Using a ruler, draw a straight line that connects the vertex of the angle to the point where the two arcs intersect. 4. The line drawn in step 3 is the angle bisector.
3. Can we construct a triangle if we know the lengths of its three sides?
Ans. Yes, we can construct a triangle if we know the lengths of its three sides. This is known as the SSS (side-side-side) criterion. To construct a triangle using the SSS criterion, draw a line segment of the given length for each side, and then connect the endpoints of all three line segments to form the triangle.
4. How can we construct a perpendicular bisector of a line segment?
Ans. To construct a perpendicular bisector of a line segment, follow these steps: 1. Draw a line segment using a ruler. 2. Place the compass on one endpoint of the line segment and draw an arc that intersects the line segment. 3. Without changing the compass width, place the compass on the other endpoint of the line segment and draw another arc that intersects the line segment. 4. Using a ruler, draw a straight line that connects the two points where the arcs intersect the line segment. 5. The line drawn in step 4 is the perpendicular bisector of the line segment.
5. Can we construct a square if we know the length of its diagonal?
Ans. Yes, we can construct a square if we know the length of its diagonal. This is known as the diagonal method. To construct a square using the diagonal method, draw the diagonal of the square using a ruler. Then, place the compass on one endpoint of the diagonal and draw an arc that intersects the diagonal. Without changing the compass width, place the compass on the other endpoint of the diagonal and draw another arc that intersects the diagonal. Connect the two points where the arcs intersect the diagonal to form a side of the square. Repeat this process for the other three sides of the square.
