NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 11 - Exercise 11.1 Constructions

Basic Constructions

A geometrical construction means to draw geometrical figures, such as an angle, a circle, a triangle, a quadrilateral, and a polygon, etc.
We normally use all or some of the following instruments for drawing geometrical figures:NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 11 - Exercise 11.1 Constructions

  • A protractor
  • A pair of compasses
  • A pair of set squares
  • A pair of dividers
  • A graduated scale

Exercise 11.1

Q1. Construct an angle of 90º at the initial point of a given ray and justify the construction.
Ans: Steps of construction:

  • Draw a ray OA.
  • Taking O as the centre and suitable radius, draw a semicircle, which cuts OA at B.
  • Keeping the radius the same, divide the semicircle into three equal parts such that NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 11 - Exercise 11.1 Constructions
  • DrawNCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 11 - Exercise 11.1 Constructions
  • DrawNCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 11 - Exercise 11.1 Constructions, the bisector of ∠COD.

Thus, ∠AOF = 90º.

Justification:

∵ O is the centre of the semicircle and it is divided into 3 equal parts.

NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 11 - Exercise 11.1 Constructions
∠BOC = ∠COD = ∠DOE
∵ Equal chords subtend equal angles at the centre
∴ ∠BOC + ∠COD + ∠DOE = 180º
∠BOC + ∠BOC + ∠BOC = 180º
3∠BOC = 180°
∴ ∠BOC = 60º
Similarly, ∠COD = 60º and ∠DOE = 60º
∵ OF is the bisector of ∠COD.
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 11 - Exercise 11.1 Constructions= 30º
Now, ∠BOC + ∠COF = 60º + 30º
∠BOF = 90º or ∠AOF = 90º

FAQs on NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 11 - Exercise 11.1 Constructions

1. What are the basic constructions in geometry?
Ans. The basic constructions in geometry include constructing a perpendicular bisector of a line segment, constructing an angle bisector, constructing a perpendicular from a point to a line, constructing parallel lines, and constructing triangles of different types.
2. How do you construct a perpendicular bisector of a line segment?
Ans. To construct a perpendicular bisector of a line segment, we follow these steps: 1. Draw an arc from each endpoint of the line segment. 2. From the intersections of the arcs, draw two more arcs that intersect each other. 3. Draw a straight line connecting the midpoint of the line segment to the intersection of the two arcs. This line is the perpendicular bisector.
3. What is the purpose of constructing an angle bisector?
Ans. The purpose of constructing an angle bisector is to divide an angle into two equal parts. This construction is often used in various geometric problems and proofs.
4. How can you construct a perpendicular from a point to a line?
Ans. To construct a perpendicular from a point to a line, follow these steps: 1. Draw a line segment from the given point to any point on the line. 2. On this line segment, construct the perpendicular bisector. 3. The intersection of the perpendicular bisector with the given line is the desired perpendicular from the point to the line.
5. Can you explain how to construct parallel lines?
Ans. Yes, to construct parallel lines, follow these steps: 1. Draw a line segment and a point outside the line segment. 2. From the given point, construct a perpendicular to the line segment. 3. Using the same length as the line segment, draw an arc from the endpoint of the line segment. 4. From the other endpoint, draw an arc intersecting the first arc. 5. Draw a line connecting the intersection points of the arcs. This line is parallel to the given line segment.
