Solution
- (b)
Explanation: With the help of a ruler and a compass, it is not possible to construct an angle which is not a multipe of . Since ia not a multiple of , so, we cannot construct it. - (c) 2.8 cm.
Explanation: The construction of is possible when difference of other two sides is less than its base i.e BC> AB-AC. - (b) not parallel
Explanation: For the parallel lines, the corresponding or alternate angles should be equal, but here 2 and 5 are neither corresponding nor alternate so, the lines m and n cannot be parallel. - (c)
Explanation: With the help of a ruler and a compass, it is not possible to construct an angle which is not a multiple of and as in these option, is not a multiple of ,so we can not construct an angle of . - (d)
Explanation: With the help of a ruler and a compass, we can not construct an angle which is not a multiple of . Since is not a multiple of , so, we can not construct it. Yes, we can draw by constructing an angle of 135° with protractor and bisecting it with compass. (Since bisecting angles means dividing it into half, hence = 67.5)
Given: POQ and a point A
Required: To construct an angle at A equal to POQ.
Steps in construction:- With O as centre and suitable radius, draw an arc to meet OP at R and OQ at S.
- Through A draw a line AB of any length.
- Taking A as centre and radius equal to OR draw an arc to meet AB at D.
- Measure the segment RS with compass.
- With D as centre and radius equal to RS, draw an arc to meet the previous arc at E.
- Join AE and produce it to C, then BAC is the required angle equal to POQ.
Steps of Construction:-
ABR = RBC = 60o
- Draw angle ABC of 120o.
- With centre B and any radius, draw an arc which intersect AB at P and BC at Q.
- With centre P and Q and radius more than PQ, draw two arcs which intersect each other at R.
- Join BR.
Steps of Construction:-
RBC = 45o.
- Draw an angle ABC of 90o.
- With centre B and any radius, draw an arc which intersects AB at P and BC at Q.
- With centres P and Q and radius more than PQ, draw two arcs which intersect each other at R.
- Join RB.
Given: In triangle ABC, B = 60o and C = 45o and AB + BC + CA = 12 cm.
Required: To construct the triangle ABC.
Steps of construction :ABC is the required triangle.
- Draw a line segment XY = AB + BC + CA = 12 cm.
- Make LXY = ∠B = 60o and MYX = C = 45o
- Bisect LXY and MYX. Let these bisectors meet at a point A.
- Draw the perpendicular bisectors PQ of AX and RS of AY.
- Let PQ intersects XY at B and RS intersects XY at C.
- Join AB and AC.
Steps of construction:
- Draw a ray OA.
- With O as centre and convenient radius, draw an arc LM cutting OA at L.
- Now with L as centre and radius OL, draw an arc cutting the arc LM at P.
- Then taking P as centre and radius OL, draw an arc cutting arc PM at the point Q.
- Join OP to draw the ray OB. Also join O and Q to draw the OC. We observe that: AOB = BOC = 60°
- Now we have to bisect BOC. For this, with P as centre and radius greater than PQ draw an arc.
- Now with Q as centre and the same radius as in step 6, draw another arc cutting the arc drawn in step 6 at R.
- Join O and R and draw ray OD.
Then AOD is the required angle of 90°.
Justification:
Join PL, then OL = OP = PL [by construction]
Therefore OLP is an equilateral triangle and POL which is same as BOA is equal to 60°.
Now join QP, then OP = OQ = PQ [ by construction]
Therefore OQP is an equilateral triangle.
POQ which is same as BOC is equal to 60°.
By construction OD is bisector of BOC.
DOC = DOB = BOC = 60° = 30°
Now, DOA = BOA + DOB DOA = 60° + 30°
DOA = 90°
