Given that:
Line l is perpendicular to line m.
a) We can clearly see from the above diagram that CE = 5-3= 2 units
Also, EG = 7-5 = 2 units
CE = EG = 2 units
b)As we have seen above CE = EG
So, E is the mid-point of line CG.
Line PE bisects CG.
c) We can see from the above figure that
BE = 5-2 = 5 units
HE = 8-5 = 3 units
E is the mid-point of the line BH.
Also given that line m is perpendicular to the line l.
PE is the perpendicular bisector of the line segment BH.
Also, we have seen above that PE is also the perpendicular bisector of line segment CG.
The required line segments are BH and CG.
Question 2. There is a circular track of length 400m. If you cover 270 of the track, what is the length you have covered while running?
  1.    100m
  2.    200m
  3.    300m 
  4.    400m 
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 300m 
:
C
If you cover 360 of the track , the length covered = 400m
So,
For 180, the length covered will be
=12(400m)=200m
For 90, the length covered will be
=12(200m)=100m
For 270, the length covered = length covered for 180+ length covered for 90
=200m+100m=300m
Question 3. Which of the following method gives the most accurate length of line segments?
  1.    Using a ruler 
  2.    Using a compass 
  3.    Using a divider and a ruler 
  4.    Observing the line segment and guessing the length 
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Using a divider and a ruler 
:
C
We can't measure length using a compass. By guessing, the length measured will be lessaccurate. By using ruler we can measure, but the accuracy decreases if the angle at which it isviewedis not appropriate. By using the divider and a ruler, we can measure the length moreaccurately.
Question 4. You start from your home at point A and run  100 m in West direction to reach point B. After that, you run  50 m in East direction to reach point C. Then you run 100 m in a South direction and reach point D. Which of the following is true?
  1.    AB⊥BC
  2.    BC⊥CD 
  3.    AB⊥CB
  4.    AD⊥CB
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> BC⊥CD 
:
B
If you draw the pathon a paper, you will find it similar to the figure below. We can see that BCCD.

Question 5. Identify the regular polygon/s from the following:
1.
Identify The Regular Polygon/s From The Following:1.2.3.
2.
Identify The Regular Polygon/s From The Following:1.2.3.
3.
Identify The Regular Polygon/s From The Following:1.2.3.
  1.    1, 2 and 3 
  2.    1 and 2 
  3.    2 and 3
  4.    1 and 3 
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 1 and 3 
:
D
In a regular polygon, all the angles should be equal in measureand all the sides should be equal in length. This is true only for figures 1 and 3.
Question 6. A rectangular prism is also known as __.
 Discuss Question

:
A rectangular prism is basically a cuboid. A cuboid has 6 faces and 12 edges.
A Rectangular Prism Is Also Known As __.
Question 7. You have points C, A and B on a straight line. AB = 13 cm, CB = 9 cm and AC = 4 cm. Which of the following options is true?
  1.    Point C lies between A and B 
  2.    Point B lies between A and C 
  3.    Point A lies between B and C 
  4.    Point B lies exactly between A and C 
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Point C lies between A and B 
:
A
We can see that AC + CB = 4 cm + 9 cm = 13 cm = AB. So, C lies between A and B.
Question 8. What is a line segment? How is it different from a line?
a. In fig how many points are marked? Name them.

b. In fig how many line segments are there? Name them.

Answer: 1 Mark
Given that:
ABCD is a rectangle.
E and F are the mid-points of the lines ACand BDrespectively.
AE=BF=EC=FD
Also, AH=HB=CG=GD [ H is mid point of AB , G is midpoint of CD ]
A,B,C andD are right angles.
The four sides of rectangle formed i.e. EHFG will have equal dimensions.
The length of all their diagonals will also be same.
EH=HF=FG=EG
All sides of the quadrilateral are equal.
So either it will be a Rhombus or a Square.
But for both of these quadrilaterals, the diagonals intersect at a right angle.
The angle formed between the diagonals is a right angle.

Question 10. A ball is thrown from point A and it reaches point B which is 7m away. There is another point C which lies somewhere on the line AB. Given that the ball follows a straight path, and AC = 9m, BC = 2m. Which is the point that lies in between  other two? Draw the path of the ball. [1 MARK]
 Discuss Question

:
Given that
Length of line AB = 7m
Length of line AC = 9m
Length of line BC = 2m
We can clearly see that the length of line AC > BC.
Also, AB + BC = AC
Point B lies between A and C.
AB + BC = AC.
