In each case, determine which angle is greater and why. Which angle is greater? Class 6

Question 1.

In each case, determine which angle is greater and why. Class 6

Solution:

1. ∠AOB or ∠XOY
2. ∠AOB or ∠XOB
3. ∠XOB or ∠XOC

Discuss with your friends how you decided which one is greater.

1. ∠AOB is greater.
2. ∠AOB is greater.
3. ∠XOB and ∠XOC are equal.

Do as directed. It is just by observation.

Question 2.

Which angle is greater: ∠XOY or ∠AOB? Give reasons. Class 6

Solution:

∠XOY is greater. It is because in both these angles, ∠AOY is common, and ∠XOA (part of ∠XOY) > ∠YOB (part of ∠AOB).
