In each of the following triangles, find the value of x.

Answer»

(i) Let ∠S = 3x° 

Given = \(\overline{RS}\)

Given = \(\overline{RT}\)

= 4.5 cm 

Given ∠S = ∠T 

= 3x° [∵ Angles opposite to equal sides are equal] 

By angle sum property of a triangle we have, 

∠R + ∠S + ∠T = 180° 

72° + 3x + 3x = 180° 

72° + 6x = 180° 

x = \(\frac{108°}{6}\)

x = 18°

(ii) Given ∠X = 3x; 

∠Y = 2x; 

∠Z = 4x 

By angle sum property of a triangle we have 

∠X + ∠Y + ∠Z = 180° 

3x + 2x + 4x = 180°

∴ 9x = 180°

x = \(\frac{180°}{9}\)

x = 20°

(iii) Given ∠T = (x – 4)° 

∠U = 90° 

∠V = (3x – 2)° 

By angle sum property of a triang we have 

∠T + ∠U + ∠V = 180° 

(x – 4)° + 90° + (3x – 2)° = 180° 

x – 4° + 90° + 3x – 2° = 180° 

x + 3x + 90° – 4° – 2° = 180° 

4x + 84° = 180° 

4x = 180° – 84° 

4x = 96° 

x = \(\frac{96°}{4}\)

= 24° 

x = 24°

(iv) Given ∠N = (x + 31)° 

∠O = (3x – 10)° 

∠P = (2x – 3)°

By angle sum property of a triangle we have 

∠N + ∠O + ∠P = O 

(x + 31)° + (3x – 10)° + (2x – 3)° = 180° 

x + 31°+ 3x – 10° + 2x – 3° = 180° 

x + 3x + 2x + 31° – 10° – 3° = 180° 

6x + 18° = 180° 

6x = 180° + 18° 

6x = 162° 

x = \(\frac{162°}{6}\)

= 27° 

x = 27°

460.

In each of the following triangles, find the value of x.

Answer»

(i) Let ∠G = x 

By angle sum property we know that, 

∠E + ∠F + ∠G = 180° 

80° + 55° + x = 180° 

135° + x = 180° 

x = 45°

(ii) Let ∠M = x 

By angle sum property of triangles we have 

∠M + ∠M + ∠O = 180° 

x + 96° + 22° = 180°

x + 118° = 180° 

x = 180° – 118° 

= 62° 

(iii) Let ∠Z = (2x + 1)° and ∠Y = 90°

By the sum property of triangles we have 

∠x + ∠y + ∠z = 180° 

29° + 90° + (2x + 1)° = 180° 

119° + (2x + 1)° = 180° (2x + 1)° 

= 180° – 119° 

2x + 1° = 61° 

2x = 61° – 1° 

2x = 60° 

x = \(\frac{60°}{2}\)

x = 30°

(iv) Let ∠J = x and ∠L = 3x. 

By angle sum property of triangles we have 

∠J + ∠K + ∠L = 180° 

x + 112° + 3x = 180° 

4x = 180° – 112°

x = 68° 

x = \(\frac{68° }{4}\)

x = 17°

461.

Can you draw a triangle with 25°, 65° and 80° as angles?

Answer»

Given angle 25°, 65° and 80°. 

Sum of the angles = 25° + 65° + 80° 

= 170° ≠ 180 

∴ We cannot draw a triangle with these measures.

462.

Can 30°, 60° and 90° be the angles of a triangle?

Answer»

Given angles 30°, 60° and 90° 

Sum of the angles = 30° + 60° + 90° 

= 180° 

∴ The given angles form a triangle.

463.

Two angles of a triangle are 30° and 80°. Find the third angle.

Answer»

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°.

464.

“The sum of any two angles of a triangle is always greater than the third angle”. Is this statement true. Justify your answer.

Answer»

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°.

465.

Find the values of the unknown x and y in the following figures

Answer»

(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°

466.

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.

Answer»

Let the angles of the triangle be x, 2x, x.

Using the angle sum property, we have

x + 2x + x = 180°

4x = 180°

x = \(\frac{180°}{4}\)

x = 45°

2x = 2 x 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.

467.

If two angles of a triangle are 46° each, how can you classify the triangle?

Answer»

Given two angles of the triangle are same and is equal to 46°. If two angles are equal the sides opposite to equal angles are equal. Therefore it will be an isoscales triangle.

A circle is inscribed in ΔABC having sides 8 cm, 10 cm and 12 cm as shown in figure, Find AD, BE and CF.

Answer»

We know that the tangents drawn from are external point to a circle are equal.

Therefore AD = AF = x say.

BD = BE = y say and

CE = CF = z say

Now, AB = 12 cm, BC = 8 cm, and CA= 10 cm.

x + y = 12, y + z = 8 and z + x = 10

(x + y) + (y + z) + (z + x) = 12 + 8 + 10

2(x + y + z) = 30

x + y + z = 15

Now, x + y = 12 and x + y + z = 15

12 + z = 15 ⇒ z = 3

y + z = 8 and x + y + z = 15

x + 8 = 15 ⇒ x = 7

and z + x = 10 and x + y + z = 15

10 + y = 15 ⇒ y = 5

Hence, AD = x = 7 cm, BE = y = 5 cm and CF = z = 3 cm.

488.

In the adjacent figure, ABC is a right-angled triangle with right angle at B and points D, E trisect BC. Prove that 8AE2 = 3AC2 + 5AD2.

Answer»

Since D and E are the points of trisection of BC, therefore BD = DE = CE

Let BD = DE = CE = x

Then BE = 2x and BC = 3x

In right triangles ABD, ABE and ABC, (using Pythagoras theorem)

We have AD2 = AB2 + BD2

⇒ AD2 = AB2 + x2 … (1)

AE2 = AB2 + BE2

⇒ AB2 + (2x)2

⇒ AE2 = AB2 + 4x2 … (2)

And AC2 = AB2 + BC2 = AB2 + (3x)2

AC2 = AB2 + 9x2

Now 8 AE2 – 3 AC2 – 5 AD2 = 8 (AB2 + 4x2) – 3 (AB2 + 9x2) – 5 (AB2 + x2)

= 8AB2 + 32x2 – 3AB2 – 27x2 – 5AB2 – 5x2

= 0

∴ 8 AE2 – 3 AC2 – 5 AD2 = 0

8 AE2 = 3 AC2 + 5 AD2.

Hence it is proved.

Prove that in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the others two sides.

Answer»

Proof:

We are given a right triangle ABC right angled at B.

We need to prove that AC2 = AB2 + BC2

Let us draw BD ⊥ AC

Now, ΔADB ~ ΔABC

AD/AB = AB/AC (sides are proportional)

AD.AC = AB2 … (1)

Also, ΔBDC ~ ΔABC

CD/BC = BC/AC

CD.AC = BC2 … (2)

Adding (1) and (2)

AD.AC + CD.AC = AB2 + BC2

AC(AD + CD) = AB2 + BC2

AC.AC = AB2 + BC2

AC2 = AB2 + BC2
