  1. $\displaystyle \frac{2\pi r}{6}$

  2. r

  3. $\displaystyle \frac{\pi r}{6}$

  4. $\displaystyle \frac{r}{2}$

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

$\Rightarrow$   Radius of a circle is $r$.

$\Rightarrow$   In regular hexagon all sides are equal.
$\Rightarrow$   The regular hexagon has 6 equilateral triangles. The diameter of the circle is $2r$ in this case, will coincide with 2 equilateral triangles. So the side of the hexagon will be $r$.
$\therefore$   Length of side of hexagon is $r$.

  2. $2m$

  3. $3m$

  4. $4m$

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

When constructing the circles circumscribing and inscribing a regular hexagon with radius $3$ m, then inscribing hexagon length of each side is $3$ m.

The area of a circle inscribed in a regular hexagon is $100\pi$. The area of the hexagon is:

  1. $600$

  2. $300$

  3. $200\sqrt { 2 } $

  4. $200\sqrt { 3 } $

  5. $200\sqrt { 5 } $

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Area of circle $=100\pi $
$\pi r^{2}=100\pi $
$r^{2}=100$
$r=10$
Now, a regular hexagon is made up of 6 equilateral $\bigtriangleup s $ of equal areas. Now, height of equilateral $\bigtriangleup  $ is equal to radius of circle.Therefore, ar. of 1 equilateral $\bigtriangleup=\dfrac {1}{2} $ x base x height
$\Rightarrow \dfrac {\sqrt{3}}{4}a^{2}=\dfrac {1}{2}a*10\Rightarrow a=\dfrac {4*10}{2\sqrt{3}}=\dfrac {20\sqrt{3}}{3} $
Area of hexagon $6\left ( \dfrac {\sqrt{3}}{4}a^{2} \right )=6*\dfrac {\sqrt{3}}{4}\dfrac {20\sqrt{3}}{3}\dfrac {20\sqrt{3}}{3}=200\sqrt{3}$

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

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

  1. $2.1\ cm$

  2. $4.2\ cm$

  3. $5.43\ cm$

  4. $3.3\ cm$

Show answer
Correct Option: A,B,D
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. $3.04\ cm$

Show answer
Correct Option: C
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 $

Show answer
Correct Option: A,C,D
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.

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. $4$

Show answer
Correct Option: A
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.
