Exercise
Question 1.

The sides of a triangle have lengths (in cm) 10, 6.5 and a, where a is a whole number. The minimum value that a can take is
A. 6

B. 5

C. 3

D. 4


Answer:

Given: Length of sides of triangle = 10,6.5,a


Formula Used/Theory:-


Sum of 2 sides of triangles is always greater than 3rd side of triangle


6.5 + a>10


a>10 - 6.5


a>3.5


‘a’ must be greater than 3.5


∴ the minimum value above 3.5 can be taken from option is 4


Question 2.

Triangle DEF of Fig. 6.6 is a right triangle with ∠E = 90°.



What type of angles are ∠D and ∠F?
A. They are equal angles

B. They form a pair of adjacent angles

C. They are complementary angles

D. They are supplementary angles


Answer:

Given: Δ DEF is a right triangle with ∠E = 90°


Formula Used/Theory:-


Sum of all angles of triangle is 180°


In Δ DEF


∠D + ∠E + ∠F = 180°


∠D + 90° + ∠F = 180°


∠D + ∠F = 180° - 90°


∠D + ∠F = 90°


∴ Angle D and F are complimentary angles


As their sum is 90°


Question 3.

In Fig. 6.7, PQ = PS. The value of x is


A. 35°

B. 45°

C. 55°

D. 70°


Answer:

Given: In ΔPQS


PQ = PS, Exterior angle with Q is 110°


In ΔPSR


∠PRS = 25°, ∠RPS = x


Formula Used/Theory:-


Exterior angle of triangle is equal to sum of 2 opposite interior angles .


As RQ is straight line


∠PQS + 110° = 180°


∠PQS = 180° - 110°


∠PQS = 70°


As ΔPQS is isosceles triangle and PQ = PS


∴ ∠PQS = ∠PSQ


⇒ ∠PSQ = 70°


In ΔPSR


With exterior angle ∠PSQ equal to sum of opposite interior angles


∠PSQ = ∠SPR + ∠PRS


70° = x + 25°


x = 70° - 25°


x = 45°


Question 4.

In a right-angled triangle, the angles other than the right angle are
A. obtuse

B. right

C. acute

D. straight


Answer:

In right angled triangle


One angle is 90° and sum of other 2 angles is 90°


Then;


Both angles must be smaller than 90°


∴ Both angles must be acute


Question 5.

In an isosceles triangle, one angle is 70°. The other two angles are of

(i) 55° and 55°

(ii) 70° and 40°

(iii) any measure

In the given option(s) which of the above statement(s) are true?
A. (i) only

B. (ii) only

C. (iii) only

D. (i) and (ii)


Answer:

Given: An isosceles triangle with one angle is 70°


Formula Used/Theory:-


In an isosceles triangle 2 angles are equal corresponding with 2 equal sides


⇒ If 70° is 3rd angle of triangle


Then;


70° + x + x = 180°


2x = 180° - 70°


x =


x = 55°


Both angles are 55°


⇒ If 70° is Base angle of isosceles triangle


Then;


70° + 70° + x = 180°


x = 180° - 140°


x = 40°


one angle is 40° and another is 70°


∴ the angles can be either 55°, 55° or 70°, 40°


Question 6.

In a triangle, one angle is of 90°. Then

(i) The other two angles are of 45° each

(ii) In remaining two angles, one angle is 90° and other is 45°

(iii) Remaining two angles are complementary

In the given option(s) which is true?
A. (i) only

B. (ii) only

C. (iii) only

D. (i) and (ii)


Answer:

Given: In triangle one angle is 90°


Formula Used/Theory:-


Sum of angles of triangle is 180°


⇒ Moving to 1st option


The other two angles are of 45° each


This can be happen only if triangle is isosceles right angle Δ


∴ this can be but not necessary every time


⇒ Moving to 2nd option


In remaining two angles, one angle is 90° and other is 45°


This cannot be possible because angle sum of triangle is beyond 180° which is not possible


⇒ Moving to 3rd option


Remaining two angles are complementary


As one angle is 90° and sum of angles of triangle is 180°


∴ the sum of both angle is always 90°


∴ only 3rd statement is correct.


Question 7.

