One of the angles of a triangle is 1/2 radian and the other is 99°. What is the third angle in radian measure? 1. \(\dfrac{9\pi - 10}{\pi}\)2. \(\dfrac{90\pi - 100}{7\pi}\)3. \(\dfrac{90\pi - 10}{\pi}\)4. None of the above

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : None of the above

Concept:

The sum of all angles of a triangle is 180° = π 

Calculations:

Given, one of the angles of a triangle is 1/2 radian and the other is 99°.

⇒ \(\rm ∠ A = (\dfrac 1 2)^c\) and ∠B = 99° 

Convert the ∠B  into radians by multiplying by \(\rm \dfrac {π}{180^\circ}\).

⇒ \(∠ B = 99^\circ \times \dfrac {π}{180^\circ}\) = \(\dfrac {11π}{20}\)

As we know, the sum of all angles of a triangle is 180° = π

⇒ \(\rm ∠ A + ∠ B + ∠ C = π\)

⇒ \(\rm ∠ C = π - (∠ A + ∠ B)\)

⇒ \(\rm ∠ C = π - (\dfrac 12 + \dfrac{11π}{20})\)

⇒  \(\rm ∠ C = π - (\dfrac {10 + 11π}{20})\)

⇒  \(\rm ∠ C = \dfrac {9π -10}{20}\)

Hence, one of the angles of a triangle is 1/2 radian and the other is 99°, then the third angle in radian measure is \(\rm ∠ C = \dfrac {9π -10}{20}\)

If a, b, c are in GP and log a - log 2b, log 2b - log 3c and log 3c - log a are in AP, then a, b, c are the lengths of the sides of a triangle which is1. Acute angle2. Obtuse angled3. Right angles4. Equilateral

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : Obtuse angled

Concept:         

The sides of an obtuse triangle should satisfy the condition that the sum of the square of two smaller sides should be less than the square of the largest side.

If a, b, c are in AP than \(b = \frac{{a + c}}{2}\)

If a, b, c are in GP than \(b = \sqrt {ac} \)

Calculation:
 log a - log 2b, log 2b - log 3c and log 3c - log a are in AP
\(\log 2b - \log 3c = \frac{{\log 3c - \log a + \log a - \log 2b}}{2}\)
\(\log \frac{{2b}}{{3c}} = \frac{{\log \frac{{3c}}{{2b}}}}{2}\)
\(\frac{{4{b^2}}}{{9{c^2}}} = \frac{{3c}}{{2b}}\)
2b = 3c   -----------(1)
∵ a, b, c are in GP
⇒ b2 = ac  -----------(2)
From equation 1 and 2 we get
9c = 4a
a:b:c = 9:2:4
As we know that, for obtuse triangle  the sum of the square of two smaller sides should be less than the square of the largest side.
⇒ a2 > b2 + c2
So, a, b and c are the sides of an obtuse angle triangle.
3.

One angle of a right angled triangle is 70°. Find the other acute angle.

Answer»

We know that,

Sum of all the angles in a triangle =180°

Let us consider the acute angle as x

Hence,

x + 90° + 70° = 180°

x + 160° = 180°

x = 180° – 160°

We get,

x = 20°

Therefore, the acute angle is 20°

Sum of all the angles in a triangle =180°

Let us consider the acute angle as x Hence,

x + 90° + 70° = 180°

 x + 160° = 180°

x = 180° – 160° We get, x = 20°

Therefore, the acute angle is 20°

If the centroid of a triangle formed by (4,x), (y,-5) and (7, 8) is (3, 5), then the values of x and y are respectively1. 2, 122. -12, 133. 12, -24. 13, -2

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 12, -2

Concept:

The centroid of a Triangle: The point where the three medians of the triangle intersect.

Let’s consider a triangle. If the three vertices of the triangle are A(x1, y1), B(x2, y2), C(x3, y3)

The centroid of a triangle

=\(\rm (\frac{x_1+x_2+x_3}{3}, \frac{y_1+y_2+y_3}{3})\)

Calculation:

Here, vertices of triangle (4,x), (y,-5) and (7, 8) and Centroid = (3, 5)

So, 3 = \(\rm \frac{4+y+7}{3}\)

⇒11+y = 9 

⇒ y = -2

And, 5 = \(\rm \frac{x-5+8}{3}\)

⇒ x + 3 = 15

⇒ x = 12

∴ x = 12, and y = -2

Hence, option (3) is correct. 

5.

If perpendicular of a right angled triangle is 8 cm and its area is 20 cm2, the length of base is?1. 20 cm2. 05 cm3. 40 cm4. 08 cm

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 05 cm

Given:

Perpendicular of right angled triangle = 8 cm

Area = 20 cm2

Formula used:

Area of right angled triangle = (1/2) × perpendicular × base

Calculation:

⇒ 20 cm2 = (1/2) × 8 × base

⇒ base = 20/4

⇒ 5 cm

∴ The length of base is 5 cm

6.

ABC is a triangle in which altitudes BD and CE to sides AC and AB are equal (see figure). Show that i) ΔABD ≅ ΔACE ii) AB = AC i.e., ABC is an isosceles triangle.

Answer»

Given that BD ⊥ AC; CE ⊥ AC 

BD = CE 

Now in ΔABD and ΔACE 

∠ADB = ∠AEC (∵ given 90°) 

∠A = ∠A (commori angle)

BD = CE 

∴ ΔABD = ΔACE (∵ AAS congruence)

⇒ AB = AC (∵ C.P.C.T)

What is the minimum data required for constructing a triangle?1. Measure of two angles2. Length of any two sides and measure of their included angle3. Length of two sides4. Measure of one angle and length of one side

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : Length of any two sides and measure of their included angle

Triangle: A triangle is a loop in which three sides are joined together. The point at which lines are joined is called the vertex. The angle measure of a triangle is 180 degrees. The minimum criteria to construct a triangle is to have a length of two sides and an angle between them.

Properties of Triangle:

  • The angle sum of a triangle is 180 degrees.
  • An acute angle is an angle whose measure is less than 90°
  • An obtuse angle is an angle whose measure is greater than 90°
  • So, ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°

Hence, the minimum criteria to construct a triangle is to have a length of two sides and an angle between them.

8.

AB is a line segment and P is its mid-point. D and E are points on the same side of AB such that ∠BAD = ∠ABE and ∠EPA = ∠DPB (See the given figure). Show that (i) ΔDAP ≅ ΔEBP(ii) AD = BE

Answer»

It is given that EPA = DPB

EPA + DPE = DPB + DPE

DPA = EPB

In ΔDAP and ΔEBP,

DAP = EBP (Given)

AP = BP (P is mid-point of AB)

DPA = EPB (From above)

∴ ΔDAP  ΔEBP (ASA congruence rule)

AD = BE (By CPCT)
