Question 1

Draw a line segment of 6 cm and…


📝 Question:

Draw a line segment of 6 cm and taking any point P, draw a parallel line at a distance of 2.5 cm

💡 Solution:

Line segment AB = 6 cm and perpendicular distance = 2.5 cm.

  1. Draw line segment AB = 6 cm and mark any point P on it.
  2. Construct a perpendicular PQ ⊥ AB at point P using a protractor/compass.
  3. Cut an arc of radius 2.5 cm with center P on ray PQ to mark point R.
  4. At point R, construct line m ⊥ PR.
  5. Line m is the required line parallel to line segment AB at a distance of 2.5 cm.

Question 2

In the given figure l m t m…


📝 Question:

In the given figure l ∥ m, t ⊥ m and t ⊥ n, then

💡 Solution:

(i) Is m ∥ n? Why?**

(ii) Is l ∥ n? Why?

(iii) Is t ⊥ l? Why?

  • (i) Is m ∥ n? Why?

Yes, m ∥ n. Perpendiculars drawn to the same line (t) in the same plane are parallel to each other because their corresponding interior angles are both equal to 90°.

  • (ii) Is l ∥ n? Why?

Yes, l ∥ n. Given that l ∥ m, and we proved m ∥ n. Lines parallel to the same line are parallel to each other.

  • (iii) Is t ⊥ l? Why?

Yes, t ⊥ l. Since t ⊥ m and l ∥ m, a line perpendicular to one of two parallel lines is also perpendicular to the other parallel line.

Question 3

In the given figure a b c and…


📝 Question:

In the given figure a ∥ b ∥ c and l and m are two transversals. If PQ = QR, is ON = NS? Why?

💡 Solution:

Yes, ON = NS**.

According to the Equal Intercepts Theorem, if three parallel lines (a, b, c) produce equal intercepts on one transversal line (l, i.e., PQ = QR), then they produce equal intercepts on any other transversal line (m) as well. Hence, ON = NS.

Question 4

In the given figure AB DC EF AB…


📝 Question:

In the given figure AB ∥ DC, EF ∥ AB and E is the midpoint for the line segment AD, then

💡 Solution:

(i) Is AB ∥ EF ∥ DC? Why?**

(ii) Is F, the midpoint for the line segment CB? Why?

  • (i) Is AB ∥ EF ∥ DC? Why?

Yes, AB ∥ EF ∥ DC. Since AB ∥ DC and EF ∥ AB, lines parallel to the same line are parallel to each other (EF ∥ DC).

  • (ii) Is F, the midpoint for the line segment CB? Why?

Yes, F is the midpoint of CB. Since E is the midpoint of AD, AE = ED (equal intercepts on transversal AD). By the equal intercepts theorem, parallel lines AB, EF, DC cut equal intercepts on transversal CB as well, making BF = FC. Thus, F is the midpoint of CB.

Question 5

In the given figure l m n will…


📝 Question:

In the given figure l ∥ m ∥ n, will the ratio of the intercepts be equal?

💡 Solution:

Yes, the ratio of intercepts will be equal** (AB/BC = DE/EF).

When three parallel lines are intersected by two transversals, the ratio of corresponding intercepts cut on the parallel lines by the transversals is always equal.

Question 6

If line segments DA CB and OM are…


📝 Question:

If line segments DA, CB and OM are perpendicular on segment AB, where O is the intersecting point for line segments AC and DB. If OA = 2.4 cm and OC = 3.6 cm, then find out

💡 Solution:

(i) AM/BM**

(ii) If BO = 3 cm, find the value of DO.

  • (i) Finding AM/BM:
  • (ii) Finding DO when BO = 3 cm:

Question 1

In the given figure DE BC if AD…


📝 Question:

In the given figure DE ∥ BC, if AD = 1.5 cm, DB = 3 cm & EC = 4 cm then find out the measure of AE

💡 Solution:

In △ ABC, DE ∥ BC, AD = 1.5 cm, DB = 3 cm, EC = 4 cm.

  • By Basic Proportionality Theorem (Thales Theorem) / :

AD/DB = AE/EC

1.5/3 = AE/4

1/2 = AE/4

AE = 4/2 = 2 cm

Question 2

Draw a line segment AB of 75 cm…


📝 Question:

Draw a line segment AB of 7.5 cm and divide it into 3 equal parts. Measure the length of each part

💡 Solution:

  • Calculated Length of each part / :

Length of each part = (7.5 cm)/(3) = 2.5 cm

  1. Draw line segment AB = 7.5 cm.
  2. Draw ray AC making an acute angle with AB at point A.
  3. Cut 3 equal arcs C1, C2, C3 on ray AC using compass (AC1 = C_1C2 = C_2C3).
  4. Join C3 to B.
  5. Draw lines parallel to BC3 through C2 and C1 intersecting AB at B2 and B1.
  6. Each part measures AB1 = B_1B2 = B_2B = 2.5 cm.

Question 3

Draw a line segment of 84 cm divide…


📝 Question:

Draw a line segment of 8.4 cm & divide it into seven equal parts. Measure the length of each part

💡 Solution:

  • Calculated Length of each part / :

Length of each part = (8.4 cm)/(7) = 1.2 cm

  1. Draw line segment AB = 8.4 cm.
  2. Draw ray AC at point A making an acute angle.
  3. Mark 7 equal arcs C1, C2, …, C7 on ray AC.

📝 Question:

Divide a line segment of 10 cm into ratio of 2 : 3

💡 Solution:

Line segment AB = 10 cm, Ratio = 2 : 3.

  • Calculation of Lengths / :
  • Sum of ratio parts = 2 + 3 = 5.
  • First Part (AP) = 2/5 × 10 cm = 4 cm
  • Second Part (PB) = 3/5 × 10 cm = 6 cm
  1. Draw AB = 10 cm and ray AC making an acute angle at A.
  2. Cut 2 + 3 = 5 equal arcs C1, C2, C3, C4, C5 on ray AC.
  3. Join C5 to B.
  4. Draw a line parallel to BC5 through C2 intersecting AB at point P.
  5. Point P divides AB in the ratio 2 : 3 (AP = 4 cm and PB = 6 cm).

Question 5

Draw a line segment AB of 7 cm…


📝 Question:

Draw a line segment AB of 7 cm. Find a point P on this in such a way that AP/AB = 2/5

💡 Solution:

AB = 7 cm, AP/AB = 2/5.

  • AP = 2/5 × 7 cm = 14/5 cm = 2.8 cm
  • PB = AB – AP = 7 – 2.8 = 4.2 cm
  1. Draw line segment AB = 7 cm.
  2. Draw ray AC making an acute angle at A.
  3. Mark 5 equal arcs C1, C2, C3, C4, C5 on ray AC.
  4. Join C5 to B.

Question 6

In the given figure AD 8 cm BD…


📝 Question:

In the given figure AD = 8 cm, BD = 4 cm and AE = 9 cm, EC = 4.5 cm. Is DE ∥ BC? Why?

💡 Solution:

Yes, DE ∥ BC. By the Converse of Basic Proportionality Theorem (Thales Theorem)**, if a line divides two sides of a triangle in the same ratio, then the line is parallel to the third side.
