Question 1. Pythagoras' theorem holds good for right angled triangles.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    60∘
  4.    120∘
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
In a right angled triangle, square of the hypotenuse (the side opposite to the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. This is Pythagoras' theorem.​
Question 2. The square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. This relation holds for all types of triangles.
  1.    True
  2.    False
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
The square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. This relation holds only in right-angled triangles.
Question 3. Two angles of a triangle are 50​ and 70​. The third angle is:
  1.    50∘
  2.    70∘
  3.    60∘
  4.    120∘
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 60∘
:
C
The sum of all the angles of a triangle is 180​.
Therefore,
Third angle=180(50+70)=180(120)=60
Question 4. If we draw a median AD in ABC, are the altitudes of ADB and ADC equal in length? Justify.  [2 MARKS]

Answer: 1 Mark
Justification: 1 Mark
Yes.

If We Draw A Median AD In ∆ABC, Are The Altitudes Of ∆AD...
The median AD will divide the ABC into 2 triangles ADB and ADC. These two triangles, as shown in the figure will have the same altitude AN as the altitude is the perpendicular distance from the vertex to the base of the triangle.The foot of the perpendicular can be inside as well as outside the triangle as shown in the figure. (Note: The median of the triangle divides it into 2 triangles with equal area.)
Question 5. In the given pentagon ABCDE, prove that 2CD < Perimeter (ABCDE). [4 MARKS]
In The Given Pentagon ABCDE, Prove That 2CD < Perimeter (...

Properties : 1 Mark
Steps : 2 Marks
Result : 1 Mark
In The Given Pentagon ABCDE, Prove That 2CD < Perimeter (...
In triangle ABC, AC < AB + BC ------------------- 1
In triangle ADE, AD < AE + DE ------------------- 2
Adding 1 and 2,
AC + AD < AB + BC + AE + DE ----------------3
In triangle ADC, CD < AD + AC ------------------- 4
From 3 and 4, we can write
CD < AB + BC + AE + DE
Adding CD to both sides,
2CD < AB + BC + CD + DE + EA
Or, 2 CD < Perimeter of ABCDE
Question 6. (a) Find all the angles of a right-angled isosceles triangle. 
(b) Is a triangle ABC with side length AB = 12 cm, BC = 8 cm and AC = 20 cm possible? Explain why. [3 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
(a) Answer: 1 Mark
(b) Answer: 1 Mark
Reason: 1 Mark
(a) In a right-angled isosceles triangle, sides other than the hypotenuse are equal in length.
In ABC, AB = BC 1=3 -------------------I
By angle sum property of triangle,
1+2+3=180
1+90+1=180
21=90
1=45=2
So, angles are 45,45and90
(b)A triangle ABC with the given side lengths of AB = 12 cm, BC = 8 cm andAC = 20 cm is not possible becausein a trianglethe sum of any two sides should be greater than the third side but in this triangle, AB + BC = 20 cm which is equal to the third side AC = 20 cm. AB + BC should have been greater than AC.
Question 7. (a) Derive the angle sum property of the triangle using the exterior angle property.  
(b) AE is the angular bisector. 4=140,2=60,EAC=x.  Find x.

(b) Steps: 1 Mark
Result: 1 Mark
(a)
(a) Derive The Angle Sum Property Of The Triangle Using The ...
1, 2 and 3 are angles of triangle ABCand 4 is the exterior angle when BC is extended to D.
1 + 2 = 4 (Exterior Angle Property)
1 + 2 + 3 = 4 + 3 (Adding 3 to both sides)
Also, 3 + 4 = 180o (Linear Pair of angles)
1 + 2 + 3 = 180o
(b)
(a) Derive The Angle Sum Property Of The Triangle Using The ...
1 + 2 = 4 (Exterior Angle Property)
1+60=140
1=14060=80
Since AE is the angular bisector therefore EAC=12
x=802=40
Question 8. A __ connects a vertex of a triangle to the mid-point of the opposite side.
 Discuss Question

:
A median is line joining a vertex of a triangle to the mid-point of the opposite side.
Question 9. The sum of all the exterior angles of a triangle is ___  (in degrees)​.
 Discuss Question

:
Let the exterior angles of the triangle be x, y and z respectively.
Then by exterior angle property,interior angles of the triangle will be (180x)​, (180y)​​, (180z)​​

Using angle sum property of a triangle,
(180- x) + (180- y) + (180- z) = 180
540-(x + y + z) =180
Therefore, x + y + z = 360
Question 10. Find all the angles of the following triangle. [3 MARKS]
Find All The Angles Of The Following Triangle. [3 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
Each angle: 1 Mark
The three angles in the given triangle are x, 2x and 3x.
For any triangle,
Sum of all the angles = 180o
Or, x + 2x + 3x = 180o
Or, 6x = 180o
Or x = 180o6 = 30o
The angles of the triangle will be 30o(x), 60o(2x) and 90o(3x).
