Chapter 7 - Introduction To Euclid's Geometry

This document defines key geometric terms like line segment, collinear points, parallel lines, intersecting lines, concurrent lines, ray, and half-line. It provides examples of these terms and asks students to identify them in diagrams. It also asks students to determine the number of lines that can pass through a point, the number of points two lines can intersect, and to identify true/false statements about geometric concepts.

Class IX Chapter 7 – Introduction to Euclid's Geometry Maths

______________________________________________________________________________

Exercise – 7.1

1. Define the following terms:


(i) Line segment (v) Concurrent lines
(ii) Collinear points (vi) Ray
(iii) Parallel lines (vii) Half-line
(iv) Intersecting lines
Sol:
(i) Line-segment- Give two points A and B on a line l, the connected part (segment) of
the line with end points at A and B is called the line segment AB.

(ii) Collinear points – Three or more points are said to be collinear if there is a line
which contains all of them.
(iii) Parallel lines – Two lines l and m in a plane are said to be parallel lines if they do
not intersect each other.

(iv) Intersecting lines – Two lines are intersecting if they have a common point. The
common point is called point of intersection.

(v) Concurrent lines – Three or more lines are said to be concurrent if there is a point
which lies on all of them.

(vi) Ray – A line in which one end point is fixed and the other part can be extended
endlessly.

(vii) Half-line – If A, B, C be the points on a line l, such that A lies between B and C,
and we delete the point A from line l, the two parts of l that remain are each called
half-line.

Sol:
(i) Infinitely many
(ii) one

3. (i) Given two points P and Q, find how many line segments do they deter-mine.
(ii) Name the line segments determined by the three collinear points P, Q and R.
Sol:
(i) One
(ii) PQ, QR, PR

4. Write the truth value (T/F) of each of the following statements:


(i) Two lines intersect in a point.
(ii) Two lines may intersect in two points.
(iii) A segment has no length.

(v) Every ray has a finite length.
(vi) A ray has one end-point only.
(vii) A segment has one end-point only.
(viii) The ray AB is same as ray BA.
(ix) Only a single line may pass through a given point.
(x) Two lines are coincident if they have only one point in common.
Sol:
(i) False
(ii) False
(iii) False
(iv) True
(v) False
(vi) True
(vii) False
