9. Read the following text carefully and answer the questions that follow:
A door in Riya's house can swing open to form different angles. Riya notices that the door can form acute, obtuse, and
right angles depending on how far it is opened. She wants to measure these angles using a protractor. For example, a
slightly open door forms an acute angle, a halfway open door forms a right angle (90 degrees), and a widely open door
forms an obtuse angle. Riya uses her protractor to measure and understand these angles better.
a. What is the vertex of the angle formed by the door and the door frame? (1)
b. If the door is opened to form a right angle, what is the measure of this angle? (1)
c. If the door is opened to form an angle of 120°, what type of angle is this? Justify your answer. (2)
OR
Explain how you would use a protractor to measure the angle formed by the door. (2)

6. Answer the following questions: (2 marks each)
1. The vertex of an angle is the common point at which the two arms or rays of the angle meet. It is the corner point
from where the angle opens. For example, if angle ABC is formed by rays BA and BC, point B is the vertex. The
vertex plays a key role in naming and identifying the angle.
2. There are more than one angle at P , that is, ∠AP B, ∠AP C and ∠BP C . That is why it can we can't say ∠AP C as
∠P .
7. Answer the following questions: (3 marks each)
1. Parallel lines never meet and remain the same distance apart (e.g., railway tracks, notebook lines).
Perpendicular lines meet at a 90 angle (e.g., walls meeting the floor, the edges of a book). Both types of lines

are essential in geometry, construction, and design.
2. A protractor is a tool used to measure and draw angles accurately. It has markings from 0 to 180 , helping to
∘ ∘
classify angles as acute (< 90 ), right (90 ), obtuse (> 90 ), straight (180 ) , or reflex ( > 180 ). Without a
∘ ∘ ∘ ∘ ∘
protractor, measuring angles precisely would be difficult, leading to errors in construction and design.

Point: A location with no size. Example: The tip of a pencil.
Line: A straight path that extends infinitely in both directions. Example: The horizon.
Line Segment: A part of a line with two endpoints. Example: The edge of a book.
Ray: A line that starts at a point and extends infinitely in one direction. Example: Sunlight rays.
Angle: Formed when two rays meet at a common point. Example: The hands of a clock at 3 o’clock.
These elements help in understanding shapes and their properties.

e. 12 to 6
9. a. The vertex of the angle is the hinge of the door.
b. The measure of a right angle is 90°.
c. An angle of 120° is an obtuse angle because it is greater than 90° but less than 180°.
OR
To measure the angle formed by the door, place the protractor's center at the hinge, align one arm of the angle with
the 0° mark, and read the measure where the other arm crosses the protractor.
