Question 4

Two angles of a triangle are equal and the third angle is greater than each of those angles by 30o. Determine all the angles of the triangle.

Solution 4

Question 5

Solution 5

Question 6

Can a triangle have:

(i) Two right angles?

(ii) Two obtuse angles?

(iii) Two acute angles?

(iv) All angles more than 60o?

(v) All angles less than 60o?

(vi) All angles equal to 60o?

 

Justify your answer in each case.

Solution 6

(i) No

As two right angles would sum up to 180o, and we know that the sum of all three angles of a triangle is 180o, so the third angle will become zero. This is not possible, so a triangle cannot have two right angles.

(ii) No

A triangle cannot have 2 obtuse angles, since then the sum of those two angles will be greater than 180o which is not possible as the sum of all three angles of a triangle is 180o.

(iii) Yes

A triangle can have 2 acute angles.

(iv) No

The sum of all the internal angles of a triangle is 180o. Having all angles more than 60o will make that sum more than 180o, which is impossible.

(v) No

The sum of all the internal angles of a triangle is 180o. Having all angles less than 60o will make that sum less than 180o, which is impossible.

(vi) Yes


The sum of all the internal angles of a triangle is 180o.  So, a triangle can have all angles as 60o. Such triangles are called equilateral triangles.

Question 1

If all the three angles of a triangle are equal, then each one of them is equal to

(a) 90°

(b) 45°

(c) 60°

(d) 30°

Solution 1

Let the measure of each angle be x°.

Now, the sum of all angles of any triangle is 180°.

Thus, x° + x° + x° = 180°

i.e. 3x° = 180°

i.e. x° = 60°

Hence, correct option is (c).

Question 2

If two acute angles of a right triangle are equal, then each acute is equal to

(a) 30°

(b) 45°

(c) 60°

(d) 90°

Solution 2

Let the measure of each acute angle of a triangle be x°.

Then, we have

x° + x° + 90° = 180°

i.e. 2x° = 90°

i.e. x° = 45°

Hence, correct option is (b).

 

Question 3

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to 100° and two interior opposite angle are equal. Each of these angles is equal to

(a) 75°

(b) 80°

(c) 40°

(d) 50°

Question 4

If one angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the other two angles, then the triangle is

(a) an isosceles triangle

(b) an obtuse triangle

(c) an equilateral triangle

(d) a right triangle

Solution 4

Let the three angles of a triangle be A, B and C.

Now, A + B + C = 180°

If A = B + C

Then A + (A) = 180°

i.e. 2A = 180°

i.e. A = 90°

Since, one of the angle is 90°, the triangle is a Right triangle.

Hence, correct option is (d).
