Important Questions on Practical Geometry


Which of the following steps is incorrect while constructing if it is given that , and
Step Draw line of length .
Step At , draw a ray making an angle of with .
Step At , draw a ray making an angle of with .
Step The point of intersection of the two rays and is .

Arrange the given steps in correct order, while constructing where and it is given that , and .
Step Now extend to and with as centre and with a sufficient radius, draw an arc, cutting at and .
Step Along , set off .
Step Draw a line segment and construct .
Step Joint .
Step Joint , meeting produced at . Then, .
Step With as centre and radius more than half , draw an arc. Now with as centre and with the same radius draw another arc, cutting the previous arc at .

State ‘T’ for true and ‘F’ for false.
In a triangle, the measure of exterior angle is equal to the sum of the measure of interior opposite angles.
The sum of the measures of the three angles of a triangle is .
A perpendicular is always at to a given line or surface.

Which of the following steps is incorrect while constructing , right angled at , given that and ?
Step Draw of length .
Step At , draw . ( should be somewhere on this perpendicular).
Step With as centre,draw an arc of radius . ( must be on this arc, since it is at a distance of from ).
Step has to be on the perpendicular line as well as on the arc drawn with centre . Therefore, is the meeting point of these two and is obtained.

Arrange the steps marked to in correct order while constructing a line parallel to a given line, through a point not on the line using ruler and compasses only.
Step Take a line and a point outside .
Step Take any point on and join to .
Now with as centre and the same radius as in previous step, draw an arc cutting at .
With the same opening as in previous step draw an arc cutting the arc at .
With as centre and a convenient radius, draw an arc cutting at and at .
Now, join to draw a line .
Now with as centre, open the compass for the radius equal to the arc .
