Construct a DeltaABC whose perimeter is 10.5 cm and the base angles are 60^(@) and 45^(@).

Answer»

Solution :Steps of CONSTRUCTION :
1. Draw `PQ = 10.5 cm.`
2. Construct `ANGLERPQ = 60^(@)` and `angleSQP = 45^(@)`.
3.Draw the bisector of `angleRPQ` and `angleSPQ` which intersect each other at`A.`
4. Join `AP` and `AQ.`
5. Draw the PERPENDICULAR bisectors of `AP` and `AQ` which intersect `PQ`at points `B` and `C` respectively.
6. Join `AB` and `AC.`

`therefore DeltaABC` is the required triangle.

Draw an angle of 80^(@) with the help of protractor . Then, construct angles of (i) 40^(@) (ii) 160^(@) and (iii) 120^(@) .

Answer»

Solution :First, draw an angle of `80^(@)say angleQOA = 180^(@)` with the help of protractor. Now, use the the following steps to construct angles of
`(i) 40^(@) (ii) 160^(@) and (III) 120^(@)` .

(i) Taking O as centre and any radius an which INTERSECT `OA` at `E` and OQ at F .
(ii) Taking E and F as centres and radius more than `(1)/(2)EF` draw arcs which intersect each other at `P`.
(iii) Join `OP`. Thus, `anglePOA = 40^(@) [because40^(@)=(1)/(2)xx80^(@)]`
(iv) Now, taking `F` as centre and radius equal to `EF` draw an arc which intersect previous arc obtained in step ii at `S` .
(v)Join `OS`. Thus, `angleSOA = 160^(@) [because160^(@)=2xx80^(@)]`
(VI) Taking `S` and `F` as centre and radius more than `(1)/(2)SF` draw arcs which intersect each other at `R.` ,
(vii) Join `OR`. Thus , `angleROA = angleROQ = 40^(@) + 80^(@) = 120^(@)`

Draw an angle of 110^(@) with the help of a protractor and bisect it. Measure each angle.

Answer»

SOLUTION :Draw `angleBXA = 110^(@)` with the help of a protractor. Now , we use the following STEPS for REQUIRED construction

(i) Taking `X` as centre and any radius daw an arc to intersect the rays `XA` and `XB`, say at `E` and `D`, respectively.
(ii) Taking `D` and `E` as centres and with the radius more than `(1)/(2)DE`, draw arcs to intersect each other say at `F`.
(iii) Draw the ray `XF`.
Thus , say `XF` is the required bisector of the angle `BXA`.
On measuring each angle , we GET `angleBXC = angleAXC = 55^(@)`
`[becauseangleBXC = angleAXC = (1)/(2)angleBXA = (1)/(2)xx110^(@) = 55^(@)]`
