Exercise 5.1 page no: 88
1. What is the disadvantage in comparing line segments by mere observation?
Solutions:
By mere observation we can’t compare the line segments with slight difference in their length. We can’t say which line segment is of greater length. Hence, the chances of errors due to improper viewing are higher.
2. Why is it better to use a divider than a ruler, while measuring the length of a line segment?
Solutions:
While using a ruler, chances of error occur due to thickness of the ruler and angular viewing. Hence, using divider accurate measurement is possible.
3. Draw any line segment, say 
. Take any point C lying in between A and B. Measure the lengths of AB, BC and AC. Is AB = AC + CB?
Solutions:
Since given that point C lie in between A and B. Hence, all points are lying on same line segment
. Therefore for every situation in which point C is lying in between A and B we may say that
AB = AC + CB
For example:
AB is a line segment of length 7 cm and C is a point between A and B such that AC = 3 cm and CB = 4 cm.
Hence, AC + CB = 7 cm
Since, AB = 7 cm
∴ AB = AC + CB is verified.
4. If A, B, C are three points on a line such that AB = 5 cm, BC = 3 cm and AC = 8 cm, which one of them lies between the other two?
Solutions:
Given AB = 5 cm
BC = 3 cm
AC = 8 cm
Now, it is clear that AC = AB + BC
Hence, point B lies between A and C.
5. Verify whether D is the mid point of 
.
Solutions:
Since, it is clear from the figure that AD = DG = 3 units. Hence, D is the midpoint of 
6. If B is the mid point of 
and C is the mid point of 
, where A, B, C, D lie on a straight line, say why AB = CD?
Solutions:
Given
B is the midpoint of AC. Hence, AB = BC (1)
C is the midpoint of BD. Hence, BC = CD (2)
From (1) and (2)
AB = CD is verified
7. Draw five triangles and measure their sides. Check in each case, if the sum of the lengths of any two sides is always less than the third side.
Solutions:
Case 1. In triangle ABC
AB= 2.5 cm
BC = 4.8 cm and
AC = 5.2 cm
AB + BC = 2.5 cm + 4.8 cm
= 7.3 cm
As 7.3 > 5.2
∴ AB + BC > AC
Hence, the sum of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side.
Case 2. In triangle PQR
PQ = 2 cm
QR = 2.5 cm
PR = 3.5 cm
PQ + QR = 2 cm + 2.5 cm
= 4.5 cm
As 4.5 > 3.5
∴ PQ + QR > PR
Hence, the sum of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side.
Case 3. In triangle XYZ
XY = 5 cm
YZ = 3 cm
ZX = 6.8 cm
XY + YZ = 5 cm + 3 cm
= 8 cm
As 8 > 6.8
∴ XY + YZ > ZX
Hence, the sum of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side.
Case 4. In triangle MNS
MN = 2.7 cm
NS = 4 cm
MS = 4.7 cm
MN + NS = 2.7 cm + 4 cm
6.7 cm
As 6.7 > 4.7
∴ MN + NS > MS
Hence, the sum of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side.
Case 5. In triangle KLM
KL = 3.5 cm
LM = 3.5 cm
KM = 3.5 cm
KL + LM = 3.5 cm + 3.5 cm
= 7 cm
As 7 cm > 3.5 cm
∴ KL + LM > KM
Hence, the sum of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side.
Therefore, we conclude that the sum of any two sides of a triangle is always greater than the third side.
Exercise 5.2 page no: 91
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
Solutions:
We know that in one complete clockwise revolution, hour hand will rotate by 3600
(a) When hour hand goes from 3 to 9 clockwise, it will rotate by 2 right angles or 1800
∴ Fraction = 1800 / 3600
= 1 / 2
(b) When hour hand goes from 4 to 7 clockwise, it will rotate by 1 right angle or 900
∴ Fraction = 900 / 3600
= 1 / 4
(c) When hour hand goes from 7 to 10 clockwise, it will rotate by 1 right angle or 900
∴ Fraction = 900 / 3600
= 1 / 4
(d) When hour hand goes from 12 to 9 clockwise, it will rotate by 3 right angles or 2700
∴ Fraction = 2700 / 3600
= 3 / 4
(e) When hour hand of a clock goes from 1 to 10 clockwise, it will rotate by 3 right angles or 2700
∴ Fraction = 2700 / 3600
= 3 / 4
(f) When hour hand goes from 6 to 3 clockwise, it will rotate by 3 right angles or 2700
∴ Fraction = 2700 / 3600
= 3 / 4

(d) starts at 5 and makes 3 / 4 of a revolution, clockwise?
Solutions:
We know that one complete clockwise revolution, hour hand will rotate by 3600
(a) When hour hand of a clock starts at 12 and makes 1 / 2 revolution clockwise, it will rotate by 1800.
Hence, the hour hand of a clock will stop at 6.
(b) When hour hand of a clock starts at 2 and makes 1 / 2 revolution clockwise, it will rotate by 1800
Hence, the hour hand of a clock will stop at 8.
(c) When hour hand of a clock starts at 5 and makes 1 / 4 revolution clockwise, it will rotate by 900
Hence, hour hand of a clock will stop at 8.
(d) When hour hand of a clock starts at 5 and makes 3 / 4 revolution clockwise, it will rotate by 2700
Hence, hour hand of a clock will stop at 2

(e) Square is also a parallelogram.
Solutions:
(a) A rectangle in which all the interior angles are of same measure i.e 900 and only opposite sides of the rectangle are of same length whereas in square all the interior angles are of 900 and all the sides of the square are of same length. Hence, a rectangle with all sides equal becomes a square. Therefore square is a special rectangle.
(b) In a parallelogram opposite sides are parallel and equal. In a rectangle opposite sides are parallel and equal. The interior angles of the rectangle are of same measure i.e 900. Hence, a parallelogram with each angle as right angle becomes a square. Therefore a rectangle is a special parallelogram
(c) All sides of a rhombus and square are equal but in case of square all interior angles are of 900. A rhombus with each angle as right angle becomes a square. Therefore a square is a special rhombus
(d) Since, all are closed figures with 4 line segments. Hence all are quadrilaterals
(e) Opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal and parallel whereas in a square opposite sides are parallel and all 4 sides are of same length. Therefore a square is a special parallelogram.
3. A figure is said to be regular if its sides are equal in length and angles are equal in measure. Can you identify the regular quadrilateral?

Define angles and its types covered under NCERT Solutions for Class 6 Maths Chapter 5.
Based on the degree, an angle can be classified into 3 main types:
1. Acute angle: When an angle measure is less than a right angle, it is called an acute angle.
2. Obtuse angle: When an angle measures more than a right angle but less than a straight angle, it is called an obtuse angle.
3. Reflex angle: When an angle measures more than a straight angle, it is called a reflex angle.
