PROPERTIES OF TRIANGLES
3
1. In a triangle ABC, a 5, b 7 and sin A how many such triangles are possible
4
[Roorkee 1990]
(a) 1 (b) 0
(c) 2 (d) Infinite
sin B
2. In ABC ,
sin( A B)
[MP PET 1989]
b
(a) (b) b
ab c
c
(c) (d) None of these
b
7. In ABC , if ,
C 90 o A 30 o , c 20 , then the values of a and b are
(a) 10, 10 (b) 10 ,10 3
(c) 5, 5 3 (d) 8, 8 3
8. If the angles of a triangle are in the ratio 1: 2: 3, then their corresponding
sides are in the ratio
[MP PET 1993; BIT Ranchi 1992; Pb. CET 1990]
(a) 1 : 2 : 3 (b) 1 : 3 : 2
(c) 2 : 3 : 3 (d) 1 : 3 : 3
9. If A 30 o , a 7, b 8 in ABC , then B has
(a) One solution (b) Two solutions
(c) No solution (d) None of these
10. If b 3, c 4 and B , then the number of triangle that can be constructed is
3
[Roorkee 1992]
(a) Infinite (b) Two
(c) One (d) Nil
Solutions
sin A sin B 3 sin B 21
1. (b) sin B ,
a b 4 5 7 20
Note: Students should note here that most of the expressions containing the
cyclic factor associating with ‘–’ reduces to 0.
4. (c) x 2 x 7 x 180 o x 18 o
Hence the angles are 18 o , 36 o , 126 o

a 2 d 2 2ad a 2 a 2 d 2 2ad
a 4d d a .

3a 5a
Hence the sides are , a, i.e., in ratio 3 : 4 : 5.
4 4
7. (b) C 90 o , A 30 o , c 20 ,
then a c sin A 10 and b
c sin B
10 3 .
sin C sin C
Trick : Since the angles are 30 o ,60 o ,90 o , therefore sides must be 1 : 3 : 2 .
Hence a 10 , b 10 3 .
8. (b) Angles are x 2 x 3 x 180 o or 30o, 60o and 90o, therefore sides are in ratio of
sin 30 o : sin 60 o : sin 90 o
