(Hint: Recall angle-sum property of a triangle).

Solution:-

NCERT Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapter 10 Practical Geometry Image 12

We know that the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180o.

∴ ∠PQR + ∠QRP + ∠RPQ = 180o

= 105o+ 40o+ ∠RPQ = 180o

= 145o + ∠RPQ = 180o

= ∠RPQ = 180o– 1450

= ∠RPQ = 35o

Hence, the measures of ∠RPQ is 35o.

Steps of construction:

1. Draw a line segment PQ = 5 cm.

2. At point P, draw a ray L to making an angle of 105o i.e. ∠LPQ = 35o.

3. At point Q, draw a ray M to making an angle of 40o i.e. ∠MQP = 105o.

4. Now the two rays PL and QM intersect at the point R.

Then, ΔPQR is the required triangle.

3. Examine whether you can construct ΔDEF such that EF = 7.2 cm, m∠E = 110° and

m∠F = 80°. Justify your answer.

Solution:-

From the question it is given that,

EF = 7.2 cm

∠E = 110o

∠F = 80o

Now we have to check whether it is possible to construct ΔDEF from the given values.

We know that the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180o.

Then,

∠D + ∠E + ∠F = 180o

∠D + 110o+ 80o= 180o

∠D + 190o = 180o

∠D = 180o– 1900

∠D = -10o

We may observe that the sum of two angles is 190o is greater than 180o. So, it is not possible to construct a triangle.

3. With R as a center and radius 10 cm, draw an arc that cuts the ray QY at P.

4. Join PR.

Then, ΔPQR is the required right angled triangle.

Solution:-

Let us consider ΔABC is a right angled triangle at ∠B = 90o

Then,

AC is hypotenuse = 6 cm … [given in the question]