Lengths of sides of a triangle are 3 cm, 4 cm and 5 cm. The triangle is
A. Obtuse angled triangle

B. Acute-angled triangle

C. Right-angled triangle

D. An Isosceles right triangle


Answer:

Given: Lengths of sides of a triangle are 3 cm, 4 cm and 5 cm


Formula Used/Theory:-


Pythagoras theorem:-


Base2 + Height2 = Hypotenuse2


As Lengths of sides of a triangle are 3 cm, 4 cm and 5 cm


Squaring all sides


9,16,25


⇒ 9 + 16 = 25


Which is equal to square of 3rd side


∴ Pythagoras theorem get proved


Hence;


It is a right angled triangle


Question 8.

In Fig. 6.8, PB = PD. The value of x is


A. 85°

B. 90°

C. 25°

D. 35°


Answer:

Exterior angle of triangle is equal to sum of 2 opposite onterior angles.


As BC is straight line


∠PBD + 120° = 180°


∠PBD = 180° - 120°


∠PBD = 60°


As ΔPBD is isosceles triangle and PB = PD


∴ ∠PBD = ∠PDB


⇒ ∠PDB = 60°


In ΔPSR


With exterior angle ∠PSQ equal to sum of opposite inetrior angles


∠PDB = ∠DPC + ∠PCD


60° = x + 35°


x = 60° - 35°


x = 25°


Question 9.

In ∆PQR,
A. PQ – QR > PR

B. PQ + QR < PR

C. PQ – QR< PR

D. PQ + PR< QR


Answer:

Difference of 2 sides of triangle is always smaller than the 3rd side of triangle


And


Sum of 2 sides of triangle is always greater than 3rd side of triangle


Question 10.

In ∆ABC,
A. AB + BC > AC

B. AB + BC < AC

C. AB + AC < BC

D. AC + BC < AB


Answer:

Difference of 2 sides of triangle is always smaller than the 3rd side of triangle


And


Sum of 2 sides of triangle is always greater than 3rd side of triangle


Question 11.

The top of a broken tree touches the ground at a distance of 12 m from its base. If the tree is broken at a height of 5 m from the ground then the actual height of the tree is
A. 25 m

B. 13 m

C. 18 m

D. 17 m


Answer:

Given: Height of broken tree = 5m


Base distance of tree touch the ground = 12cm


Formula Used/Theory:-


Pythagoras theorem:-


Base2 + Height2 = Hypotenuse2


Length of broken tree is :-


Base2 + Height2 = Hypotenuse2


122 + 52 = Hypotenuse2


144 + 25 = Hypotenuse2


169 = Hypotenuse2


Height of broken tree = √ 169 = 13m


Height of tree = length of broken tree + 5m


= 13m + 5m = 18m


Question 12.

The triangle ABC formed by AB = 5 cm, BC = 8 cm, AC = 4 cm is
A. an isosceles triangle only

B. a scalene triangle only

C. an isosceles right triangle

D. scalene as well as a right triangle


Answer:

As none of side is equal


∴ it cannot be isosceles triangle


Square of all sides are


16,25,64


16 + 25 = 41≠64(square of 3rd side)


∴ it cannot be right angle triangle


Hence;


It is a scalene triangle


Question 13.

Two trees 7 m and 4 m high stand upright on a ground. If their bases (roots) are 4 m apart, then the distance between their tops is
A. 3 m

B. 5 m

C. 4 m

D. 11 m


Answer:

Given: Two trees 7 m and 4 m high;bases (roots) are 4 m apart


Formula Used/Theory:-


Pythagoras theorem:-


Base2 + Height2 = Hypotenuse2


Difference in height of both trees is 7m – 4m = 3m


∴ difference in height is 3m


And distance between their roots is 4m


⇒ it makes a right angled triangle


With height 3m


Base 4m


Hypotenuse = distance between their tops


Base2 + Height2 = Hypotenuse2


42 + 32 = Hypotenuse2


Hypotenuse2 = 16 + 9 = 25


Hypotenuse = √25 = 5m


Distance between tops of trees is 5m


Question 14.

