(a) Solution: 1 Mark
     Type of triangle: 1 Mark
(b) Solution: 1 Mark
     Correct answer: 1 Mark
(a) For a triangle, sum of all angles = 180o
Or, (2x - 15o) + (x + 20o) + (x + 15o) = 180o
Or, 2x + x + x - 15o + 20o + 15o = 180o
Or, 4x + 20o = 180o
Or, 4x = 160o
Or, x = 1604 = 40o
The angles of the triangle will be, (2x - 15o = 65o), (x + 20o = 60o) and (x + 15o = 55o)
Since all angles are less than 90o, it's an 'acute angled triangle' and also all the angles are of different values therefore all the sides will be of different length, hence it is a 'scalene triangle'.

In triangle ABD
2x+4+90+30=180
2x=180124
x=562
x=28
In triangle ADC
4xk+90+10=180
4xk=180100
4(28)k=80 (Substituting the value of x=28)
k=4(28)80
k=11280
k=32
The angles are 40,60 and 80 for the given triangle.
Question 102.


A __ connects a vertex of a triangle to the mid-point of the opposite side.


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->
:

A median is line joining a vertex of a triangle to the mid-point of the opposite side.

It is given that OBC is 90.
Then, B must be the midpoint of CE.


  1.     True
  2.     False
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B

A median connects a vertex of a triangle to the mid point of the opposite side.
An altitude is a perpendicular on one of the sides from the opposite vertex.
As OB is the altitude, B may or may not be the midpoint of CE.


Question 104.


The sum of all the exterior angles of a triangle is ___  (in degrees)​.


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:

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 105.


A triangle with all the three angles less than 60 degree is possible.


  1.     True
  2.     False
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B

A triangle with all the three angles less than 60 is not possible, as the sum of all the angles of a triangle is 180​.


Question 106.


A triangle with sides 2cm, 3cm and 5cm is possible.


  1.     True
  2.     False
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B

Sum of lengths of any two sides of a triangle should always be greater than the third side.


Here, 2 + 3 = 5
Therefore, this triangle is not possible.


Question 107.


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 108.


Which of the following triangles are isosceles as well as obtuse-angled triangles?


Which Of The Following Triangles Are Isosceles As Well As o...


  1.     Fig 1 and Fig 3 only
  2.     Fig 2 and Fig 3 only
  3.     Fig 1, Fig 2 and Fig 4 only
  4.     Fig 1, Fig 2 and Fig 3 only
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Fig 1 and Fig 3 only
:
A

An obtuse angled triangle is the triangle in which one of the angles is greater than 90. 
An isosceles triangle is the triangle in which two sides are equal.
1. Fig 1:
ΔPQR  is isosceles [PQ=PR]
                          Q=R
[ angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle are equal]
P+Q+R  =180 
[angle sum property of a triangle]
P+25 +25 =180
P=180 50=130 
ΔPQR is an obtuse angled triangle as one of the angles measures 130°.
2. Fig 2:
ΔABC is isosceles [AB=AC]
Similarly as above, we can find the angles of this triangle.
A=35,B=C=72.5 
Since all angles are less than 90, ΔABC is an acute angled triangle.
3. Fig 3:
ΔXYZ is an isosceles as well as an obtuse angled triangle as angle Y measures 110°.
4. Fig 4:
ΔMNO is an isosceles as well as a right angled triangle.
Hence, only Fig 1 and Fig 3 are isosceles as well as obtuse angled triangles.


Question 109.


Consider the figure:


Consider The Figure:If ∠A = 50∘​, ∠B = 70∘​ And ...


If A = 50​, B = 70​ and x = 2y, then x+y is equal to (in degrees)

Answer: Option A. -> Fig 1 and Fig 3 only
:

By Exterior angle property of triangles,
x + y = A + B
         = 50 + 70
         = 120


Question 110.


The third side of a triangle must be greater than the difference between the other two sides.


  1.     True
  2.     False
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A

The third side of a triangle must be greater than the difference between the other two sides.
