Class 6 | Mathematics | Chapter 4| Basic Geometrical Ideas | Exercise 4.6

Question 1 : Take a circular sheet. Fold it into two halves. Crease the fold and open up. Do you find that the circular region is halved by the diameter? A diameter of a circle divides it into two equal parts; each part is a semi-circle. A semi-circle is half of a circle, with the end points of diameter as part of the boundary.
