Answer:

The measures of two angles of a triangle are 72° and 58°. 
Let the third angle be x
Now, the sum of the measures of all the angles of a triangle is 180o​.
     + 72+ 58o = 180o
    ⇒ x + 130= 180o                   
    ⇒ x = 180o- 130o
    ⇒ x = 50o
​The measure of the third angle of the triangle is 50o​.

Answer:

The angles of a triangle are in the ratio 1:3:5. 
Let the measures of the angles of the triangle be (1x), (3x) and (5x)
Sum of the measures of the angles of the triangle = 180o
      ∴ 1x + 3x + 5x = 180o
        ⇒ 9x = 180o
        ⇒ x = 20o
 1x = 20o
3x = 60o
​5x = 100o
The measures of the angles are 20o, 60o and 100o

Answer:

In a right angle triangle, one of the angles is 90o.
It is given that one of the acute angled of the right angled triangle is 50o.
We know that the sum of the measures of all the angles of a triangle is 180o.
Now, let the third angle be x.
​Therefore, we have:
            90o​ + 50o= 180o
   ⇒        140o = 180o
​   ⇒                    x = 180o - 140o
  ⇒                     x =  40o
The third acute angle is 40o​.

Answer:



Given:
∠A = 110o and ​∠B = ∠C
Now, the sum of the measures of all the angles of a traingle is 180o .
              ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180o
      ⇒    110o + ​∠B + ∠B = 180o
​      ⇒    110o  + 2​∠B = 180o
​      
⇒                2​∠B = 180- 110o
       ⇒                2∠B =  70o
      ⇒                  ∠B = 70/ 2
      ⇒                  ∠B = 35o

      ∴ ​∠C = 35o
The measures of the three angles:
∠A = 110o, ∠B = 35o, ​∠C = 35o

Page No 196:

Answer:

Given:
 ∠A = ∠B + ∠C
​We know:
       ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180o
    ⇒ ∠B +∠C + ∠B + ∠C = 180o
​    ⇒ 2∠B + 2∠C = 180o
​    ⇒ 2(∠B +∠C) = 180o
​    ⇒ ∠B + ∠C = 180/2
    ⇒ ​∠B + ∠C = 90o
 ∠A = 90o
This shows that the triangle is a right angled triangle.

Answer:

Let 3∠A = 4 ∠B = 6 ∠C = x
Then, we have:
 A = x3, B = x4, C = x6But, A + B + C = 180° x3 + x4 + x6 = 180°or 4x + 3x + 2x12 = 180°or 9x = 180° × 12 = 2160°or x = 240°  A = 2403 = 80°, B = 2404 = 60°, C = 2406 = 40°

Equilateral Triangle: A triangle whose all three sides are equal in length and each of the three angles measures 60o.
Isosceles Triangle: A triangle whose two sides are equal in length and the angles opposite them are equal to each other.
Scalene Triangle: A triangle whose all three sides and angles are unequal in measure.

   DE = EF = 2.4 cm
(iii) Scalene
   All the sides are unequal.
(iv) Equilateral
    XY = YZ = ZX = 3 cm

     Two angles are equal in measure.
(vii) Scalene
    All the angles are unequal.

Answer:

In ∆ABC, if we take a point D on BC, then we get three triangles, namely ∆ADB, ∆ADC and ∆ABC.

Page No 197:

Answer:

(i) No
     If the two angles are 90o each, then the sum of two angles of a triangle will be 180o​, which is not possible.
(ii) No
      For example, let the two angles be 120o and 150o. Then, their sum will be 270o​, which cannot form a triangle.
(iii) Yes
       For example, let the two angles be 50o and 60o​, which on adding, gives 110o. They can easily form a triangle whose third angle is 180o - 110o = 70o​.
(iv) No
      For example, let the two angles be 70o​ and 80o, which on adding, gives 150o. They cannot form a triangle whose third angle is 180o- 150= 30o, which is less than 60o.
(v) No
      For example, let the two angles be 50o and 40o, which on adding, gives 90o . Thus, they cannot form a triangle whose third angle is 180o - 90o = 90o​, which is greater than 60o.
(vi) Yes
      Sum of all angles = 60o + 60o + 60o​ = 180o

(ii) The sum of the angles of a triangle is 180o
(iii) The sides of a scalene triangle are of different lengths.
(iv) Each angle of an equilateral triangle measures 60o.
(v) The angles opposite to equal sides of an isosceles triangle are equal.
(vi) The sum of the lengths of the sides of a triangle is called its perimeter.

