Hence, it is the required figure.


Question 3: Draw a circle and any two of its diameters. If you join the ends of these diameters, what is the figure obtained? What figure is obtained if the diameters are perpendicular to each other? How do you check your answer?
Answer 3:
(i) By joining the ends of two diameters, we get a rectangle. By measuring, we find AB = CD = 3 cm, BC = AD = 2 cm i.e., pairs of opposite sides are equal and also ∠A = ∠B = ∠C = ∠D = 90o  i.e., each angle is of 90o.
Hence, it is a rectangle.

(ii) If the diameters are perpendicular to each other, then by joining the ends of two diameters, we get a square. By measuring, we find that AB = BC = CD = DA = 2.5 cm, i.e., all four sides are equal. Also ∠A = ∠B = ∠C = ∠D = 90o, i.e., each angle is of 90o.
Hence, it is a square.

(a) A is on the circle.
(b) B is in the interior of the circle.
(c) C is in the exterior of the circle.
Answer 4:
(i) Mark a point ‘O’ with sharp pencil where we want centre of the circle.
(ii) Place the pointer of the compasses at ‘O’. Then move the compasses slowly to draw a circle.
(a) Point A is on the circle.
(b) Point B is in interior of the circle.
(c) Point C is in the exterior of the circle.
