                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum 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: DWe know that , 
 The sum of the two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side.
 ∴ 5 + x > 9
 ⇒ x > 9 – 5
 ⇒ x > 4
 ∴ Required answer = 5
-  If the measures of the angles of a triangle are in the ratio. 1 : 2 : 3 and if the length of the smallest side of the triangle is 10 cm, then the length of the longest side is

                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum 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: AAs 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 ⇒ 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

                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum 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: DOn the basis of question we draw a figure of triangle ABC ,

 The straight line joining the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and half of third side.∴ PQ = 1 AC = 10 = 5cm. 2 2 
-  The lengths of three line segments are given. Is construction of a triangle possible with the segments in the given cases?
 
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum 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: BAs 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) > 15
 Therefore , Triangle possible segments are 8 cm, 15 cm and 17 cm .
