Maharashtra Board 6th Maths Chapter 15, Class 6 Maths Chapter 15 solutions<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Question 1.
Observe the figures below and write the type of the triangle based on its angles:
\"Maharashtra
Solution:<\/strong>
i. right angled
ii. Obtuse angled
iii. acute angled<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Question 2.
Observe the figures below and write the type of the triangle based on its sides:
\"Maharashtra
Solution:<\/strong>
i. equilateral
ii. scalene
iii. isosceles<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Question 3.
As shown in the figure, Avinash is standing near his house. He can choose from two roads to go to school. Which way is shorter? Explain why.
\"Maharashtra
Solution:<\/strong>
The two roads which Avinash can choose to go to school are<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Road AB + Road BC<\/li>
  2. Road AC<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The three roads together form \u2206ABC.
    Road AC is shorter because the sum of the lengths of any two sides (side AB + side BC) of a triangle is always greater than the third side (side AC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Question 4.
    The lengths of the sides of some triangles are given. Say what types of triangles they are.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    4. 3.7 cm, 3.4 cm, 4 cm<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      1. Since, no two sides have equal lengths, the given triangle is a scalene triangle.<\/li>
      2. Since, two sides have equal length, the given triangle is an isosceles triangle.<\/li>
      3. Since, all the three sides have equal lengths, the given triangle is an equilateral triangle.<\/li>
