Triangle Theorems Practice Tests

These Grade 10 Geometry practice tests develop theorem-based reasoning with triangle angles, side lengths, centers, inequalities, right-triangle formulas, and proof applications.

Skills covered

  • Applying the Triangle Sum, Exterior Angle, Isosceles, Larger Angle-Larger Side, and Triangle Inequality Theorems
  • Identifying medians, altitudes, angle bisectors, perpendicular bisectors, centroid, circumcenter, incenter, and orthocenter
  • Using the Pythagorean Theorem, its converse, geometric means, and 30-60-90 and 45-45-90 relationships
  • Solving side-length, angle-measure, perimeter, and exterior-angle problems
  • Using triangle theorems in congruence proofs, coordinate geometry, construction, and measurement applications

How to use these practice tests

Underline the givens and identify the theorem before calculating. For side-length questions, check the triangle inequality; for right triangles, label the hypotenuse before applying the formula.

1. QuestionMultiple choice

Which set of lengths can form a triangle?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 5, 7, and 10..

  1. Identify the triangle information: List the angle measures, side lengths, center, segment, or proof relationship given in the problem.
  2. Apply the triangle theorem: Each pair of sides has a sum greater than the third: 5 + 7 > 10, 5 + 10 > 7, and 7 + 10 > 5.
  3. Check the conclusion: The correct answer is 5, 7, and 10..

Each pair of sides has a sum greater than the third: 5 + 7 > 10, 5 + 10 > 7, and 7 + 10 > 5.

2. QuestionMultiple choice

The correct answer is 2, 3, and 6..

  1. Identify the triangle information: List the angle measures, side lengths, center, segment, or proof relationship given in the problem.
  2. Apply the triangle theorem: The two smaller sides sum to 5, which is not greater than 6.
  3. Check the conclusion: The correct answer is 2, 3, and 6..

The two smaller sides sum to 5, which is not greater than 6.

3. QuestionMultiple choice

A triangle has sides 9, 13, and x. Which range allows a triangle?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is 4 < x < 22..

  1. Identify the triangle information: List the angle measures, side lengths, center, segment, or proof relationship given in the problem.
  2. Apply the triangle theorem: The Triangle Inequality Theorem gives |13 − 9| < x < 13 + 9, so 4 < x < 22.
  3. Check the conclusion: The correct answer is 4 < x < 22..

The Triangle Inequality Theorem gives |13 − 9| < x < 13 + 9, so 4 < x < 22.
