What will happen if we take straws of unequal lengths?

Correct Answer

If straws of unequal lengths are used, the shape formed will not be circular or symmetrical.

The shape will be irregular with different distances from the center to different points on the boundary.

The shape will not have a uniform radius.

Explanation

The chapter explains that using straws of unequal lengths creates an irregular shape rather than a circle, because a circle requires all points to be at equal distance from the center.

Solution Steps

  1. Straws of unequal lengths create an irregular shape.

  2. The shape is not circular or symmetrical.

  3. Different distances exist from center to boundary points.

  4. No uniform radius exists.
