Draw a line segment of length 8 cm and divide it internally in the ratio 4: 5.
Steps of construction.
Construct an isosceles triangle with base 8 cm and altitude 4 cm. Construct another triangle whose sides are 2/3 times the corresponding sides of the isosceles triangle.
Steps of Construction
Step 1. Draw a line segment BC = 8 cm.
Step 2. Draw the perpendicular bisector XY of BC, cutting BC at D.
Step 3. With D as centre and radius 4 cm, draw an arc cutting XY at A.
Step 4. Join AB and AC. Here, ∆ABC is isosceles whose base is 8 cm and the altitude is 4 cm.
Step 5. Below BC, draw an acute angle ∠CBX.
Step 6. Along BX, mark three points B1, B2 and B3 such that BB1 = B1B2 = B2B3.
Step 7. Join CB3.
Step 8. From B2, draw B2C' || CB3 meeting BC at C'.
Step 9. From C', draw A'C' || AC meeting AB in A'.
Draw a triangle ABC with BC = 6 cm, AB = 5 cm and ∠ABC 60. Then construct a triangle whose sides are 3/4 of the corresponding sides of the △ABC.
Construct a tangent of a circle of radius 4 cm from a point on the concentriccircle of radius 6 cm.
Draw a line segment AB of length 8 cm. Taking A as centre, draw a circle of radius 4 cm and taking B as centre, draw another circle of radius 3 cm. Construct tangents to each circle from the centre of the other circle.
Construct a triangle ABC with side BC = 7 cm, ∠B = 45°, ∠A = 105°. Then construct another triangle whose sides are 3/4 times the corresponding sides of the Δ ABC.
Draw a triangle ABC with side BC = 6 cm, C = 300 and A = 1050. Then construct another triangle whose sides are times the corresponding sides of ABC.
