Measuring Line Segments

How do you find the midpoint of a line segment?

Why is it better to use a divider than ruler, while measuring the length of a line segment?

The thickness of a ruler can cause an error in calculation.

What is the disadvantage of comparison of line segments by tracing method?

Take any two lines. Use the comparison by trace technique to compare the lengths.

Which type of line segments cannot be accurately compared by observation?

What is disadvantage in comparing line segments by observation?

What are the elementary geometrical shapes?

The midpoint divides the line segments into:

If the length of the one part of the line segment after the midpoint is $5 \mathrm{cm}$, then find the total length of the line segment.

Identify the line segment with the longest length.

Identify the line segment with the shortest length.

Which has greater length among the below lines?

Which line segment is greater among the below line segments.

By comparing the lines below we can say that

The distance of the mid-point of the line segment joining the points (6,8) and (2,4) from the point (1,2) is

There is a line on which the points G, H and I lie such that H is in between G and I.

 If $GH$ = 31 and $HI$ = 11, then find $GI$.
