An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles
So in the given figure 
110o = 50o + x 
110o - 50o = x 
60o = x 
So option B is correct answer. 

Can you explain the answer of this question below:
How many medians a triangle can have?
A:1
B:2
C:3
D:none of these
The answer is C.

Sneha Khanna answered
In geometry, a median of a triangle is a line segment joining a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side, thus bisecting that side. Every triangle has exactly three medians, one from each vertex, and they all intersect each other at the triangle's centroid.

  • a)
    60°
  • b)
    50°
  • c)
    120°
  • d)
    70°

x deg = 120 deg .
So option C is the correct answer. 

In ΔPQR, PD is
  • a)
    Altitude
  • b)
    Bisector
  • c)
    side
  • d)
    Median

Median is a line joining the vertex and middle of the opposite side, and hence dividing the triangle in two equal parts. So PD is the median.

  • a)
    50°
  • b)
    60°
  • c)
    180°
  • d)
    120°

Geetika Shah answered
The vertex opposite to side RT is S.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the given question,
We have a triangle RST which has sides RS, ST and TR.
We know that a triangle consists three vertices and three sides each of which is particularly opposite to any one of the side of the triangle and vice-versa.
Therefore, we can see here that in the triangle RST.
The side RS is opposite to the vertex T.
The side ST is opposite to the vertex R.
and,
The side TR is opposite to the vertex S.
Hence, the correct answer will be S as side RT is opposite to S.

Definition:
- An equilateral triangle is a polygon with three sides of equal lengths.
- Each internal angle of an equilateral triangle measures 60 degrees.

Key Points:
1. Equal Side Lengths: In an equilateral triangle, all three sides have the same length. This characteristic distinguishes it from other types of triangles.
2. Symmetry: Due to its equal side lengths, an equilateral triangle possesses symmetry. It can be folded along any of its medians, resulting in all three sides overlapping perfectly.
3. Regular Polygon: An equilateral triangle is the simplest form of a regular polygon. Regular polygons have all sides and angles equal.
4. Interior Angles: The interior angles of an equilateral triangle are all equal to 60 degrees. This means that when the angles are added together, they sum up to 180 degrees.
5. Exterior Angles: The exterior angles of an equilateral triangle are each equal to 120 degrees. The exterior angle is the supplementary angle to the interior angle.

Usage and Application:
- Equilateral triangles are used in various fields of study, including mathematics, art, and engineering.
- In mathematics, equilateral triangles serve as a basis for understanding geometric principles and properties.
- In art, equilateral triangles are often used to create symmetrical and balanced compositions.

Dipanjan Goyal answered
The sum of the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees. As the ratio of the angles of the triangle is 4:5:9 they can be taken to be 4x, 5x and 9x. 4x + 5x + 9x = 180
=> 18x = 180
=> x = 10
This gives the angles of the triangle as 40, 50 and 90 degrees.

Understanding the Triangle Inequality Theorem

The statement in the question refers to the Triangle Inequality Theorem, which states that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is always greater than the length of the third side. This theorem is a fundamental concept in geometry and is applicable to all types of triangles, including equilateral, isosceles, and scalene triangles.

Explanation of the Triangle Inequality Theorem

To understand why the sum of the lengths of any two sides is greater than the length of the third side, we need to consider the possible scenarios that can occur when constructing a triangle.

Scenario 1: The sum of the lengths of two sides is equal to the length of the third side
In this scenario, when the sum of the lengths of two sides of a triangle is equal to the length of the third side, the three sides are said to be in a straight line, and the triangle is called a degenerate triangle. In such a case, the triangle collapses into a line segment, and it is not considered a valid triangle.

Scenario 2: The sum of the lengths of two sides is less than the length of the third side
In this scenario, when the sum of the lengths of two sides is less than the length of the third side, it is impossible to construct a triangle. When we try to connect the two shorter sides, they will not meet to form a closed figure.

Scenario 3: The sum of the lengths of two sides is greater than the length of the third side
In this scenario, when the sum of the lengths of two sides is greater than the length of the third side, it is possible to construct a triangle. When we try to connect the two shorter sides, they will meet to form a closed figure, and all three sides will be connected.

