Question 1:

In the given question, there are four options, out of which one is correct. Choose the correct one.

A triangle can be constructed by taking its sides as:
(a) 1.8 cm, 2.6 cm, 4.4 cm
(b) 2 cm, 3 cm, 4 cm
(c) 2.4 cm, 2.4 cm, 6.4 cm
(d) 3.2 cm, 2.3 cm, 5.5 cm

Answer:

We know that

A triangle be constructed if it satisfies the condition.

The sum of two sides is greater than the third side.

(a) 1.8 + 2.6 = 4.4

Here 4.4 is not greater than 4.4

(b) 2 + 3 = 5

5 > 4

Here 5 is greater than 4

(c) 2.4 + 2.4 = 4.4

Here 4.4 is less than 6.4

(d) 3.2 + 2.3 = 5.5

Here 5.5 is equal to 5.5

Therefore, a triangle can be constructed by taking its sides as  2 cm, 3 cm, 4 cm.

Question 2:

In the given question, there are four options, out of which one is correct. Choose the correct one.
A triangle can be constructed by taking two of its angles as:
(a) 110°, 40°
(b) 70°, 115°
(c) 135°, 45°
(d) 90°, 90°

Answer:

 
A triangle can be constructed if the sum of two of its angles less than 180°.
 
So, here we can verify each option to check whether it satisfies above criterion :-
 
[Option A]  110° + 40° = 150°   ( Less than 180°)
[Option B]  70° + 115° = 185°  ( More than 180°)
[Option C]  135° + 45° = 180° ( Equals to 180°)
[Option D]  90° + 90° = 180°  ( Equals to 180°)
 
Among the above given option, only option A has the sum of two angles less than 180 degrees, which satisfies the criterion to construct a triangle.

Question 92:

State whether the statement is True or False.
Triangle with length of sides as 5 cm, 6 cm and 11 cm can be constructed.

Answer:

In a triangle, the sum of any two sides is always greater than or equal to the third side.

5 + 6 = 11
6 + 11 ≥ 5
These measurements do not satisfy the basic condition of a triangle.
Thus, the triangle cannot be constructed.

Question 95:

Construct a right-angled triangle whose hypotenuse measures 5 cm and one of the other sides measures 3.2 cm.

Answer:

Steps of construction
Step I: Draw a line AB = 3.2 cm.
Step II: Construct a right angle (90°) at point B, i.e. ∠ABY = 90°
Step III: Now, from point A, cut an arc 5 cm on BY at C.
Step IV: Joint C to A.

Question 102:

By what minimum angle does a regular hexagon rotate so as to coincide with its origional position for the first time?

Answer:

A regular hexagon must be rotated through a minimum angle of 60°.
So, that it can coincide with its original position for the first time. Because the angle of rotation of the hexagon =360°Number of sides
=360°6=60°

Thus, the minimum angle a regular hexagon rotates so as to coincide with its original position for the first time is 60°.
