1. Is it possible to have a triangle with the following sides?

(i) 2 cm, 3 cm, 5 cm

Solution:-

Clearly, we have:

(2 + 3) = 5

5 = 5

Thus, the sum of any two of these numbers is not greater than the third.

Hence, it is not possible to draw a triangle whose sides are 2 cm, 3 cm and 5 cm.

(ii) 3 cm, 6 cm, 7 cm

Solution:-

Clearly, we have:

(3 + 6) = 9 > 7

(6 + 7) = 13 > 3

(7 + 3) = 10 > 6

Thus, the sum of any two of these numbers is greater than the third.

Hence, it is possible to draw a triangle whose sides are 3 cm, 6 cm and 7 cm.

(iii) 6 cm, 3 cm, 2 cm

Solution:-

Clearly, we have:

(3 + 2) = 5 < 6

The sum of the length of any two sides is always greater than the third side.

Now consider the ΔABM,

Here, AB + BM > AM … [equation i]

Then, consider the ΔACM

Here, AC + CM > AM … [equation ii]

By adding equation [i] and [ii] we get,

AB + BM + AC + CM > AM + AM

From the figure we have, BC = BM + CM

AB + BC + AC > 2 AM

Hence, the given expression is true.

4. ABCD is a quadrilateral.

Is AB + BC + CD + DA > AC + BD?

NCERT Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapter 6 The Triangles and Its Properties Image 35

Solution:-

We know that,

The sum of the length of any two sides is always greater than the third side.

Now consider the ΔABC,

Here, AB + BC > CA … [equation i]

Then, consider the ΔBCD

Here, BC + CD > DB … [equation ii]

Consider the ΔCDA

Here, CD + DA > AC … [equation iii]

Consider the ΔDAB

Here, DA + AB > DB … [equation iv]

By adding equation [i], [ii], [iii] and [iv] we get,

AB + BC + BC + CD + CD + DA + DA + AB > CA + DB + AC + DB

2AB + 2BC + 2CD + 2DA > 2CA + 2DB

Take out 2 on both the side,

2(AB + BC + CA + DA) > 2(CA + DB)

AB + BC + CA + DA > CA + DB

Hence, the given expression is true.

5. ABCD is quadrilateral. Is AB + BC + CD + DA < 2 (AC + BD)

Solution:-

Let us consider ABCD is quadrilateral and P is the point where the diagonals are intersect. As shown in the figure below.

NCERT Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapter 6 The Triangles and Its Properties Image 36

We know that,

The sum of the length of any two sides is always greater than the third side.

Now consider the ΔPAB,

Then, consider the ΔPBC

Here, PB + PC < BC … [equation ii]

Consider the ΔPCD

Here, PC + PD < CD … [equation iii]

Consider the ΔPDA

Here, PD + PA < DA … [equation iv]

By adding equation [i], [ii], [iii] and [iv] we get,

PA + PB + PB + PC + PC + PD + PD + PA < AB + BC + CD + DA

2PA + 2PB + 2PC + 2PD < AB + BC + CD + DA

2PA + 2PC + 2PB + 2PD < AB + BC + CD + DA

2(PA + PC) + 2(PB + PD) < AB + BC + CD + DA

From the figure we have, AC = PA + PC and BD = PB + PD

Then,

2AC + 2BD < AB + BC + CD + DA

2(AC + BD) < AB + BC + CD + DA

Hence, the given expression is true.

6. The lengths of two sides of a triangle are 12 cm and 15 cm. Between what two measures should the length of the third side fall?

Solution:-

We know that,

The sum of the length of any two sides is always greater than the third side.

From the question, it is given that two sides of triangle are 12 cm and 15 cm.

So, the third side length should be less than the sum of other two sides,

12 + 15 = 27 cm.

Then, it is given that the third side is cannot not be less than the difference of the two sides, 15 – 12 = 3 cm

So, the length of the third side falls between 3 cm and 27 cm.


Exercise 6.5 Page: 130

1. PQR is a triangle, right-angled at P. If PQ = 10 cm and PR = 24 cm, find QR.

Solution:-

Let us draw a rough sketch of right-angled triangle

NCERT Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapter 6 The Triangles and Its Properties Image 37

By the rule of Pythagoras Theorem,

Pythagoras theorem states that for any right angled triangle, the area of the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the areas of square on the legs.

In the above figure RQ is the hypotenuse,

QR2 = PQ2 + PR2

QR2 = 102 + 242

QR2 = 100 + 576

QR2 = 676

QR = √676

QR = 26 cm

Hence, the length of the hypotenuse QR = 26 cm.

2. ABC is a triangle, right-angled at C. If AB = 25 cm and AC = 7 cm, find BC.

Solution:-

Let us draw a rough sketch of right-angled triangle

NCERT Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapter 6 The Triangles and Its Properties Image 38

By the rule of Pythagoras Theorem,

Pythagoras theorem states that for any right angled triangle, the area of the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the areas of square on the legs.

