Question 1.
Form as many shapes as you can by combining two or more set squares. Draw them on squared paper and note their lines of symmetry?
Answer:
(i) By combining two identical 30° – 60° – 90° set squares, we get the following symmetric figures :
(a) l2 and l2 are the lines of symmetry.
(b) Here, there is only line of symmetry which is shown by ‘m’.
(c) Here, the dotted line ‘p’ is the only line of symmetry.
(d) Here, the dotted line ‘q’ is the only line of symmetry.
(ii) By combining two identical 45° – 45° – 90° set squares, we get the following
symmetric figures.
(a) Here l1, l2, l3, l4, are lines of symmetry.
(b) In the figure formed, there is only one line of symmetry which is shown by ‘r’.
(iii) By combining three 45° – 45° – 90° identical set-squares, we can have an isosceles trapezium as shown here:
Here, the line of symmetry is shown by the dotted line ‘q’.

Question 1.
If you are 100 cm in front of a mirror, where does your image appear to be? If you move towards the mirror, how does your image move?
Answer:
If we are 100 cm in front of a plane mirror our image will be 200 cm away from it (100 cm behind the mirror +100 cm is the position of the object). If we move towards the mirror our image will also move towards as but no change in the size.
