5. Madhu marks two points 6 cm apart and draws arcs of radius 4 cm from each point on the same side. Will the two arcs intersect?
Show answer
Answer: A) Yes, because each radius is more than half of 6 cm
Half of 6 cm is 3 cm, and the radius 4 cm is greater than 3 cm, so the arcs from both points overlap and intersect.
