Question 7.
Can a triangle be formed with the following sides? If yes, name the type of triangle.
(i) 8 cm, 6 cm, 4 cm
(ii) 10 cm, 8 cm, 5 cm
(iii) 6.2 cm, 1.3 cm, 3.5 cm
(iv) 6 cm, 6 cm, 4 cm
(v) 3.5 cm, 3.5 cm, 3.5 cm
(vi) 9 cm, 4 cm, 5 cm
Solution:
(i) 8 cm, 6 cm, 4 cm
Sum of smaller sides = 6 cm + 4 cm = 10 cm > 8 cm, third side
∴ Triangle can be formed with these sides
None of the sides is equal.
∴ Yes, it is a scalene triangle
(ii) 10 cm, 8 cm, 5 cm.
Sum of two smaller sides = 8 cm + 5 cm = 13 cm > 10 cm, third side
∴ Triangle can be formed
None of the sides is equal.
∴ Yes, it is a scalene triangle
(iii) 6.2 cm, 1.3 cm, 3.5 cm.
Here sum of two smaller sides = 1.3 cm + 3.5 cm = 4.8 cm < 6.2 cm, third side.
∴ No, The triangle cannot be formed
(iv) 6 cm, 6 cm, 4 cm
Sum of two smaller sides = 4 cm + 6 cm = 10 cm > 6 cm, third side.
∴ Triangle can be formed. Also two sides are equal.
∴ Yes, it is an isosceles triangle.
(v) 3.5 cm, 3.5cm, 3.5cm.
Here sum of two sides = 3.5 cm + 3.5 cm = 7 cm > 3.5 cm (Third side)
∴ Triangle can be formed.
Also, all three sides are equal.
∴ Yes, it is an equilateral triangle.
(vi) 9 cm, 4 cm, 5 cm.
Sum of two smaller sides = 4 cm + 5 cm = 9 cm (the third side).
∴ No, The triangle cannot be formed

Question 8.
Can a triangle be formed with the following angles? if yes, name the type of triangle.
(i) 60°, 60°, 60°
(ii) 90°, 55°, 35°
(iii) 60°, 40°, 42°
(iv) 60°, 90°, 90°
(v) 70°, 60°, 50°
(vi) 100°, 50°, 30°
Solution:
(i) 60°, 60°, 60°
Sum of three angles = 60° + 60° + 60° = 180°
Yes, a triangle can be formed.
∴ It is Acute angled triangle. [∵ all the angles < 90°]
(ii) 90°, 55°, 35°.
Sum of three angles = 90° + 55° + 55° = 180°
Yes, a triangle can be formed.
∴ It is a right-angled triangle, [∵ one angle is 90°]
(iii) 60°, 40°, 42°.
Sum of three angles = 60° + 40° + 42° = 142° ≠ 180°
No, The triangle cannot be formed.
(iv) 60°, 90°, 90°.
Sum of three angles = 60° + 90° + 90° = 240° ≠ 180°
∴ No, The triangle cannot be formed. [∵ one angle is > 90°]
(v) 70°, 60°, 50°.
Sum of three angles = 70° + 60° + 50° = 180°
Yes, A triangle can be formed.
∴ It is an acute-angled triangle.
(vi) 100°, 50°, 30°.
Sum of three angles = 100° + 50° + 30° = 180°
Yes, A triangle can be formed.
∴ It is an obtuse-angled triangle.
Question 9.
Two angles of the triangles are given. Find the third angle.
(i) 80°, 60°
(ii) 52°, 68°
(iii) 75°, 35°
(iv) 50°, 90°
(v) 120°, 30°
(vi) 55°, 85°
Solution:
(i) 80°, 60°
Sum of the two angles = 80° + 60° = 140°
We know that sum of three angles of a triangle = 180°
Third angle = 180° – 140° = 40°
(ii) 75°, 35°
In the triangle sum of two angles = 75° + 35° = 110°
In a triangle sum of three angles = 180°
Third angle = 180° – 110° = 70°
(iii) 52°, 68°
In a triangle sum of 3 angles = 180°
Here sum of two given angles = 52° + 68° = 120°
Third angle = 180° – 120° = 60°
(iv) 50°, 90°
In a triangle sum of three angles = 180°
Sum of two given angles = 50° + 90° = 140°
Third angle = 180° – 140° = 40°
(v) 120°, 30°
In a triangle sum of three angles = 180°
Sum of two given angles = 120° + 30° = 150°
Third angle = 180° – 150° = 30°
(vi) 55°, 85°
In a triangle sum of three angles = 180°
Sum of two given angles = 55° + 85° = 140°
Third angle = 180° – 140° = 40°
