Important Questions on Practical Geometry
Following are steps while constructing a line segment of length using ruler. Which of the following steps is incorrect?
Step-1: First mark a point on paper.
Step-2: Place a ruler in such a way that its zero point coincide with point .
Step-3: Draw a line from the point A of the measure of cm on the ruler.
Step-4: Now, name the end point as .
Step-5: AB is the required line segment.

Arrange the following steps to construct an angle of .
Step-1: Again, with as centre, without changing the radius, draw one more arc. Both arcs intersect at .
Step-2: Draw a ray with as initial point through the point .
Now, measure of .
Step-3: Draw a ray .
Step-4: Now, without changing the radius, keeping as centre, draw an arc. Both the arcs intersect at a point .
Step-5: With as centre, draw an arc cutting at .

Arrange the following steps to construct perpendicular bisector of line segment .
Step-1: With the same radius and with as centre, draw another circle using compasses, which cuts the previous circle at and .
Step-2: Join Now is the required perpendi- cular bisector of
Step-3: Draw a of any length.
Step-4: With as centre, using compasses, draw a circle. The radius of the circle should be more than half the length of .

Following are the steps while constructing a perpendicular to a line through a point not on it. Out of these one of the steps is incorrect. Select the incorrect step.
Step-1: Given a line and a point not on it.
Step-2: With as centre, draw an are which intersects line at two points and .
Step-3: With any convenient radius and with and as centres, construct two ares that intersect at a point, say , on the other side.
Step-4: Join .

If , then measure of equals
