Multiple choice maths line segment construction of line segment and circle of given radius construction related to lines constructing line segment circumscribing and inscribing a circle on a regular hexagon

With the help of a normal ruler and a compass only, which of the following line segment is possible to construct?

  1. $2.1\ cm$
  2. $4.2\ cm$
  3. $5.43\ cm$
  4. $3.3\ cm$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A,B,D Correct answer
Explanation

Least count of normal scale is $.1\ \ cm$ that is minimum length that can be measured using a normal scale is $.1\ \ cm$.

So the lengths that can be measured are
$2.1\ \ cm,4.2\ \ cm$ and $3.3\ \ cm$
To measure $5.43$ we need a scale whose least count is $.001$

Which of the following line segments can be drawn with the help of a ruler and compass ?

  1. $1.234\ cm$
  2. $2.15\ cm$
  3. $2.5\ cm$
  4. $3.04\ cm$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Least count of normal scale is $.1\ \ cm$ that is minimum length that can be measured using a normal scale is $.1\ \ cm$

So only $2.5 \ \ cm$ can be measured using a ruler and compass.
Hence option $C$ is correct.

With the help of a normal ruler, which of the following line segment is possible to construct?

  1. $3.1\ cm$
  2. $4.234\ cm$
  3. $7.2\ cm$
  4. $1\ cm $
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A,C,D Correct answer
Explanation

Least count of normal scale is $.1\ \ cm$ that is minimum length that can be measured using a normal scale is $.1\ \ cm$

So the lengths that can be measures are
$3.1\ \ cm$$,7.2\ \ cm$ and $1cm\ \ $
Options $A,C$ and $D$ are correct.

Multiple choice maths line segment construction of line segment and circle of given radius construction related to lines constructing line segment circumscribing and inscribing a circle on a regular hexagon

The steps for constructing a line segment of given length are given in a jumbled order below:
1. Draw an arc on the line by keeping the pointed end of the compass on the point $A$. Mark the arc point as $B$.
2. Draw a line.
3. Extend the compass by keeping one end on the $0\ cm$ mark and other at the given length on the ruler.
4. Take a point $A$ anywhere on the line.

Which of the above steps comes last?

  1. $1$
  2. $2$
  3. $3$
  4. $4$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

For constructing a line segment of given length steps are following:

Step 1 : Draw a line(2).
Step 2 :Take a point $A$ anywhere on the line(4).
Step 3 : Extend the compass by keeping one end on the $0 \ \ cm$ mark and other at given length on ruler(3).
Step 4 :  Draw an arc on the line by keeping the pointed end of the compass on the point $A$ .Mark the arc point as $B.$(1)
So $1.$ is the last step.
Option $A$ is correct.

So option $B$ is correct.

Multiple choice maths line segment construction of line segment and circle of given radius construction related to lines constructing line segment circumscribing and inscribing a circle on a regular hexagon

Construct a line segment of length $8.4\ cm$. Divide this line into $3$ equal parts and find the length of each part.

  1. $2.4\ cm$
  2. $4.2\ cm$
  3. $1.8\ cm$
  4. $2.8\ cm$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Let length of each part $=x$

Lenght of three parts $=3x$
Given $3x=8.4$
$x=\dfrac{8.4}{3}=2.8$ cm

State whether true/false
We can construct a copy of a line segment of length $2.345$ using scale/compass.

  1. True

  2. False
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Yes, we can construct a copy of line segment of length $2.345$ using scale/compass. By using scale/compass we measure the length and by stretching the compass & cut the same length of line.
