Q.no.1: Fill in the blanks
a.An acute angle is an any angle greater than 0 degree but less than 90 degree.
b.An angle which is greater than a right angle but less than 180 degree is called an
obtuse angle.

• Triangles based on the lengths of their sides ( we have learnt these previously)
• Triangles based on their interior angles (explained here along with their further
classifications).
.
Types of Triangles Based on Angles
Triangles can be classified into three types with respect to their interior angles which are:
1. Acute-angled
2. Obtuse-angled
3. Right-angled
Acute Triangle
An acute triangle is a triangle whose all the three interior angles are acute. In other words, if all
interior angles are less than 90 degrees, then it is an acute-angled triangle. The figure given below
illustrates an acute triangle.
In the above figure, we can see all the interior angles of the triangle, is less than 90 degrees, hence
it is an acute triangle.
Obtuse Triangle
Obtuse triangles are those in which one of the three interior angles has a measure greater than 90
degrees. In other words, if one of the angles in a triangle is an obtuse angle, then the triangle is
called an obtuse-angled triangle. The figure given below illustrates an obtuse triangle.
In the above triangle, we can see that one of the angles is more than 90 degrees. Hence, it is an
obtuse triangle.
Right Triangle
A right triangle is a triangle in which one of the angles is 90 degrees. In a right-angled triangle, the
side opposite to the right angle (90-degree angle) will be the longest side and is called the
hypotenuse. You may come across triangle types with combined names like right isosceles triangle
and such, but this only implies that the triangle has two equal sides with one of the interior angles
being 90 degrees. The figure given below illustrates a right triangle.
In the above triangle, one among the three angles is 90 degrees, thus it is a right triangle.
Exercise 7(d) pg.no.145( Do all the questions of this page, constuct the given
triangle according to the given measurements on your maths copy and keep
practicing the constuction steps on loose sheets.
Quadrilaterals
A quadrilateral has:
Try drawing a quadrilateral, and measure the angles. They should add to 360°
Types of Quadrilaterals
The Rectangle
The Square
A square has equal sides and every angle is a right angle (90°). Also opposite sides are
parallel. A square also fits the definition of a rectangle (all angles are 90°), and
a rhombus (all sides are equal length).
The Rhombus
A rhombus is a four-sided shape where all sides have equal length . Also opposite sides
are parallel and opposite angles are equal. A rhombus is sometimes called a rhomb or
a diamond.
The Parallelogram
A parallelogram has opposite sides parallel and equal in length. Also opposite angles
are equal
The Kite
It has two pairs of sides. Each pair is made of two equal-length sides that join up.
We will be doing TWO constructions of a square. The first will be to construct a square
given the length of one side, and the other will be to construct a square inscribed in a
circle.
b.A quadrilateral with one pair of opposite and parallel sides is called a Trapezium .
c.A square has four equal sides and four equal angles.
iii) Two pairs of adjacent sides are equal iv) Opposite angles are equal
i) 210 degree ii) 360 degree iii) 180 degree iv) 90 degree
a) Trapezium
b) Parallelogram
c) Square
d) Rectangle
e) Rhombus
f) Kite
