Free The Triangle and Its Properties 02 Practice Test - 7th grade
Question 1
A
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.
True
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.
True
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
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 (180−x)∘, (180−y)∘, (180−z)∘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.
True
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.
True
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.
True
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?
Fig 1 and Fig 3 only
Fig 2 and Fig 3 only
Fig 1, Fig 2 and Fig 4 only
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.
