A Compass can be used to make the duplicate of any angle. A protractor can also be used to duplicate angles but only of integral values.

So option

$A$ is correct.

0%
0%
0%
0%
None of these

State whether the following statement is true or false.

If a line segment

$AB$ is bisected at point

$P$ and through point

$P$ another line segment

$PQ$ which is perpendicular to

$AB,$ is drawn then

$QA=QB.$

0%
True
0%
False

Explanation

Join QA and QB.

$\triangle PQA$ and

$\triangle PQB$ ,

$PQ = PQ$ (Common)

$\angle PQA = \angle PQB$ (Each

$90^{\circ}$ , PQ is perpendicular to AB)

$PA = PB$ (P bisects AB)

Thus,

$\triangle PAQ \cong \triangle PBQ$
Hence,

$QA = QB$ (By cpct)

You are asked to "construct" an angle whose measure is

$30^\circ$ . Which of the following methods would be considered as an acceptable construction?

0%
Using a compass and straightedge, construct two parallel lines and label one of the angles $30^\circ$ .
0%
Using a compass and straightedge, construct an equilateral triangle and then bisect one of its angles.
0%
Using a compass and straightedge, copy an angle that appears to be close to $30^\circ$ from a diagram in your textbook.
0%
None of these

Explanation

We only need to construct an angle of

$30^{o}$ .

We have not been provided with any side or point.

So, its best to construct an equilateral triangle by drawing

$60^{\circ}$ angles and then extending and joining them with the straighedges

Since every angle is of measure

$60^{o}$ , so bisecting one of the angle will form an angle of measure

$30^{o}$ .

Hence, the acceptable construction is given by option B.

$.1\ \ cm$

So the lengths that can be measures are

$3.1\ \ cm$

$,7.2\ \ cm$ and

$1cm\ \$

Options

$n$ .

Which one of following is true?

0%
$n\parallel \ m$
0%
$n \perp \ m$
0%
$l,m,n$ forms a triangle
0%
None

Explanation

$\Rightarrow$ Line

$l$

$\parallel$ line

$m$ [Given]

$\Rightarrow$ Line

$l$

$\perp$ line

$n$ [Given]

$\Rightarrow$ So,

$\angle O=90^\circ$

$\Rightarrow$ Since it's given that line

$l$ parallel to line

$m$ then,

$\Rightarrow$

$\angle P=90^\circ$

$\Rightarrow$ Hence, line

$n$

$\perp$ line

$m$

Use a protractor to measure the angle

$x$ as shown in the picture

$x$ can be:

0%
$< 30^{\circ}$
0%
$=90^{\circ}$
0%
$>90^{\circ}$
0%
$30^{\circ} < x< 90^{\circ}$

Explanation

We get

$x=45^{\circ}$ by measuring the angle using a protractor.

$\therefore 30^{\circ}<x<90^{\circ}$

So, option

$D$ is correct.

Using Protractor, we constructed an angle of

$45˚$ . The constructed figure looks like:

Explanation

If we construct an angle of

$45^{\circ}$ using a protractor the figure looks like the figure in option

$A$

So option

$A$ is correct.

With the help of a normal ruler and a compass only, which of the following line segment is possible to construct?

0%
$2.1\ cm$
0%
$4.2\ cm$
0%
$5.43\ cm$
0%
$3.3\ cm$

Explanation

Least count of normal scale is

$.1\ \ cm$ that is minimum length that can be measured using a normal scale is

$.1\ \ cm$ .

So the lengths that can be measured are

$2.1\ \ cm,4.2\ \ cm$ and

$3.3\ \ cm$

To measure

$5.43$ we need a scale whose least count is

$.001$
