CONSTRUCTIONS MCQs
:
A
A triangle in which the difference of two sides is less than the third side can be made. The steps are as follows:
Step 1 : Draw a line segment BC of length 3.4cm.
Step 2 : Draw an angle of 45∘ from point B.
Step 3 : From Ray BX cut off the line segment BD = 1.5cm.
Step 4 : Join D to C.
Step 5 : Draw bisector of DC.
Step 6 : Extend bisector of DC to intersect the Ray BX at point A.
Step 7 : Join A to C, Δ ABC is the required triangle.

A
As OQ is angle bisector of ∠POA, so ∠POQ = ∠QOA= 45∘

A
A 60∘ angle can be made by first drawing a line segment AB of any length.
Construct an angle of 60 degrees at both A and B using a compass.
Let the rays intersect each other at P.
The triangle ABP formed is an equilateral triangle. So we can see that the concept behind an equilateral triangle can be used in constructing a 60∘ angle.
:
B
In ΔAXB
PQ is the perpendicular bisector of XA, the two triangles formed are congruent by SAS rule.
∴ AB = XB
⇒ ∠BAX=∠AXB
∠ABC=∠BAX+∠AXB
= 2 ∠AXB=∠LXY
[Since ∠AXB is angle bisector of ∠LXY]
Similarly, ∠ACB=∠MYXTherefore, ∠ABC=75∘ and ∠BCA=60∘In ΔABC, we have∠ABC+∠BCA+∠CAB=180∘75∘+60∘+∠CAB=180∘∠CAB=180∘−135∘∠CAB=45∘

A and D
Angles 60o and 30o can be constructed using a scale and compass.
1. Draw a line l.
2. With O as centre and with any convenient radius, draw an arc to cut line l at A.
3. With A as centre and with the same radius, draw an arc to cut the previous arc at B.
4. Join OB and extend. ∠AOB= 60o
5. To construct 30o we bisect 60o.
The remaining two angles cannot be constructed without using a protractor.
