2. Draw a line segment PQ = 8.4 cm. Divide PQ into four equal parts using ruler and compass. [CBSE-14-ERFKZ8H], [CBSE – 14-GDQNI3W], [CBSE-14-17DIG1U]
Answer. Steps of construction :

  1. Draw a line segment PQ = 8.4 cm.
  2. With P and Q as centres, draw arcs of radius little more than half of PQ. Let his line intersects PQ in M.
  3. With M and Q as centres, draw arcs of radius little more than half of MQ. Let this line intersects PQ in N.
  4. With P and M as centres, draw arcs of radius little more than half of PM. Let this line intersects PQ in L. Thus, L, M and N divide the line segment PQ in four equal parts.

3. Draw any reflex angle. Bisect it using compass. Name the angles so obtained. [CBSE-15-NS72LP7]
Answer.
cbse-class-9-mathematics-constructions-3

4. Why we cannot construct a ΔABC, if ∠A=60°, AB — 6 cm, AC + BC = 5 cm but construction of A ABC is possible if ∠A=60°, AB = 6 cm and AC – BC = 5 cm. [CBSE-14-GDQNI3W]
Answer. We know that, by triangle inequality property, construction of triangle is possible if sum of two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side.
Here, AC + BC = 5 cm which is less than AB ( 6 cm)
Thus, ΔABC is not possible.
Also, by triangle inequality property, construction of triangle is possible, if difference of two
sides of a triangle is less than the third side
Here, AC – BC = 5 cm, which is less than AB (6 cm)
Thus, ΔABC is possible.

5. Construct angle of \({{\left[ 52\frac{1}{2} \right]}^{0}}\) using compass only. [CBSE-14-17DIG1U]

7. Construct an equilateral triangle LMN, one of whose side is 5 cm. Bisect ∠ M of the triangle. [CBSE March 2012]
Answer. Steps of construction :

  1.  Draw a line segment LM = 5 cm.
  2. Taking L as centre and radius 5 cm draw an arc.
  3. Taking M as centre and radius draw an other arc intersecting previous arc at N.
  4. Join LN and MN. Thus, ΔLMN is the required equilateral triangle.
  5. Taking M as centre and any suitable radius, draw an arc intersecting LM at P and MN at Q.
  6. Taking P and Q as centres and same radii, draw arcs intersecting at S.
  7. Join MS and produce it meet LN at R. Thus, MSR is the required bisector of ∠M.
