Very Short Answer Questions (1 Mark Each)

(1) Define collinear points with an example. Points that lie on the same straight linecurve

Example: Points A, B, and C lying on line PQPoints forming a trianglePoints at equal distancesPoints with the same coordinates

Perfect! Collinear points share the same line, like beads on a string.

(2) How many lines can pass through a single point? InfiniteInfinitely many

Correct! Through any single point, infinite lines can be drawn in all directions.

(3) What is a reflex angle? An angle that measures between 180° and 360°between 270° and 360°

Excellent! Reflex angles are greater than straight angles but less than complete angles.

(4) What is the measure of a complete angle? °

Perfect! A complete angle makes a full rotation or circle.

(5) Write any two undefined terms in geometry. Point, LineAngle, TriangleRay, SegmentCircle, Square

Great! Point, line, and plane are the three fundamental undefined terms in geometry.

Short Answer Questions (2 Marks Each)

Answer each question in 2-3 sentences

(1) Draw a figure showing three lines intersecting at a single point. Label it clearly.

(2) State any two Euclid's axioms.

First axiom: Things which are equal to the same thing are equal to one anotherThe whole is greater than the partA straight line can be drawn between any two pointsAll right angles are equal

Second axiom: If equals are added to equals, the wholes are equalThings which are equal to the same thing are equal to one anotherA circle can be drawn with any center and radiusTwo parallel lines never meet

Perfect! These axioms form the logical foundation of geometry.

(3) If two angles are supplementary and one is 70°, find the other angle. °

Correct! Supplementary angles always add up to 180°.

(4) Differentiate between postulates and theorems.

Postulates: Basic assumptions accepted without proofStatements that need proof

Theorems: Statements that can be proved using postulates and previously proven theoremsBasic assumptions

Excellent understanding! Postulates are foundations, theorems are proven results.

(5) If point A lies between points B and C on a line segment, express the relationship. AB + AC = BCAB + BC = ACBA + CB = BC

Correct! Since A lies between B and C, the total length is: AB + AC = BC

Long Answer Questions (4 Marks Each)

(1) Explain the five postulates of Euclid with examples or diagrams.

Postulate 1: A straight can be drawn from point to any other point.

Postulate 2: A finite straight line can be extended continuouslyterminated in a straight line.

Postulate 3: A can be drawn with any center and any .

Postulate 4: All right angles are to one another.

Postulate 5: If a straight line falling on two straight lines makes angles on same side less than right angles, the lines will meetdiverge on that side.

Excellent! These five postulates form the foundation of Euclidean geometry.

(2) Prove: "Only one line can be drawn through two distinct points." Use a diagram and geometrical reasoning.

(3) Use a diagram to explain how a line can be drawn through a point not on a given line, and prove that only one such line can exist.

This seems to be asking about: Parallel lines through an external pointPerpendicular linesAny line

This relates to the parallel postulate - through an external point, exactly one line parallel to a given line can be drawn.

(4) If two lines intersect, prove that the vertically opposite angles are equal. Draw and label the diagram properly.

Part B: Objective Questions (1 Mark Each)

Choose the correct answer and write the option (a/b/c/d)

(1) Which of the following is an undefined term in geometry?

(a) Point (b) Angle (c) Line Segment (d) Triangle

Correct! Point, line, and plane are the three undefined terms in geometry.

(2) Euclid's first postulate is:

(a) A line can be drawn from any point to any other point (b) All right angles are equal (c) The whole is greater than the part (d) A circle can be drawn with any center and radius

Correct! This is Euclid's first postulate about drawing straight lines.

(3) Two rays with a common endpoint form:

(a) A triangle (b) A line segment (c) An angle (d) A plane

Correct! An angle is formed by two rays meeting at a common endpoint (vertex).

(4) Which of the following angles is obtuse?

(a) 30° (b) 60° (c) 90° (d) 120°

Correct! Obtuse angles measure between 90° and 180°.

(5) A flat surface that goes on forever is called a:

(a) Line (b) Ray (c) Plane (d) Angle

Correct! A plane is a flat surface extending infinitely in all directions.

(6) Which of the following represents a linear pair of angles?

(a) 45° and 45° (b) 120° and 60° (c) 110° and 70° (d) 30° and 60°

Correct! Linear pairs are adjacent angles that sum to 180°.

(7) The number of dimensions a point has is:

(a) 0 (b) 1 (c) 2 (d) 3

Correct! A point has no dimensions - it represents only position.

(8) A line contains:

(a) Only one point (b) Two points (c) Infinitely many points (d) No point

Correct! A line contains infinitely many points along its length.

(9) Which of the following is not true about parallel lines?

(a) They intersect at one point (b) They never meet (c) They are coplanar (d) They have the same slope

Correct! Parallel lines never intersect - they maintain constant distance.

(10) If ∠A and ∠B form a linear pair and ∠A = 65°, then ∠B =

(a) 25° (b) 65° (c) 115° (d) 75°

Correct! Linear pairs sum to 180°, so 180° - 65° = 115°.
