BASIC GEOMETRY MCQs
:
B
option (b)
a is false as if one side is 1, another side is a, then the third side < a+1. this is not possible as it needs to be an integer value and since it’s a scalene triangle, the third side cannot be 1+a
b is true
c is false as there is a possibility of 120∘, 30∘ , 30∘
:
D
Answer- (d) None of these
Solution:- Calculate the altitude of the equilateral triangle. Then according to the conditions given,
Diameter of the circle circumscribing the equilateral triangle= Altitude of the equilateral triangle + Diameter of the smaller cirlce.
Solve the above equation for the required answer.
Alternate Soln: The triangle’s dimension is used to calculate the radii of the outermost and the second circle.
Radius of the bigger circle: R=(1.5)cos30; =√3 units.
Radius of smaller circle:
r = 1.5 tan 30. = 32√3 r= √32.
Radius of smallest circle:
((radius of biggest) − (radius of 2nd))2;
= √34
Hence ans: d (none of these)
