Understanding Elementary Shapes

EXERCISE 5.1

Q.1) What is the disadvantage in comparing line segments by mere observation?
Sol.1) When we compare two line segments by observation, the minute difference between the two of them cannot be observed and hence there are more chances of errors.

Q.2) Why is it better to use a divider than a ruler, while measuring the length of a line.
Sol.2) A ruler and a divider can be used to measure the length of a line segment. But, it is better to use a divider for an accurate measure. The thickness of the ruler and the positioning of the eye may cause difficulties in reading the correct measure.

Q.3) Draw any line segment, say C lying in between A. Measure the lengths of AB, BC and AC.
Is 𝐴𝐡 = 𝐴𝐢 + 𝐢𝐡? [Note: If A,B,C are any three points on a line such that 𝐴𝐢 +
𝐢𝐡 = 𝐴𝐡, then we that C lies between A and B.]
Sol.3) It is given that point C is lying somewhere in between A & B. Therefore, all these points lying on the same line segment 𝐴𝐡. Hence, for every situation in which point 𝐢 is lying in between 𝐴 & 𝐡 , it may be say that 𝐴𝐡 = 𝐴𝐢 + 𝐢𝐡
Consider a line segment 𝐴𝐡 of length = 8 π‘π‘š.
Now, mark a point C at 𝐴𝐢 = 5 π‘π‘š
Measure 𝐢𝐴.
We see that the length of 𝐢𝐴 = 3 π‘π‘š
i.e., 𝐴𝐡 = 𝐴𝐢 + 𝐢𝐡
Therefore, for any point C lying in between A and B on the line AB, the above is true.

""NCERT-Solution-Class-6-Maths-Understanding-Elementary-Shapes

Q.4) If A, B, C are three points on a line such that AB = 5 cm, BC = 3 cm and one of them lies between the other two?
Sol.4) It is given that 𝐴𝐡 = 5 π‘π‘š, 𝐡𝐢 = 3 π‘π‘š and 𝐴𝐢 = 8 π‘π‘š.
From the given measures, we can see that
𝐴𝐡 + 𝐡𝐢 = 8 π‘π‘š = 𝐴𝐢
⃑𝐴 𝐢 is the longest line segment, thus B is the point between A and C.
We can say this because 𝐴𝐢 > 𝐴𝐡 and 𝐴𝐢 > 𝐡𝐢.

Q.5) Verify, whether D is the midpoint of AB↔

""NCERT-Solution-Class-6-Maths-Understanding-Elementary-Shapes-1

Sol.5) From the figure above,
𝐴𝐷 = 4 – 1 = 3 π‘π‘š
𝐷𝐺 = 7 – 4 = 3 π‘π‘š
Since, AD = DG = 3 cm, D is the mid-point of the line segment AG.

Q.6) If B is the mid-point of AC and C is the mid-point of BD, where 𝐴, 𝐡, 𝐢, 𝐷 lie on a straight line, say why 𝐴𝐡 = 𝐢𝐷?
Sol.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

Q.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.
Sol.7) Yes, sum of two sides of a triangle is always greater than the third side.

""NCERT-Solution-Class-6-Maths-Understanding-Elementary-Shapes-2

In figure (a),
Sum of two sides = 5.2 + 5.2 = 10.4 𝑒𝑛𝑖𝑑
Third side of triangle = 5.2 π‘π‘š
In figure (b),
Sum of two sides = 15 + 8 = 23 𝑒𝑛𝑖𝑑𝑠
Third side of triangle = 17 π‘π‘š
In figure (c),
Sum of two sides = 10 + 9 = 19 𝑒𝑛𝑖𝑑
Third side of triangle = 15 π‘π‘š
In figure (d),
Sum of two sides = 5 + 5 = 10 𝑒𝑛𝑖𝑑𝑠
Third side of triangle = 8 π‘π‘š

Exercise 5.2

Q.1) What fraction of a clockwise revolution does the hour hand of a clock turn through, when it goes from?
(a) 3 to 9 (b) 4 to 7 (c) 7 to 10 (d) 12 to 9 (e) 1 to 10
(f) 6 to 3
Sol.1) When the hand of a clock moves from one position to another, it turns through an angle.
When it moves from 12 to 12, it moves four right angles, that is, 360Β° which is one revolution.
When it moves from 12 to 6, it moves two right angles, that is, 180Β°. This is 180/360 = Β½ of one revolution.

