We know that ,
The sum of the two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side.
∴ 5 + x > 9
⇒ x > 9 – 5
⇒ x > 4Correct Option: D

As per the given in question , we draw a figure triangle ABC
Let Angles of triangle = y°, 2y° and 3y°
∴ y + 2y + 3y = 180°
⇒ 6y = 180°
⇒ y = 30°
∴ Angles of triangle = 30°, 60° and 90°
∠ABC = 90°
∠BAC = 30°
∴ BC = 10 cm.cos60° = BC AC
Correct Option: A

∴ BC = 10 cm.cos60° = BC AC ⇒ 1 = 10 2 AC
⇒ AC = 20 cm.
- In ∆ ABC, the height CD intersects AB at D. The mid-points of AB and BC are P and Q respectively. If AD = 8 cm and CD = 6 cm, then the length of PQ is

On the basis of question we draw a figure of triangle ABC ,
From ∆ ACD,
Given , AD = 8 cm.
CD = 6 cm.
∠CDA = 90°
∴ AC = √AD² + DC²
AC = √8² + 6²
AC = √64 + 36
AC = √100 = 10 cm
The straight line joining the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and half of third side.Correct Option: D

As we know that the sum of two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side.
Clearly,
(8 + 15) > 17
(15 + 17) > 8
(8 + 17) > 15Correct Option: B
