Questions
1. What is the disadvantage in comparing line segments by mere observation?
2. Why is it better to use a divider than a ruler, while measuring the length of a line segment?
3. 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, hen we can be sure that C
lies between A and B.]
4. If A, B, C are three points on a line such that AB = 5 cm, BC = 3cm and AC = 8 cm, which one of
them lies between the other two?
5. Verify whether D is the mid-point of AG.
6. 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?
7. Draw five triangles and measure their sides. Check in each case, of the sum of the lengths of
any two sides is always less than the third side.

Answers
1. There may be chance of error due to improper viewing.
2. It is better to use a divider than a ruler, because the thickness of the ruler may cause
difficulties in reading off her length. However divider gives up accurate measurement.
3. Yes.
AB = 6.5 cm, AC = 3cm, CB = 3.5 cm
AC + CB = 3 cm + 3.5 cm = 6.5 cm = AB
4. AC is the longest line segment, thus B is the point between A and C.
5. AD = 3 units, DG = 3 units
AD = DG.
Thus, D is the mid-point.
6. B is the mid-point of AC .
∴ AB = BC ……….(i)
And C is the mid-point of BD .
∴ BC = CD ……….(ii)
From eq. (i) and (ii),
AB = CD
7. Yes, sum of two sides of a triangle is always greater than the third side.
