Step-by-step solution for: Basic concept in Geometry worksheet
Let’s solve each question step by step.
---
Q.1: Match the real-life things to geometric terms
We are given these options:
- A point
- A ray
- A line segment
- A plane
- Parallel lines
- Intersecting lines
Now let’s match:
(a) Edge of a ruler → This is straight and has two ends → A line segment
(b) Corner of a book → It’s like a dot, no length or width → A point
(c) Light coming out of torch → Starts at one point and goes on forever in one direction → A ray
(d) Flat surface of a table → Extends in all directions (in theory), flat → A plane
(e) Opposite edges of a ruler → They never meet, same distance apart → Parallel lines
(f) Adjacent edges of a ruler → They meet at a corner → Intersecting lines
✔ All matched correctly.

Q.2: Look at the figure with lines m, n, l and points X, P, R, Y
Note: Line ‘n’ has points X, P, R, Y marked on it.
(a) 6 line segments
Line segments have two endpoints. On line ‘n’, we can pick any two points:
XP, XR, XY, PR, PY, RY → That’s 6!
Also, if you consider other lines, but since only line ‘n’ has named points, we stick to those.
→ So: XP, XR, XY, PR, PY, RY
(b) 6 rays
Rays start at a point and go infinitely in one direction.
On line ‘n’:
From X: left ray, right ray (through P,R,Y)
From P: left ray (through X), right ray (through R,Y)
From R: left ray (through P,X), right ray (through Y)
From Y: left ray (through R,P,X), right ray
But we need only 6. Let’s list unique ones using the points:
Ray starting at X going right → XP...
Ray starting at P going right → PR...
Ray starting at R going right → RY...
Ray starting at Y going right → (no name beyond, but still exists)
Similarly leftward:
Ray from Y going left → YR...
Ray from R going left → RP...
Actually, better to list as:
Ray XP (starting at X through P), Ray PX (starting at P through X), Ray PR, Ray RP, Ray RY, Ray YR — that’s 6.
Wait — actually, for simplicity, since line ‘n’ has 4 points, number of rays = 4 points × 2 directions = 8, but we only need 6.
So pick any 6: e.g.,
Ray starting at X toward P,
Ray starting at P toward X,
Ray starting at P toward R,
Ray starting at R toward P,
Ray starting at R toward Y,
Ray starting at Y toward R.
That works.
But perhaps easier: Since the question says “write the names”, and figure shows arrows on lines m, n, l — maybe they mean rays along those lines? But only line ‘n’ has labeled points.
Actually, looking again — line ‘m’ and ‘l’ also have arrows, so they are lines, not rays. Rays must start at a point.
Best answer: Use points on line ‘n’. Each point can be start of two rays. We’ll list 6:
→ Ray XP (from X through P)
→ Ray PX (from P through X)
→ Ray PR (from P through R)
→ Ray RP (from R through P)
→ Ray RY (from R through Y)
→ Ray YR (from Y through R)
Yes.
(c) Two intersecting lines
Lines that cross each other. In the figure, line ‘l’ crosses line ‘n’ → so lines ‘l’ and ‘n’ are intersecting.
(d) Two parallel lines
Lines that never meet. Line ‘m’ and line ‘n’ look parallel (both horizontal, same direction). Also, line ‘m’ and ‘l’ are not parallel. So → lines ‘m’ and ‘n’
(e) How many points have been marked and named on line 'n'?
Points: X, P, R, Y → 4 points
(f) How many points does a line have?
In geometry, a line has infinite points — because it goes on forever and you can always find more points between any two.

