(a) Triangle with lengths of sides 7 cm, 8 cm and 9 cm.
(b) ΔABC with AB = 8.7cm, AC =7cm andBC = 6 cm.
(c) ΔPQR such that PQ = QR = PR = 5 cm.
(d) ΔDEF with m ∠D = 90°.
(e) ΔXYZ with m ∠Y = 90° and XY = YZ.
(f) ΔLMN with m ∠L = 30°, m ∠M =70° and m ∠N = 80°.
Solution :

(c) Obtuse-angled and isosceles.
(d) Right-angled and isosceles.
(e) Equilateral and acute-angled.
(f) Obtuse-angled and scalene.

Question 4.
Try to construct triangles using matchsticks. Some are shown here. Can you make a triangle with
NCERT Solutions for Class 6 Maths Chapter 5 Understanding Elementary Shapes 24
(a) 3 matchsticks?
(b) 4 matchsticks?
(c) 5 matchsticks?
(d) 6 matchsticks?
(Remember you have to use all the available matchsticks in each case). Name the type of triangle in each case. If you cannot make a triangle, think of reasons for it.
Solution :
(a) Yes, an equilateral triangle.
(b) No, since the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is always greater than the length of the third side.
(c) Yes, an isosceles triangle.
(d) Yes, an equilateral triangle.
