Question

1.
Mark three points on a sheet of paper and name them. Join the points. How many
line segments have you drawn?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Mark two points, A and B on a piece of paper and join them.

To measure the length of AB, place the ruler with its edge along AB, such that the zero mark of the cm side of the ruler coincides with point A, as shown in the figure. Now, read the mark on the ruler, which corresponds to the point B. The reading on the ruler at point B is the length of the line segment AB. Here, AB=5.6 cm.

To draw the line segment three times A, we draw a line / and take a point C on it. Now take a divider and open it, such that the end-points of both its arms are at A and B.

Then, we lift the divider and place one end-point at C and the other end-point on the line 1, as shown in the figure.

Let this point be E.

Again, lift the divider and place one end-pint at E and the other end-point on the line 1, opposite to C. Let this point be F.

Again, lift the divider and place one end-point at F and the other end-point on the line 1, opposite to C. Name this point D.
