$\begin{array}{l} 2\, \, cm,\, \, 3\, \, cm,\, \, 5\, \, cm \\ Not\, \, possible\, \, to\, \, construct\, \, at\, \, triangle\, \, because, \\ the\, \, sum\, \, of\, \, two\, \, sides\, \, is\, \, greater\, \, than\, \, { 3^{ rd } }\, \, side.\, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \end{array}$

Is it possible to construct a triangle $ABC$ in which $BC=8\ cm,\angle B=40^\circ$ and $AB=AC=3.5\ cm\ ?$

$\begin{array}{l} Given\, \, data\, \, are\, \, wrong \\ such\, \, \Delta \, \, is\, \, not\, \, possible\, \, because \\ AB+AC<BC \end{array}$

Try to construct a triangle with $5\ cm, 8\ cm$ and $1\ cm$ . Is it possible or not? Why?Give your justification?

Given

$a=5\ cm$

We have

$\displaystyle \frac{a}{\sin A}= \frac{b}{\sin B}$ or

$\displaystyle \sin B= \frac{b\sin A}{a}= \frac{8\sin 30^{\circ}}{7}=\frac{4}{7}$
Thus,we have,

$\displaystyle b> a > b\sin A$

Hence, angle B has two values given by

3. Taking C as centre with same distance and draw another arc.
4. Both the arcs intersect each other; name that point of intersection as A.
5. Required triangle ABC is drawn.

Area of

$\Delta$ ABC can be calculated using Heron's formula.

$s=\dfrac{5+6+6}{2}$

$=\dfrac{17}{2}cm$

Therefore, Area

$\triangle ABC=\sqrt{\dfrac{17}{2}(\dfrac{17}{2}-5)(\dfrac{17}{2}-6)(\dfrac{17}{2}-6)}$

$=\sqrt{{\dfrac{17}{2}\times \dfrac{7}{2}}\times \dfrac{5}{2}\times \dfrac{5}{2}}$

Now CD is the height

$h = \sqrt{5^2 - \left(\cfrac52\right)^2} = \cfrac{5\sqrt3}2 = 4.3\ cm$ of the triangle. Draw perpendicular bisector of CD to get DE = h/2.
Area of

$\Delta ABC = \dfrac{1}{2} \times AB \times h = AB \times \dfrac{h}{2}$
To draw a square of area

$AB \times (h/2)$ , the side of the square should be

$\sqrt{AB \times \dfrac{h}{2}} = \cfrac{5(3)^{\frac14}}{2} = 3.3\ cm$ .

A ladder is placed against a vertical tower. If the ladder makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the ground and reaches upto a height of $15 m$ of the tower; find length of the ladder.

${\textbf{Step 1: Draw a rough diagram from the given data.}}$

${\text{Let length of a ladder be}}$ $AB.$

$\angle ABC = {30^\circ }$ ${\text{and length of }}$ $AC = 15\text{ cm}$

${\textbf{Step 2: Use the sine formula to find height of a tower}}{\text{.}}$

${\text{As we know that,}}$

$Sin\theta = \dfrac{{{\text{Perpendicular}}}}{{{\text{Hypotenuse}}}}$

$\Rightarrow Sin{30^\circ } = \dfrac{{AC}}{{{\text{AB}}}}$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{{15}}{{AB}}$

$\Rightarrow AB = 30 \text{ cm}$

${\textbf{Hence, length of a ladder is 30}}$ $\mathbf{cm.}$

$3.$ Height of the triangle corresponding to the longest side.

REF. Image.

Consider,

$18^2+24^2$

$=324+576=900=30^2$

i.e.

$18^2+24^2=30^2$

Hence the given triangle is a right-angled triangle.

Hence,

(a) Area of

$\triangle ABC=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 18\times 24cm^2=216cm^2$

(b) Since

$AB\bot BC$ , height corresponding to shortest side

$AB$ , is

$BC=24cm$

$h$ we know, Area of

$\triangle =\dfrac{1}{2}\times base\times height$

$\Rightarrow ar(\triangle ABC)\dfrac{1}{2}\times 30\times h\,\,cm^2$

$\Rightarrow 216cm^2=15h\,\,cm$

$\Rightarrow h=14.4cm$

Construct a right angled triangle whose hypotenuse measure $6.5\ cm$ and one of its acute angle measure $60^{o}$

Steps to construct a right angle triangle whose hypotenuse and an angle are given:

1. Draw a line

$\Rightarrow AB$ is the hypotenuse.
Hence Let

Write down the method of constructing $\triangle ABC$ in which $AB=3\ cm$ and $BC=4\ cm,CA=3.5\ cm$

1. Draw a line from

$A$ to

$B$

$(AB=3\ cm$ ) using scale.

2. Now take a compass place it at

$B$ extend it with

$4\ cm$ and draw an arc.

3. Similarly place the compass at

$A$ and extend it till

$3.5\ cm$ and draw another arc which cuts previous arc.

4. Mark that point as

$'C'$ .

5. Now join the points

$BC$ and

$AC$ .

$\triangle ABC$ is formed.

Construct $\triangle ABC$ such that $AB=2.5\ cm,BC=6\ cm$ and $AC=6.5\ cm$ . Measure $\angle B$ .

$\rightarrow$ Draw a line segment

$BC = 6 cm$

$\rightarrow$ with 'B' as centre and

$2.5cm$ as radius draw an arc with compass.

$\rightarrow$ with 'C' as centre and radius

$6.5 cm$ radius, draw another arc.

$\rightarrow$ mark it as A wherever it intersects.

