Question 1.
Here is a ray \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{O A}}\). It starts at O and passes through the points A and B.
Can you name ray \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{O A}}\) as \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{O B}}\)? Why?
Can you write the ray \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{O A}}\) as \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{A O}}\) ? Why ? Give reasons.
Answer:
The above ray starts from the point ‘O’ towards B so, it is named as \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{O B}}\).
\(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{OA}} \neq \overrightarrow{\mathrm{AO}}\) since the ray starts from 0 i.e., it should be represented by only \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{O A}}\).

Question 1.
Take some match sticks and try to make simple figures. Identify closed figures in them.
Answer:
Question 2.
What is the least number of sticks needed to form a closed figure ? Obviously three. Can you explain why two match sticks can not make a closed figure.
Answer:
Minimum number of sticks that are needed to form a closed figure are 3. If we take less than 3 sticks it will become a open figure.
Question 3.
Take some straw pieces of diffrent size. Pass thread into any 3 pieces and make different triangles. Draw figures for the tiangles in your notebook.

Question 1.
Take four points A, B, C and D such that A, B, C lie on the same line and D is not on it. Can the four line segments \(\overline{\mathrm{A B}}, \overline{\mathrm{B C}}, \overline{\mathrm{C D}}\) and \(\overline{\mathrm{AD}}\) form a quadrilateral? Give reason.
Answer:
No, the given four line segments \(\overline{\mathrm{A B}}, \overline{\mathrm{B C}}, \overline{\mathrm{C D}}\) and \(\overline{\mathrm{AD}}\)
Can not form a quadrilateral.
To form a quadrilateral maximum two points should be collinear.

Question 1.
Draw a circle on a paper and cut ¡t along its edge. Fold it Into half and again fold it to one fourth to make folding marks as shown.
You will observe a point in the middle. Mark this O. This is the centre of the circle. You can also indicate its radius. How many radii can you draw in a circle ?
Answer:
Infinite number of radii we can draw in a circle.
Because infinite number of points are there on the circumference of the circle.
Question 2.
Draw a circle and draw at least 5 chords in it. Make sure at least one of them passes through the centre. Name them and fill the table.
S.No. | Chord | Length | Passes through the centre (Yes/No) |
1 | |||
2 | |||
3 | |||
4 | |||
5 |
What do you notice?
Answer:
S.No | Chord | Length | Passes through the centre (Yes/No) |
1 | AB | 5 | Yes |
2 | CD | 2 | No |
3 | EB | 1.5 | No |
4 | GH | 2.7 | No |
5 | FT | 2 | No |
I notice that a chord which passes through the centre of the circle is the largest chord of all the chords.

Question 1.
Is it possible to draw more than one diameter in a circle ? Are all the diameters equal in length ? Discuss with your friends and find the answer.
Answer:
We can draw infinite number of diameters in a circle.
All the lengths of diameters are equal in a circle.
Since \(\overline{\mathrm{AF}}=\overline{\mathrm{BG}}=\overline{\mathrm{CH}}\) = 2.5 cm
