Question 1. In the below figure if AP=BP, AQ=BQ, then  AM=BM?
In The Below figure If AP=BP, AQ=BQ, Then  AM=BM? 
 
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    Data insufficient
  4.    Cannot be determined
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
In The Below figure If AP=BP, AQ=BQ, Then  AM=BM? In the given figure,
AP = BP (Given)
AQ = BQ (Given)
PQ is common.
So, Δ PAQ Δ PBQ (SSS rule).
APQ= BPQ (CPCT).
Also,AP = BP (Given) and PM is common
Hence, PMA PMB (SAS Rule)
So, AM = BM
Question 2. Each point on a/an  _________ is such that it forms an isosceles triangle with the end points of the given line segment.
  1.    perpendicular bisector
  2.    angular bisector
  3.    altitude
  4.    median
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> perpendicular bisector
:
A
Each Point On A/an  _________ Is Such That It Forms An Isos...
Consider the above figure.
Here, XY is the perpendicular bisector of a line AB.
Let P be any random point on XY.
In PMA PMB
AM = BM (Perpendicular bisector divides a line segment into two equal halves)
PMA =​ PMB = 90
Also PM is common side
So PMA PMB (SASRule)
PA = PB (CPCT)
Hence, PAB is an isosceles triangle.
So, the given statement is true.
Question 3. Which among the following angles cannot be constructed just by using a ruler and a compass?
  1.    30 degrees
  2.    60 degrees
  3.    70 degrees
  4.    90 degrees
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 70 degrees
:
C
All the standard angles and the angles which can be obtained by bisecting standard angles can be constructed just by using a ruler and compass. Here except 70 all other angles can be constructed using ruler and compass.
Question 4. In which of the following situations an angle bisector cannot be constructed to bisect the angle formed between two given lines?
  1.    Two intersecting lines
  2.    Two parallel lines
  3.    Two perpendicular lines
  4.    None of the above
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Two parallel lines
:
B
Since two parallel lines do not intersect each other, anangle cannotbe formed between them. Thus in this case, angle bisection is not possible.
Question 5. For constructing an angle of 60, we need to draw __ arc/arcs.
 Discuss Question

:
We need to draw just 2 arcs to draw a 60 angle. As shown in the figure below, the first arc should have P as a centre. The second arc should have the same radius as the first and should have B as a centre.
For constructing An Angle Of 60∘, We Need To Draw __ Arc/...
Question 6. In which of the following quadrilaterals, a diagonal is not an angle bisector?
  1.    Square
  2.    Rectangle
  3.    Rhombus
  4.    Parallelogram
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Rectangle
:
B
In the case of a rectangle, the diagonal is not an angle bisector.
Consider a rectangleABCD.
In Which Of The Following Quadrilaterals, A Diagonal Is Not ...
Here, ADB = DBC (Alternate angles)
But, DBC is not equal to BDC (Angles opposite to unequal sides of a triangle are unequal)
ADB is not equal to BDC
So, diagonal DB does not bisect D.
Question 7. For which of the following can a perpendicular bisector be drawn?
  1.    Line
  2.    Ray
  3.    Line segment
  4.    Both Line and Ray
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Line segment
:
C
A perpendicular bisector can be drawn only if a figure has end points. Only a line segment has a definite length and hence it can be bisected by a perpendicular bisector.
Question 8. A triangle ABC has base angle 45. It's perimeter is  [2+2]. What type of triangle is it?
  1.    Isosceles triangle
  2.    Right triangle
  3.    Can't be determined
  4.    Scalene triangle
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Can't be determined
:
C
The information given above is insufficient to construct a triangle. So, the triangle cannot be constructed and its characteristics can’t be determined.
Question 9. Two sides of a triangle have lengths of 5 units and 6 units respectively. Which of the following is a possible length for the third side?
  1.    11
  2.    12
  3.    13
  4.    10
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 10
:
D
In a triangle, the sum of thelengthsof any 2sidesof atrianglemust be greater than the thirdside. The third side can measure anything less than 11 units. Hence, the third side can be 10 units.
Question 10. For constructing a triangle with a given base, a base angle and difference between the other two sides, a ___ bisector is required.
 Discuss Question

:
The procedure for Triangle Construction 2 is:
1. Draw the base BC of ∆ABC as given and construct ∠XBC of the required measure at B as shown.
For Constructing A Triangle With A Given base, A Base Angle...
2. From the ray, BX cut an arc equal to AB – AC at point P and join it to C as shown
3. Draw the perpendicular bisector of PC and let it intersect BX at point A as shown:
For Constructing A Triangle With A Given base, A Base Angle...
4. Join AC, ∆ABC is the required triangle.
For Constructing A Triangle With A Given base, A Base Angle...
Hence, it is clear that a perpendicular bisector is required in the process.