Conclusion

Based on the Triangle Inequality Theorem, we can conclude that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is always greater than the length of the third side. This theorem is essential in determining whether a given set of side lengths can form a valid triangle or not. Therefore, option 'A' - greater than, is the correct answer.

Mrinalini Shah answered
In ΔAEB, 

 ∠A=∠DAE+∠BAD ⇒ ∠A=60o+90o=15
And,  AE=AB ⇒ ∠ABE=∠AEB  
[Angles opposite to equal sides are equal]
Now, ∠A+∠ABE+∠AEB=180  (Angle sum property) 
⇒ 2∠AEB=180−150= 30o ⇒ ∠AEB = 15 
Now, ∠E=60⇒ ∠DEF=60o−15= 45
∴ In ΔEFD, ∠DEF+∠EDF+∠EFD
= 180⇒ 45o+60o+y = 180
⇒ y = 180o−(45o+60o) = 75o

Find angle x in
  • a)
    60°
  • b)
    160°
  • c)

Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Sum of interior opposite angles = Exterior angle
or 50° + x = 110°
or x = 60°

Understanding the Right-Angled Triangle
In a right-angled triangle, if the two legs are equal, we can refer to them as 'x'. According to the Pythagorean theorem, the relationship between the legs and the hypotenuse is given by:
- Hypotenuse² = Leg₁² + Leg₂²
Since both legs are equal:
- Hypotenuse² = x² + x²
- Hypotenuse² = 2x²
Given Information
We know that the square of the hypotenuse is 100 square units:
- 2x² = 100
Solving for x
To find the length of each leg, follow these steps:
1. Divide both sides by 2:
- x² = 100 / 2
- x² = 50
2. Now, take the square root of both sides to find 'x':
- x = √50
- x = √(25 * 2)
- x = 5√2
Conclusion
Thus, the length of each leg of the triangle is 5√2 units. Therefore, the correct answer is:
Option 'B': 5√2 units

Kunal Mehra answered
∠KLO = ∠MLN 
∴ ∠MLN = 70o in ∠LMN
Also, 
∠MLN+∠LNM+∠LMN = 180(Angle sum property) 
⇒ 70o+∠LNM+50o=180o
 
⇒ ∠LNM = 180o−(70o+50o) = 60o

  • c)
    (i) right, (ii) isosceles, (iii) equilateral 
  • d)
    (i) equilateral, (ii) scalene, (iii) isosceles
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

(i) PQ = 5 cm, PR = 6 cm and QR = 7 cm
PQ ≠ PR ≠ QR
Thus, ∆PQR is a scalene triangle.
(ii) AB = 4 cm, AC = 4 cm, BC = 4.5 cm
AB = AC ≠ 4.5 cm
Thus, ∆ABC is an isosceles triangle.
(iii) MN = 3 cm, ML = 3 cm and NL = 3 cm
MN = ML = NL
Thus, ∆MNL is an equilateral triangle.

  • c)
    12o             
  • d)
    32o    
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Anmol Iyer answered
Since ABC is an equilateral triangle. 
∴ ∠CAB =∠ABC =∠BCA = 60 
And ∠DBA = ∠DAB = (60o−x) 
[∵ DA = DB] 
In ΔDAB, ∠DBA+∠DAB+∠ADB =180  (Angle sum Property)
⇒ 2(60o−x)+88= 180o 
⇒ 2(60o−x) = 92o
⇒ 60o−x = 46⇒ x = 14o

In ΔABC, AC = BC and ∠C = 110°. Find ∠A and ∠B.
  • a)
    35°
  • b)
    75°
  • c)
    45°
  • d)
    105°
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

In given ΔABC, ∠C = 110°
Let ∠A = ∠B = x° (Angle opposite to equal sides of a triangle are equal)
x + x + 110° = 180° (Sum of all angles in a triangle is 180°)
⇒ 2x + 110° = 180°
⇒ 2x = 180° – 110°
⇒ 2x = 70°
⇒ x = 35°
Thus, ∠A = ∠B = 35°
