Free The Triangle and Its Properties 02 Practice Test - 7th grade 

Question 1

A __ connects a vertex of a triangle to the mid-point of the opposite side.

SOLUTION

Solution :

A median is line joining a vertex of a triangle to the mid-point of the opposite side.

Question 2

It is given that OBC is 90.
Then, B must be the midpoint of CE.

A.

True

B.

False

SOLUTION

Solution : B

A median connects a vertex of a triangle to the mid point of the opposite side.
An altitude is a perpendicular on one of the sides from the opposite vertex.
As OB is the altitude, B may or may not be the midpoint of CE.

Question 3

A triangle with all the three angles less than 60 degree is possible.

A.

True

B.

False

SOLUTION

Solution : B

A triangle with all the three angles less than 60 is not possible, as the sum of all the angles of a triangle is 180​.

Question 4

The sum of all the exterior angles of a triangle is ___  (in degrees)​.

SOLUTION

Solution :

Let the exterior angles of the triangle be x, y and z respectively.

Then by exterior angle property, interior angles of the triangle will be (180x)​, (180y)​​, (180z)​​

Using angle sum property of a triangle,

(180 - x) + (180 - y) + (180 - z) = 180

540 - (x + y + z) = 180

Therefore, x + y + z = 360

Question 5

A triangle with sides 2cm, 3cm and 5cm is possible.

A.

True

B.

False

SOLUTION

Solution : B

Sum of lengths of any two sides of a triangle should always be greater than the third side.

Here, 2 + 3 = 5
Therefore, this triangle is not possible.

Question 6

Consider the figure:

If A = 50​, B = 70​ and x = 2y, then x+y is equal to (in degrees) 


__

SOLUTION

Solution :

By Exterior angle property of triangles,
x + y = A + B
         = 50 + 70
         = 120

Question 7

The third side of a triangle must be greater than the difference between the other two sides.

A.

True

B.

False

SOLUTION

Solution : A

The third side of a triangle must be greater than the difference between the other two sides.

Question 8

Consider the figure:

Find the value of x + y + ACB.


___

SOLUTION

Solution :


x + y + ACB = 180  (Angles on a straight line)​

 

Question 9

The square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. This relation holds for all types of triangles.

A.

True

B.

False

SOLUTION

Solution : B

The square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. This relation holds only in right-angled triangles.

Question 10

Which of the following triangles are isosceles as well as obtuse-angled triangles?

A.

Fig 1 and Fig 3 only

B.

Fig 2 and Fig 3 only

C.

Fig 1, Fig 2 and Fig 4 only

D.

Fig 1, Fig 2 and Fig 3 only

SOLUTION

Solution : A

An obtuse angled triangle is the triangle in which one of the angles is greater than 90. 
An isosceles triangle is the triangle in which two sides are equal.
1. Fig 1:
ΔPQR  is isosceles [PQ=PR]
                          Q=R
[ angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle are equal]
P+Q+R  =180 
[angle sum property of a triangle]
P+25 +25 =180
P=180 50=130 
ΔPQR is an obtuse angled triangle as one of the angles measures 130°.
2. Fig 2:
ΔABC is isosceles [AB=AC]
Similarly as above, we can find the angles of this triangle.
A=35,B=C=72.5 
Since all angles are less than 90, ΔABC is an acute angled triangle.
3. Fig 3:
ΔXYZ is an isosceles as well as an obtuse angled triangle as angle Y measures 110°.
4. Fig 4:
ΔMNO is an isosceles as well as a right angled triangle.
Hence, only Fig 1 and Fig 3 are isosceles as well as obtuse angled triangles.
