Assertion Reason Triangles 8Ce49A
1. The problem is to create assertion-reason type questions for the chapter "Construction of Triangles" for class VIII.
2. Assertion-Reason questions consist of two statements: an assertion (A) and a reason (R). The student must determine if both are true and if R correctly explains A.
3. Example question 1:
- Assertion (A): The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is always greater than the length of the third side.
- Reason (R): This is known as the triangle inequality theorem.
4. Example question 2:
- Assertion (A): To construct a triangle given three sides, we use a compass and ruler.
- Reason (R): The compass helps in drawing arcs to locate the third vertex.
5. Example question 3:
- Assertion (A): A triangle can be constructed if the sum of two sides is equal to the third side.
- Reason (R): The triangle inequality theorem states the sum must be greater, not equal.
6. These questions help students understand properties and construction methods of triangles by evaluating the correctness and relationship of statements.
