Question:
1. What is the measure of (i) a right angle? (ii) a straight angle?
Solution: (i) The measure of a right angle is 900.
(ii) The measure of a straight angle is 1800.
2. Say True or False :
(a) The measure of an acute angle < 90°.
(b) The measure of an obtuse angle < 90°.
(c) The measure of a reflex angle > 180°.
(d) The measure of one complete revolution = 360°.
(e) If m A∠ = 53° and m B∠ = 35°, then m ∠A > m ∠B.
Solution: (a) True.
(b) False.
(c) True.
(d) True.
(e) True.
3. Write down the measures of
(a) some acute angles. (b) some obtuse angles.
(give at least two examples of each).
Solution: (a) The measure of an acute angle is less than 90°, for example: 30°, 45°.
(d) The measure of an obtuse angle is greater than 90°, for example: 140°, 105°.
4. Measure the angles given below using the Protractor and write down the measure.
Solution: (a) The measure of an angle is 450.
(b) The measure of an angle is 1200.
(c) The measure of an angle is 900.
(d) The measure of an angle is 600, 1300 and 900.
5. Which angle has a large measure? First estimate and then measure.
Measure of Angle A = Measure of Angle B =
Solution: Measure of A = 450
Measure of B = 650
B has a large measure than
A.
6. From these two angles which has larger measure? Estimate and then confirm by measuring them.
Solution: By estimation the measure of second angle is larger.
Measure of angles are 450 and 550.
7. Fill in the blanks with acute, obtuse, right or straight :
(a) An angle whose measure is less than that of a right angle is______.
(b) An angle whose measure is greater than that of a right angle is ______.
(c) An angle whose measure is the sum of the measures of two right angles is _____.
(d) When the sum of the measures of two angles is that of a right angle, then each one of them is ______.
(e) When the sum of the measures of two angles is that of a straight angle and if one of them is acute then the other should be _______.
Solution:
(a) An angle whose measure is less than that of a right angle is acute angle.
(b) An angle whose measure is greater than that of a right angle is obtuse angle.
(c) An angle whose measure is the sum of the measures of two right angles is straight angle.
(d) When the sum of the measures of two angles is that of a right angle, then each one of them is acute angle.
(e) When the sum of the measures of two angles is that of a straight angle and if one of them is acute then the other should be obtuse angle.
8. Find the measure of the angle shown in each figure. (First estimate with your eyes and then find the actual measure with a protractor).
Solution: The measure of the angle shown in the figure are 400,1300,650 and 1350 respectively.
9. Find the angle measure between the hands of the clock in each figure :
Solution: The angle measure in the given clock are 900, 300 and 1800 respectively.
10. Investigate
In the given figure, the angle measures 30°. Look at the same figure through a magnifying glass. Does the angle becomes larger? Does the size of the angle change?
Solution: No, the measure of angle remains the same through a magnifying glass.
11. Measure and classify each angle :

What our students and parents say about us!
Saiyam is using EduSaksham online courses from past one year. He is able to complete his tutorials, worksheets, and assignments on his own. Once he is done with worksheets, he can check his answers and if he has done any mistakes, then he can check the correct answers and explanations. They have been given so well that he is able to understand them himself and rarely he asks us for any clarification. He enjoys using the platform and has learned and improved a lot in Mathematics. I would recommend EduSaksham to all parents who want their kids to learn in a structured way and also enjoy the learning process.

Neeraj (Saiyam's Father)
I would like to thank Edusaksham on behalf of my son Aditya who attended " Math Olympiad crash course for 5 weeks". As per Aditya, this course helped him to understand new topics like Roman numerals and decimal places which were not taught in his school till date and had a better understanding of other topics. I personally thank EduSaksham for all the help and support.

Geeta Bansal (Aditya's Mother)
We had a good experience with EduSaksham. Because sheets are available online, Vedant enjoyed doing more and more sheets without any reminders. I could leave him on his own as he was very much motivated to cover the topics. Practice is very important in maths but it becomes difficult for us to prepare sheets, I am glad we found EduSaksham where in a lot of in a lot of sheets are available for practice and the quality of questions are also good. As it's a venture from IITians we could think of giving it a try and I am glad we tried

Shikha Chowdhary (Vedant's Mother)
I have grown up in a family where my father used to give me practice maths paper every day which I need to finish before I go to play. I think that strong foundation of solving new questions every day helped me to clear my IITJEE exam. But as working women, I always had time challenge to create practice Math papers for my daughter. Thanks to EduSaksham, their questions are so logical and conceptual that I don't feel the guilt of not creating practice questions by myself :). There are plenty of worksheet along with the tutorials for each chapter. It has made parents life easier :) And the best part is my daughter loves doing it. Thank you EduSaksham.
