Q.1 Construct \(\triangle \)ABC, given m \(\angle \)A =60°, m \(\angle \)B = 30° and AB = 5.8 cm.



NCERT Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapter 10 Practical Geometry


Answer :

1. Draw a line segment AB = 5.8 cm.
2. At point A, draw an angle 60° i.e. \(\angle \) A = 60°.
3. At point B, draw an angle of 30° i.e. \(\angle \)B= 30°.
4. Now the two rays intersect at the point C.
Then, \(\triangle \) ABC is the required triangle.

Q.2 Construct \(\triangle \)PQR if PQ = 5 cm, m?PQR = 105° and \(\angle \)QRP = 40°.
(Hint: Recall angle-sum property of a triangle)



NCERT Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapter 10 Practical Geometry


Answer :

Given: \(\angle PQR = 40°, \angle QRP = 105°\)
\(\therefore \angle PQR + \angle QRP + \angle QPR = 180°\) (Angle sum property of a triangle)
105° + 40° +\( \angle \)QPR = 180°
145° + \(\angle \)QPR = 180°
\(\therefore \angle QPR = 180° – 145° = 35°\)
Step 1. Draw a line segment PQ = 5 cm.
Step 2. At point P, draw an angle \(\angle \) P = 35°
Step 3 At point Q draw an angle \(\angle \) Q = 105°
Step 4. Now the two rays intersect at the point R.
Then, \(\triangle \)PQR is the required triangle.

Q.3 Examine whether you can construct ?DEF such that EF = 7.2 cm, m\(\angle \)E = 110° and m\(\angle \)F = 80°. Justify your answer.



NCERT Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapter 10 Practical Geometry


Answer :

To construct \(\triangle \)DEF with the given measurement, is not possible.
\(\therefore m\angle E + m\angle F = 110° + 80°\)
= 190° > 180° [Sum of the angles of a triangle = 180°]
\(\therefore \triangle \)DEF is not possible to construct.
