Question 1.
A Game of Integers. (Textbook pg. no. 20)
The board for playing this game is given in the back cover of the textbook. Place your counters before the number 1. Throw the dice. Look at the number you get. It is a positive number. Count that many boxes and move your counter forward. If a problem is given in that box, solve it. If the answer is a positive number, move your counter that many boxes further. It it is negative, move back by that same number of boxes.

Suppose we have reached the 18th box. Then the answer to the problem in it is -4 + 2 = -2. Now move your counter back by 2 boxes to 16. The one who reaches 100 first, is the winner.

Question 3.
Use color, a thread and a folded paper to draw symmetrical shapes.
Solution:
Take any color, a thread and a folded square paper.
Step 1:
Take a folded square paper which is folded along one of its axis of symmetry.

Step 2:
Open the paper. Draw a square in one comer. Place the thread in the square drawn and apply colour on it as shown in the figure.

Step 3:
Remove the thread. You will see a white patch where the thread was.

Step 4:
Fold the paper and press it along the axis of symmetry. When you unfold the paper, you will see an imprint on the other side of the fold which is identical to the color patch you had made earlier.

Maharashtra Board Class 6 Maths Chapter 17 Geometrical Constructions Practice Set 40 Questions and Activities

Question 1.
In the above construction, why must the distance in the compass be kept constant? (Textbook pg. no. 90)
Solution:
The point N is at equal distance from points P and Q.
If we change the distance of the compass while drawing arcs from points P and Q, we will not get a point which is at equal distance from P and Q. Hence, the distance in the compass must be kept constant.

Question 2.
The Perpendicular Bisector. (Textbook pg. no. 90)

1. A wooden ‘yoke’ is used for pulling a bullock cart. How is the position of the yoke determined?
2. To do that, a rope is used to measure equal distances from the spine/midline of the bullock cart. Which geometrical property is used here?
3. Find out from the craftsmen or from other experienced persons, why this is done.

Solution:

1. For the bullock cart to be pulled in the correct direction by the yoke, its Centre O should be equidistant from the either sides of the cart.
2. The property of perpendicular bisector is used to make the point equidistant from both the ends
3. A rope is used just like a compass to get equal distances from the spine/midline of bullock cart.

Question 3.
Take a rectangular sheet of paper. Fold the paper so that the lower edge of the paper falls on its top edge, and fold it over again from right to left. Observe the two folds that have formed on the . paper. Verify that each fold is a perpendicular bisector of the other. Then measure the following distances. (Textbook pg. no. 91)
i. l(XP)
ii. l(XA)
iii. l(XB)
iv. l(YP)
v. l(YA)

You will observe that l(XP) = l(YP), l(XA) = l(YA) and l(XB) = l(YB)
Therefore we can conclude that all points on the vertical fold (perpendicular bisector) are equidistant from the endpoints of the horizontal fold.

Snehal has a red ribbon that is 80 cm long and a blue ribbon 2.20 m long. What is the ratio of the length of the red ribbon to that of the blue ribbon?
Solution:
1 metre =100 cm
Length of the red ribbon = 80 cm
Length of the blue ribbon = 2.20 m = 2.20 x 100 cm
\(=\frac{220}{100} \times \frac{100}{1}=\frac{220 \times 100}{100 \times 1}\)
= 220 cm
∴ Ratio of length of the red ribbon to that of the blue ribbon

∴ The ratio of the length of the red ribbon to that of the blue ribbon is \(\frac { 4 }{ 11 }\).

11 Ratio Question 6.
Shubham’s age today is 12 years and his father’s is 42 years. Shubham’s mother is younger than his father by 6 years. Find the following ratios.
i. Ratio of Shubham’s age today to his mother’s age today.
ii. Ratio of Shubham’s mother’s age today to his father’s age today.
iii. The ratio of Shubham’s age to his mother’s age when Shubham was 10 years old.
Solution:
Shubham’s age today = 12 years
Shubham’s father’s age = 42 years
Shubham’s mother age = Shubham’s father’s age – 6 years
= 42 years – 6 years = 36 years

i. Ratio of Shubham’s age today to his mother’s age today

∴ The ratio of Shubham’s age today to his mother’s age today is \(\frac { 1 }{ 3 }\).

ii. Ratio of Shubham’s mother age today to his father’s age today

∴ The ratio of Shubham’s mother’s age today to his father’s age today is \(\frac { 6 }{ 7 }\).

iii. Shubham’s age today is 12 years and his mothers age is 36 years.
Hence when Shubham’s age was 10 years, his mother’s age was 34 years (i.e. 36 – 2 years).
Ratio of Shubham’s age to his mother’s age when Shubham was 10 years old

∴ The ratio of Shubham’s age to his mother’s age when Shubham was 10 years old is \(\frac { 5 }{ 17 }\)

Question 1.
When constructing a building, what is the method used to make sure that a wall is exactly upright? What does the mason in the picture have in his hand? What do you think is his purpose for using it? (Textbook pg. no. 87)

Solution:
When constructing a building, a weight (usually with a pointed tip at the bottom) suspended from a string called as plummet or plump bob is aligned from the top of the wall to make sure that the wall is built exactly upright.
The mason in the picture is holding a plumb bob.
The string of the plumb bob is suspended from the top of the wall, such that plumb bob hangs freely. By observing whether the vertical wall is parallel to the string we can check if the constructed wall is vertical.

Question 2.
Have you looked at lamp posts on the roadside? How do they stand? (Textbook pg. no. 87)
Solution:
The lamp posts on the road side are standing erect or vertical.

Question 3.
For the above explained construction, why must we take a distance greater than half of the length of AB? What will happen if we take a smaller distance? (Textbook pg. no. 88)
Solution:
For the above construction, in step-3 we take distance greater than half of the length of AB, so that the arcs drawn by keeping the compass on points A and B intersect each other at point Q.
If the distance in compass is less than half of the length of AB, then the arcs drawn by keeping the compass at A and B will not intersect each other.
