Question 31.


Which among the following angles cannot be constructed just by using a ruler and a compass?


  1.     30 degrees
  2.     60 degrees
  3.     70 degrees
  4.     90 degrees
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 70 degrees
:
C

All the standard angles and the angles which can be obtained by bisecting standard angles can be constructed just by using a ruler and compass. Here except 70 all other angles can be constructed using ruler and compass.


Question 32.


For constructing a right angle without a protractor, which of the following method/s is/are used?


  1.     Angle Bisector
  2.     60 angle construction
  3.     Median
  4.     Construction of triangle
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Angle Bisector
:
A and B

To construct a right angle triangle, the following steps should be followed:
1. Draw a line OB of given length.
2. With O as centre, make an arc of any radius intersecting OB at X.
3. With X as a centre, draw another arc keeping the radius same intersecting the previous arc at D.
4. DOB will be 60.
5. With D as a centre and keeping the radius same, draw another arc intersecting the first arc at C.
6. COB will be 120 .
7. Bisect COD drawing two equal arcs from each points intersecting at E.
8. Join EO and extend till A. AOB will be 90.
For Constructing A Right Angle Without A Protractor, Which O...So, it can be seen that both 60 and angle bisector construction is used in the process. 


Question 33.


For constructing a triangle with a given base, a base angle and difference between the other two sides, a ___ bisector is required.


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Angle Bisector
:

The procedure for Triangle Construction 2 is:
1. Draw the base BC of ∆ABC as given and construct ∠XBC of the required measure at B as shown.
For Constructing A Triangle With A Given base, A Base Angle...


2. From the ray, BX cut an arc equal to AB – AC at point P and join it to C as shown


3. Draw the perpendicular bisector of PC and let it intersect BX at point A as shown:


For Constructing A Triangle With A Given base, A Base Angle...
4. Join AC, ∆ABC is the required triangle.
For Constructing A Triangle With A Given base, A Base Angle...
Hence, it is clear that a perpendicular bisector is required in the process.


Question 34.


The construction of ΔABC, given that BC = 12 cm, is possible when the difference of AB and AC equals


  1.     12.5 cm
  2.     8 cm
  3.     10 cm
  4.     14 cm
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 8 cm
:
B and C

The difference between two sides of a triangle should be smaller than the third side. So only 8 cm and 10 cm can be the possible difference.


Question 35.


Two sides of a triangle have lengths of 5 units and 6 units respectively. Which of the following is a possible length for the third side?


  1.     11
  2.     12
  3.     13
  4.     10
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 10
:
D

In a triangle, the sum of the lengths of any 2 sides of a triangle must be greater than the third side. The third side can measure anything less than 11 units. Hence, the third side can be 10 units.


Question 36.


A triangle ABC has base angle 45. It's perimeter is  [2+2]. What type of triangle is it?


  1.     Isosceles triangle
  2.     Right triangle
  3.     Can't be determined
  4.     Scalene triangle
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Can't be determined
:
C

The information given above is insufficient to construct a triangle. So, the triangle cannot be constructed and its characteristics can’t be determined.


Question 37.


A 75 angle can be made by drawing angle bisector between a 90 angle arm and a ___ angle arm.


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Can't be determined
:

75=90+602
Hence bisecting 90 and 60 will give 75.


Question 38.


In the figure shown below, ABD = DBC, then  the ray BD is called


In The Figure Shown Below, ∠ABD = ∠DBC, Then  The Ray B...


  1.     Angle bisector
  2.     Perpendicular bisector
  3.     Median
  4.     Altitude
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Angle bisector
:
A

An angle bisector divides a given angle into two equal angles. Since BD divides ABC into two equal angles, it is an angle bisector.


Question 39.


Given an angle of 60, it is possible to get 30.


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     Draw perpendicular bisector of AD
  4.     Draw angle bisector of   A
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A

It is possible to get 30 from given angle of 60 by simply drawing an angle bisector. Hence the given statement is true.


Question 40.


We can draw a triangle if we know its perimeter and one base angle.


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     Not always
  4.     Cannot be predicted
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
To draw a triangle, we must know its perimeter along with two base angles. Hence the given statement is false.
