Important Questions for Class 7 Maths

Chapter 6 – The Triangle and Its Properties

Very Short Answer Type Questions:

Q1. Classify the following triangles according to their angles.

a) 75°, 45°, 60° → Acute angled triangle (all angles are less than 90°).

b) 90°, 30°, 60° → Right angled triangle (one angle is 90°).

c) 60°, 60°, 60° → Equilateral triangle (all angles are equal, each 60°).

d) 110°, 35°, 35° → Obtuse angled triangle (one angle is more than 90°).

Q2. Classify the following triangles according to their sides.

a) 7 cm, 5 cm, 6.5 cm → Scalene triangle (all sides are of different lengths).

b) 4 cm, 4 cm, 7 cm → Isosceles triangle (two sides are equal).

c) 3.8 cm, 4.9 cm, 3.8 cm → Isosceles triangle (two sides are equal).

d) 5.2 cm, 5.2 cm, 5.2 cm → Equilateral triangle (all sides are equal).

Q3. In an obtuse angled triangle, how many angles are obtuse?

Q4. In an acute angled triangle, how many angles are acute?

Answer: 3 angles.

Q5. Write the names for:

1) The longest side of a right-angle triangle.

Answer: Hypotenuse.

2) The other name for the equilateral triangle.

Answer: Regular triangle.

Short Answers Type Questions:

Q6. One of the base angles in an isosceles triangle is 35°. Find the measure of the third
angle.

Solution: In an isosceles triangle, the two base angles are equal. Let the third angle be x.

Base angle = 35° (two times).

Using the triangle angle sum property: 35° + 35° + x = 180°.

x = 180° - 70° = 110°.

Answer: 110°.

Q7. The three angles of a triangle are in the ratio of 6: 7: 5. Find the angles.

Solution: Let the angles be 6x , 7x , and 5x .

Sum of angles in a triangle = 180°.

6x + 7x + 5x = 180°.

18x = 180° → x = 10°.

Angles are 6x = 60°, 7x = 70°, and 5x = 50°.

Answer: 60°, 70°, 50°.

Q8. Is it possible to draw a triangle with sides?

a) 3 cm, 4 cm, 8 cm → No (sum of two smaller sides is not greater than the third side).

b) 4 cm, 6 cm, 10 cm → Yes (sum of any two sides is greater than the third side).

Q9. In a triangle ABC, which is the longest side if:

a) ∠A is a right angle

Answer: BC (opposite to the right angle).

b) ∠C is a right angle

Answer: AB (opposite to the right angle).

Q10. In a right-angled triangle, two acute angles are in the ratio of 4: 5. Find the acute
angles of the triangle.

Solution: Let the acute angles be 4x and 5x.

Sum of acute angles in a right-angled triangle = 90°.

www.vedantu.com 3
4x + 5x = 90°.

9x = 90° → x = 10°.

Acute angles are 4x = 40° and 5x = 50°.

Answer: 40°, 50°.

Long Answers Type Questions

Q11. In the following figure, ∠x: ∠y = 5: 3 and ∠ACD = 160°, find the values of x, y, and
z.

Solution: Since ∠ACD is an exterior angle, ∠x + ∠y = 160°.

Let ∠x = 5k and ∠y = 3k.

5k + 3k = 160° → 8k = 160° → k = 20°.

∠x = 5k = 100°, ∠y = 3k = 60°.

∠z (third angle in triangle) = 180° (∠x + ∠y) = 20°.

Answer: 100°, 60°, 20°.

Q12. One of the exterior angles of a triangle is 80° and interior opposite angles are equal
to each other. Find the measure of each of these two equal angles.

Solution: Let each interior opposite angle be x.

Sum of two opposite interior angles = exterior angle.

x + x = 80° → 2x = 80° → x = 40°.

Answer: 40°, 40°.

Q13. The length of the diagonal of a rectangular garden is 34 m. If its longer side
measures 30 m, find the length of the shorter side of the garden.

Solution: Let the shorter side be x.

By the Pythagorean theorem: x 2 + 302 = 342 .

x 2 + 900 = 1156 .

x 2 = 256 → x = 16 m.

Answer: 16 m.

Q14. A ladder 10 m long is leaning against a wall. The foot of the ladder is 8 m away from
the wall. Find the height up to which the ladder reaches the wall.

Solution: Let the height be h.

By the Pythagorean theorem: h2 + 82 = 102 .

www.vedantu.com 5
h2 + 64 = 100 .

h 2 = 36 → h = 6 m.

Answer: 6 m.

Q15. In the given figure, find:

1) ∠ACD

2) ∠ADC

3) ∠DAE

Solution: Using the given angles in the figure:

∠ACD = 80°.

www.vedantu.com 6
∠ADC = 150°.

∠DAE = 130°.

Answer: 80°, 150°, 130°.
