Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution: –

(D) Two right angles.

Because the sum of all angles of right angles must be equal to 180o.

Q12Multiple choice

If the sum of two angles is equal to an obtuse angle, then which of the following is not possible?

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

(D) Two right angles.

Because, the sum of all angles of right angles must be equal to 180o.

The right-angle triangle does not contain an obtuse angle.

An obtuse angle is defined as an angle formed greater than 90o and less than 180o.

Q13Written answer

A polygon has prime number of sides. Its number of sides is equal to the sum of the two least consecutive primes. The number of diagonals of the polygon is

(A) 4 (B) 5 (C) 7 (D) 10

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

(B) 5

The two least consecutive prime numbers are 2 and 3

Sum of two numbers = 2 + 3 = 5

By using formula = n(n – 3)/2

= 5(5 – 3)/2

= (5 × 2)/2

= 10/2

= 5

Q16Written answer

In Fig. 2.13, PQ ⊥ RQ, PQ = 5 cm and QR = 5 cm. Then ∆ PQR is

(A) a right triangle but not isosceles

(B) an isosceles right triangle

(C) isosceles but not a right triangle

(D) neither isosceles nor right triangle

Worked solution

Solution:-

(B) an isosceles right triangle

From the question, it is given that, PQ ⊥ RQ, PQ = 5 cm and QR = 5 cm.

We know that, an isosceles triangle has two equal sides.

Therefore, the given ΔPQR is an isosceles right triangle.

In questions 17 to 31, fill in the blanks to make the statements true:

Worked solution

Solution:-

An angle greater than 180° and less than a complete angle is called a reflex angle.

Q18Written answer

The number of diagonals in a hexagon is ________.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

The number of diagonals in a hexagon is 9.

We know that a hexagon has 6 sides.

By using the formula, number of diagonals = n(n – 3)/2

= 6(6 – 3)/2

= 6(3)/2

= 18/2

= 9
