Question 4

Two angles of a triangle are equal and the third angle is greater than each of those angles by 30o. Determine all the angles of the triangle.Solution 4

Question 5

Solution 5

Question 6

Can a triangle have:

(i) Two right angles?

(ii) Two obtuse angles?

(iii) Two acute angles?

(iv) All angles more than 60o?

(v) All angles less than 60o?

(vi) All angles equal to 60o?

Justify your answer in each case.Solution 6

(i) No

As two right angles would sum up to 180o, and we know that the sum of all three angles of a triangle is 180o, so the third angle will become zero. This is not possible, so a triangle cannot have two right angles.

(ii) No

A triangle cannot have 2 obtuse angles, since then the sum of those two angles will be greater than 180which is not possible as the sum of all three angles of a triangle is 180o.

(iii) Yes

A triangle can have 2 acute angles.

(iv) No

The sum of all the internal angles of a triangle is 180o. Having all angles more than 60o will make that sum more than 180o, which is impossible.

(v) No

The sum of all the internal angles of a triangle is 180o. Having all angles less than 60o will make that sum less than 180o, which is impossible.

(vi) Yes


The sum of all the internal angles of a triangle is 180o.  So, a triangle can have all angles as 60o. Such triangles are called equilateral triangles.Question 7

rightwards double arrow 3 straight x space equals space 180 to the power of 0
rightwards double arrow straight x space equals space 60 to the power of 0
Since space straight x space space equals space 60 to the power of 0
open parentheses straight x minus 10 to the power of 0 close parentheses space equals space 60 to the power of 0 minus 10 to the power of 0 equals 50 to the power of 0
open parentheses straight x plus 10 to the power of 0 close parentheses space equals space 60 to the power of 0 plus 10 to the power of 0 equals 70 to the power of 0
