Try to construct triangles usingmatch sticks. Some are shown here.Can you make a triangle with(a) 3 matchsticks?(b) 4 matchsticks?(c) 5 matchsticks?(d) 6 matchsticks?(Remember you have to use all theavailable matchsticks in each case)Name the type of triangle in each case.If you cannot make a triangle, think of reasons for it

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

a)Yes, it is possible to make a triangle of 3 matches, this is a equilateral triangle.
b)no, it is not possible to make a triangle of 4 matches, because it is not possible.
c)Yes, it is possible to make a triangle of 5 matches, this is a isosceles triangle.
d)Yes, it is possible to make a triangle of 6 matches, this is a equilateral triangle.

Can you draw a triangle which has exactly one line of symmetry? Sketch a rough figure in each case.

(a) Look at the following matchstick pattern of squares (Fig 11.6). The squares are not separate. Two neighbouring squares have a common matchstick. Observe the patterns and find the rule that gives the number of matchsticks in terms of the number of squares. (Hint : If you remove the vertical stick at the end, you will get a pattern of Cs.) (b) Fig 11.7 gives a matchstick pattern of triangles. As in Exercise 11 (a) above, find the general rule that gives the number of matchsticks in terms of the number of triangles.

Copy the triangle in each of the following figures on squared paper.In each case,draw the line(s) of symmetry,if any and identify the type of triangle.(Some of you may like to trace the figures and try paper-folding first!)
