Question 25 Marks

Draw an angle $ABC$ of measure $45^\circ$, using ruler and compasses. Now draw an angle $DBA$ of measure $30^\circ$, using ruler and compasses as shown in Figure. What is the measure of $\angle\text{DBC}?$

Answer

To draw an angle, we use following steps of construction:
Step I: Draw a line segment $BC$ of any length.
Step II: Place the compass pointer at $B$ and draw a right angle $(90^\circ ).$

Step III: Draw the angle bisector of the right angle, such that $\angle\text{ABC}= \frac12(90^\circ)=45^\circ.$
Step IV: Place the compass pointer at $B$ and draw an angle of $30^\circ $ on the base $\text{BA} (\angle\text{DBA).}$
Step V: By the help of protractor, we get $\angle\text{DBC} =75^\circ.$

Question 35 Marks

Draw a line segment of length $6\ cm.$ Construct its perpendicular bisector. Measure the two parts of theline segment.

Answer

Steps of construction are as follows:
Step I: Draw a line segment $PQ = 6\ cm.$

Step II: With $P$ as centre and a convenient radius $($more than $\frac12 PQ),$ draw an arc.
Step III: With $O$ as centre and same radius, draw another arc, such that it intersects the previous arc at $A$ and $B.$

Step IV: Join $A$ and $B.$
Thus, $AB$ is perpendicular bisector of $PQ$ i.e. $\text{OP} = \text{OQ} =\frac12\times\text{PQ} =\frac12\times 6=3 \text{cm}.$

Question 115 Marks

Copy Figure on your notebook and draw a perpendicular from $P$ to line $m,$ using $(i)$ set squares $(ii)$ Protractor $(iii)$ ruler and compasses. How many such perpendiculars are you able to draw$?$

Answer

We draw perpendicular to $m$ from $P,$ using
$I.\ $Set Squares:
Step $I:$ Let $m$ be the given line and $P$ be a point outside $m.$ Now, extend line m on both the sides.

Step $II:$ Place a set square on $m,$ such that one arm of its right angle aligns along $m.$

Step $III:$ Place a ruler along the edge opposite to the right angle of the set square.

Step $IV:$ Hold the ruler fixed. Slide the set square along the ruler till the point $P$ touches the other arm of the set square.

Step $V:$ Join $PM$ along the edge through $P.$ Meeting $m$ at $O.$
Now, $\text{PO}\bot\text{m.}$

$II.\ $Protractor:
Step $I:$ Let $m$ be the given line and $P$ be a point outside $m.$

Step $II:$ Place the protractor on point $P,$ such that its centre coincides with point $P.$
Step $III:$ Mark a point $B$ against the $90^\circ$ mark on the protractor.
Step $IV:$ Remove the protractor and draw a line $l$ passing through $P$ and $B$ wich intersects line $m$ at $O.$
Then, $\text{PO}\bot\text{m}.$

Ruler and Compass:
Step $I:$ Given, a line m and point $P,$ not it. Extend the given line in both derections.

Step $II:$ With $P$ as centre, draw an arc which intersects line m at two points $A$ and $B.$

Step $III:$ With $A$ and $B$ as centres and the same redius draw two arcs which intersect at a point say $Q,$ on the other side.

Step $IV:$ Join $PQ.$

Thus, $PQ$ is perpendicular to $m.$
We are able to draw one perpendicular line.

Step IV: Again, with $0$ and $B$ as centre and the radius more than half of $OB,$ cut the arc both sides of $OS$ at $X$ and $Y.$ Join $XY,$ it is the bisector of $OB,$ i.e. $OQ = QB.$

Step V: The line segment $AB$ is divided into $4$ equal parts; such that $AP, PO, OQ$ and $QB.$
Step VI: By actual measurement, we have $AP = PO = QB = 2.5\ cm.$

Answer

Given, $\angle\text{B}=65^\circ$

Step of construction are as follows: Step I: Draw a line $l $ and choose a point $P$ on it.

Step II: Place the compass at $B$ and draw an arc to cut the rays of $\angle\text{B}$ at $A$ and $C.$

Step III: Use the same compass setting to draw an arc with $P$ as centre, cutting $l$ at $Q.$

Step IV: Set your compass to the length $AC.$

Step V: Place the compass pointer at $Q$ and draw the arc to cut the previous arc in $R.$

Step VI: Join $PR.$ This gives us $\angle \text{P}.$ It has the same measure as $\angle\text{B.}$

This means $\angle\text{QPR}$ has same measure as $\angle\text{ABC.}$

Question 205 Marks

Draw an angle of $80^\circ$ using a protractor and divide it into four equal parts, using ruler and compasses. Check your construction by measurement.

