Exercise 4.1
Question 1.
“The sum of any two angles of a triangle is always greater than the third angle”. Is this statement true. Justify your answer.
Solution:
No, the sum of any two angles of a triangle is not always greater than the third angle. In an isosceles right angled triangles, the angle will be 90°, 45°, 45°.
Here sum of two angles 45° + 45° = 90°.
Question 2.
The three angles of a triangle are in the ratio 1:2:1. Find all the angles of the triangle. Classify the triangle in two different ways.
Solution:
Let the angles of the triangle be x, 2x, x.
Using the angle sum property, we have
x + 2x + x = 180°
4x = 180°
x = 180∘/4
x = 45°
2x = 2 × 45° = 90°
Thus the three angles of the triangle are 45°, 90°, 45°.
Its two angles are equal. It is an isoscales triangle. Its one angle is 90°.
∴ It is a right angled triangle.
Question 3.
Find the values of the unknown x and y in the following figures
Solution:
(i) Since angles y and 120° form a linear pair.
y + 120° = 180°
y = 180° – 120°
y = 60°
Now using the angle sum property of a triangle, we have
x + y + 50° = 180°
x + 60° + 50° = 180°
x + 110° = 180°
x = 180° – 110°= 70°
x = 70°
y = 60
(ii) Using the angle sum property of triangle, we have
50° + 60° + y = 180°
110° + y = 180°
y = 180° – 110°
y = 70°
Again x and y form a linear pair
∴ x + y = 180°
x + 70° = 180°
x = 180° – 70°= 110°
∴ x = 110°; y = 70°
Question 4.
Two angles of a triangle are 30° and 80°. Find the third angle.
Solution:
Let the third angle be x.
Using the angle sum property of a triangle we have,
30° + 80° + x = 180°
x + 110° = 180°
x = 180° – 110° = 70°
Third angle = 70°.
