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) 9090^\circ = right angle
  • (b) 215215^\circ = reflex angle (between 180180^\circ and 360360^\circ)
  • (c) 4747^\circ = acute angle (less than 9090^\circ)
  • (d) 180180^\circ = straight angle

Q3. (4 marks) (a) Complement =9032=58= 90^\circ - 32^\circ = 58^\circ (2) (b) Supplement =180118=62= 180^\circ - 118^\circ = 62^\circ (2) Complementary angles sum to 9090^\circ; supplementary to 180180^\circ.

Q4. (4 marks) (a) Co-interior angles are supplementary: 18070=110180^\circ - 70^\circ = 110^\circ (2) (b) Alternate angles are equal: 7070^\circ (2)

Q5. (4 marks) (a) Angle sum =180=180^\circ, so third =1805565=60=180^\circ-55^\circ-65^\circ=60^\circ (2) (b) All angles (55,65,6055^\circ, 65^\circ, 60^\circ) are less than 9090^\circacute triangle (2)

Q6. (4 marks) Exterior angle = sum of the two interior opposite angles. 110=48+x110^\circ = 48^\circ + x (2) x=11048=62x = 110^\circ - 48^\circ = 62^\circ (2)

Q7. (4 marks — 1 each)

  • (a) True (square = rectangle with equal sides)
  • (b) True
  • (c) False (trapezium has exactly one pair of parallel sides)
  • (d) True

Q8. (4 marks) (a) C=2πr=2×227×7=44C = 2\pi r = 2 \times \dfrac{22}{7} \times 7 = 44 cm (2) (b) A=πr2=227×72=227×49=154A = \pi r^2 = \dfrac{22}{7} \times 7^2 = \dfrac{22}{7}\times 49 = 154 cm² (2)

Q9. (4 marks) (a) A=12×12×9=54A = \dfrac12 \times 12 \times 9 = 54 cm² (2) (b) A=12(8+14)×6=12×22×6=66A = \dfrac12 (8+14)\times 6 = \dfrac12 \times 22 \times 6 = 66 cm² (2)
