Question 81.


If a △QPR is right angled at P, then which is the longest side of the triangle?


  1.     PQ
  2.     QR
  3.     PR
  4.     Can't be determined.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> QR
:
B

The side opposite to the greatest angle in a triangle is the longest.
Here the biggest angle is the right angle, hence QR is the longest side of the triangle.


 If A △QPR Is Right Angled At P, Then Which is The Longest...


Question 82.


Pythagorean triplets are a set of three numbers in which the following relation holds true:


The sum of the squares of any two numbers is equal to the square of the third number.


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     PR
  4.     Can't be determined.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B

In a group of 3 numbers, if the square of the largest number is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two numbers, then, they form a Pythagorean triplet. So, the given statement is false.


Question 83.


Consider a right angled triangle ABC, right angled at B. Length of AC = 5 cm. ∠A = 37∘​. The sides of triangles are integers. Then, find the sum of the magnitudes of AB, BC  and ∠C.


Magnitude is defined as the absolute value. Example: If ∠A is 60 degree then, its magnitude is 60; and if length AB = 45 cm, then magnitude of AB = 45.


___
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:

Using angle sum property of a triangle,


C = 53 
Since the sides are integers, and the triangle is right angled; the sides are 3 and 4 centimetres respectively.


Thus, magnitude of (AB +BC +C) = 3 + 4 + 53 = 60


Question 84.


Consider the figure:
Consider The Figure:If ∠B = 50∘, ∠ACD = 120∘, thenÂ...


If ∠B = 50∘, ∠ACD = 120∘, then the value of ∠A (in degrees) is .


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:

By Exterior Angle property,
∠ACD = ∠A + ∠B
∴ ∠A =  ∠ACD - ∠B
            = 120∘​ -  50∘​
            = 70∘​


Question 85.


5cm, 12cm can be two sides of a right-angled triangle.


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     PR
  4.     Can't be determined.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A

Sides of lengths 5cm, 12cm and 13cm form sides of a right angled triangle.


Question 86.


The lengths of two sides of a triangle are 13cm and 16cm. The third side should lie between 'a' cm and 'b' cm for the triangle to be formed. Find the value of a + b?


___
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:

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


That is, third side > (16 - 13) which is 3.


Also, Sum of lengths of any two sides of a triangle is always greater than the third side.


That is, third side < (16+13) which is 29.


Hence, a + b = 3 + 29 = 32.


Question 87.


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
Answer: Option A. -> True
:

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


Question 88.


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
Answer: Option A. -> True
:

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 of ABC=177 [Angle sum property of a triangle].
The following triangle will be an Obtuse angled triangle , because one of the angle is greater than 90°


Question 89.


Answer the following: [2 MARKS]
(i) Angle opposite to CA in ΔABC.
(ii) Side opposite to A in ΔAOD.


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
Each part: 1 Mark each
(i) In ΔABC, opposite to side CA is the B.
(ii) In ΔAOD, A gets formed with AO and AD. Hence, the side opposite to A will be OD.
Question 90.


Can we say that there exists only one triangle with a particular set of sides? What are such triangles known as? [2 MARKS]


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:

Name and Explanation: 2 Marks
Yes, there exists a unique triangle for a particular set of sides. This is because 2 triangles having the same set of sides will be exactly identical. You can realize this by drawing 2 triangles with the same set of sides and then trying to superimpose one over the other. You will find that they are exactly identical.
If the two triangles have equal sides, then the two triangles are said to be congruent as equal sides are one of the criteria for congruency of triangles.
