Can you construct ∆ABC with AB = 4 cm, BC = 5 cm and CA =10 cm? Why? Justify your answer.
Answer:
Given sides of a ∆ABC are AB = 4 cm, BC = 5 cm and CA =10 cm.
In any triangle sum of any two sides is always greater than the third side.
AB + BC = 4 cm + 5 cm = 9 cm <10 cm.
Sum of AB + BC < AC
So, with the given measurements construction of ∆ABC is not possible.

Question 1.
Construct the triangle with the measurements of AB = 7cm, ∠B = 60° and ∠C = 70°.
Answer:
Given measurements of ∆ABC are AB = 7 cm, ∠B = 60° and ∠C = 70°.
In ∆ABC, ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
∠A + 60° + 70° = 180° .
∠A + 130° = 180°
∠A = 180° – 130° = 50°
Steps of Construction:
- Draw a rough sketch of triangle and label it with given measurements.
- Draw a line segment with AB = 7 cm.
- Draw a ray BY such that ABY = 60°.
- Draw another ray AX such that BAX = 50°.
- Name the intersecting of rays AX and BY is C.
Hence, required ∆ABC is constructed with the given measurements.

Construct a triangle with angles 100°, 95° and a side of length of your choice. Can1 you construct the triangle?
Answer:
No. It is not possible. We know that the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180°.
But, given two angles are 100° and 95°. Their sum is greater than 180°.
So, we cannot construct the triangle.
Examples:
Question 1.
Construct ∆ABC with slides AB = 6 cm, BC = 4 cm and AC = 5 cm.
Answer:
Question 2.
Construct ∆EFD with the measurements ∠F = 70°, EF = 4 cm and FD = 5 cm.
Answer:
Question 3.
Construct ∆ABC with AB = 6 cm, BC = 7 cm, ∠BAC = 80°.
Answer:
- Step-1: Draw a rough sketch of ∆ABC and label it with the given measurements.
- Step-2: Draw a line segment AB of length 6 cm.
- Step-3: Draw a ray AX such that ∠BAX = 80°.
- Step-4: Draw an arc with center B and radius 7 cm to Intersect the ray AX at C.
- Step-5: Join B and C to get the required ∆ABC.
Question 4.

Answer:
- Step-1: Draw a rough sketch of ∆XYZ and label it with given measurements.
- Step-2: Draw a line segment with XY = 4 cm.
- Step-3: Draw a ray YP such that ∠XYP = 90°.
- Step-4: Draw an arc with center X and radius 6.5 cm to intersect the Ray YP at Z.
- Step-5: Join X and Z to get the required ∆XYZ.
Question 5.

Answer:
- Step-1: Draw a rough sketch of the triangle and label it with given measurements.
- Step-2: Draw a line segment with PE = 7 cm,
- Step-3: Draw a ray PX such that ∠EPX = 60°.
- Step-4: Draw another ray EY such that ∠PEY = 25°.
- Step-5: Rays PX and EY intersect each other at N.
Hence, we get the required ∆PEN.
(If necessary, extend the rays to form a triangle.)
Question 6.
Construct ∆MPC the triangle with the measurements MP = 4 cm, ∠P = 45° arid ∠C = 80°.
Answer:
Now we have to find out the third angle.
We know that the sum of three angles in a triangle is 1800.
So, ∠M + ∠P + ∠C = 180°
⇒ ∠M + 450 + 80° = 180°
⇒ ∠M + 125° = 180°
⇒ ∠M = 180 – 125 = 55°
- Step-1: Draw a rough sketch of the triangle and label it with given measurements.
- Step-2: Draw a line segment with MP = 4 cm.
- Step-3: Draw a ray MX such that ∠PMX = 55°.
- Step-4: Draw another ray PY such that ∠MPY = 45°.
- Step-5: Rays MX and PY intersect each other at C. (If necessary extend the rays to ‘ form a triangle.)
Hence, we get the required ∆MPC.
Verification: By using the protractor and check whether ∠C is equal to 80° or not.

(d) 15
Answer:
(b) 13
Explanation:
Formula to count number of triangles = 4n + 1

Question 10.
(a) 56
(b) 48
(c) 32
(d) 60
Answer:
(b) 48
Explanation:
Formula to count number of triangles = \(\frac{\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{n}+2)(2 \mathrm{n}+1)}{8}\)
Where n = number of the angles formed in a side
Here in the given figure n = 5
Number of triangles = \(\frac{5(5+2)(2 \times 5+1)}{8}=\frac{5 \times 7 \times 11}{8}\) = 48.1
So, the total number of triangles = 48.
