Question 65 Marks
In $\triangle ABC, m\angle A = 60^\circ, m\angle B = 40^\circ, l(AC) = 6\ cm.$ (Textbook pg. no. $5$)
1. Can you draw $\triangle ABC?$
2. What further information is required before it can be drawn?
3. Which property can be used to get it?
4. Draw the rough figure to find out.
Answer
1. $\triangle \mathrm{ABC}$ cannot be drawn using the given information.
Seg $A C$ is included inside the angles $\angle A$ and $\angle C$. Since measure of $\angle C$ is not known, the triangle cannot be drawn.
2. To draw the triangle, measure of $\angle C$ is required.
3. The property of sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle can be used to find out $\mathrm{m} \angle \mathrm{C}$.
4. In $\triangle \mathrm{ABC}$
$ \mathrm{m} \angle \mathrm{A}+\mathrm{m} \angle \mathrm{B}+\mathrm{m} \angle \mathrm{C}=180^{\circ}$
$\therefore 60^{\circ}+40^{\circ}+\mathrm{m} \angle \mathrm{C}=180^{\circ}$
$\therefore 100^{\circ}+\mathrm{m} \angle \mathrm{C}=180^{\circ}$
$\mathrm{m} \angle \mathrm{C}=180^{\circ}-100^{\circ}$
$\therefore \mathrm{m} \angle \mathrm{C}=80^{\circ} $