Q.3: Circle with center O, points P, Q, R, L
Shaded region is the small part at bottom — between chord PQ and arc PQ → that’s a segment
(a) Shaded region is representing → Segment
(b) Diameter is a line passing through center, touching two points on circle → PR passes through O → so PR
(c) Chord is any line connecting two points on circle → PQ is a chord (not through center), also PR is a chord (but it’s diameter too). Usually, we say non-diameter chords separately, but technically diameter is a chord. But here, since PR is already called diameter, likely they want PQ as chord. → PQ
(d) Radius is from center to circle → PO, RO, QO? Wait, Q is on circle, but O to Q isn’t drawn. PO is drawn → PO (or OR, but PO is shown)
(e) Line segment PO = line segment ___ (in length)
Since O is center, and P and R are on circle, PO and RO are both radii → so equal → RO
(f) PR divides circle into two equal halves → each half is called a semicircle

Q.2: Look at the figure with lines m, n, l and points X, P, R, Y
Note: Line ‘n’ has points X, P, R, Y marked on it.
(a) 6 line segments
Line segments have two endpoints. On line ‘n’, we can pick any two points:
XP, XR, XY, PR, PY, RY → That’s 6!
Also, if you consider other lines, but since only line ‘n’ has named points, we stick to those.
→ So: XP, XR, XY, PR, PY, RY
(b) 6 rays
Rays start at a point and go infinitely in one direction.
On line ‘n’:
From X: left ray, right ray (through P,R,Y)
From P: left ray (through X), right ray (through R,Y)
From R: left ray (through P,X), right ray (through Y)
From Y: left ray (through R,P,X), right ray
But we need only 6. Let’s list unique ones using the points:
Ray starting at X going right → XP...
Ray starting at P going right → PR...
Ray starting at R going right → RY...
Ray starting at Y going right → (no name beyond, but still exists)
Similarly leftward:
Ray from Y going left → YR...
Ray from R going left → RP...
Actually, better to list as:
Ray XP (starting at X through P), Ray PX (starting at P through X), Ray PR, Ray RP, Ray RY, Ray YR — that’s 6.
Wait — actually, for simplicity, since line ‘n’ has 4 points, number of rays = 4 points × 2 directions = 8, but we only need 6.
So pick any 6: e.g.,
Ray starting at X toward P,
Ray starting at P toward X,
Ray starting at P toward R,
Ray starting at R toward P,
Ray starting at R toward Y,
Ray starting at Y toward R.
That works.
But perhaps easier: Since the question says “write the names”, and figure shows arrows on lines m, n, l — maybe they mean rays along those lines? But only line ‘n’ has labeled points.
Actually, looking again — line ‘m’ and ‘l’ also have arrows, so they are lines, not rays. Rays must start at a point.
Best answer: Use points on line ‘n’. Each point can be start of two rays. We’ll list 6:
→ Ray XP (from X through P)
→ Ray PX (from P through X)
→ Ray PR (from P through R)
→ Ray RP (from R through P)
→ Ray RY (from R through Y)
→ Ray YR (from Y through R)
Yes.
(c) Two intersecting lines
Lines that cross each other. In the figure, line ‘l’ crosses line ‘n’ → so lines ‘l’ and ‘n’ are intersecting.
(d) Two parallel lines
Lines that never meet. Line ‘m’ and line ‘n’ look parallel (both horizontal, same direction). Also, line ‘m’ and ‘l’ are not parallel. So → lines ‘m’ and ‘n’
(e) How many points have been marked and named on line 'n'?
Points: X, P, R, Y → 4 points
(f) How many points does a line have?
In geometry, a line has infinite points — because it goes on forever and you can always find more points between any two.

Q.3: Circle with center O, points P, Q, R, L
Shaded region is the small part at bottom — between chord PQ and arc PQ → that’s a segment
(a) Shaded region is representing → Segment
(b) Diameter is a line passing through center, touching two points on circle → PR passes through O → so PR
(c) Chord is any line connecting two points on circle → PQ is a chord (not through center), also PR is a chord (but it’s diameter too). Usually, we say non-diameter chords separately, but technically diameter is a chord. But here, since PR is already called diameter, likely they want PQ as chord. → PQ
(d) Radius is from center to circle → PO, RO, QO? Wait, Q is on circle, but O to Q isn’t drawn. PO is drawn → PO (or OR, but PO is shown)
(e) Line segment PO = line segment ___ (in length)
Since O is center, and P and R are on circle, PO and RO are both radii → so equal → RO
(f) PR divides circle into two equal halves → each half is called a semicircle
