1. What drawback exists in comparing line segments purely through observation?

Explanation:

We cannot compare the line segments with a tiny length difference by simple observation. We are unable to determine which line segment is longer. As a result, the likelihood of errors brought on by inappropriate sight is higher.


2. Why is it better to use a divider than a ruler, while measuring the length of a line segment?

Explanation:

Errors can happen when using a ruler because of its thickness and angular viewing. Hence, precise measuring is feasible when employing dividers.


3. Draw whatever line segment you like, such as a (AB). Take a look at any location C between A and B. AB, BC, and AC are measured in length. Is AB equal to AC + CB?

Explanation:

Considering 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑝𝑜𝑖𝑛𝑡 𝑐 is located halfway between the letters a and b. As a result, all points are located on the same  line segment of the →→. Hence, we may state that in every instance AB

where point C is located between A and B. A = CB + AC

For instance:

C is a position between 𝐴 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐵 such that 𝐴𝐶 = 3cm and 𝐶𝐵 = 4 cm, and AB is a line segment of length AB of 7 cm.

Therefore, 𝐴𝐶 + 𝐶𝐵 = 7

𝑆𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝐴𝐵 = 7 𝑐𝑚

𝐴 = 𝐵𝐶 + 𝐴𝐵 is confirmed.


4. Which point is between 𝑨 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑩 if 𝑨, 𝑩, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑪 are three points on a line where 𝑨𝑩 =𝟓 𝒄𝒎, 𝑩𝑪 = 𝟑𝒄𝒎, and 𝑨𝑪 = 𝟖 𝒄𝒎?

Explanation:

assuming 𝐴𝐵 = 5 𝑐𝑚

𝐵𝐶 = 3 𝑐𝑚

𝐴𝐶 = 8 𝑐𝑚

now evident that 𝐴𝐶 = 𝐴𝐵 + 𝐵𝐶

𝑃𝑜𝑖𝑛𝑡 𝐵 is thus situated between 𝐴 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐶.


5. Confirm that 𝑫 lies at 𝒕𝒉𝒆 → midpoint.

Explanation:

NCERT Solutions for Class 6 Maths Chapter 5 Exercise 5.1 - 8

Given

The middle of AC is B. Hence, 𝐴𝐵 Equals 𝐵𝐶 (1)

𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑚𝑖𝑑𝑝𝑜𝑖𝑛𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝐵𝐷 is C. Thus, 𝐵𝐶 = 𝐶𝐷 (2)

Using (1)𝑎𝑛𝑑 (2)

CD = 𝐴𝐵 is confirmed.


7. Draw five triangles, then count their sides. In each instance, verify that the third side is always smaller than the sum of the lengths of any two sides.

Explanation:

Case 1: In the triangle ABC,



NCERT Solutions for Class 6 Maths Chapter 5 Exercise 5.1 - 9

AB equals 2.5 𝑐𝑚

𝐵𝐶 = 4.8 𝑐𝑚

𝐴𝐶 = 5.2 𝑐𝑚

A + B = 2.5 𝑐𝑚 plus 4.8 𝑐𝑚 = 7.3 𝑐𝑚

𝐴𝑠 7.3 > 5.2

𝐵𝐶 = 𝐴𝐵 > 𝐴𝐶

As a result, the third side Of a triangle is bigger than the total of any two of its sides.


8. Draw five triangles, then count their sides. In each instance, verify that the third side is always smaller than the sum of the lengths of any two sides.

NCERT Solutions for Class 6 Maths Chapter 5 Exercise 5.1 - 10

𝑄𝑅 = 2.5 𝑐𝑚

𝑃𝑅 = 3.5 𝑐𝑚

𝑃𝑄 + 𝑄𝑅 equals 2 𝑐𝑚 + 2.5 𝑐𝑚 = 4.5 𝑐𝑚

𝐴𝑠 4.5 > 3.5

𝑃𝑄 + 𝑄𝑅 = 𝑃𝑅

NCERT Solutions for Class 6 Maths Chapter 5 Exercise 5.1 - 11



𝑌𝑍 = 3 𝑐𝑚

𝑍𝑋 = 6.8 𝑐𝑚

NCERT Solutions for Class 6 Maths Chapter 5 Exercise 5.1 - 12

𝑁𝑆 = 4 𝑐𝑚

𝑀𝑆 = 4.7 𝑐𝑚

𝑁𝑆 + 𝑀𝑁 = 2.7 𝑐𝑚 + 4 𝑐𝑚 = 6.7 𝑐𝑚

𝐿𝑀 = 3.5 𝑐𝑚

𝐾𝑀 = 3.5 𝑐𝑚

𝐾𝐿 + 𝐿𝑀 = 3.5 𝑐𝑚 + 3.5 𝑐𝑚 = 7 𝑐𝑚
