Draw a line segment of length 8 cm and divide it internally in the ratio 4: 5.
Steps of construction.
1) Draw a line segment AB = 8 cm.
2) Draw a ray AX making an acute angle ∠BAX=60° with AB.
3) Draw a ray BY parallel to AX by making an acute angle ∠ABY=∠BAX.
4) Mark four points A1, A2, A3, A4 on AX and five points B1,B2,B3,B4,B5 on BY in such a way that AA1=A1A2=A2A3=A3A4.
5) Join A4B5
6) Let this line intersect AB at a point P.
Thus, P is the point dividing the line segment AB internally in the ratio of 4:5.
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.
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.
