Which of the following sentences are statements? Justify
(i) A triangle has three sides.
(ii) 0 is a complex number.
(iii) Sky is red.
(iv) Every set is an infinite set.
(v) 15 + 8 > 23.
(vi) y + 9 = 7.
(vii) Where is your bag?
(viii) Every square is a rectangle.
(ix) Sum of opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is 180°.
(x) Sin2x + cos2 x = 0
(i) A triangle has three sides.
A statement is a declarative sentence if it is either true or false but not both.
So, the given sentence is true.
Hence, it is a true statement
(ii) 0 is a complex number.
A statement is a declarative sentence if it is either true or false but not both.
So, the given sentence “0 is a complex number” is true. Because we can write it as a+ib, where imaginary part is 0 as, a+0i.
Hence, it is a true statement
(iii) Sky is red.
A statement is a declarative sentence if it is either true or false but not both.
The given sentence “sky is Red” is false.
Hence, it is a false statement
(iv) Every set is an infinite set.
A statement is a declarative sentence if it is either true or false but not both.
The given sentence “Every set is an infinite set” is False.
Hence, it is a false statement
(v) 15 + 8 > 23.
A statement is a declarative sentence if it is either true or false but not both.
So, the given Expression “15 + 8 > 23” is false.
As the result of L.H.S will always equal to the result of R.H.S
Hence, it is a false statement
(vi) y + 9 = 7.
A statement is a declarative sentence if it is either true or false but not both.
Here, y + 9 = 7 will be true for some value and it will be false for some value.
Like, at y= -2, the given expression is true and Y=1 or any other value, the expression is false.
Hence, it is not a statement
(vii) Where is your bag?
A statement is a declarative sentence if it is either true or false but not both.
Here, the given sentence “Where is your bag” is a question.
Hence, it is not a statement
(viii) Every square is a rectangle.
A statement is a declarative sentence if it is either true or false but not both.
So, the given sentence “Every square is a rectangle.” is true.
Hence, it is a true statement
(ix) Sum of opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is 180°.
A statement is a declarative sentence if it is either true or false but not both.
By the properties of quadrilateral “Sum of opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is180°.”
So, the given sentence is true.
Hence, it is a statement
(x) Sin2x + cos2 x = 0
A statement is a declarative sentence if it is either true or false but not both.
According to the laws of trigonometry, sin2x + cos2x = 1
So, the given expression is False.
Hence, it is a false statement
