Understanding Elementary Shapes Exercise 5.1 Solution :
(1) What is the disadvantage in comparing line segments by mere observation?
Solution :
There is a chances of errors in comparing line segments by mere observation.
(2) Why is it better to use a divider than a ruler, while measuring the length of a line segment?
Solution :
Measuring the length of a line segment it is better to use divider than a ruler because correct measurement will be possible.
(3) Draw any line segment, say AB. Take any point C lying in between A and B. Measure the lengths of AB, BC and AC. Is AB = AC + CB?
Solution :
Yes, AB = AC + CB
Because C is ‘between’ A and B .i.e. C is the midpoint of line AB.
