C
All the standard angles and the angles which can be obtained by bisecting standard angles can be constructed just by using a ruler and compass. Here except 70∘ all other angles can be constructed using ruler and compass.

A and B
To construct a right angle triangle, the following steps should be followed:
1. Draw a line OB of given length.
2. With O as centre, make an arc of any radius intersecting OB at X.
3. With X as a centre, draw another arc keeping the radius same intersecting the previous arc at D.
4. ∠DOB will be 60∘.
5. With D as a centre and keeping the radius same, draw another arc intersecting the first arc at C.
6. ∠COB will be 120∘ .
7. Bisect COD drawing two equal arcs from each points intersecting at E.
8. Join EO and extend till A. ∠AOB will be 90∘.
So, it can be seen that both 60∘ and angle bisector construction is used in the process.

The procedure for Triangle Construction 2 is:
1. Draw the base BC of ∆ABC as given and construct ∠XBC of the required measure at B as shown.
2. From the ray, BX cut an arc equal to AB – AC at point P and join it to C as shown
3. Draw the perpendicular bisector of PC and let it intersect BX at point A as shown:
4. Join AC, ∆ABC is the required triangle.
Hence, it is clear that a perpendicular bisector is required in the process.

B and C
The difference between two sides of a triangle should be smaller than the third side. So only 8 cm and 10 cm can be the possible difference.
:
D
In a triangle, the sum of the lengths of any 2 sides of a triangle must be greater than the third side. The third side can measure anything less than 11 units. Hence, the third side can be 10 units.
:
C
The information given above is insufficient to construct a triangle. So, the triangle cannot be constructed and its characteristics can’t be determined.

75∘=90∘+60∘2
Hence bisecting 90∘ and 60∘ will give 75∘.
:
A
An angle bisector divides a given angle into two equal angles. Since BD divides ∠ ABC into two equal angles, it is an angle bisector.
:
A
It is possible to get 30∘ from given angle of 60∘ by simply drawing an angle bisector. Hence the given statement is true.
:
B
To draw a triangle, we must know its perimeter along with two base angles. Hence the given statement is false.
