Question 33

State whether the given statement is True or False.

If the arms of an angle on the paper are increased, the angle increases.

Answer 1

An angle is a measure of an arc between two rays at a common point called vertex.

In the above figure, the measure of $\angle BPY$ is ${45}^{\circ }$.

The measure of the $\angle BPY$ doesn't change with the change in the length of the adjacent sides.

$\therefore$ $\angle BPY$ = $\angle APY$ = ${45}^{\circ }$ .

The measure of an angle formed by arms never changes even if we alter the size of the arms.

Hence, the given statement that if the arms of an angle on the paper are increased, the angle increases is false.
