Answer Key A ray is portion of a line starting at a point and going in one direction endlessly. A line segment corresponds to the shortest distance between two points. Two distinct lines meeting at a point are called intersecting lines. Two lines in a plane are said to be parallel if they do not meet . A ray has one end point and goes endlessly in other direction while line extends in both directions endlessly. A simple curve is one that does not cross itself. A curve is said to be closed if its ends are joined otherwise it is said to be open. A polygon is a simple closed curve made up of entirely line segments. An angle is made up of two rays starting from a common end point. Triangle. Quadrilateral. A circle is a path of a point moving at the same distance from a fixed point. A chord of a circle is a line segment joining any two points on the circle. Diameter. Two. Four. Acute angle. 90o. If an angle is larger than a right angle, but less than a straight angle, it is called an obtuse angle. Two right angles. Four right angles. 180o. False. True. A Triangle in which all the three sides are equal. Triangle in which two sides are equal is called isosceles triangle? Scalene triangle. If each angle is less than 90o, then the triangle is called an acute angled triangle. If any one angle of the triangle is a right angle then the triangle is a right angled triangle. If any one angle of the triangle is greater than 90o then the triangle is a obtuse angled triangle. A quadrilateral is a polygon which has four sides. True. Pentagon. Hexagon. 8. Cuboid, cylinder, cone, sphere, pyramid. We use a protractor to measure the size of an angle in degrees. True. True. Line segment.
