1. Why is it better to use a divider and a ruler than a ruler only, while measuring the length of a line segment?
Solution:-
The divider gives up accurate measurement whereas the ruler may cause difficulties in reading of length. Therefore, it is better to use a divider while measuring the length of a line segment.
2. In the given figure, compare the line segments with the help of a divider and fill in the blanks by using the symbol >, = or <:
(i) AB ………. CD
(ii) BC ………. AB
(iii) AC ………. BD
(iv) CD ………. BD
Solution:-
(i) From the figure,
AB = CD … [in parallelograms opposites are equal]
(ii) BC < AB
(iii) AC > BD
(iv) CD < BD
3. If A, B and C are collinear points such that AB = 6 cm, BC = 4 cm and AC = 10 cm, which one of them lies between the other two?
Solution:-
From the question it is given that,
A, B and C are collinear points
AB = 6 cm
BC = 4 cm
AC = 10 cm
Here, point B lies between the other two i.e A and C.
4. In the given figure, verify the following by measurement:
(i) AB + BC = AC
(ii) AC – BC = AB
Solution:-
From the figure,
By using the divider and ruler we measured the given figure,
So,
AB = 3 cm, BC = 1.5 cm and AC = 4.5 cm
(i) AB + BC = AC
3 cm + 1.5 cm = 4.5 cm
4.5 cm = 4.5 cm
(ii) AC – BC = AB
4.5 cm – 1.5 cm = 3 cm
3 cm = 3 cm
5. In the given figure, verify by measurement that:
(i) AC + BD = AD + BC
(ii) AB + CD = AD – BC
Solution:-
From the figure,
By using the divider and ruler we measured the given figure,
So,
AB = 1.8 cm, BC = 0.8 cm, BD = 2.7 cm CD = 1.9 cm, AC = 2.6 cm and AD = 4.5 cm
(i) AC + BD = AD + BC
Consider Left hand side (LHS) = AC + BD
= 2.6 cm + 2.7 cm
= 5.3 cm
Now, Right hand side (RHS) = AD + BC
= 4.5 cm + 0.8 cm
= 5.3 cm
By comparing LHS and RHS
LHS = RHS
5.3 cm = 5.3 cm
Therefore, AC + BD = AD + BC
(ii) AB + CD = AD – BC
Consider Left hand side (LHS) = AB + CD
= 1.8 cm + 1.9 cm
= 3.7 cm
Now, Right hand side (RHS) = AD – BC
= 4.5 cm – 0.8 cm
= 3.7 cm
By comparing LHS and RHS
LHS = RHS
3.7 cm = 3.7 cm
Therefore, AB + CD = AD – BC
6. In the given figure, measure the lengths of the sides of the triangle ABC and verify:
(i) AB + BC > AC
(ii) BC + AC > AB
(iii) AC + AB > BC
Solution:-
From the figure,
By using the divider and ruler we measured the given figure,
So,
AB = 2.6 cm, BC = 3.9 cm, AC = 4 cm
(i) AB + BC > AC
2.6 + 3.9 cm > 4 cm
6.5 cm > 4 cm
(ii) BC + AC > AB
3.9 + 4 cm > 2.6 cm
7.9 cm > 2.6 cm
(iii) AC + AB > BC
4 cm + 2.6 cm > 3.9 cm
6.6 cm > 3.9 cm
