Question 23 Marks
Construct the following and give justification:
A right triangle when one side is 3.5cm and sum of other sides and the hypotenuse is 5.5cm.
Answer
In $\triangle\text{ABC},$ base BC = 3.5cm, the sum of other side and hypotenuse i.e., AB + AC = 5.5cm and $\angle\text{ABC}=90^\circ$ To construct, An $\triangle\text{ABC}.$ Steps of construction,
  1. Draw a ray BX and cut off a line segment BC = 3.5cm from it.
  2. Construct $\angle\text{XBY}=90^\circ$ with the help of a ruler and compass.
  3. From by cut off a line segment BD = 5.5cm.
  1. Join CD.
  2. Draw the perpendicular bisector of CD intersecting BD at A.
  3. Join AC. Then, ABC is the required triangle.

Question 43 Marks
Construct the following and give justification:
An equilateral triangle if its altitude is 3.2cm.
Answer
Steps of Construction,
  1. Draw a line l.
  2. Mark any point D on the line l.
  1. At point D, draw $\overline{\text{DX}}\perp\text{l}$ with the help of ruler and compass and cut DA = 3.2cm on $\overline{\text{DX}}.$
  2. At the point A, construct AB and AC which meets the l as points B and C respectively such that $\angle\text{DAB}=30^\circ$ and $\angle\text{DAC}=30^\circ$
Then $\triangle\text{ABC}=30^\circ$ is the required equilateral triangle because,
$\angle\text{ABC}=180^\circ-(90^\circ+30^\circ)=60^\circ$
$\angle\text{ACB}=180^\circ-(90^\circ+30^\circ)=60^\circ$
And $\angle\text{BAC}=30^\circ+30^\circ=60^\circ$

Answer
Steps of construction,
  1. Draw XY = 10.4cm
  2. Draw $\angle\text{LXY}=45^\circ$ and $\angle\text{MYX}=120^\circ$ with the help of protractor.
  3. Draw angle bisector $\angle\text{LXY}.$
  4. Draw angles bisector of $\angle\text{MYX}$ such that it meets the angle bisector of $\angle\text{LXY}$ at point A.
  5. Draw the perpendicular bisector of AX such that it meets XY at B.
  6. Draw the perpendicular bisector of AY such that it meets XY at C.
  7. Join AB and AC. Thus ABC is the required triangle.

Question 73 Marks
Draw an angle of 110° with the help of a protractor and bisect it. Measure each angle.
Answer
Draw $\angle\text{BXA}=110^\circ$ with the help of a protractor. Now, we use the following steps for required construction.

Taking X as centre and any radius daw an arc to Intersect the rays XA and XB, say at E and D, respectively.
Taking D and E as centres and with the radius more than $\frac{1}{2}\text{DE},$ draw arcs to intersect each other, say at F.
Draw the ray XF. Thus, ray XF is the required bisector of the angle BXA. On measuring each angle.
we get,
$\angle\text{BXC}=\angle\text{AXC}=55^\circ$
$\Big[\therefore\ \angle\text{BXC}=\angle\text{AXC}=\frac{1}{2}\ \angle\text{BXA}=\frac{1}{2}\times110^\circ=55^\circ\Big]$
