## Access NCERT Solutions for Class 7 Chapter 6- Triangles and its Properties

Exercise 6.5

1. $PQR$ is a triangle, right angled at $P$. If $PQ = 10$cm and $PR = 24$cm, find $QR$.

Ans: Given: $PQ = 10$cm, $PR = 24$cm

Let $QR$ be $x$cm.

In right angled triangle $QPR$,

By Pythagoras Theorem, ${\text{Hypotenus}}{{\text{e}}^2} = {\text{ Bas}}{{\text{e}}^2} + {\text{ Perpendicula}}{{\text{r}}^2}$

${\left( {QR} \right)^2} = {\left( {PQ} \right)^2} + {\left( {PR} \right)^2}$

${\left( x \right)^2} = {\left( {10} \right)^2} + {\left( {24} \right)^2}$

${\left( x \right)^2} = 100 + 576 = 676$

$x = \sqrt {676} = 26cm$

Thus, the length of  $QR$ is $26cm$.

2. $ABC$ is a triangle, right angled at $C$. If $AB = 25$cm and $AC = 7$cm, find $BC$.

Ans: Given: $AB = 25$cm, $AC = 7$cm

Let $BC$ be $x$cm.

In right angled triangle $ACB$,

By Pythagoras Theorem, ${\text{Hypotenus}}{{\text{e}}^2} = {\text{ Bas}}{{\text{e}}^2} + {\text{ Perpendicula}}{{\text{r}}^2}$

${\left( {AB} \right)^2} = {\left( {AC} \right)^2} + {\left( {BC} \right)^2}$

${\left( {25} \right)^2} = {\left( 7 \right)^2} + {\left( x \right)^2}$

$625 = 49 + {x^2}$

${x^2} = 625 - 49 = 576$

$x = \sqrt {576} = 24cm$

Thus, the length of  $BC$is $24cm$.

3. A $15$m long ladder reached a window $12$m high from the ground on placing it against a wall at a distance $a$. Find the distance of the foot of the ladder from the wall.

Ans: Let $AC$ be the ladder and $A$ be the window.

Given: $AC = 15$m, $AB = 12$m

Let $CB$ be $a$m.

In right angled triangle $ACB$,

By Pythagoras Theorem, ${\text{Hypotenus}}{{\text{e}}^2} = {\text{ Bas}}{{\text{e}}^2} + {\text{ Perpendicula}}{{\text{r}}^2}$

${\left( {AC} \right)^2} = {\left( {CB} \right)^2} + {\left( {AB} \right)^2}$

${\left( {15} \right)^2} = {\left( {12} \right)^2} + {\left( a \right)^2}$

$225 = {a^2} + 144$

${a^2} = 225 - 144 = 81$

$x = \sqrt {81} = 9m$

Hence, the distance of the foot of the ladder from the wall is $9m$.

4. Which of the following can be the sides of a right triangle? In the case of right angled triangles, identify the right angles.

(i) $2.5$cm, $6.5$cm, $6$cm

Ans: Let us consider, the larger side be the hypotenuse and also using Pythagoras theorem,

${\text{Hypotenus}}{{\text{e}}^2} = {\text{ Bas}}{{\text{e}}^2} + {\text{ Perpendicula}}{{\text{r}}^2}$

In $\vartriangle ABC$,               ${\left( {AC} \right)^2} = {\left( {AB} \right)^2} + {\left( {BC} \right)^2}$

$L.H.S. = {\left( {6.5} \right)^2} = 42.25cm$

$R.H.S. = {\left( 6 \right)^2} + {\left( {2.5} \right)^2} = 36 + 6.25 = 42.25cm$

Since, $L.H.S. = R.H.S.$

Therefore, the given sides form a right angled triangle.

Right angle lies on the opposite to the greater side $6.5$cm, i.e., at $B$.

(ii) $2$cm, $2$cm, $5$cm

Ans: Let us consider, the larger side be the hypotenuse and also using Pythagoras theorem,

${\text{Hypotenus}}{{\text{e}}^2} = {\text{ Bas}}{{\text{e}}^2} + {\text{ Perpendicula}}{{\text{r}}^2}$

${\left( 5 \right)^2} = {\left( 2 \right)^2} + {\left( 2 \right)^2}$

$L.H.S. = {\left( 5 \right)^2} = 25cm$

$R.H.S. = {\left( 2 \right)^2} + {\left( 2 \right)^2} = 4 + 4 = 8cm$

Since, $L.H.S. \ne R.H.S.$

Therefore, the given sides do not form a right angled triangle.