$\rightarrow$ Join

$AB \, \& \, AC$

$\therefore \Delta ABC$ is formed

On measuring,

$\angle B = 90^o$

Construct a $\triangle A B C$ in which $B C = 4.5 \mathrm { cm } , \angle B = 45 ^ { \circ }$ and $A B + A C = 8 \mathrm { cm }$ Justify your construction.

Justification:-

After drawing

$\Delta DBC$ with

$BC=4.5$ cm,

$\angle B=45^o$ and

$DB=8$ cm. The perpendicular bisector of DC is drawn and it intersects DB at A.

So, we get AC

$=$ AD

$=8$ cm

$\Rightarrow BA+AD=8$ cm

$\Rightarrow AB+AC=8$ cm

Hence

$\Delta ABC$ is the required triangle.

Construct an equilateral triangle each of whose sides measures $6.2\ cm$ Measure each one of its angles.

In an equilateral triangle all the sides as well as well as angles are equal if one of its side is

$6.2cm$ then ,

obviously all the sides are also equal and as we know that all the angles are also equal then

$\Rightarrow 3x=180$

$\Rightarrow x=\dfrac { { 180 } }{ 3 } ={ 60^{ 0 } }$

$\therefore x=60^0$

$\Rightarrow$

${105}^{o}+{40}^{o}+m\angle {QPR}={180}^{o}$

A ladder $3.7$ m long is placed against a wall in such a way that the foot of the ladder is $1.2$ m away from the wall. Find the height of the wall to which the ladder reaches.

Given:

$AC=3.7\space\mathrm{m}$ and

$BC=1.2\space\mathrm{m}$

Using the Pythagoras theorem, we get

$(AB)^2=(AC)^2-(BC)^2$

$\Rightarrow (AB)^2=(3.7)^2-(1.2)^2$

$\Rightarrow (AB)^2=13.69-1.44$

$\Rightarrow (AB)^2=12.25$

$\Rightarrow (AB)=\sqrt {12.25}$

$\Rightarrow AB=3.5$

$\therefore$ Height of the wall

Draw $\Delta ABC$ in which $BC=8$ cm, $\angle B=50^o$ and $\angle A=50^o$ .

Given,

$\angle ABC=50^o$ and

$\angle CAB=50^o$

Clearly,

$\angle A B C+\angle B C A+\angle C A B=180^{\circ}\quad$ [By angle sum property of triangle]

$\Rightarrow \angle B C A=180^{\circ}-\angle A B C-\angle C A B$

$\Rightarrow \angle B C A=180^{\circ}-50^{\circ}-50^{\circ}$

$\Rightarrow \angle B C A=180^{\circ}-100^{\circ}$

$\Rightarrow \angle BCA=80^{\circ}$

Steps of construction:

The hypotenuse of a triangle is $2.5$ cm. If one of the sides is $1.5$ cm, find the length of the other side.

By Pythagoras theorem, we know

$(\text{Hypotenuse})^2=(\text{Base})^2+(\text{Height})^2$

Here, Hypotenuse

$=2.5\space\mathrm{cm}$ and Base

$=1.5\space\mathrm{cm}$

So,

$c^2=a^2+b^2$

$\Rightarrow 2.5^2=1.5^2+b^2$

$\Rightarrow 6.25=2.25+b^2$

$\Rightarrow b^2=6.25-2.25$

$\Rightarrow b^2=4$

$\Rightarrow b=\sqrt 4$

$\Rightarrow b=2$

$\therefore$ Length of the other side

$=2\space\mathrm{cm}$

In right $\Delta ABC$ , the lengths of the legs are given. Find the length of the hypotenuse.
$a=2$ cm, $b=1.5$ cm.

By Pythagoras theorem, we know

$(\text{Hypotenuse})^2=(\text{Base})^2+(\text{Height})^2$

Here, Base

$=2\space\mathrm{cm}$ and Height

$=1.5\space\mathrm{cm}$

So,

$c^2=a^2+b^2$

$\Rightarrow c^2=2^2+1.5^2$

$\Rightarrow c^2=4+2.25$

$\Rightarrow c^2=6.25$

$\Rightarrow c=\sqrt {6.25}$

$\Rightarrow c=2.5$

$\therefore$ Hypotenuse

$=2.5\space\mathrm{cm}$

Construct a right triangle whose one side is $3.5\ cm$ and the sum of the other side and the hypotenuse is $5.5\ cm$ .

$BD=AB+AC=5.5\ cm$

Join the points

Construct the perpendicular bisector of

$CD$ which meets the line

Draw a line AB and take a point P outside it. Draw a line CD parallel to AB and passing through the point P.

Steps for construction,
1. Draw a line AB.
2. Take any point Q on AB and a point P outside AB and join PQ,
3. With Q as center and any radius draw an arc to cut AB at E and PQ at F.
4. With P as center and same radius draw an arc to cut QP at G.
5. With G as center and radius equal to EF, draw an arc to cut the previous arc at H.
6. Join PH and produce it on both sides to get the required line CD parallel to AB.

In right $\Delta ABC$ , the lengths of the legs are given. Find the length of the hypotenuse.
$a=8$ cm, $b=15$ cm.

By Pythagoras theorem, we know

$(\text{Hypotenuse})^2=(\text{Base})^2+(\text{Height})^2$

Here, Base

$=8\space\mathrm{cm}$ and Height

$=15\space\mathrm{cm}$

So,

$c^2=a^2+b^2$

$\Rightarrow c^2=8^2+15^2$

$\Rightarrow c^2=64+225$

$\Rightarrow c^2=289$

$\Rightarrow c=\sqrt 289$

$\Rightarrow c=17$

$\therefore$ Hypotenuse

$=17\space\mathrm{cm}$