If in an isosceles triangle, each of the base angles is 40°, then the triangle is
A. Right-angled triangle

B. Acute angled triangle

C. Obtuse angled triangle

D. Isosceles right-angled triangle


Answer:

If 2 angles are 40°


Then;


Sum of all angles is 180°


40° + 40° + x = 180°


x = 100°


Hence;


If one angle is obtuse then it will form obtuse angled triangle


Question 15.

If two angles of a triangle are 60° each, then the triangle is
A. Isosceles but not equilateral

B. Scalene

C. Equilateral

D. Right-angled


Answer:

If 2 angles of triangle is 60°


Then;


60° + 60° + x = 180°


120° + x = 180°


x = 180° - 120°


x = 60°


∴ All angles are equal to 60°


Hence it is a equilateral triangle


Question 16.

C. 120°

D. 50°


Answer:

In ∆PQR


if PQ = QR


Then PQR is a isosceles triangle


Having, ∠P = ∠R


∠Q = 100°


As sum of all angles of triangle is 180°


Then;


∠P + ∠R + ∠Q = 180°


∠R + ∠R + 100° = 180°


2∠R = 80°


∠R = = 40°

B. 40°

C. 50°

D. 45°


Answer:

Given: PQ = PR, RS = RQ and ST || QR. If the exterior angle RPU is 140°


Formula Used/Theory:-


Base angle are equal is isosceles triangle


Alternate angles are equal if lines are parallel


Exterior angle is equal to sum opposite interior angles


In ΔPQR


∠UPR is exterior angle


∴ ∠UPR = ∠Q + ∠R


As ΔQPR is isosceles triangle because PQ = PR


Hence;


∠Q = ∠R


140° = ∠Q + ∠R


2∠Q = 140°


∠Q = = 70°


As ΔQRS is isosceles triangle because QR = RS


∴ ∠Q = ∠QSR


∠QSR = 70°


Then;


∠Q + ∠QSR + ∠SRQ = 180°


70° + 70° + ∠SRQ = 180°


∠SRQ = 180° - 140° = 40°


As ST || QR


And SR is transverse


∠SRQ = ∠TSR ∵ Alternate interior angles.


∴ ∠TSR = 40°

D. 60°


Answer:

Given: ∠BAC = 90°, AD ⊥ BC and ∠BAD = 50°


Formula Used/Theory:-


Sum of all angles of triangle is 180°


As ∠BAC = ∠BAD + ∠CAD


90° = 50° + ∠CAD


∠CAD = 90° - 50° = 40°


In Δ ADC


∠ADC = 90° ∵ AD is perpendicular to BC


∠ADC + ∠CAD + ∠ACD = 180°


90° + 40° + ∠ACD = 180°


130° + ∠ACD = 180°


∠ACD = 180° - 130° = 50°

A. 70°

B. 110°

C. 35°

D. 145°


Answer:

As by the angle sum property


Sum of all angles is 180°


∴ if one angle of triangle is 110°


Then sum of other 2 angles is 180° -110° = 70°


If the bisector of both angles are made…


Then both angled get halved


If both angled get halved then their sum will also get halved


= 35°


∴ it forms a new triangle if the bisectors are joined


Though sum of bisected angles will be half of sum of angle of triangle


∴ the 3rd angle will be


180° - 35°


= 145°


Question 28.

→ Exterior angle is equal to sum of interior opposite angles


In Δ ABC


By angle sum property


∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°


90° + 60° + z = 180°


z = 180° - 150°


z = 30°


By exterior angle property


∠y = 60° + 60° = 120°


By exterior angle property


∠x = 30° + z


∠x = 30° + 30° = 60°

(ii) ∠EOF.


Answer:

Given: ∠D = 60°, ∠E = 70°


Formula Used/Theory:-


→ Angle sum property


Sum of all angles of triangle is 180°


In Δ DEF


∠D + ∠E + ∠F = 180°


60° + 70° + ∠F = 180°


∠F = 180° - 130° = 50°

Bisector of ∠F will be 25°


Joining the bisector of ∠E and ∠F at O will make a Δ EOF


Where ∠OEF = 35°


And ∠OFE = 25°


By angle sum property


∠OEF + ∠OFE + ∠EOF = 180°


∠EOF + 35° + 25° = 180°


∠EOF = 180° - 60° = 120°


Result:- ∠EOF = 120°


∠F = 50°
