Question

In ∆ABC, AB = `6sqrt(3)` cm, AC = 12 cm, and BC = 6 cm then m∠A = ?

Options

  • 30°

  • 60°

  • 90°

  • 45°

Solution

30°

Explanation:


We know that, `6 = 1/2(12)`

And `6sqrt(3) = sqrt(3)/2 (12)`

∴ `BC = 1/2 AC` and `AB = sqrt(3)/2 AC` 

∴ ∠A = 30°  ...(Converse of 30° - 60° - 90° theorem)

In ∆LMN, l = 5, m = 13, n = 12 then complete the activity to show that whether the given triangle is right angled triangle or not.

*(l, m, n are opposite sides of ∠L, ∠M, ∠N respectively)

Activity: In ∆LMN, l = 5, m = 13, n = `square`

∴ l2 = `square`, m2 = 169, n2 = 144.

∴ l2 + n2 = 25 + 144 = `square`

∴ `square` + l2 = m2

∴ By Converse of Pythagoras theorem, ∆LMN is right angled triangle.
