Exercise 29(B)
1. Construct a triangle ABC with AB = 4.2 cm, BC = 6 cm and AC = 5 cm. Construct the circumcircle of the triangle drawn.
Solution:
Steps of Construction:
(i) Draw a line segment AB = 4.2 cm
(ii) Now, taking B as centre, draw an arc of length 6 cm from B using compass
(iii) Again taking A as centre, draw another arc bisecting the previous arc marked by B at point C such that AC = 5 cm
(iv) Join C to points A and B. The required triangle ABC is obtained
(v) Draw the perpendicular bisector of any two sides of the triangle. Let these intersects at point O.
(vi) Taking O as centre and OA or OB or OC as radius, draw a circle with the help of compass
This circle will pass through the vertices A, B and C
2. Construct a triangle PQR with QR = 5.5 cm, ∠Q = 600 and angle R = 450. Construct the circumcircle of the triangle PQR.
Solution:
Steps of Construction:
(i) Draw a △PQR in which QR = 5.5 cm.
(ii) With the help of compass, draw ∠Q = 600 and ∠R = 450
(iii) Both ∠Q and ∠R intersect at point P, thus forming a △PQR
(iv) Using compass, draw a perpendicular bisector of PR and QR which intersects at point O
(v) Now, taking O as centre and OP or OQ or OR as radius draw a circle with the help of compass
(vi) This circle will pass through the vertices P, Q and R
3. Construct a triangle ABC with AB = 5 cm, ∠B = 600 and BC = 6.4 cm. Draw the incircle of the triangle ABC.
Solution:
Steps of Construction:
(i) Draw a line AB of length 5 cm
(ii) Taking B as centre, draw an angle B = 600 using compass.
(iii) With the help of compass, draw an arc BC = 6.4 cm from point B as centre
(iv) Join the points A and C such that it forms a △ABC
(v) Now, from A and B cut the bisector of ∠A and ∠B which intersects each other at point D.
(vi) Taking D as centre, draw an incircle with the help of compass which touches all the three sides of △ABC
4. Construct a triangle XYZ in which XY = YZ = 4.5 cm and ZX = 5.4 cm. Draw the circumcircle of the triangle and measure its circumradius.
Solution:
Steps of Construction:
(i) Draw a line XY = 4.5 cm
(ii) With the help of compass, draw an arc of 4. 5 cm from Y as centre
(iii) Again with the help of compass, draw another arc of 5.4 cm from X as centre which intersects the previous arc made by Y
(iv) Now, mark the intersection as point Z and join it to both X and Y. The required triangle XYZ is obtained.
(v) Draw the bisectors of XZ and YZ which meet at point O
(vi) Taking O as centre and radius OX or OY or OZ draw a circle using compass
(vii) This circle will pass through the vertices X, Y and Z
5. Construct a triangle PQR in which, PQ = QR = RP = 5.7 cm. Draw the incircle of the triangle and measure its radius.
Solution:
Steps of Construction:
(i) Draw a line segment PQ = 5.7 cm
(ii) Taking Q as centre, draw an arc 5.7 cm from Q with the help of compass
(iii) Again with the help of compass, draw another arc of 5.7 cm from P as centre which intersects the previous arc made by Q
(iv) Mark the intersection point as R and joint it to both P and Q respectively
(v) Thus the required triangle RPQ is obtained
(vi) Now, from P and Q cut the bisector of ∠P and ∠Q, which intersect each other at point O
(vii) Taking P as centre, draw an incircle which touches all the three sides of △RPQ
