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

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 42. Explain the three types of triangles based on sides.  [2 MARKS]

Explanation: 2 Marks
Three types of triangles categorized by sides are:
(i) If all the three sides of the triangle have unequal length, the triangle is called a Scalene triangle.
(ii) If two out of three sides are equal in length, it's called an Isosceles triangle.
(iii) If all three sides of a triangle are equal in length, it's called an Equilateral triangle.

Question 44. Are the following triangles possible? [4 MARKS]
(i) AB = 4 cm, BC = 5.6 cm, AC = 10 cm
(ii) A = 60oB = 120oC = 30o  
(iii) AB = 5 cm, BC = 7 cm, AC = 11 cm
(iv) A = 60oB = 90oC = 30o

Answer withReason:1 Mark each
(i) Triangle ABC is not possible. This is because, for any triangle, the sum of two sides should be greater than the third but AB + BC < AC.
(ii) Triangle ABC is not possible. Sum of all angles in a triangle should be 180o but here,
A(60o) + B(120o) + C(30o) = 210o
(iii)Triangle ABC is possible because it satisfies the condition for the formation of a triangle i.e. the sum of two sides should be greater than the third.
(iv)Triangle ABC is possible. Sum of all angles in a triangle should be 180o and here,
A(60o) + B(90o) + C(30o) = 180o

Properties: 2 Marks
Steps: 1 Marks
Result: 1 Mark
In the given triangle,
Two sides are equal and the angle made by joining them is 90o.
Let the other angles be y ( equal sides have equal angles opposite to them)
For the given triangle,
Sum of all angles = 180o
Or, y + y + 90o = 180o
Or, 2y = 180o - 90o
Or, y = 90o2 = 45o
The two horizontal lines are parallel to each other.
X = 45o + y ( interior alternate angles are equal)
Or, X = 45o + 45o = 90o
Question 46. (a) What will be the value of x in the following diagram? [3 MARKS]

(b) If a QPR is right angled at P, which is the longest side of the triangle?
 Discuss Question

:
(a)Steps: 1 Mark
Result: 1 Mark
(b) Answer with reason: 1 Mark
(a) According to the question, the three sides of the triangle are equal.
Hence, all angles will also be equal (say x).
Sum of angles of a triangle = 180o
Or, x + x + x = 180o
Or, 3x = 180o
Or x = 180o3 = 60o
(b) In a triangle, the side opposite to the angle with the largest value is the longest.
Here the biggest angle is the right angle, hence QR is the longest side in QPR, right angled at P.

Correct answer: 1 Mark
Reason: 1 Mark
Steps: 2 Marks
From the figure, we can see that
BO is perpendicular to AC and AO = OC
BO is cutting the base into half and is also perpendicular to it.
BO is acting both as an altitude and median.
An altitude acts as a median only in an Equilateral or Isosceles triangle with AB and BC being equal in length.
For the triangle ABC,
Sum of all angles = 180o
Or, A + B + C = 180o
Or, A + C + 60o = 180
Or, 2A = 180o - 60o ( angles opposite to equal sides are equal)
Or, A = 120o2 = 60o
A = B = C = 60o
The above triangle is an Equilateral triangle.
Question 48. Explain the three types of triangles based on their angles. [2 MARKS]

Types of triangle: 2 Marks
The three types of triangles based on angles are:
(i) A triangle is called Obtuse angled when one of the angles has an angle greater than 90o.
(ii) If all angles of the triangle are less than 90o, it's called an Acute angled triangle.
(iii) If one of the angles is equal to 90o, it's called a Right angled triangle.
Question 49. In triangle ABC, which side will lie opposite to A? [1 MARK]
 Discuss Question

:
A will be formed by the sides BA and AC. Hence, the side opposite to A will be BC.
Question 50. What is the difference between median and altitude? [2 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
Each difference: 1 Mark
1.Median is a line segment formed between a vertex and the mid-point of the opposite side.
Altitude is the perpendicular distance of a vertex from its opposite side.
2.Median always bisects the opposite side of the vertex irrespective of the type of triangle.
Altitude may or may not bisect the opposite side of the vertex depending on the type of triangle.
In the figure below, CH is the altitude from vertex C on side AB and CM is median from C on side AB.
