Which of the following statements is false?1. All equilateral triangles are similar2. All 30° – 60° – 90° triangles are similar3. All 45° – 45° – 90° triangles are similar4. All isosceles triangles are similar |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : All isosceles triangles are similar Concept: Following are the properties of similarities of triangle: 1) AAA - When all angle of both the triangle are equal then they are similar. 2) SAS - When two sides and angle between them of two triangle are equal then they are similar. 3) SSS - When all the sides of both the triangle are in same proportion then they are similar. Calculation: Now, We will go through the options. By option (1), In all the equilateral triangle all the sides in same proportion. So they are similar by AAA property. By option (2) and (3), If both the triangle has equal angle like 30° – 60° – 90° or 45° – 45° – 90° they are similar by AAA property. By option (4), In all isosceles triangles two side are proportional but third side can't be always proportional neither angle between them are always equal. ∴ Two isosceles triangle can not always be similar. |

Option A: 5.5 cm + 8.5 cm > 7.5 cm ⇒ 14 cm > 7.5 cm (yes) 8.5 cm + 7.5 cm > 5.5 cm ⇒ 16 cm > 5.5 cm (yes) 7.5 cm + 5.5 cm > 8.5 cm ⇒ 13 cm > 8.5 cm (yes) The Sum of any 2 sides should be bigger than 3rd side of the triangle. So, the triangle can be formed. This option is correct Option B: 2.5 cm + 6.5 cm > 3.5 cm ⇒ 9 cm > 3.5 cm (yes) 6.5 cm + 3.5 cm > 2.5 cm ⇒ 10 cm > 2.5 cm (yes) 3.5 cm + 2.5 cm < 6.5 cm ⇒ 6 cm < 6.5 cm (No) The Sum of any 2 sides is smaller than 3rd side of the triangle. So, the triangle can't be formed. Option C: 4.2 cm + 6.2 cm > 1.9 cm ⇒10.4 cm > 1.9 cm (yes) 6.2 cm + 1.9 cm > 4.2 cm ⇒ 8.1 cm > 4.2 cm (yes) 4.2 cm + 1.9 cm < 6.2 cm ⇒ 6.1 cm < 6.2 cm (No) The Sum of any 2 sides is smaller than 3rd side of the triangle. So, the triangle can't be formed. Option D: 3.1 cm + 4.1 cm > 1.0cm ⇒ 7.2 cm > 1.0 cm (yes) 4.1 cm + 1.0cm > 3.1 cm ⇒ 5.1 cm > 3.1 cm (yes) 3.1 cm + 1.0 cm = 4.1 cm ⇒ 4.1 cm = 4.1 cm (No) The Sum of any 2 sides is smaller than 3rd side of the triangle. So, the triangle can't be formed. The correct option is 1 i.e. 5.5 cm, 8.5 cm, 7.5 cm |

In a triangle, all of its four special points are coincident. The triangle is1. right-angled triangle2. equilateral triangle3. isosceles triangle4. None of the above |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : equilateral triangle Concept For an equilateral triangle, all the four points (circumcenter, incenter, orthocenter and centroid) coincide. Orthocenter : The orthocenter is the point of intersection of the three heights of a triangle. Centroid : The centroid is the point of intersection of the three medians. Circumcenter : The circumcenter is the point of intersection of the three perpendicular bisectors. Incenter : The incenter is the point of intersection of the three angle bisectors.

What will be the measurement of the angle if the difference of three times of the supplementary angle and the seven times of the complementary angle equals to 10°.1. 25°2. 30°3. 35°4. None of these |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 25° Given: (3 × supplementary angle) - (7 × complementary angle) =10° Formula Used/Concept used: Sum of complementary angle is 90° Sum of supplementary angle is 180° Calculation: Let the angle be x ⇒ {3 × (180° - x)} - {7 × (90° - x)} = 10° . ⇒ 540° - 3x - (630° - 7x) = 10° ⇒ 540° - 3x - 630° + 7x = 10° ⇒ 4x - 90° = 10° ⇒ 4x = 10° + 90° ⇒ 4x = 100° ⇒ x = 100°/4 ⇒ x = 25° ∴ The required answer is 25° |

Let x be the angle which is equal to its complement and y be the angle which is equal to its supplement. Then 2x + 3y is equal to1. 360° 2. 180°3. 1350°4. 2700° |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 360° Concept Complementary angles are those angles whose sum is 90º Supplementary angles are those whose sum is 180º Calculation x is equal to its complement ⇒ x + x = 90º 2x = 90º ⇒ x = 45º y is equal to its supplement ⇒ y + y = 180º 2y = 180º ⇒ y = 90º so, 2x + 3y = 2 × 45º + 3 × 90º = 90º + 270º = 360º |

Let x be the angle (in degrees) which is 32° less than its supplement and y be the angle (in degrees) which is 24° more than its complement. The sum of x and y is:1. 1262. 1313. 1374. 121 |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 131 Concept Complementary angles are those angles whose sum is 90° Supplementary angles are those whose sum is 180° Calculation x + x + 32° = 180° ⇒ 2x = 180° - 32° = 148° So, x = 74° y + y - 24° = 90° ⇒ 2y = 90° + 24° = 114° So, y = 57° Then, x + y = 74° + 57° = 131° |

The difference of the two complementary angle is 50°, then what is the measure of the greater angle?1. 20° 2. 70° 3. 65° 4. 25° |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 70° Given: The difference between the two complementary angles = 50° Concept used: Complementary angle:- The sum of two angles is 90° Calculation: Let the two angles be x and y respectively A/Q x + y = 90 -----(i) x - y = 50 ------(ii) By adding both equations (i) and (ii) x + y + x - y = 90 + 50 ⇒ 2x = 140 ⇒ x = 70 By substituting value of x in equation in eq. (i) x + y = 90 ⇒ 70 + y = 90 ⇒ y = 90 - 70 ⇒ y = 20° Hence, x > y ∴ The greater angle is 70° |
