Q.3. If one angle of a triangle is 60° and the other two angles are in the ratio 1: 2, then find the angles.
Ans.
Given one angle of the triangle is 60°, and the other two angles are in the ratio 1:2, let the angles be x and 2x.
The sum of the angles in a triangle is 180°:
x + 2x + 60° = 180°
Simplifying:
3x = 120°
Dividing by 3:
x = 40°
Thus, the angles of the triangle are 60°, 40°, and 80°.
Q.4. In figure find the value of ∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D + ∠E + ∠F
Ans.
In the given star-shaped figure, the angles at the vertices (∠A, ∠B, ∠C, ∠D, ∠E, ∠F) are formed by intersecting lines. The sum of the angles around a point in any polygon is 360°.
Thus, the value of ∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D + ∠E + ∠F is 360°.
Q.5. Two poles of 8m and 14m stand upright on a plane ground. If the distance between the two tops is 10m.
Find the distance between their feet.
Ans.
The height difference between the two poles is 14m - 8m = 6m. Using the Pythagorean theorem:
(Base)² + (Height Difference)² = (Distance Between Tops)²
Let the base be x. So,
x² + 6² = 10²
x² + 36 = 100
x² = 64, therefore x = 8m.
The distance between their feet is 8 meters.
Q.6. Mohini walks 1200m due East and then 500m due North. How far is she from her starting point?
Ans.
Mohini walks 1200m east and then 500m north. This forms a right-angled triangle, where the horizontal distance is 1200m, and the vertical distance is 500m.
Using the Pythagorean theorem:
Distance² = (1200)² + (500)²
Distance² = 1440000 + 250000
Distance² = 1690000
Taking the square root:
Distance = √1690000 = 1300m
So, Mohini is 1300 meters away from her starting point.
Q.7. Find the value of x and y. (i) Here CD || AB
(ii)
(iii)
(iv)
Ans. (i)
x = 70° (Corresponding Angle)
70° + 40° + y = 180°
So, x = 180° - 110° = 70°.
Hence, x = 70° , y = 70°
(ii)
x + 60° = 180° (Linear Pair)x = 180 - 60° x = 120°
y + 50° = 120° (Exterior Angle Property)
So, y = 120° - 50° = 70°.
Thus, y = 70° and x = 120°.
(iii) x =50° + 30° = 80° (Exterior Angles Property)
In Triangle PQR, 30° + 45° + ∠Q = 180° (Angle sum property)
∠Q = 180° - 75° = 105°
∠Q = 105°
In Triangle QSP,
80° + 45° + ∠SQP = 180° (Angle sum property)
125° + ∠SQP = 180°
∠SQP = 180° - 125° = 55°
50° + 55° + y = 180°
y = 180° - 105° = 75°
x = 80° , y = 75°
(iv) x = 80° (Vertically Opposite angle)
y + 50° + 80° = 180° (Angle sum property)
y = 180° - 130° = 50°
x = 80°, y = 50°
Q.8. Find the value of x :
(i)
(ii)
(iii)
(iv)
Ans. (i)
Given angles: 3x°, 2x°, and x°.
Using the angle sum property of a triangle:
3x° + 2x° + x° = 180°6x° = 180°x = 180° / 6 = 30°
(ii)
(iii)
(iv)
Given angles: 30°, 122°, and x°.
Using the angle sum property of a triangle:30° + 122° + x° = 180°
Simplifying:152° + x° = 180°
Now, subtract 152° from both sides:x° = 180° - 152° = 28°
Thus, the value of x is 28°
Q.9. ABC is an equilateral triangle with side a. AD is an altitude. Find the value of AD2.
Ans. AD2 =

Ans. (i) False
(ii) True
(iii) False
(iv) False
