Q6 of 29 Page 5

Sketch proper figure and write the answers of the following questions.

i. If A - B - C and /(AC) = 11, /(BC) = 6.5, then /(AB) =?


ii. If R - S - T and /(ST) = 3.7, /(RS) = 2.5, then /(RT) =?


iii. If X - Y - Z and /(XZ) = 3√7, /(XY) =√7, then /(YZ) =?

i. l (AC) = 11, l (BC) = 6.5We know that


For any three-distinct collinear points P, Q and R, the point Q is said to be in between P and R if


d (P, Q) + d (Q, R) = d (P, R), or


l (PQ) + l (QR) = l (PR)


So, we have l (AB) = l (AC) – l (BC) = 11 – 6.5 = 4.5


l (AB) = 4.5



ii. l (ST) = 3.7, l (RS) = 2.5


We know that


For any three-distinct collinear points P, Q and R, the point Q is said to be in between P and R if


d (P, Q) + d (Q, R) = d (P, R), or


l (PQ) + l (QR) = l (PR)


So, l (RT) = l (ST) + l (RS) = 3.7 + 2.5 = 6.2


l (RT) = 6.2



iii.


We know that


For any three-distinct collinear points P, Q and R, the point Q is said to be in between P and R if


d (P, Q) + d (Q, R) = d (P, R), or


l (PQ) + l (QR) = l (PR)


So,
