Solution:

(a) True
(b) False
(c) True
(d) True
(e) True

Ex 5.4 Class 6 Maths Question 3.
Write down the measures of

(a) some acute angles

(b) some obtuse angles

Solution:

(a) 25°, 63° and 72° are acute angles.
(b) 105°, 120° and 135° are obtuse angles.

Ex 5.4 Class 6 Maths Question 4.
Measure the angles given below using the protractor and write down the measure.

Solution:

(a) 45°
(b) 125°
(c) 90°
(d) ∠1 = 60°, ∠2 = 90°, ∠3 = 125°

Ex 5.4 Class 6 Maths Question 5.
Which angle has a large measure? First estimate and then measure.
Measure of Angle A =
Measure of Angle B =

Solution:

Measure of Angle A = 40°
Measure of Angle B = 60°.

Ex 5.4 Class 6 Maths Question 6.
From these two angles which has large measure? Estimate and then confirm by measuring them.

Solution:

The opening of angle (b) is more than angle (a).

∴ Measure of angle (a) = 45°
and the measure of angle (b) = 60°

Ex 5.4 Class 6 Maths Question 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) acute
(b) obtuse
(c) straight
(d) acute
(e) obtuse

Ex 5.4 Class 6 Maths Question 8.
Find the measure of the angle shown in each figure. (First estimate with your eyes and than find the actual measure with a protractor).

Solution:

(a) Measure of the angle = 40°
(b) Measure of the angle = 130°
(c) Measure of the angle = 65°
(d) Measure of the angle = 135°.

Ex 5.4 Class 6 Maths Question 9.
Find the angle measure between the hands of the clock in each figure:

Solution:

(i) The angle between hour hand and minute hand of a clock at 9.00 a.m = 90°
(ii) The angle between the hour hand and minute hand of a clock at 1.00 p.m = 30°
(iii) The angle between the hour hand and minute hand of a clock at 6.00 p.m = 180°.

Ex 5.4 Class 6 Maths Question 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:

It is an activity. So try it yourself.

Ex 5.4 Class 6 Maths Question 11.
Measure and classify each angle:

Solution:
