Step 1 : Draw a line AB = 7 cm and take a point P anywhere on the line.
Step 2 : Place the set square on the line in such a way that the vertex which forms right angle coincides with P and one arm of the right angle coincides with the line AB.
Step 3 : Draw a line PQ through P along the other arm of the right angle of the set square.
Step 4 : The line PQ is perpendicular to the line AB at P. That is, PQ ⊥ AB

Since it is a right-angled triangle
One of the angles is 90°
The other two angles are equal because it is an isosceles triangle.
The other two angles must be 45° and 45°
Angles are 90°, 45°, 45°.

(c) It is an obtuse isosceles triangle
- A. An obtuse isosceles triangle.
- B. An acute isosceles triangle.
- C. An obtuse equilateral triangle.
- D. An acute equilateral triangle.
(c) An obtuse equilateral triangle.
In an isosceles triangle, any two sides are equal. Also, the two angles are equal.
Sum of three angles of a triangle = 180°
Given one angle = 124°
Sum of other two angles = 180° – 124° = 56°
Other angles are = \(\frac{56}{2}\) = 28°
28° and 28°.
Isosceles right-angled triangles
yes, they are parallel
Challenge Problems
No, a triangle cannot have more than one right angle.
- A. Every equilateral triangle is an isosceles triangle.
- B. Every isosceles triangle is an equilateral triangle
“(a)” is true, because an isosceles triangle need not have three equal sides
(i) Given one angle = 70°
Also, it is an isosceles triangle.
Another one angle also can be 70°.
Sum of these two angles = 70° + 70° = 140°
We know that the sum of three angles in a triangle = 180°.
Third angle = 180° – 140° = 40°
One possibility is 70°, 70°, and 40°
(ii) Also if one angle is 70°
Sum of other two angles = 180° – 70° = 110°
Both are equal. They are \(\frac{110}{2}\) = 55°.
Another possibility is 70°, 55° and 55°.
