📝 Question:

In-Text Questions Let us Construct Question 1 If the length of three line segments are given, then is it always possible to construct a triangle with the given measurement? Discuss among yourselves. : , ?

💡 Solution:

No, it is not always possible to construct a triangle given three line segments. A triangle can only be constructed if the sum of the lengths of any two smaller sides is strictly greater than the length of the longest side.

Question 2

Jayant tried to construct a triangle with sides…


📝 Question:

Jayant tried to construct a triangle with sides 2 cm, 3 cm and 6 cm. Can a triangle be constructed with these measurements? Why? : 2 , 3 6 ? ?

💡 Solution:

No, a triangle cannot be constructed with these measurements.

Reason: Here, the two smaller sides are 2 cm and 3 cm, and the longest side is 6 cm.

Sum of two smaller sides = 2 + 3 = 5 cm.

Since 5 cm < 6 cm (sum of two sides is less than the third side), the arcs drawn from the endpoints will not intersect each other.

📝 Question:

Is it possible to construct triangles with the following measurements? (i) (2 cm, 3 cm, 4 cm) (ii) (3 cm, 4 cm, 5 cm) (iii) (2 cm, 4 cm, 8 cm) (iv) (4 cm, 5 cm, 6 cm) : ?

💡 Solution:

Rule: A triangle is possible only if sum of two smaller sides > longest side.

(i) 2 + 3 = 5 cm > 4 cm → Possible

(ii) 3 + 4 = 7 cm > 5 cm → Possible

(iii) 2 + 4 = 6 cm < 8 cm → Not Possible

(iv) 4 + 5 = 9 cm > 6 cm → Possible

Question

📝 Question:

In this triangle AB = 5 cm, AC = 4 cm and ∠A = 45°. If we want we can draw a line segment AB of 5 cm and then a ray AY making on angle of 45° on AB. Now from A make an arc of 4 cm on AC. Is triangle ACB like the first triangle? : AB = 5 , AC = 4 ∠A = 45° AB = 5 AB 45° AY A AC 4 ACB ?

💡 Solution:

Yes, △ACB is congruent (identical in shape and size) to △ABC constructed earlier. Changing the base side from AC to AB with the same included angle ∠A = 45° yields a unique triangle by SAS congruence rule.

Question

📝 Question:

Construct a triangle ABC where AB = 7 cm, AC = 6 cm and ∠B = 40° : ABC AB = 7 , AC = 6 ∠B = 40°

💡 Solution:

Observation:** Here two sides and a non-included angle are given (SSA condition).

Question

📝 Question:

Discuss with friends the measurements given to construct triangle:- (i) AB = 7 cm, AC = 6 cm, ∠C = 40° (ii) AB = 3 cm, BC = 4 cm, ∠A = 60° (iii) PR = 6 cm, PQ = 5 cm, ∠Q = 75° (iv) AB = 4.5 cm, AC = 6.3 cm, ∠A = 55°

💡 Solution:

A unique triangle can be constructed only when two sides and the included angle (angle formed between them) are given.

(i) AB = 7 cm, AC = 6 cm, ∠C = 40° → Non-included angle (Not unique)

(ii) AB = 3 cm, BC = 4 cm, ∠A = 60° → Non-included angle (Not unique)

(iii) PR = 6 cm, PQ = 5 cm, ∠Q = 75° → Non-included angle (Not unique)

(iv) AB = 4.5 cm, AC = 6.3 cm, ∠A = 55° → Included angle ∠A (Unique triangle possible)

Question

Construct a triangle with the given measurements and…


📝 Question:

Construct a triangle with the given measurements and discuss which type of triangle are these:- (i) In △PQR, PQ = 5 cm, ∠P = 90°, ∠Q = 30° (ii) In △MNP, MN = 6 cm, ∠M = 90°, ∠N = 30° 2. Draw and see if it is possible to construct triangle of given measurement:- (i) PQ = 3.5 cm, ∠Q = 45°, ∠R = 50° (ii) XY = 7.5 cm, ∠Z = 70°, ∠Y = 40° 1. :- 2

💡 Solution:

  1. (i) & (ii): Both △PQR and △MNP have one angle equal to 90° and two acute angles (30° and 60°). Therefore, these are Right-Angled Triangles.
  2. (i) Given base PQ = 3.5 cm, ∠Q = 45°, ∠R = 50°. Third angle ∠P = 180° – (45° + 50°) = 85°. Since we can find both base angles ∠P and ∠Q, construction is possible.

(ii) Given base XY = 7.5 cm, ∠Z = 70°, ∠Y = 40°. Third angle ∠X = 180° – (70° + 40°) = 70°. Since base angles ∠X and ∠Y are known, construction is possible.

Question

📝 Question:

Measure the three sides of the triangle which you have constructed and add them. Is AB + BC + CA = 10.5 cm? : AB + BC + CA = 10.5 ?

💡 Solution:

Yes, on measuring the constructed △ABC (where PQ = 10.5 cm was taken as perimeter), the sum of sides AB + BC + CA is exactly equal to 10.5 cm.

📝 Question:

2: 5 – (90°)

### Think and Discuss

Question

Areas of ADE and quadrilateral ABCD are equal…


📝 Question:

Areas of △ADE and quadrilateral ABCD are equal. How? : ADE ABCD ?

💡 Solution:

In the construction, line CE was drawn parallel to diagonal BD.

△CDE and △BDE lie on the same base BD and between the same parallel lines BD and CE.

Therefore, Area(△CDE) = Area(△BDE).

Adding Area(△ABD) to both sides

Area(△ABD) + Area(△CDE) = Area(△ABD) + Area(△BDE)

⇒ Area(Quadrilateral ABCD) = Area(△ADE).

Question

For pentagon the angle at the centre is…


📝 Question:

For pentagon the angle at the centre is 360° / 5, for hexagon it is 360° / 6, so would the angle at the centre of a polygon of n sides be 360° / n? : 360° / 5 , 360° / 6 , n 360° / n ?

💡 Solution:

Yes, the angle subtended at the centre by each side of a regular polygon of n sides is equal to 360° / n. Since the total central angle around a point is 360°, dividing the circle into n equal parts gives 360° / n for each side.
