Question 11 Mark

If the altitude from one vertex of a triangle bisects the opposite side, then the triangle may be isosceles.

Answer

False.
Explanation:
Here the altitude from the vertex is also the perpendicular bisector of the opposite side.
The triangle must be isosceles and may be an equilateral triangle.

Question 31 Mark

Sum of the three angles of a triangle is 180°.

Answer

True.
Explanation:
According to the angle sum property of the triangle
In $\triangle\text{ABC}$
$\angle\text{A}+\angle\text{B}+\angle\text{C}=180^\circ$

Question 41 Mark

An exterior angle of a triangle is less than either of its interior opposite angles.

Answer

False.
Explanation:
According to the exterior angle property, an exterior angle of a equal to the sum of the two opposite interior angles.
In $\triangle\text{ABC}$
Let x be the exterior angle
So,
$\text{x}=\angle\text{CAB}+\angle\text{CBA}$
Now, if x is less than either of its interior opposite angles
$\text{x}<\angle\text{CAB}+\angle\text{CBA}$

Question 71 Mark

Sum of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side.

Answer

True.
Explanation :
Given $\triangle\text{ABC},$ extend BA to D such that AD = AC.
Now in $\triangle\text{DBC},$
$\angle\text{ADC} = \angle\text{ACD } $ [Angles opposite to equal sides are equal]
Hence $\angle\text{BCD} > \angle\text{BDC}$
That is BD > BC [The side opposite to the larger (greater) angle is longer]
⇒ AB + AD > BC
$\therefore$ AB + AC > BC [Since AD = AC)
Thus sum of two sides of a triangle is always greater than third side.

Question 91 Mark

If one angle of a triangle is obtuse, then it cannot be a right angled triangle.

Answer

True.
Explanation :
According to the angle sum property of the triangle In $\triangle\text{ABC}$ $\angle\text{A}+\angle\text{B}+\angle\text{C}=180^\circ$ Now, if a right angled triangle Then, $\angle\text{A}+\angle\text{B}+\angle\text{C}=180^\circ$ $90^\circ+\angle\text{B}+\angle\text{C}=180^\circ$ $\angle\text{B}+\angle\text{C}=90^\circ$ Also if one of the angle's is obtuse $\angle\text{B}+\angle\text{C}>90^\circ$ This is not possible. Thus, if one angle of a triangle is obtuse, then it cannot be a right angled triangle.

Question 121 Mark

Sum of any two sides of a triangle is greater than twice the median drown to the third side.

Answer

True.
Explanation :
Given: In triangle ABC, AD is the median drawn from A to BC. To prove: AB + AC > AD Construction: Produce AD to E so that DE = AD, Join BE. Proof: Now in $\triangle\text{ADC}$ and $\triangle\text{EDB},$ AD = DE (by const) DC = BD(as D is mid-point) $\angle\text{ADC}=\angle\text{EDB}$ $\big($vertically opp, $\angle\text{S}\big)$ Therefore, $\triangle\text{ABE}, \triangle\text{ADC}\cong\triangle\text{EDB}$ (by SAS) This gives, BE = AC. AB + BE > AE AB + AC > 2AD $\big(\therefore$ AD = DE and BE = AC$\big)$ Hence the sum of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the median drawn to the third side.

Question 141 Mark

All the angles of a triangle can be less than 60°.

Answer

False.
Explanation:
According to the angle sum property of the triangle In $\triangle\text{ABC}$ $\angle\text{A}+\angle\text{B}+\angle\text{C}=180^\circ$ Now, If all the three angles of a triangle is less than 60º Then, $\angle\text{A}+\angle\text{B}+\angle\text{C}<180^\circ$

Question 151 Mark

A triangle can have two right angles.

Answer

False.
Explanation :
According to the angle sum property of the triangle In $\triangle\text{ABC}$ $\angle\text{A}+\angle\text{B}+\angle\text{C}=180^\circ$ Now, if there are two right angles in the triangle Let $\angle\text{B}=\angle\text{C}=90^\circ$ Then, $\angle\text{A}+90^\circ+90^\circ=180^\circ$ $\angle\text{A}+180^\circ=180^\circ$ $\angle\text{A}=180^\circ-180^\circ$ $\angle\text{A}=0^\circ$ (This is not possible.)

Question 171 Mark

An exterior angle of a triangle is greater than the opposite interior angles.

Answer

True.
Explanation:
According to exterior angle theorem,
$\text{ext.x}=\angle\text{CAB}+\angle\text{CBA}$
Since, the exterior angle is the sum of its interior angels.
Thus,
$\text{ext.x}>\angle\text{CAB}$
$\text{ext.x}>\angle\text{CBA}$

Question 231 Mark

The measure of each angle of an equilateral triangle 60º.

Answer

True.
Explanation:
Since all the three angles of equilateral triangles are equal and sum of the three angles is 180º, each angle will be equal to $\frac{180^\circ}{3}=60^\circ.$
