Lines and Angles
Case Study Based Questions
Case Study 1
Satyam was playing with torch. He put mirrors at different places and threw torch
light over them. When he threw light, it got reflected as shown below in geometrical
figure.
On the basis of the above information, solve the following questions.
Solutions
1. (c)
In the given options, only points G, E and F lie in a line. Hence, it is collinear.
So, option (c) is correct.
Case Study 2
In a science experiment, a chemical was allowed to flow with high force and high
temperature on the floor and the results were recorded. The movement of chemical
is as shown in geometrical form as below.
On the basis of the above information, solve the following questions.
Q 1. Which of the following line segment is parallel?
a. PR and RQ b. PS and QR
c. SR and PR d. QR and RS
Q 2. Measure of angle x is:
a. 130° b. 125° c. 135° d. 140°
Q 3. Which of the following points are collinear?
a. S, P and R b. P, R and Q
c. P, R and T d. T, R and Q
Solutions
1. (b) In the given figure, line segments SP and QR are perpendicular to the line l.
Therefore, line. segments PS and QR are parallel.
So, option (b) is correct.
2. (c)
3. (c) As we know that three points are said to be collinear, if all three points lie in a
line.
In the given options, only points P, R and T lies on a line. Thus, they are collinear
points.
So, option (c) is correct.
4. (d) By definition of complete angle,
Case Study 3
After explaining the description of the figure, she asked the following questions from
the students.
On the basis of the above information, solve the following questions.
Solutions
3. (i) It is clear from the figure that points A, O and B form a collinear point.
(ii) It is clear from the figure that points C, O, E forms a non-collinear point.
Hence, points C, O, E form a non-collinear line.
4. From the given figure, CD is a line segment.
Therefore, the sum of all angles of the same side of a line is 180°.
