FAQs on Triangle and its Angles- 1 RD Sharma Solutions - Mathematics (Maths) Class 9

1. What is the sum of the angles in a triangle?
Ans. The sum of the angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees. This is a fundamental property of triangles, and it holds true for all types of triangles, whether they are equilateral, isosceles, or scalene.
2. How do you find the measure of an angle in a triangle?
Ans. To find the measure of an angle in a triangle, you need to have information about the other two angles. If you know the measures of two angles in a triangle, you can subtract their sum from 180 degrees to find the measure of the third angle. For example, if one angle measures 40 degrees and another angle measures 60 degrees, the measure of the third angle would be 180 - (40 + 60) = 80 degrees.
3. Are the angles of an equilateral triangle always equal?
Ans. Yes, the angles of an equilateral triangle are always equal. Since an equilateral triangle has three congruent sides, it also has three congruent angles. Each angle in an equilateral triangle measures 60 degrees. This property holds true for all equilateral triangles.
4. Can a triangle have two right angles?
Ans. No, a triangle cannot have two right angles. The sum of the angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees, and if two angles are already right angles (each measuring 90 degrees), the third angle would have to be 180 - (90 + 90) = 0 degrees. However, a 0-degree angle is not possible in a triangle.
5. What is the difference between an acute triangle and an obtuse triangle?
Ans. An acute triangle is a triangle in which all three angles are less than 90 degrees. In contrast, an obtuse triangle is a triangle that has one angle greater than 90 degrees. The other two angles in an obtuse triangle are always acute angles, meaning they are less than 90 degrees.
