Question 1.

Can you help Rihan and Sheetal find their answers? Class 6

Solution:

Rihan: Infinitely many lines as shown below.

Sheetal: Only one, as shown below.

Question 2.

Name the line segments in the figure. Which of the five marked points are on exactly one of the line segments? Which are on two of the line segments? Class 6

Solution:

Line segments are [latex]\overline{\mathrm{LM}}, \overline{\mathrm{MP}}, \overline{\mathrm{PQ}}[/latex] and [latex]\overline{\mathrm{QR}}[/latex].

Points exactly on one of the line segments are L and R.

Points on two line segments are M (on [latex]\overline{\mathrm{LM}}[/latex] and [latex]\overline{\mathrm{MP}}[/latex]); P (on [latex]\overline{\mathrm{MP}}[/latex] and [latex]\overline{\mathrm{PQ}}[/latex]) and Q (on [latex]\overline{\mathrm{PQ}}[/latex] and [latex]\overline{\mathrm{QR}}[/latex]).