Answer

Here, to divide an angle of measure $80^\circ $ into four equal parts, we use the following steps of construction:
Step I: Draw a line segment $AB $ of any length. Place the centre of the protractor at $A$ and the zero edge along $AB.$
Step II: Start with zero near $B$ and mark $C$ at $80^\circ .$
Step III: Join $AC,$ then $\angle\text{BAC}$ is an angle of measure $80^\circ .$
Step IV: With $A$ as centre and using compass, draw an arc that cuts both the rays of $\angle\text{A}$ at $P$ and $Q.$
Step V: With $P$ as centre, draw $($in the interior of $\angle\text{A})$ an arc, whose radius is more than half the length of $PQ.$

Step VI: With $Q$ as centre and the same radius, draw another arc in the interior of $A.$ Let the two arcs intersect at $D.$ Join $AD,$ cutting arc $PQ$ at $L.$ Then, $AD$ divides the $\angle\text{BCA}$ into two equal parts.
Step VII: Now, taking $P$ and $L$ as centre, having radius more than half of length $PL,$ draw two arcs respectively, which cut each other at $R.$
Step VIII: Join $AR,$ which divides $\angle\text{BAD}$ into two equal parts.
Step IX: Now, taking $Q$ and $L$ as centre, having radius more than half of length $QL,$ draw two arcs respectively, which cut each other at $M.$
Step X: Join $AM,$ which divide $\angle\text{CAD}$ into two equal parts. Thus, $AM, AD$ and $AR$ divide $\angle\text{BAC}$ into four equal parts.

Question 215 Marks

Draw an angle of $60^\circ$ using ruler and compasses and divide it into four equal parts. Measure each part.

Answer

Step of contruction are as follows:
Step I: Draw a line segment $\overline{\text{PQ}}$ and mark a point $O$ on it.

Step II: Place the pointer of the compass at $O$ (as center) and draw an arc of convenient redius, which cuts the line $PQ$ at a point $X.$

Step III: With the pointer at $X$ (as center) and same redius, draw an arc that passes through $O,$ which intersect at $Y.$

Step IV: Join $OY $ and produce it to $B$. We get $\angle\text{BOX,}$ whose measure is $60^\circ$.

Step V: With $0$ as a centre and using compass draw an arc that cuts both rays of $\angle\text{O}$ at $X$ and $Y.$
Step VI: With $X$ as centre, draw $($in the interior of $\angle\text{O})$ an arc, whose radius is more than half the length of $XY$
Step VII: With the same radius with $Y$ as centre, draw another arc in the interior of $\angle\text{O.}$ Let the two arcs intersects at $D.$ Join $OD,$ cutting arc $XY$ at $L.$ Then, $OD$ divides the $(\angle\text{XOB or}\ \angle\text{QOB)}$ into two equal parts.
Step VIII: Now, taking $X$ and $L $ as centre, having radius more than half of length $XL,$ draw two arcs respectively, which cut each other at $R.$
Step IX: Join $OR,$ which divides $\angle\text{XOD}$ into two equal parts.
Step X: Now, taking $Y$ and $L$ as centre, having radius more than half of length $YL,$ draw two arcs respectively, which cut each other at $M.$
Step XI: Join $OM,$ which divide $\angle\text{BOD}$ into two equal parts.
Thus, $OM, OR$ and $OD$ divide $\angle\text{XOB} (\text{or}\ \angle\text{QOB})$ into four equal parts.

Question 225 Marks

Copy Figure on your notebook and draw a perpendicular to $l$ through $P,$ using $(i)$ set squares $(ii)$ Protractor $(iii)$ ruler and compasses. How many such perpendiculars are you able to draw?

Answer

We draw perpendicular to $l$ through $P$ using.
$I.\ $Set square:
Steps of construction are as follows:
Step $I:$ A line $l$ and a point $P$ are given. Note that $P$ is on the line $l.$

Step $II:$ Place a ruler with one of its edges along $l.$ Hold it firmly.

Step $III:$ Place a set square with one of its edges along the already aligned edge of the ruler, such that the right angled comer is in contact with the ruler.

Step $IV:$ Hold the set square firmly in this position. Draw $\overline{\text{PQ}}$ along the edge of the set square.

$II.\ $Protractor:
Step $I:$ A line $l$ and a point $P$ are given. Note that $P$ is on the line $l.$

Step $II:$ Place the protractor on the line, such that its base line coincides with l and its centre falls on $P.$
Step $III:$ Mark a point $B$ against the $90^\circ$ mark on the protractor.
Step $IV:$ Remove the protractor and draw a line m passing through $P$ and $B.$
Then, $\text{PB}\bot\text{l}$

Ruler and Compass:
Step $I:$ Given, a point $P$ on a line $l.$

Step $II:$ With $P$ as centre and a convenient radius, construct an arc intersecting the line $l$ at two points $A$ and $B.$

Step $III:$ With $A$ and $B$ as centres and a redius greater than $AP$ construct two arcs, which cut each other at $Q.$

Step $IV:$ Join $PQ.$ Then, $PQ$ is perpendicular to $l.$

Hence, we are able to draw one perpendicular line.
