Name: 1 Mark
Theorem: 1 Mark
Answer: 1 Mark
Since ∠C is 90∘, the following is a right-angled triangle.
The theorem used is known as Pythagoras Theorem.
In a right angled triangle,
Base2 + perpendicular2 = hypotenuse2 (Pythagaros's Theorem)
Or, AB2 = BC2 + AC2
Or, AB2 = 16 + 9 = 25
Or, AB = √25 = 5
Question 32. (a) In a marathon, you started from checkpoint A and ran 5 km towards West. The checkpoint you reached was B. Then, you again ran for 12 km towards North and reached checkpoint C. Find the length of the shortest path which you must take to reach the finishing checkpoint A.

(a)

If we draw the path taken by you, it will look something like the figure above. We have to find AC. Applying Pythagoras property,
AB2+ BC2= AC2
52+ 122= AC2
AC2 = 25 + 144
AC2= √169
AC = 13 km
(b)
Let ABC be an equilateral triangle.
(a) In A Marathon, You Started From Checkpoint A And Ran 5 K...
BC = AC = AB (Length of all sides is same)
⇒∠A=∠B=∠C ( Angle opposite to equal sides are equal)
Also,
∠A+∠B+∠C=180∘
⇒3∠A=180∘
⇒∠A=60∘
∴∠A=∠B=∠C=60∘
Thus, the angles of an equilateral triangle are 60∘each.
Question 33. (a) Find the sum of all the exterior angles of a triangle.  
(b) 
Is it possible to draw a triangle whose sides have lengths 10.2 cm, 5.8 cm and 4.5 cm respectively? [4 MARKS]

Correct answer: 1 Mark
(a)
(a) Find The Sum Of All The Exterior Angles Of A Triangle. Â...
In the figure, 1, 2 and 3 are the interior angles whereas 4, 5 and 6 are exterior angles. Using linear pair axiom, we can say that:
∠1+∠4=180∘

∠3+∠6=180∘
∠2+∠3=180∘
Adding all of them, we get:
∠((1+4)+(3+6)+(2+5))=540∘
Rearranging the terms, we get:
∠((1+2+3)+(4+5+6))=540∘
∠(1+2+3)=180∘(Angle Sum Property of a triangle)
So, ∠((4+5+6))=540∘−180∘=360∘
So, the sum of the exterior angles of a triangle is 360∘
(b)Suppose such a triangle is possible. Then the sum of the lengths of any two sides would be greater than the length of the third side. Let's check this.
Is 4.5 + 5.8 > 10.2? Yes
Is 5.8 + 10.2 > 4.5? Yes
Is 10.2 + 4.5 > 5.8? Yes
Therefore, the triangle is possible.

(b) In a triangle ABC, an altitude is dropped from A to BC at D. ∠A=40∘,∠B=(2x+4)∘,∠C=(4x−k)∘,∠BAD=30∘

:
(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=180−124
⇒x=562
⇒x=28
In triangle ADC
⇒4x−k+90+10=180
⇒4x−k=180−100
⇒4(28)−k=80 (Substituting the value of x=28)
⇒k=4(28)−80
⇒k=112−80
⇒k=32
∴ The angles are 40∘,60∘and80∘ for the given triangle.
Question 35. If there is a scalene ABC in which all its angles have integral values, what would be the maximum possible value for ABC? Which type of triangle would ABC be, on the basis of its angles? [2 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
Calculation of angle: 1 Mark
Type of triangle: 1 Mark
In scalene triangles, all the angles are different. For ABC to be maximum, the other two angles must be minimum, but different (since scalene triangle).
The minimum value of the other angles will, therefore, be 1 and 2 as the angles have an integral value. Hence, for a scalene triangle the maximum integral value ofABC=177 [Angle sum property of a triangle].
The following triangle will be an Obtuse angled triangle , because one of the angle is greater than90°
Question 36. In a triangle, all the medians meet at point A. Similarly, all the altitudes meet at point N. For which type of triangle is point A same as point N? [1 MARK]
 Discuss Question

:
Equilateral Triangle; Only in an equilateral triangle, all the altitudes and median are same lines. So, point A will be same as point N.

  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. Fig1:
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∘
ΔPQRis an obtuse angled triangle as one of the angles measures 130°.
2. Fig 2:
ΔABCis 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 angledtriangle.
3. Fig3:
ΔXYZis an isosceles as well as an obtuse angled triangle as angleY measures 110°.
4. Fig4:
ΔMNOis an isosceles as well as a right angled triangle.
Hence, only Fig1and Fig3are isosceles as well as obtuse angledtriangles.

The third side of a triangle must be greater than the difference between the other two sides.
Question 39. A triangle with all the three angles less than 60 degree is possible.
  1.    True
  2.    False
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:

A triangle with all the three angles less than 60 is not possible, as thesum of all the angles of a triangle is 180​.
Question 40. 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.