(iii) $1.5$cm, $2$cm, $2.5$cm

Ans: Let us consider, the larger side be the hypotenuse and also using Pythagoras theorem,

${\text{Hypotenus}}{{\text{e}}^2} = {\text{ Bas}}{{\text{e}}^2} + {\text{ Perpendicula}}{{\text{r}}^2}$

In $\vartriangle PQR$,               ${\left( {\operatorname{P} R} \right)^2} = {\left( {PQ} \right)^2} + {\left( {RQ} \right)^2}$

$L.H.S. = {\left( {2.5} \right)^2} = 6.25cm$

$R.H.S. = {\left( 2 \right)^2} + {\left( {1.5} \right)^2} = 4 + 2.25 = 6.25cm$

Since, $L.H.S. = R.H.S.$

Therefore, the given sides form a right angled triangle.

Right angle lies on the opposite to the greater side $2.5$cm, i.e., at $Q$.

5. A tree is broken at a height of $5$m from the ground and its top touches the ground at a distance of $12$m from the base of the tree. Find the original height of the tree.

Ans: Let $A'CB$ represents the tree before it broken at the point $C$ and let the

top $A'$ touches the ground at $A$ after it broke. Then $\vartriangle ABC$ is a right angled triangle, right angled at $B$.

$AB = 12$m and $BC = 5$m

Using Pythagoras theorem, In $\vartriangle ABC$

${\left( {AC} \right)^2} = {\left( {AB} \right)^2} + {\left( {BC} \right)^2}$

${\left( {AC} \right)^2} = {\left( {12} \right)^2} + {\left( 5 \right)^2}$

${\left( {AC} \right)^2} = 144 + 25$

${\left( {AC} \right)^2} = 169$

$AC = 13m$

The total height of the tree is sum of sides $AC$ and $CB$ that is$AC + CB = 13 + 5 = 18m$.

6. Angles $Q$ and $R$ of a $\vartriangle PQR$ are ${25^ \circ }$ and ${65^ \circ }$.

Write which of the following is true:

(i) $P{Q^2} + Q{R^2} = R{P^2}$

(ii) $P{Q^2} + R{P^2} = Q{R^2}$

(iii) $R{P^2} + Q{R^2} = P{Q^2}$

Ans: In $\vartriangle PQR$,

$\angle PQR + \angle QRP + \angle RPQ = {180^ \circ }$                 By Angle sum property of a [$\vartriangle$]

${25^ \circ } + {65^ \circ } + \angle RPQ = {180^ \circ }$              $\Rightarrow$          ${90^ \circ } + \angle RPQ = {180^ \circ }$

$\angle RPQ = {180^ \circ } - {90^ \circ } = {90^ \circ }$

Thus, $\vartriangle PQR$ is a right angled triangle, right angled at $P$.

$\therefore {\text{ Hypotenus}}{{\text{e}}^2} = {\text{ Bas}}{{\text{e}}^2} + {\text{ Perpendicula}}{{\text{r}}^2}$       (By Pythagoras theorem)

$Q{R^2} = P{Q^2} + R{P^2}$

Hence, Option (ii) is correct.

7. Find the perimeter of the rectangle whose length is $40$cm and a diagonal is $41$cm.

Ans: Given diagonal $PR = 41$cm, length $PR = 40$cm

Let breadth $\left( {QR} \right)$ be $x$cm.

Now, in right angled triangle $PQR$,

${\left( {PR} \right)^2} = {\left( {RQ} \right)^2} + {\left( {PQ} \right)^2}$                         (By Pythagoras theorem)

${\left( {41} \right)^2} = {\left( x \right)^2} + {\left( {40} \right)^2}$

$1681 = {\left( x \right)^2} + 1600$

${x^2} = 1681 - 1600$

${x^2} = 81$

$x = \sqrt {81} = 9cm$

Therefore the breadth of the rectangle is $9$cm.

${\text{Perimeter of rectangle = 2}}\left( {{\text{length + breadth}}} \right)$

$= 2\left( {9 + 49} \right)$

$= 2 \times 49 = 98cm$

Hence the perimeter of the rectangle is $98$cm.

8. The diagonals of a rhombus measure $16$cm and $30$cm. Find its perimeter.

Ans: Given: Diagonals $AC = 30$cm and $DB = 16$cm.

Since the diagonals of the rhombus bisect at right angle to each other so it divides the diagonals into equal halves.

Therefore, $OD = \frac{{DB}}{2} = \frac{{16}}{2} = 8cm$

And            $OC = \frac{{AC}}{2} = \frac{{30}}{2} = 15cm$

Now, In right angle triangle $DOC$,

${\left( {DC} \right)^2} = {\left( {OD} \right)^2} + {\left( {OC} \right)^2}$                                   (By Pythagoras theorem)

${\left( {DC} \right)^2} = {\left( 8 \right)^2} + {\left( {15} \right)^2}$

${\left( {DC} \right)^2} = 64 + 225 = 289$

$DC = \sqrt {289} = 17cm$

${\text{Perimeter of rhombus = }}4 \times {\text{Side}}$

$= 4 \times 17 = 68cm$

Thus, the perimeter of rhombus is $68$ cm.
