt {2}}\) correct to two decimal places.
Answer:
(a – b)(a+b) = a² – b²
\((\sqrt{3} – \sqrt{2})(\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{2}) = (\sqrt{3})^{2} – (\sqrt{2})^{2}\)
= 3 – 2 = 1
\(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3} – \sqrt{2}} = \frac{(\sqrt{3} -\sqrt{2})(\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{2})}{(\sqrt{3} – \sqrt{2})} = \sqrt{3} + \sqrt{2}\)
≈ 1.732 + 1.414 = 3.146 = 3.15
\(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{2}} = \frac{(\sqrt{3} – \sqrt{2})(\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{2})}{(\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{2})}=\sqrt{3} – \sqrt{2}\)
≈ 1.732 – 1.414 = 0.318 = 0.32

Question 5.
Prove that \(\sqrt{2 \frac{2}{3}} = 2 \sqrt{\frac{2}{3}}\). Can you find other numbers like this?
Answer:
\(\sqrt{2 \frac{2}{3}} = \sqrt{\frac{8}{3}} = \sqrt{4 \times \frac{2}{3}} = 2 \sqrt{\frac{2}{3}}\)
\(\sqrt{3 \frac{3}{8}} = \sqrt{\frac{27}{8}} = \sqrt{9 \times \frac{3}{8}} = 3 \sqrt{\frac{3}{8}}\)
If \(\sqrt{x \frac{x}{n}} = x \sqrt{\frac{x}{n}}\) then
\(\sqrt{x + \frac{x}{n}} = \sqrt{x^{2} \frac{x}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{x^{3}}{n}}\)
\(x + \frac{x}{n} = \frac{x^{3}}{n}\)
nx + x = x³
n + 1 = x²
n = x² – 1
similar numbers are
\(4 \frac{4}{4^{2} – 1} = 4 \frac{4}{15}\)
\(5 \frac{5}{5^{2} – 1} = 5 \frac{5}{24}\)
\(\sqrt{4 \frac{4}{15}} = 4 \sqrt{\frac{4}{15}}\)
\(\sqrt{5 \frac{5}{15}} = 5 \sqrt{\frac{5}{15}}\) etc.

Question 6.
All red triangles in the picture are equilateral. What is the ratio of the sides of the outer and inner squares?
Kerala Syllabus 9th Standard Maths Solutions Chapter 4 New Numbers 27
Answer:
Let the sides of the shaded triangles are a units. The sides of the unshaded triangles are a, a, \(4 \frac{a}{2}\sqrt 3 \) units.
Kerala Syllabus 9th Standard Maths Solutions Chapter 4 New Numbers 28
Side of the outer square = \(\sqrt{3}\frac{a}{2} + {\sqrt 3 \frac{a}{2}} + a\)
\(\sqrt{3}a + a = a(\sqrt {3} + 1)\)
Side of the inner square =
\(\sqrt{3}a + a – a(a + a) = \sqrt{3}a + a – a – a\)
\(\sqrt{3}a = a (\sqrt {3} – 1)\)
Ratio of the sides = \( a(\sqrt{3} + 1):a(\sqrt{3} – 1)\)
\( \sqrt{3} + 1 : \sqrt{3} – 1\)

(e) \(4\sqrt{3} – 3\sqrt{4 \times 3} + 3\sqrt{25 \times 3}\)
= 4 \(\sqrt{3}  – 6\sqrt{3} + 15 \sqrt{3}\)
= \(13\sqrt 13\)

(f) \(\sqrt{81 \times 2} – \sqrt{36 \times 2} = 9\sqrt{2} – 6\sqrt{2} = 3\sqrt{2}\)

(g) \(4\sqrt{4 \times 3} – \sqrt{25 \times 2} – 5\sqrt{12 \times 4}\)
\( = 8\sqrt{3} – 5\sqrt{2} -20 \sqrt{2}\)
\( = -12\sqrt{3} – 5\sqrt{2}\)

(h) \(\sqrt{16 \times 5}+\sqrt{25 \times 5} = 4\sqrt{5} + 5 \sqrt{5} = 9\sqrt{5}\)

Question 14.
If \(\sqrt{75} + \sqrt{363} + x\sqrt{3} = 0\). Find the value of x.
Answer:
\(x \sqrt{3} = 0 – \sqrt{75} – \sqrt{363}\)
\(= – 1 \times(\sqrt{75} + \sqrt{363})\)
\(x = \frac{-1(5 \sqrt{3} + 11 \sqrt{3})}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{-1 \times 16 \sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}} = -16\)

Question 15.

Question 16.
Write two fractions between \(\frac{1}{3}\) and \( \frac {1}{4}\)
Answer:
Fraction one = \(\frac{\frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{4}}{2}=\frac{7}{24}\)
Another fraction =
\(\frac{\frac{1}{3} + \frac{7}{24}}{2} = \frac{8 + 7}{48} = \frac{15}{48}\)

Question 17.
In the figure given below, PQRS is a square of each side is 3 cm. Each sides of the square is divided into 3 equal parts. Joining these points to get an octagon, find its perimeter.
Kerala Syllabus 9th Standard Maths Solutions Chapter 4 New Numbers 35
Answer:
ΔAPH is a right angled triangle.
AP = PH = 1 cm
∴ AH = \(\sqrt{1^{2}+1^{2}} = \sqrt{2}\)
AH = GF = ED = CB = \(\sqrt{2}\)
Kerala Syllabus 9th Standard Maths Solutions Chapter 4 New Numbers 36

Perimeter of the octagon
= AB + BC + CD + DE + EF + FG + GH + HA
\(=1 + \sqrt{2} + 1 + \sqrt{2} + 1 + \sqrt{2} + 1 + \sqrt{2} = 4 + 4 \sqrt{2}\)
= 4 + 4 × 1.41 = 4 + 5.64 = 9.64cm.

Question 18.
If three points A, B,C. Such that AB = \(\sqrt{50}\)cm, BC = \(\sqrt{98}\)cm, AC = \(\sqrt{288}\)cm. Check whether the points A,B,C lie on a straight line?
Answer:
AB = \(\sqrt{50}\) = \(5\sqrt{2}\)cm
BC = \(\sqrt{98}\) = \(7\sqrt{2}\)cm
AC = \(\sqrt{288}\) = \(12\sqrt{2}\)cm
\(5\sqrt{2}\) + \(7\sqrt{2}\) = \(12\sqrt{2}\)
AB + BC = AC
The three points lie on a straight line.

Question 19.
Find the value of \(\sqrt{12} – \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\) correct to two decimal places.
Answer:
\(\sqrt{12} – \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{2 \sqrt{3}}{1} – \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{6}{\sqrt{3}} – \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{5}{\sqrt{3}}\)
= \(\frac {5}{1.73}\) = 2.89

Question 21.
A, B, C are three points such that AB = \(\sqrt {50}\) cm, BC = \(\sqrt {98}\) cm, AC =
\(\sqrt {288}\) cm. Do they lie on a straightline?
Answer:
If A, B, C are points on the same line then AB + BC = AC
Kerala Syllabus 9th Standard Maths Solutions Chapter 4 New Numbers 38
Here AB + BC = AC. So the three given points are on the same straight line.
