The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to evaluate three statements regarding triangles and angle constructions. Let's analyze each statement step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement (i)**: A triangle whose sides measure 8 cm, 4 cm, and 12 cm can be possible. - To determine if these sides can form a triangle, we use the triangle inequality theorem, which states that the sum of the lengths of any two sides must be greater than the length of the third side. - Check the conditions: - \(8 + 4 > 12\) (12 is not greater than 12, so this condition fails) - \(8 + 12 > 4\) (20 > 4, this condition holds) - \(4 + 12 > 8\) (16 > 8, this condition holds) - Since one of the conditions fails, it is **not possible** to form a triangle with these sides. - **Conclusion**: Statement (i) is **False (F)**. 2. **Statement (ii)**: It is possible to construct an angle of \(57.5^\circ\) using a ruler and compass only. - Angles that can be constructed using a ruler and compass must be in the form of \(n \times 15^\circ\) or \(n \times 30^\circ\) or can be derived from these using bisectors. - \(57.5^\circ\) cannot be expressed as a combination of \(15^\circ\) or \(30^\circ\) angles, nor can it be constructed by bisecting angles that result in \(57.5^\circ\). - **Conclusion**: Statement (ii) is **False (F)**. 3. **Statement (iii)**: It is possible to construct a triangle \(XYZ\) in which \(angle X = 60^\circ\), \(angle Y = 100^\circ\), and \(angle Z = 20^\circ\). - According to the angle sum property of triangles, the sum of the angles in a triangle must equal \(180^\circ\). - Check the sum: - \(60^\circ + 100^\circ + 20^\circ = 180^\circ\) - Since the sum of the angles equals \(180^\circ\), it is possible to construct such a triangle. - **Conclusion**: Statement (iii) is **True (T)**. ### Final Answers: - (i) F - (ii) F - (iii) T ### Summary of Results: - The correct options are: - (i) False - (ii) False - (iii) True
