5.1 exercise ans

1. What is the disadvantage in comparing line segments by mere observation?

Solutions:

By mere observation we can’t compare the line segments with slight difference in their length. We can’t say which line segment is of greater length. Hence, the chances of errors due to improper viewing are more.

2. Why is it better to use a divider than a ruler, while measuring the length of a line segment?

Solutions:

While using a ruler, chances of error occur due to thickness of the ruler and angular viewing. Hence, using divider accurate measurement is possible.
