Q1. (4 marks — 1 each)
- (a) → (iii): a segment has two endpoints, so definite length.
- (b) → (iv): a ray starts at one endpoint, extends infinitely one way.
- (c) → (i): a point marks position only, no dimension.
- (d) → (ii): a line extends infinitely both directions.
Q2. (4 marks — 1 each)
- (a) = right angle
- (b) = reflex angle (between and )
- (c) = acute angle (less than )
- (d) = straight angle
Q3. (4 marks) (a) Complement (2) (b) Supplement (2) Complementary angles sum to ; supplementary to .
Q4. (4 marks) (a) Co-interior angles are supplementary: (2) (b) Alternate angles are equal: (2)
Q5. (4 marks) (a) Angle sum , so third (2) (b) All angles () are less than → acute triangle (2)
Q6. (4 marks) Exterior angle = sum of the two interior opposite angles. (2) (2)
