(i) False. A line segment, however small, contains an infinite number of points in it.

(ii) True. A ray has only one end point (its starting point) and a line segment has two end points.

(iii) True. Of all the paths joining two given points, the line segment joining them is the shortest.

(v) (a) A line segment AB has 2 end points.

(b) A ray AB has 1 end point.

(c) A line AB has 0 end points.

(vi) A line and a ray extend endlessly, so their lengths are not fixed. Only a line segment has a definite length.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

From the figure,

∠AOB = x + 25° and ∠BOC = 3x + 15°

(i) Since AC is a straight line, ∠AOB and ∠BOC form a linear pair.

⇒ ∠AOB + ∠BOC = 180°

⇒ x + 25° + 3x + 15° = 180°

⇒ 4x + 40° = 180°

⇒ 4x = 140°

⇒ x = $\frac{140^{\circ}}{4}$

⇒ x = 35°

Hence, x = 35°.

(ii) ∠AOB = x + 25° = 35° + 25° = 60°

Hence, ∠AOB = 60°.

(iii) ∠BOC = 3x + 15° = 3 × 35° + 15° = 105° + 15° = 120°

Hence, ∠BOC = 120°.

= 90°

Since SR is a straight line, ∠SQP and ∠PQR form a linear pair.

⇒ ∠SQP + ∠PQR = 180°

⇒ 90° + ∠PQR = 180°

⇒ ∠PQR = 90°

Hence, ∠PQR = 90°.

Substituting values we get :

⇒ 2y° + y° = 180°

⇒ 3y° = 180°

⇒ y° = $\frac{180^{\circ}}{3}$

From the figure, the rays at B divide ∠ABC into three angles.

⇒ x + 20° + 2x + 1° + 7x − 11° = 90°

⇒ 10x + 10° = 90°

⇒ 10x = 80°

⇒ x = $\frac{80^{\circ}}{10}$

⇒ x = 8°

Hence, x = 8°.
