Answer
(i) In △ABC,
⇒ ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
⇒ 60° + 65° + ∠C = 180°
⇒ ∠C = 180° - 125° = 55°.
In △BEC,
⇒ ∠B + ∠E + ∠C = 180°
⇒ 65° + 90° + ∠C = 180°
⇒ ∠C = 180° - 155° = 25°.
In △DFC,
⇒ ∠D + ∠C + ∠F = 180°
⇒ 90° + 25° + ∠F = 180°
⇒ ∠F = 180° - 115° = 65°.
From figure,
∠AFE = ∠DFC = 65° (Vertically opposite angles are equal.)
An exterior angle is equal to the sum of two opposite interior angles.
⇒ ∠AFE = ∠FAC + ∠FCA
⇒ 65° = ∠FAC + 30°
⇒ ∠FAC = 65° - 30° = 35°.
In △AFC,
∠FAC = 35°
∠FCA = 30°
∴ ∠FAC > ∠FCA
∴ CF > AF (As side opposite to greater angle is greater.)
Hence, proved that CF > AF.
(ii) In △DFC,
∠DFC = 65°
∠DCF = 25°
∴ ∠DFC > ∠DCF
∴ DC > DF (As side opposite to greater angle is greater.)
Hence, proved that DC > DF.
