Access Answers to Maths NCERT Exemplar Solutions for Class 7 Chapter 12 Practical Geometry Symmetry and Visualising Solid Shapes

Exercise Page: 364

In each of the Questions 1 to 26, there are four options, out of which one is correct. Choose the correct one.

1. A triangle can be constructed by taking its sides as:

(a) 1.8 cm, 2.6 cm, 4.4 cm (b) 2 cm, 3 cm, 4 cm

(c) 2.4 cm, 2.4 cm, 6.4 cm (d) 3.2 cm, 2.3 cm, 5.5 cm

Solution:-

(b) 2 cm, 3 cm, 4 cm

From the rule, a triangle can be constructed when the sum of two sides is greater than the third side.

Consider the length of side 2 cm, 3 cm and 4 cm

2 + 3 = 5, 5 > 4

2 + 4 = 6, 6 > 3

3 + 4 = 7, 7 > 2

2. A triangle can be constructed by taking two of its angles as:

(a) 110o, 40o (b) 70o, 115o (c) 135o, 45o (d) 90o, 90o

Solution:-

(a) 110o, 40o

From the rule, sum of all angles of triangle is equal to 180o.

so, 110o + 40o = 150o

and the third angle = 30o
