NCERT Solutions for Exercise 7.4 Class 9 Maths Chapter 7 - Triangles

Edited By Safeer PP | Updated on Jul 18, 2022 02:34 PM IST

Exercise 7.4 Class 9 Maths deals with problems related to the relationship between the triangle's unequal sides and the angles on the opposite side. When two triangle sides are unequal, the angle opposite to the bigger side(longest side) is larger.

Triangle disparity: The sum of the lengths of any two triangle sides should be always greater than the length of the third side. In any triangle, the side opposite to the bigger angle is longer. Exercise 7.4 Class 9 Maths incorporates the outline of all activities and their application. Thus, we need to go through the outline of the part. At the point when two figures have the same (and exact) shape and size, they are supposed to be congruent.

Triangles Class 9 Chapter 7 Exercise: 7.4

Q1 Show that in a right-angled triangle, the hypotenuse is the longest side.

Answer:

Consider a right-angled triangle ABC with right angle at A.

We know that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180.

So, $\angle A\ +\ \angle B\ +\ \angle C\ =\ 180^{\circ}$

or $90^{\circ}\ +\ \angle B\ +\ \angle C\ =\ 180^{\circ}$

or $\angle B\ +\ \angle C\ =\ 90^{\circ}$

Hence $\angle B$ and $\angle C$ are less than $\angle A$ ( $90^{\circ}$ ).

Also, the side opposite to the largest angle is also the largest.

Hence the side BC is largest is the hypotenuse of the $\Delta ABC$ .

Hence it is proved that in a right-angled triangle, the hypotenuse is the longest side.

Q2 In Fig, sides AB and AC of $\small \Delta ABC$ are extended to points P and Q respectively. Also, $\small \angle PBC < \angle QCB$ . Show that $\small AC> AB$ .

1640157763824

Answer:

We are given that,

$\small \angle PBC < \angle QCB$ ......................(i)

Also, $\angle ABC\ +\ \angle PBC\ =\ 180^{\circ}$ (Linear pair of angles) .....................(ii)

and $\angle ACB\ +\ \angle QCB\ =\ 180^{\circ}$ (Linear pair of angles) .....................(iii)

From (i), (ii) and (iii) we can say that :

$\angle ABC\ > \ \angle ACB$

Thus $AC\ > AB$ ( Sides opposite to the larger angle is larger.)

Q3 In Fig., $\small \angle B <\angle A$ and $\small \angle C <\angle D$ . Show that $\small AD <BC$ .

1640157791848

Answer:

In this question, we will use the property that sides opposite to larger angle are larger.

We are given $\small \angle B <\angle A$ and $\small \angle C <\angle D$ .

Thus, $BO\ > AO$ ..............(i)

and $OC\ > OD$ ...............(ii)

Adding (i) and (ii), we get :

$AO\ +\ OD\ <\ BO\ +\ OC$

or $AD\ <\ BC$

Hence proved.

Q4 AB and CD are respectively the smallest and longest sides of a quadrilateral ABCD (see Fig.). Show that $\small \angle A>\angle C$ and $\small \angle B>\angle D$ .

1640157840642

Answer:

1640157864575

Consider $\Delta ADC$ in the above figure :

$AD\ <\ CD$ (Given)

Thus $\angle CAD\ > \angle ACD$ (as angle opposite to smaller side is smaller)

Now consider $\Delta ABC$ ,

We have : $BC\ > AB$

and $\angle BAC\ > \angle ACB$

Adding the above result we get,

$\angle BAC\ +\ \angle CAD > \angle ACB\ +\ \angle ACD$

or $\small \angle A>\angle C$

Similarly, consider $\Delta ABD$ ,

we have $AB\ <\ AD$

Therefore $\angle ABD\ > \angle ADB$

and in $\Delta BDC$ we have,

$CD\ >\ BC$

and $\angle CBD\ >\ \angle CDB$

from the above result we have,

$\angle ABD\ +\ \angle CBD\ >\ \angle ADB\ +\ \angle CDB$

or $\small \angle B>\angle D$

Hence proved.

Q5 In Fig , $\small PR>PQ$ and PS bisects $\small \angle QPR$ . Prove that $\small \angle PSR>\angle PSQ$ .

1640165632055

Answer:

We are given that $\small PR>PQ$ .

Thus $\angle PQR\ =\ \angle PRQ$

Also, PS bisects $\small \angle QPR$ , thus :

$\angle QPS\ =\ \angle RPS$

Now, consider $\Delta QPS$ ,

$\angle PSR\ =\ \angle PQR\ +\ \angle QPS$ (Exterior angle)

Now, consider $\Delta PSR$ ,

$\angle PSQ\ =\ \angle PRQ\ +\ \angle RPS$

Thus from the above the result we can conclude that :

$\small \angle PSR>\angle PSQ$

Q6 Show that of all line segments drawn from a given point not on it, the perpendicular line segment is the shortest.

Answer:

Consider a right-angled triangle ABC with right angle at B.

Then $\angle B\ >\ \angle A\ or\ \angle C$ (Since $\angle B\ =\ 90^{\circ}$ )

Thus the side opposite to largest angle is also largest. $AC\ >\ BC\ or\ AB$

Hence the given statement is proved that all line segments are drawn from a given point, not on it, the perpendicular line segment is the shortest.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What is the main concept of Class 9 Maths exercise 7.4?

This exercise is about inequalities in triangles like the amount of the lengths of any two triangle sides should be more prominent than the length of the third side and so forth

2. What is a scalene triangle?

A scalene triangle is a triangle that has no equivalent sides. In this way, its angles are not equivalent to one another.

3. What are the necessary conditions for side length to be True for the formation of a triangle?

The necessary conditions for a triangle to be possible is:

Sum of any two sides must be greater than the third side
The difference of any two sides must be smaller than the third side

4. Can a triangle be possible with side length 13cm, 15cm and 30cm?

No, because the sum of two sides of length is 13cm and 15cm (which is 28cm) is smaller than the third side of length 30cm.

5. How can you determine which side is the greatest if all the angles of scalene triangles are given?

Since it is a scalene triangle all the three sides are unequal, the greatest angle will have the greatest side opposite to itself.

6. The three angles of a triangle are 40, 60, and 80 degrees. Which of the side will be the largest?

Since it is a scalene triangle all the three sides are unequal, the greatest angle will have the greatest side opposite to itself.

7. How can we determine the largest angel if all the side lengths are given to us?

The greatest side will have the greatest angle opposite to itself.

8. Three sides of a triangle are of length 10cm, 14cm and 18cm which angle will be the greatest?

The greatest side will have the greatest angle opposite to itself.

So, the angle opposite to the 18cm side will be the greatest one.
