Question 71.


Which one of the polygons mentioned below are regular polygons?


  1.     Rhombus
  2.     Square
  3.     Rectangle
  4.     Isosceles triangle 
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Square
:
B

In a regular polygon, all the angles should be same and all the sides should be equal in length.In the given options, only square has all its sides equal and all its angles equal. 


Question 72.


If exactly two sides of a triangle are equal, then it is called a/an _______.


  1.     scalene triangle 
  2.     isosceles triangle 
  3.     equilateral triangle 
  4.     obtuse angled triangle
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> isosceles triangle 
:
B

If exactly two sides of a triangle are equal, then the triangle is called an isosceles triangle.


Question 73.


How many right angles do you need to add to get a straight angle?


__
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> isosceles triangle 
:

Two right angles = 90 + 90 = 180 = Straight angle.


Question 74.


Find which of the following are true:


1.All rhombuses are squares
2.All squares are rectangles
3.All rectangles are parallelograms
4.All parallelograms are quadrilaterals
5.All parallelograms are rhombuses


  1.     1, 2 and 3 
  2.     2, 3 and 4 
  3.     3, 4 and 5 
  4.     only 1 
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 2, 3 and 4 
:
B

Let us analyze them:



  1. Squares have all angles =90, which is not true for rhombuses.

  2. Rectangles have opposite sides equal and all angles =90, true for squares.

  3. Rectangles have opposite sides equal and parallel, true for parallelograms.

  4. Parallelograms have 4 sides, true for quadrilaterals.

  5. Parallelograms may have unequal sides, not true for rhombuses.


So, only 2, 3 and 4 are true.


Question 75.


If we consider the angle made between the hour hand and the minute hand, which of the following times make an acute angle?


  1.     04:30 
  2.     05:00 
  3.     06:00 
  4.     09:00 
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 04:30 
:
A

At 04:30, the angle between the hour hand and minute hand is less than 90 and at the other given times, the angle between the minute and the hour hand is more than 90o.


Question 76.


A line segment is defined as


  1.     a curved segment of line 
  2.     a line with finite length 
  3.     a line having one end-point 
  4.     same as line 
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> a line with finite length 
:
B

A line having a fixed/finite length is known as line segment. It can also be defined as a line having two end points. On the other hand, a line having one end point is known as Ray.


Question 77.


Which of the following are the perfect models of two perpendicular lines?


  1.     Corners of a triangular shaped table( its not a right angled triangle)
  2.     Railway tracks
  3.     Adjacent walls of a rectangular room.
  4.     The line segments that make the 'T' shape
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Adjacent walls of a rectangular room.
:
C and D

Corners of a triangular table which is not a right angled triangle are not perpendicular to each other.


Railway tracks are parallel.


The adjacent walls of a rectangular room are perpendicular to each other, so are the line segments that make 'T'.


Question 78.


Given line segments of lengths AB= 5 m, BC = 4 m, AC = 9m, which of the points lie between the other two? ​[1 MARK]


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Adjacent walls of a rectangular room.
:


Given that
The length of the line segment AB = 5m
The length of the line segment BC = 4m
The length of the line segment AC = 9m
The length of AB+BC = 9m = AC
According to the given conditions, AB + BC = AC. So, B lies in between A and C.


Given Line Segments Of Lengths AB= 5 M, BC = 4 M, AC = 9m, W...


Question 79.


What is the measure of an angle:
a) less than a right angle called?
b) greater than a right angle called?
[2 MARKS]


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Adjacent walls of a rectangular room.
:

Each Point: 1 Mark
We know that a right angle is equal to 90
a) Any angle less than a right angle is an acute angle.
b) If an angle is greater than 90 and less than 180, then it is called an obtuse angle.
If an angle is greater than 180 then it is called a reflex angle.


Question 80.


What fraction of a clockwise revolution does the hour hand of a clock turns through:
a) when it moves 
from 3 to 8?
b) when it moves from 3 to 9?
[2 MARKS]


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Adjacent walls of a rectangular room.
:

Each option: 1 Mark
When the hour hand completes one complete revolution it completes 360 degrees.


a) When the hour hand moves from 3 to 6 it covers 90 degrees. When it moves from 6 to 8 it covers 60 degrees. So, the angle covered when hour hand moves from 3 to 8 is 150 degrees.


Fraction that it has moved = 150360 = 512
b) When the hour hand of the clock moves from 3 to 9 it moves through two right angles.
So the angle it covers when it moves from 3 to 9 = 180
Fraction that it has moved = 180360 = 12
