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

Solution:-
(a) 110o, 40o
