Short Answer Type Questions

Question. If we draw a perpendicular bisector of a line segment AB = 9 cm which bisects AB at M, then find AM and BM.
Answer : Since, perpendicular bisector of a line segment divides it into two equal parts.
∴ AM = BM = 9/2 cm = 4.5 cm

Question. Find the measure of each of the two angles formed by bisecting an angle of measure 135°.
Answer : The measure of each of the two angles formed by bisecting an angle of measure 135° = 1/2 × 135° = 67.5°.

Question. Can a ΔXYZ be constructed, in which XY = 5 cm, ∠X = 50° and YZ + XZ = 5 cm?
Answer : No, ΔXYZ can’t be constructed.
Since, sum of two sides of triangle must be greater than third side, but here, XY = YZ + XZ.

Question. What is the length of bisected part of a line segment 7.8 cm?
Answer : We know that bisector of the line, divides it into two equal parts.
∴ Length of bisected part of a line segment measuring 7.8 cm = 1/2 (7.8) cm = 3.9 cm.

Question. If we bisect a line segment AB, then each of the equal part we get measures 3.8 cm. Find the length of AB.
Answer : If we bisect line segment AB, then we get each part equal to 3.8 cm.
∴ Length of AB = 2 × 3.8 cm = 7.6 cm

Question. In order to construct a triangle uniquely,
how many minimum parts of triangle are required to be given?
Answer : To construct a triangle uniquely, we are required at least three values like, 2 sides and 1 included angle or 2 angles and 1 included side or all three sides.

Question. Can a DABC be constructed in which ∠B = 110°, ∠C = 95° and AB = 10 cm? Justify your answer
Answer : No, as we know that sum of all three angles of a triangle is 180°.
But, here ∠B + ∠C = 110° + 95° = 205° > 180°
∴ ΔABC cannot be constructed with given conditions

Question. Give reason:
(i) Construction of an angle of 22.5° is possible with the help of ruler and compass.
(ii) It is not possible to construct a DABC given that BC = 7 cm, ∠B = 45° and AB – AC = 10 cm.
(iii) We can construct an angle of 67.5° using ruler and compass.
(iv) Construction of ΔDEF, if EF = 5.5 cm, ∠E = 75° and DE – DF = 3 cm is possible
Answer : (i) Yes, because 22.5° = 45° ÷ 2 and 45° can be constructed.
(ii) Yes, it is not possible to construct a DABC in which BC = 7 cm and AB – AC = 10 cm with ∠B = 45° because the difference between the given two sides is not less than the third side.
(iii) Yes, we can construct an angle of 67.5°, because
67.5° = 135° ÷ 2 and 135° = 90° + 45°, which can be constructed.
(iv) Yes, it is possible to construct a DDEF in which EF = 5.5 cm, ∠E = 75° and DE – DF = 3 cm because the difference between the given two sides is less than the third side.
