Solution:
MP Board Class 6th Maths Solutions Chapter 5 Understanding Elementary Shapes Ex 5.4 1

Question 2.
Say True or False:
(a) The measure of an acute angle < 90°.
(b) The measure of an obtuse angle < 90°.
(c) The measure of a reflex angle > 180°.
(d) The measure of one complete revolution = 360°.
(e) If m∠A = 53° and m∠B = 35°, then m∠A > m∠B.
Solution:
(a) True
(b) False
Since, measure of an obtuse angle is greater than 90° and less than 180°.
(c) True
(d) True
(e) True

Measure of Angle A =
Measure of Angle B =
MP Board Class 6th Maths Solutions Chapter 5 Understanding Elementary Shapes Ex 5.4 3
Solution:
By estimating, we observe that ∠B has a large measure.
∠A = near about 40° and ∠B = near about
65°.
Note: Students can measure the angles exactly with the help of protractor.

Question 6.
From these two angles which has larger measure? Estimate and then confirm by measuring them.

Solution:
Second angle has larger measure.
First angle is near about 30° and second angle is near about 70°.
Note: Students can measure the angles exactly with the help of protractor.

(a) An angle whose measure is less than that of a right angle is ___.
(b) An angle whose measure is greater than that of a right angle is ___.
(c) An angle whose measure is the sum of the measures of two right angles is ___.
(d) When the sum of the measures of two angles is that of a right angle, then each one of them is ___.
(e) When the sum of the measures of two angles is that of a straight angle and if one of them is acute then the other should be ___.
Solution:
(a) Acute

Solution:
(i) 90° (Right angle)
(ii) 30° (Acute angle)
(iii) 180° (Straight angle)

Question 10.
Investigate
In the given figure, the angle measures 30°. Look at the same figure through a magnifying glass. Does the angle becomes larger? Does the size of the angle change?
