Which of the following steps is incorrect while constructing XYZ if it is given that XY=6 cm, ZXY=30° and XYZ=100°

Step 1: Draw line XY of length 6 cm.

Step 2: At X, draw a ray XP making an angle of 30° with XY.

Step 3: At Y, draw a ray YO making an angle of 100° with YX.

Step 4: The point of intersection of the two rays XY and YQ is Z.

Arrange the given steps in correct order, while constructing PQR where PMQS and it is given that QR=4.2 cm, Q=120° and PQ=3.5 cm.

Step 1: Now extend RQ to S and with P as centre and with a sufficient radius, draw an arc, cutting SQ at A and B.

Step 2: Along QX, set off QP=3.5 cm.

Step 3: Draw a line segment QR=4.2 cm and construct RQX=120°.

Step 4: Joint PR.

Step 5: Joint PC, meeting RQ produced at M. Then, PMQS.

Step 6: With A as centre and radius more than half AB, draw an arc. Now with B as centre and with the same radius draw another arc, cutting the previous arc at C.

State ‘T’ for true and ‘F’ for false.

1 In a triangle, the measure of exterior angle is equal to the sum of the measure of interior opposite angles.

2 The sum of the measures of the three angles of a triangle is 90°.

3 A perpendicular is always at 90° to a given line or surface.

Which of the following steps is incorrect while constructing LMN, right angled at M, given that LN=5 cm and MN=3 cm?

Step 1. Draw MN of length 3 cm.

Step 2. At M, draw MXMN. (L should be somewhere on this perpendicular).

Step 3. With N as centre,draw an arc of radius 5cm. ( L must be on this arc, since it is at a distance of 5 cm from N).

Step 4. L has to be on the perpendicular line MX as well as on the arc drawn with centre N. Therefore, L is the meeting point of these two and LMN is obtained.

Arrange the steps marked i to v 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 1. Take a line l and a point A outside l.

Step 2. Take any point B on l and join B to A.

(i) Now with A as centre and the same radius as in previous step, draw an arc EF cutting AB at G.

(ii) With the same opening as in previous step draw an arc cutting the arc EF at H.

(iii) With B as centre and a convenient radius, draw an arc cutting l at C and BA at D.

(iv) Now, join AH to draw a line m.

v Now with C as centre, open the compass for the radius equal to the arc CD.
