Ex 5.4, 7 Fill in the blanks with acute, obtuse, right or straight : (d) When the sum of the measures of two angles is that of a right angle, then each one of them is ______. Suppose two angles are ∠ A & ∠B Now , Sum of angles = 90° ∠A + ∠B = 90° So , ∠A < 90° & ∠B < 90° ∴ ∠A & ∠B are acute.
Page 88 Exercise 5.1 Q1. What is the disadvantage in comparing line segments by mere observation? Q2. Why is it better to use a divider than a ruler, while measuring the length of a line segment? Q3. Draw any line segment, say AB. Take any point C lying in between A and B. Measure the lengths of AB, BC and AC. Is AB = AC + CB? [Note : If A,B,C are any three points on a line such that AC + CB = AB, then we can be sure that C lies between A and B.] We can see that all these points are lying on the same line segment AB. Therefore, for every situation in which point C is lying in between A and B, it may be said that AB = AC + CB. For example, If AB = 5 cm C is 2 cm away from point A so, AC = 2 cm. AB = AC + BC So, BC = AB – AC = 5 – 2 = 3 cm AB = 2 + 3 = 5 Therefore, relation AB = AC + BC is verified. Q4. If A,B,C are three points on a line such that AB = 5 cm, BC = 3 cm and AC = 8 cm, which one of them lies between the other two? Therefore, point B lies between A and C. Q5. Verify, whether D is the mid-point of AG. AD¯ = 4 – 1 = 3 units DG¯ = 7 – 4 = 3 units AG¯ = 7 – 1 = 6 units Therefore, D is the mid-point of AG¯. Q6. If B is the mid-point of AC¯ and C is the mid-point of BD¯, where A, B, C, D lie on a straight line, say why AB = CD? AB = CD Q7. Draw five triangles and measure their sides. Check in each case, if the sum of the lengths of any two sides is always less than the third side. Page 91 Exercise 5.2 Q1.

Answer:
(i) Straight angle is an angle equal to two right angles that is 180° which is considered as a straight line and half of revolution is equal to 180°. (ii) Right angle is an angle equal to 90°. The value of one-fourth of a revolution is also 90°. (iii) Acute angle is an angle which is less than 90°. The value that is less than one-fourth of a revolution is the angle less than 90°. (iv) Obtuse angle is an angle which is greater than 90° and less than 180°. The value between 1/4 and 1/2 of a revolution also lie between 90° and 180°. (v) Reflex angle - The angle which is greater than 180° but less than 360° is called reflex angle. More than half a revolution is the angle whose measure is greater than 180°. Q2. Classify each one of the following angles as right, straight, acute, obtuse or reflex : (f) Less than 90° so Acute angle Page 97 Exercise 5.4 Q1. What is the measure of (i) a right angle?

(Remember you have to use all the available matchsticks in each case) Name the type of triangle in each case. If you cannot make a triangle, think of reasons for it.

Give reasons for the following : (a) A square can be thought of as a special rectangle. (b) A rectangle can be thought of as a special parallelogram. (c) A square can be thought of as a special rhombus. (d) Squares, rectangles, parallelograms are all quadrilaterals. (e) Square is also a parallelogram. Answer: (i) A square has four equal sides and four equal angles and can be thought of as a special rectangle in which two adjacent sides have equal length. (ii) A rectangle has its opposite sides equal as well as parallel and so can be thought of as a special parallelogram. (iii) A square has all sides equal in length and all interior angles right angles. A rhombus has all sides equal in length. So a square can be thought of as a special rhombus since all four of its sides are of the same length. (iv) A quadrilateral is made up of four line segments and since squares, rectangles and parallelograms have four sides each they are all quadrilaterals.(v) Square is also a parallelogram as its opposite sides are equal as well as parallel.

Examine whether the following are polygons. If any one among them is not, say why? (d) The shape is not a polygon because the figure is not entirely made up of line segments. Q2. Name each polygon.