In the above figure RQ is the hypotenuse,

AB2 = AC2 + BC2

252 = 72 + BC2

625 = 49 + BC2

By transposing 49 from RHS to LHS it becomes – 49

BC2 = 625 – 49

BC2 = 576

BC = √576

BC = 24 cm

Hence, the length of the BC = 24 cm.

3. A 15 m long ladder reached a window 12 m high from the ground on placing it against a wall at a distance a. Find the distance of the foot of the ladder from the wall.

NCERT Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapter 6 The Triangles and Its Properties Image 39

Solution:-

By the rule of Pythagoras Theorem,

Pythagoras theorem states that for any right angled triangle, the area of the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the areas of square on the legs.

In the above figure RQ is the hypotenuse,

152 = 122 + a2

225 = 144 + a2

By transposing 144 from RHS to LHS it becomes – 144

a2 = 225 – 144

a2 = 81

a = √81

a = 9 m

Hence, the length of a = 9 m.

4. Which of the following can be the sides of a right triangle?

(i) 2.5 cm, 6.5 cm, 6 cm.

(ii) 2 cm, 2 cm, 5 cm.

(iii) 1.5 cm, 2cm, 2.5 cm.

In the case of right-angled triangles, identify the right angles.

Solution:-

(i) Let a = 2.5 cm, b = 6.5 cm, c = 6 cm

Let us assume the largest value is the hypotenuse side i.e. b = 6.5 cm.

Then, by Pythagoras theorem,

b2 = a2 + c2

6.52 = 2.52 + 62

42.25 = 6.25 + 36

42.25 = 42.25

The sum of square of two side of triangle is equal to the square of third side,

∴The given triangle is right-angled triangle.

Right angle lies on the opposite of the greater side 6.5 cm.

(ii) Let a = 2 cm, b = 2 cm, c = 5 cm

Let us assume the largest value is the hypotenuse side i.e. c = 5 cm.

Then, by Pythagoras theorem,

c2 = a2 + b2

52 = 22 + 22

25 = 4 + 4

25 ≠ 8

The sum of square of two side of triangle is not equal to the square of third side,

∴The given triangle is not right-angled triangle.

(iii) Let a = 1.5 cm, b = 2 cm, c = 2.5 cm

Let us assume the largest value is the hypotenuse side i.e. b = 2.5 cm.

Then, by Pythagoras theorem,

b2 = a2 + c2

2.52 = 1.52 + 22

6.25 = 2.25 + 4

6.25 = 6.25

The sum of square of two side of triangle is equal to the square of third side,

∴The given triangle is right-angled triangle.

Right angle lies on the opposite of the greater side 2.5 cm.

5. A tree is broken at a height of 5 m from the ground and its top touches the ground at a distance of 12 m from the base of the tree. Find the original height of the tree.

Tree top touches the ground at a distance of AC = 12 m from the base of the tree,

NCERT Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapter 6 The Triangles and Its Properties Image 40

By observing the figure we came to conclude that right angle triangle is formed at A.

From the rule of Pythagoras theorem,

BC2 = AB2 + AC2

BC2 = 52 + 122

BC2 = 25 + 144

BC2 = 169

BC = √169

BC = 13 m

Then, the original height of the tree = AB + BC

= 5 + 13

= 18 m

6. Angles Q and R of a ΔPQR are 25o and 65o.

Write which of the following is true:

(i) PQ2 + QR2 = RP2

(ii) PQ2 + RP2 = QR2

(iii) RP2 + QR2 = PQ2

NCERT Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapter 6 The Triangles and Its Properties Image 41

Solution:-

Given that ∠Q = 25o, ∠R = 65o

Then, ∠P =?

We know that sum of the three interior angles of triangle is equal to 180o.

∠PQR + ∠QRP + ∠RPQ = 180o

25o + 65o + ∠RPQ = 180o

90o + ∠RPQ = 180o

∠RPQ = 180 – 90

∠RPQ = 90o

Also, we know that side opposite to the right angle is the hypotenuse.

∴ QR2 = PQ2 + PR2

Hence, (ii) is true

From right angle triangle ABC, we have:

= AC2 = AB2 + BC2

= 412 = 402 + BC2

= BC2 = 412 – 402

= BC2 = 1681 – 1600

= BC2 = 81

= BC = √81

= BC = 9 cm

Hence, the perimeter of the rectangle plot = 2 (length + breadth)

Where, length = 40 cm, breadth = 9 cm

Then,

= 2(40 + 9)

= 2 × 49

= 98 cm

Let PQRS be a rhombus, all sides of rhombus has equal length and its diagonal PR and SQ are intersecting each other at a point O. Diagonals in rhombus bisect each other at 90o.

So, PO = (PR/2)

= 16/2

= 8 cm

And, SO = (SQ/2)

= 30/2

= 15 cm

Then, consider the triangle POS and apply the Pythagoras theorem,

PS2 = PO2 + SO2

PS2 = 82 + 152

PS2 = 64 + 225

PS2 = 289

PS = √289

PS = 17 cm

Hence, the length of side of rhombus is 17 cm

Now,

Perimeter of rhombus = 4 × side of the rhombus

= 4 × 17

= 68 cm

∴ Perimeter of rhombus is 68 cm.
