All questions of Understanding Elementary Shapes for Class 6 Exam

In ∠PRQ, which of the following are the two arms?
  • a)
     
  • b)
  • c)
  • d)
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Lavanya Menon answered
⇒ In ∠PRQ, Q is a vertex of an angle.
⇒ RP and RQ are two rays of an angle.
⇒ So, RP and RQ​ are two arms of ∠PRQ.

How many metres is 805 cm?
  • a)
    80.5 m
  • b)
    8.5 m
  • c)
    8.50 m
  • d)
    8.05 m
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Anjali Yadav answered
100cm = 1m
1cm = (1/100)m
805cm in m = (805/100)m
Formula used: Divide the length value by 100
Correct option is D. 8.05 m

By what measure is the line m longer than the line n? 
  • a)
    1 cm
  • b)
    2 cm
  • c)
    3 cm
  • d)
    4 cm
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Ashwani Mishra answered
Length of line A = 9 cm
Length of line B = 7−2 = 5 cm
Length of line A − length of line B = 9 − 5 = 4 cm
Hence, line A is 4 cm longer than line B.

An angle which measures 0 is called a/an ___ angle.
  • a)
    zero
  • b)
    straight
  • c)
    obtuse
  • d)
    right
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Angle Measurement

An angle is formed when two lines or line segments meet at a common point. The measurement of an angle is based on the amount of rotation between the two lines, which is usually expressed in degrees.

Types of Angles

There are several types of angles based on their measurements. Let's briefly discuss them before addressing the specific question.

1. Zero Angle: An angle that measures 0 degrees is called a zero angle.
2. Acute Angle: An angle that measures less than 90 degrees is called an acute angle.
3. Right Angle: An angle that measures exactly 90 degrees is called a right angle.
4. Obtuse Angle: An angle that measures more than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees is called an obtuse angle.
5. Straight Angle: An angle that measures exactly 180 degrees is called a straight angle.
6. Reflex Angle: An angle that measures more than 180 degrees but less than 360 degrees is called a reflex angle.

The Zero Angle

A zero angle is a unique type of angle that measures 0 degrees. It can be visualized as two lines or line segments overlapping each other. Since there is no rotation or inclination between the lines, the angle formed is considered to be zero.

Why is the Answer 'A' - Zero Angle?

In the given question, it is stated that an angle measures 0. Based on the types of angles mentioned above, we can conclude that an angle measuring zero degrees is referred to as a zero angle. This means that the correct answer to the question is option 'A'.

It is crucial for students to understand the different types of angles and their measurements to solve geometry problems accurately. The concept of angles is extensively used in various mathematical and real-world applications, such as measuring distances, calculating areas, and determining shapes.

How is the measure of an angle expressed?
  • a)
    Compasses
  • b)
    Protractor
  • c)
    Degrees
  • d)
    Centimetres
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

The measure of an angle is expressed in degrees. A protractor is used to measure the angle, and the unit for measuring angles is degrees (°).

What type of an angle is ∠AOB? 
  • a)
    An obtuse angle
  • b)
    A right angle
  • c)
    An acute tangle
  • d)
    A straight angle
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Shyla Jose answered
An angle is a shape formed when two rays meet at a single point. Angles are measured in degrees (°), or radians, and are represented by the symbol "∠". Here are some types of angles: Acute angle An angle that measures less than 90°. For example, a 30° or 65° angle is acute. Right angle An angle that measures exactly 90°. It's formed when two lines or rays intersect perpendicularly. A square has four right angles. Straight angleAn angle that measures 180° is called straight angle. So, the angle AOB is greater than 90°and less than 180° it's called obtuse angle

Which is the longest rectangle ?
  • a)
  • b)
  • c)
  • d)
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Devika Nair answered
By observing & comparing the given figures, rectangle B is the longest rectangle.
