#### Question 2:

If the angles of a triangle are in the ratio 1 : 2 : 3, determine three angles.

Let the angles of the given triangle be of xº, 2xº and 3xº. Then,

Hence, the angles of the triangle are 30º, 60º and 90º.

#### Question 3:

Given angles are

Hence, the value of x is 100°.

#### Question 4:

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

Let the two equal angles are x°, then the third angle will be (x + 30)°.

Therefore, the angles of the given triangle are 50°, 50° and 80°.

#### Question 5:

If one angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the other two, show that the triangle is a right triangle.

Let ABC be a triangle such that

Hence, the given triangle is a right angled triangle.

#### Question 6:

Can a triangle have:

(i) Two right angles?

(ii) Two obtuse angles?

(iii) Two acute angles?

(iv) All angles more than 60°?

(v) All angles less than 60°?

(vi) All angles equal to 60°?

(i) Let a triangle ABC has two angles equal to .  We know that sum of the three angles of a triangle is 180°.

Hence, if two angles are equal to , then the third one will be equal to zero which implies that A, B, C is collinear, or we can say ABC is not a triangle

A triangle can’t have two right angles.

(ii) Let a triangle ABC has  two obtuse angles

This implies that sum of only two angles will be equal to more than 180° which contradicts the theorem sum of all angles in a triangle is always equals 180°.

Therefore, a  triangle can’t have two obtuse angles.

(iii) Let a triangle ABC has two acute angles.

This implies that sum of two angles will be less than . Hence third angle will be the difference of 180° and sum of both acute angles

Therefore,  a triangle can have two acute angles.

(iv) Let a triangle ABC having angles are more than 60°.

This implies that the sum of three angles will be more than 180° which contradicts the theorem sum of all angles in a triangle is always equals 180°.

Therefore, a triangle can’t have all angles more than .

(v) Let a triangle ABC having anglesare less than 60°.

This implies that the sum of three angles will be less than 180° which contradicts the theorem sum of all angles in a triangle is always equals 180°.

Therefore,  a triangle can’t have all angles less than 60°.

(vi) Let a triangle ABC having angles all equal to 60°.

This implies that the sum of three angles will be equal to 180° which satisfies the theorem sum of all angles in a triangle is always equals 180°.

Therefore, a triangle can have all angles equal to 60°.

#### Question 7:

The angles of a triangle are arranged in ascending order of magnitude. If the difference between two consecutive angles is 10°, find the three angles.

Let the angles of a triangle are          [Since, the difference between two consceutive angles is 10°]

#### Question 9:

The bisectors of base angles of a triangle cannot enclose a right angle in any case.

Let ABC be a triangle and  BO and CO be the bisectors of the base anglerespectively.

We know that if the bisectors of angles ∠ABC and ∠ACB of a triangle ABC meet at a point O, then

$\angle BOC=90°+\frac{1}{2}\angle A$

From the above relation it is very clear that if is equals 90° then must be equal to zero.

Now, if possible let is equals zero but on other hand it represents that  A, B, C will be collinear, that is they do not form a triangle.

Hence, the bisectors of base angles of a triangle cannot enclose a right angle in any case.

#### Question 10:

$\angle BOC=90°+\frac{1}{2}\angle A$

Hence the triangle is a right angled triangle.

#### Question 11:

In a Δ ABC, ∠ABC = ∠ACB and the bisectors of ∠ABC and ∠ACB intersect at O such that ∠BOC = 120°. Show that ∠A =∠B =∠C = 60°.

Let ABC be a triangle and BO and CO be the bisectors of the base anglerespectively.

We know that if the bisectors of angles ∠ABC and ∠ACB of a triangle ABC meet at a point O, then

$\angle BOC=90°+\frac{1}{2}\angle A$

are equal as it is given that .

Hence, .

#### Question 12:

If each angle of a triangle is less than the sum of the other two, show that the triangle is acute angled.

Let a triangle ABC having angles.

It is given that the sum of two angles are less than third one.

We know that the sum of all angles of a triangle equal to 180°.