""NCERT-Solution-Class-6-Maths-Understanding-Elementary-Shapes-3

""NCERT-Solution-Class-6-Maths-Understanding-Elementary-Shapes-4

""NCERT-Solution-Class-6-Maths-Understanding-Elementary-Shapes-5

When the hour hand of the clock goes from 6 to 3, it rotates by 3 right angles, that is = 270Β°. Fraction of revolution = 270Β°/360Β° = 3/4

Q.2) Where will the hand of a clock stop if it?
(a) starts at 12 and makes 1/2 of a revolution, clockwise?
(b) starts at 2 and makes 1/2 of a revolution, clockwise?
(c) starts at 5 and makes 1/4 of a revolution, clockwise?
(d) starts at 5 and makes 3/4 of a revolution, clockwise?
Sol.2) A complete revolution is measured as 360Β°. 
1/2 of a revolution is 360Β°'/2 = 180Β°. 
1/2 of a revolution is 0Β°. 3/4 of a revolution is 270Β°
a) The hand of the clock starts at 12 and makes 1/2 of a revolution. That is, it starts at 12 and revolves 180Β° and stops at 6.
b) The hand starts at 2 and makes 1/2 of a revolution. That is, it starts at 2 and revolves 180Β° and stops at 8.
c) When the hand starts at 5 and makes 1/4 of a revolution, that is, 90Β°, it stops at 9.
d) When the hand starts at 5 and makes 3/4 of a revolution, that is 270Β°, it stops at 2.

Q.3) Which direction will you face if you start facing
(a) East and make 1/2 of a revolution clockwise?
(b) East and make 1(1/2) of a revolution clockwise?
(c) West and make ΒΎ of a revolution anti-clockwise?
(d) South and make one full revolution?
(Should we specify clockwise or anti-clockwise for this last question? Why not?)
Sol.4

""NCERT-Solution-Class-6-Maths-Understanding-Elementary-Shapes-

a) When you start facing east and make 1/2 of a revolution, you revolve by 180Β°. Hence, you would be facing west.
b) When you start facing east and make 1 revolution clockwise, you face east again. Then you make another 1/2 of a revolution, that is, 180Β°. Hence, you would be facing west.
c) When you start facing west and make ΒΎ of a revolution anti-clockwise, you revolve by 270Β°. This is by 180Β°and then by 90Β°. When you revolve by 180Β°anti-clockwise you face east and then you revolve by 90Β° anti-clockwise, you face north.
d) When you start facing south and make a full revolution, that is 360Β°you will again face the south. The direction, whether clockwise or anticlockwise, does not matter in this case because a full revolution will bring back to the initial position.

Q.4) What part of a revolution have you turned through if you stand facing
(a) east and turn clockwise to face north?
(b) south and turn clockwise to face east?
(c) west and turn clockwise to face east?
Sol.4)
The following image shows the directions, north (N), south (S), east (E) and west (W).
When you stand facing north and turn clockwise to face east, you have turned by a right angle, i.e. 90Β°.
So, you have made 1/4th of a complete revolution
a) You stand facing east and turn clockwise to face north.

""NCERT-Solution-Class-6-Maths-Understanding-Elementary-Shapes-7
So, you have turned 90Β° + 90Β° + 90Β° = 270Β° from East to North in the clock-wise direction. This is 270Β°/360Β° = 3/4 th of the complete revolution.
b) You start from south and turn clockwise to face east.

""NCERT-Solution-Class-6-Maths-Understanding-Elementary-Shapes-8

So, you have turned 90Β° + 90Β° = 180Β° from West to East in the clock-wise direction.
This is 180Β°/360Β° = 1/2 of the complete revolution.

Q.5) Find the number of right angles turned through by the hour hand of a clock when it goes from
(a) 3 to 6 (b) 2 to 8 (c) 5 to 11
(d) 10 to 1 (e) 12 to 9 (f) 12 to 6
Sol.5)
When the hour hand of a clock moves from 12 to 3, from 3 to 6, from 6 to 9 and from 9 to 12, it makes a right angle. So, when the hour hand of a clock turns four right angles, it is said to make a complete revolution, 360Β°.
a) 3 to 6

""NCERT-Solution-Class-6-Maths-Understanding-Elementary-Shapes-9
The hour hand turned 1 right angle.
b) 2 to 8

""NCERT-Solution-Class-6-Maths-Understanding-Elementary-Shapes-10

Q.6) How many right angles do you make if you start facing?
(a) south and turn clockwise to west?
(b) north and turn anti
(c) west and turn to west?
(d) south and turn to north?
Sol.6) The following image shows the directions, north (N), south (S), east (E) and west (W).
When you stand facing north and turn clockwise to face east, you have turned by a right angle, i.e. 90Β°.

""NCERT-Solution-Class-6-Maths-Understanding-Elementary-Shapes-12

c) You start facing west and turn to west you have made one complete revolution, which is four right angles.
d) When you start facing south and turn to north you have made two right angles.

Q.7) Where will the hour hand of a clock stop if it starts
(a) from 6 and turns through 1 right angle?
(b) from 8 and turns through 2 right angles?
(c) from 10 and turns through 3 right angles?
(d) from 7 and turns through 2 straight angles?
Sol.7) a) When the hour hand starts from 6 and turns through 1 right angle, it will stop at 9.
b) When the hour hand starts from 8 and turns through 2 right angles, it will stop at 2. [8 to 11 is one right angle, 11 to 2 is the second right angle]
c) When the hour hand starts from 10 and turns through 3 right angles, it stops at 7. [10 to 1 is one right angle, 1 to 4 is the second and 4 to 7 is the third right angle.]
d) When the hour hand starts from 7 and turns through 2 straight angles, that is 360Β°, it stops at 7.
