B. intersecting lines
C. perpendicular lines
D. equal lines
Section B: Short Answer Questions (2 × 10 = 20 marks)
1. Define a point. Write one model used in the chapter to represent a point.
2. Distinguish between a line segment and a line.
3. What is a ray? How is ray OA read?
4. Why can a complete picture of a line not be drawn on paper?
5. Name the parts of an angle and explain the meaning of the term vertex.
6. Why is ∠APB not written simply as ∠P?
7. What is meant by the size of an angle?
8. How can two angles be compared by superimposition?
9. What is an angle bisector?
10. State the degree measures of a full turn, a half turn and a right angle with figures.
Section C: Short Answer Questions (3 × 6 = 18 marks)
1. Mark any three points A, B and C on paper so that they are not on one line. How many lines can be
drawn through pairs of these points? Name the lines. How many angles can be named using A, B
and C?
2. Explain how a straight angle can be divided into two equal angles by folding paper. What is the
measure of each of the two angles formed?
3. A right angle is exactly half of a straight angle. Show this using degree measure and fraction of a
full turn.
4. The hands of a clock make an angle of 30° at 1 o'clock. Find the angle at 2 o'clock, 4 o'clock and 6
o'clock, and explain the pattern.
5. Why does the possibility of passing a rotating arm through a slit depend only on the angle between
the arms and not on their lengths?
6. Explain why an acute angle is called 'acute' and an obtuse angle is called 'obtuse'. Use the meaning
of the words and the shape of the angles.

2. A straight angle AOB is folded so that ray OB overlaps ray OA.
(a) What is the measure of ∠AOB?
(b) What is the measure of each angle formed by the crease?
(c) Why are the two angles equal?
(d) What is the name of the line that divides an angle into two equal parts?
3. A teacher asks students to compare ∠PQR and ∠XOY.
(a) State one method used in the chapter to compare angles.
(b) Explain how superimposition is done correctly.
(c) State why the vertices must overlap.
(d) Write what can be concluded when the two arms also overlap exactly.
4. The Ashoka Chakra has 24 spokes.
(a) Find the degree measure between two adjacent spokes.
(b) Find the largest acute angle formed between two spokes.
(c) State how you used the idea of a full turn in your solution.
