Step 3: With C and D as centres, two arcs are marked intersecting each other at X and the bisector of ∠BOY is drawn.
Thus, ∠XOY is the required angle making 15° with OY.
4. Construct the following angles and verify by measuring them by a protractor:
(i) 75° (ii) 105° (iii) 135°
Answer
(i) 75°
Steps of constructions:
Step 1: A ray OY is drawn.
Step 2: An arc BAE is drawn with O as a centre.
Step 3: With E as a centre, two arcs are A and C are made on the arc BAE.
Step 4: With A and B as centres, arcs are made to intersect at X and ∠XOY = 90° is made.
Step 5: With A and C as centres, arcs are made to intersect at D
Step 6: OD is joined and and ∠DOY = 75° is constructed.
Thus, ∠DOY is the required angle making 75° with OY.
(ii) 105°
Steps of constructions:
Step 1: A ray OY is drawn.
Step 2: An arc ABC is drawn with O as a centre.
Step 3: With A as a centre, two arcs are B and C are made on the arc ABC.
Step 4: With B and C as centres, arcs are made to intersect at E and ∠EOY = 90° is made.
Step 5: With B and C as centres, arcs are made to intersect at X
Step 6: OX is joined and and ∠XOY = 105° is constructed.
Thus, ∠XOY is the required angle making 105° with OY.
(iii) 135°
Steps of constructions:Step 1: A ray DY is drawn.
Step 2: An arc ACD is drawn with O as a centre.
Step 3: With A as a centre, two arcs are B and C are made on the arc ACD.
Step 4: With B and C as centres, arcs are made to intersect at E and ∠EOY = 90° is made.
Step 5: With F and D as centres, arcs are made to intersect at X or bisector of ∠EOD is constructed.
Step 6: OX is joined and and ∠XOY = 135° is constructed.
Thus, ∠XOY is the required angle making 135° with DY.
5. Construct an equilateral triangle, given its side and justify the construction.
Answer
Steps of constructions:
Step 1: A line segment AB=4 cm is drawn.
Step 2: With A and B as centres, two arcs are made.
Step 4: With D and E as centres, arcs are made to cut the previous arc respectively and forming angle of 60° each.
Step 5: Lines from A and B are extended to meet each other at C.
Thus, ABC is the required triangle formed.
Justification:
By construction,
AB = 4 cm, ∠A = 60° and ∠B = 60°
We know that,
∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180° (Sum of the angles of a triangle)
⇒ 60° + 60° + ∠C = 180°
⇒ 120° + ∠C = 180°
⇒ ∠C = 60°
BC = CA = 4 cm (Sides opposite to equal angles are equal)
AB = BC = CA = 4 cm
∠A = ∠B = ∠C = 60°

Exercise 11.2
1. Construct a triangle ABC in which BC = 7cm, ∠B = 75° and AB + AC = 13 cm.
Answer
Steps of Construction:
Step 1: A line segment BC of 7 cm is drawn.
Step 2: At point B, an angle ∠XBC is constructed such that it is equal to 75°.
Step 3: A line segment BD = 13 cm is cut on BX (which is equal to AB+AC).
Step 3: DC is joined and ∠DCY = ∠BDC is made.
Step 4: Let CY intersect BX at A.
Thus, ΔABC is the required triangle.
2. Construct a triangle ABC in which BC = 8cm, ∠B = 45° and AB – AC = 3.5 cm.
Answer
Steps of Construction:
Step 1: A line segment BC = 8 cm is drawn and at point B, make an angle of 45° i.e. ∠XBC.
Step 2: Cut the line segment BD = 3.5 cm (equal to AB – AC) on ray BX.
Step 3: Join DC and draw the perpendicular bisector PQ of DC.
Step 4: Let it intersect BX at point A. Join AC.
Thus, ΔABC is the required triangle.
3. Construct a triangle PQR in which QR = 6cm, ∠Q = 60° and PR – PQ = 2cm.
Answer
Steps of Construction:
Step 1: A ray QX is drawn and cut off a line segment QR = 6 cm from it.
Step 2:. A ray QY is constructed making an angle of 60º with QR and YQ is produced to form a line YQY’
Step 3: Cut off a line segment QS = 2cm from QY’. RS is joined.
Step 5: Draw perpendicular bisector of RS intersecting QY at a point P. PR is joined.
Thus, ΔPQR is the required triangle.
4. Construct a triangle XYZ in which ∠Y = 30°, ∠Z = 90° and XY + YZ + ZX = 11 cm.
Answer
Steps of Construction:
Step 1: A line segment PQ = 11 cm is drawn. (XY + YZ + ZX = 11 cm)
Step 2: An angle, ∠RPQ = 30° is constructed at point A and an angle ∠SQP = 90° at point B.
Step 3: ∠RPQ and ∠SQP are bisected . The bisectors of these angles intersect each other at point X.
Step 4: Perpendicular bisectors TU of PX and WV of QX are constructed.
Step V: Let TU intersect PQ at Y and WV intersect PQ at Z. XY and XZ are joined.
Thus, ΔXYZ is the required triangle.
5. Construct a right triangle whose base is 12cm and sum of its hypotenuse and other side is 18 cm.
Answer
Steps of Construction:
Step 1: A ray BX is drawn and a cut off a line segment BC = 12 cm is made on it.
Step 2: ∠XBY = 90° is constructed.
Step 3: Cut off a line segment BD = 18 cm is made on BY. CD is joined.
Step 4: Perpendicular bisector of CD is constructed intersecting BD at A. AC is joined.
Thus, ΔABC is the required triangle.
