नहीं तीन रेखाखंड दिए होने पर सदैव त्रिभुज…
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.
Jayant tried to construct a triangle with sides…
नहीं इन मापों से त्रिभुज की रचना नहीं…
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.
Is it possible to construct triangles with the…
i 2 सेमी 3 सेमी 4 सेमी ii…
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

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)

- (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.
- (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.

### Think and Discuss
Areas of ADE and quadrilateral ABCD are equal…
रचना में रेखा CE विकर्ण BD के समांतर…
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).
For pentagon the angle at the centre is…
हाँ n भुजाओं वाले समबहुभुज की प्रत्येक भुजा…
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.
