Is CE=EG?

EASY

Measure the sides of the adjacent triangle and verify:

Question Image 

CA+AB>BC

MEDIUM
Draw any line segment, say AB¯. Take any point C lying in between A and B. Measure the lengths of AB,BC and AC. Is AB=AC+CB?
[Note: If A,B,C are any three points on a line such that AC+CB=AB, then we can be sure that C lies between A and B.]
EASY

Identify and name the line segments and rays in the following figure.

Question Image

HARD
Draw five triangles and measure their sides. Check in each case, if the sum of the lengths of any two sides is always greater than the third side.
EASY

What is the disadvantage in comparing line segments by mere observation?
MEDIUM
If A, B and C are three points on a line such that AC =8 cm, CB =4 cm and AB = 12 cm, which point A, B or C lies between the other points ?
MEDIUM

Verify, whether D is the mid-point of AG¯.

Question Image

HARD
 Given AB- of length 3.9cm, construct PQ- such that the length of PQ- is twice that of AB-. Verify by measurement.
Question Image
Hint:
Construct PX- such that length of PX-= length of AB-; then cut off XQ- such that XQ- also has the length of AB-.

Why is it better to use a divider than a ruler, while measuring the length of a line segment?
MEDIUM
If B is the mid-point of AC¯ and C is the midpoint of BD¯, where A,B,C,D lie on a straight line, say why AB=CD?
