Answer

    1. (b) 75
      Explanation: set squares come in two forms, both right triangles, it has 90-45-90 degree angles. Therefore the third angle here will be 90 degree
    1. diameter
      Explanation: A diameter joins two points on the circle and so it is a chord. The diameter also passes through the centre of the circle and is the longest chord of the circle.
    1. 17 cm
      Explanation: Diameter is twice the radius.
      Diameter = radius x 2 = 8.5 x 2 = 17 cm
    1. 6 cm
      Explanation: Diameter is twice the radius.
      Diameter = radius x 2 = 3 x 2 = 6 cm
    1. 11 cm
      Explanation: Diameter is twice the radius.
      Diameter = radius x 2 = 5.5 x 2 = 11 cm
    1.  r
    2.  s
    3.  p
    4.  q
    1. AB¯
    2. 5cm
    3. 2212
    4. 100o
    1. True
    2. False
    3. False
    4. True
  1. If an angle of 110o is bisected (divided into two equal parts), then each angle would be 1102=55.

  2. Steps of Construction:

    1. Draw a ray OP.
    2. With 'O' as centre and any radius, draw an arc. Cutting OP at x.
    3. With x as centre and the same radius, draw another arc intersecting the first arc at y
    4. Join O, Y and produce it to Q.
      Hence, POQ=60 is the required angle.

  3. steps:-

    1. Place the zero mark of the ruler at 'P'.
    2. Mark a point 'Q' at a distance of 6cm from 'P'.
    3. Again mark a point 'R' at a distance of 4.5cm from 'P'.
    4. Hence by measuring QR¯ we find QR¯ = 6 - 4.5 = 1.5cm.
    1. Draw a line segment PQ¯ of length 6.1cm.
    2. With P as centre, using compasses, draw an arc. The radius of this arc should be more than half of the length of PQ¯.
    3. With the same radius and with Q as centre, draw another arc using compasses. Let it cut the previous arcs at A and B.
    4. Join AB¯. It cuts PQ¯ at C. Then AB¯ is the perpendicular bisector of the line segment PQ¯.
    5. Place the pointer of the compasses at C and open the pencil upto P.
    6. Turn the compasses slowly to draw the circle.
    1. Draw a point with a sharp pencil and mark it as C.
    2. Open the compasses for the required radius 3.4cm, by putting the pointer on 0 and opening the pencil upto 3.4cm.
    3. Place the pointer of the compasses at C.
    4. Turn the compasses slowly to draw the circle.
    5. Draw any chord AB¯ of this circle.
    6. With A as centre, using compasses, draw an arc. The radius of this arc should be more than half of the length of AB¯.
    7. With the same radius and with B as centre, draw another arc using compasses. Let it cut the previous arcs at D and E.
    8. Join DE¯. Then DE¯ is the perpendicular bisector of the line segment AB¯. On examinating, we find that it passes through C.