Answer:

Correct option: (c)
A triangle has 6 parts: three sides and three angles.

Page No 197:

Answer:

Correct option: (b) 
(a) Sum = 30° + 60° + 70° = 160o
     This is not equal to the sum of all the angles of a triangle. 
(b) Sum = 50° + 70° + 60° = 180o
     Hence, it is possible to construct a triangle with these angles.
(c) Sum = 40° + 80° + 65° = 185o
      This is not equal to the sum of all the angles of a triangle.
(d) Sum = 72° + 28° + 90° = 190o
     This is not equal to the sum of all the angles of a triangle.

Page No 197:

Answer:

(b) 80o
Let the measures of the given angles be (2x)o, (3x)o​ and (4x)o.
(2x)o + (3x)+ (4x)o = 180o
  ⇒ (9x)o = 180o
​  ⇒ x = 180 / 9
  ⇒ x = 20o
​2x =  40o, 3x = 60o, 4x = 80o

Hence, the measures of the angles of the triangle are 40o​, 60o, 80o.
Thus, the largest angle is 80o.

Answer:

Correct option: (d)
The measure of two angles are complimentary if their sum is 90o degrees. 
Let the two angles be x and y, such that x + y = 90o .
Let the third angle be z.
Now, we know that the sum of all the angles of a triangle is 180o​.
   x + y + z​ = 180o
 ⇒ 90o + z = 180o
 ⇒ = 180o - 90
        = 90o
​The third angle is 90o.

Answer:

Correct option: (c)
Let ∠A = 70o
The triangle is an isosceles triangle.
We know that the angles opposite to the equal sides of an isosceles triangle are equal.
 ​∠B = 70o
​We need to find the vertical angle ​∠C.
Now, sum of all the angles of a triangle is 180o.
    ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180o
⇒​ 70o + 70o​ + ∠C = 180o
⇒ 140+ ​∠C = 180o
⇒ ∠C = 180o - 140o
⇒ ∠C = 40o

Page No 198:

Answer:

Correct option: (c)
A triangle having sides of different lengths is called a scalene triangle.

Page No 198:

Answer:


Correct option: (a)

In the isosceles ABC, ​the bisectors of ∠B and ∠C meet at point O.
Since the triangle is isosceles, the angles opposite to the equal sides are equal.
∠B = ∠C
∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180o
  ⇒  40o + 2∠B = 180o
  ⇒ 2∠B = 140o
  ⇒ ∠B = 70o
Bisectors of an angle divide the angle into two equal angles.
So, in  ∆BOC:
∠OBC = 35o and ∠OCB = 35o
∠BOC + ∠OBC + ∠OCB = 180​o
  ⇒ ∠BOC + 35o + 35o = 180o
  ⇒ ∠BOC = 180o​ - 70o
  ⇒ ∠BOC = 110o

Answer:

Correct option: (b)
The sides of a triangle are in the ratio 3:2:5.
Let the lengths of the sides of the triangle be (3x), (2x), (5x).
We know:
 Sum of the lengths of the sides of a triangle = Perimeter
   (3x) + (2x) + (5x) = 30
  ⇒ 10x = 30
  ⇒ x =  30 
            10
  ⇒ x = 3
First side = 3x = 9 cm
Second side = 2x = 6 cm
Third side = 5x = 15 cm
The length of the longest side is 15 cm.

                     x = 125o
