07. A Tale Of Three Intersecting Lines Chapter very short Questions answer

Q1: Can a triangle exist with side lengths 4 cm, 5 cm, and 10 cm? 

Ans: No.
Explanation: Apply the triangle inequality: 4 + 5 = 9 < 10, so the condition fails. A triangle cannot exist.

Q2: What is the third angle in a triangle with angles 35 degrees and 65 degrees? 

Ans: 80 degrees.
Explanation: The angle sum property gives: 
35° + 65° + Angle 3 = 180°. 
Thus, Angle 3 = 180° – 100° = 80°

Q3: Is a triangle with side lengths 7 cm, 7 cm, and 7 cm equilateral? 

Ans: Yes.
Explanation: All sides are equal (7 cm), so by definition, the triangle is equilateral.

Q4: Find the exterior angle at vertex B in triangle ABC if angle A = 40 degrees and angle C = 60 degrees. 

Ans: 100°.
Explanation: First, angle B = 180° – (40° + 60°) = 80°. 
The exterior angle at B is 180° – 80° = 100°.

Q5: If two sides of a triangle are 6 cm and 8 cm, what is the minimum integer length of the third side? 

Ans: 3 cm
Explanation:
 The triangle inequality requires 6 + x > 8, so x > 2. 
The smallest integer is 3 cm.

Q6: In triangle DEF, if angle D = 90 degrees and angle E = 45 degrees, what is angle F? 

Ans: 45°.
Explanation: Angle sum: 90°+ 45° + Angle F = 180°. 
Thus, Angle F = 180° – 135° = 45°.

Q7: Can a triangle have angles 50 degrees, 60 degrees, and 80 degrees? 

Ans: ​No
Explanation: Sum of angles:
 50 + 60 + 80 = 190 > 180, so a triangle cannot exist with these angles. 

Q8: What is the largest possible integer length of the third side in a triangle with sides 5 cm and 9 cm? 

Ans: 13 cm.
Explanation: Triangle inequality: 5 + 9 > x, so x < 14. 
The largest integer is 13 cm.

Q9 Classify a triangle with angles 30 degrees, 60 degrees, and 90 degrees by angle type. 

Ans: Right-angled.
Explanation: One angle is 90 degrees, so the triangle is right-angled.

Q10: In triangle XYZ, if angle X = angle Y and angle Z = 50 degrees, what is angle X? 

Ans: 65°.
Explanation: Since angle X = angle Y, let each be x. 
Angle sum: x + x + 50° = 180°. 
Thus, 2x = 130°
⇒ x = 65°.
