Exercise 4.1

1. Fill in the blanks:
a) Every triangle has at least two acute angles.
b) A triangle in which none of the sides equal is called a Scalene triangle.
c) In an isosceles triangle two angles are equal.
d) The sum of three angles of a triangle is 180°.
e) A right angled triangle with two equal sides is called Isosceles right angled triangle.
2. Match the following:
(i) No sides are equal− Isosceles triangle
(ii) One right angle− Scalene triangle
(iii) One obtuse angle− Right angled triangle

Answer:
(i) No sides are equal − Scalene triangle
(ii) One right angle − Right angled triangle
(iii) One obtuse angle − Obtuse angled triangle
(iv) Two sides of equal length − Isosceles triangle
(v) All sides are equal − Equilateral triangle

7. Triangle Inequality Check:
Can a triangle be formed with the following sides? If yes, name the type of triangle.
(i) 8 cm, 6 cm, 4 cm: Yes (6+4=10>8), Scalene triangle.
(ii) 10 cm, 8 cm, 5 cm: Yes (8+5=13>10), Scalene triangle.
(iii) 6.2 cm, 1.3 cm, 3.5 cm: No (1.3+3.5=4.8 < 6.2).
(iv) 6 cm, 6 cm, 4 cm: Yes (6+4=10>6), Isosceles triangle.
(v) 3.5 cm, 3.5 cm, 3.5 cm: Yes, Equilateral triangle.
(vi) 9 cm, 4 cm, 5 cm: No (4+5=9, not greater than 9).
8. Angle Sum Check:
Can a triangle be formed with the following angles? If yes, name the type.
(i) 60°, 60°, 60°: Yes (Sum=180°), Acute angled triangle.
(ii) 90°, 55°, 35°: Yes (Sum=180°), Right angled triangle.
(iii) 60°, 40°, 42°: No (Sum=142°).
(iv) 60°, 90°, 90°: No (Sum=240°).
(v) 70°, 60°, 50°: Yes (Sum=180°), Acute angled triangle.
(vi) 100°, 50°, 30°: Yes (Sum=180°), Obtuse angled triangle.
9. Missing Angle Calculation:
Two angles are given. Find the third angle.
(i) 80°, 60°: 180° - 140° = 40°
(ii) 75°, 35°: 180° - 110° = 70°
(iii) 52°, 68°: 180° - 120° = 60°
(iv) 50°, 90°: 180° - 140° = 40°
(v) 120°, 30°: 180° - 150° = 30°
(vi) 55°, 85°: 180° - 140° = 40°
10. I am a closed figure with each of my three angles is 60° . Who am I?
I am an equilateral triangle.
