CONSTRUCTIONS AND LOCI

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS:


1. The circumcentre of a triangle is the point which is∶
(a) at equal distance from the three sides of the triangle.
(b) at equal distance from the three vertices of the triangle.
(c) the point of intersection of the three medians.
(d) the point of intersection of the three altitudes of the triangle.
2. Locus of a moving point is _______________ if it moves such that it keeps a fixed distance
from a fixed point.
(a) Circle (b) Line (c) Angle (d) Line segment
PRACTICE QUESTIONS:
1. (a) Construct a triangle ABC such that BC = 8cm , AC = 10 cm and ∠ABC = 90°.
(b) Construct an incircle to this triangle. Mark the centre as I.
(c) Measure and write the length of the in-radius.
(d) Measure and write the length of the tangents from vertex C to the incircle.

triangle respectively. Write the relationship between ∠RIQ and ∠QCR.


(e) Mark points P, Q and R where the incircle touches the sides AB, BC, and AC of the

[(b) 2cm (c) 5.8cm (d) ∠RIQ +∠QCR=180°]


2. (Use a ruler and a compass for this question.)
(a) Construct the locus of a moving point which moves such that it keeps a fixed distance
of 4.5 cm from a fixed-point O.
(b) Draw line segment AB of 6 cm where A and B are two points on the locus (a).
(c) Construct the locus of all points equidistant from A and B. Name the points of
intersection of the loci (a) and (c) as P and Q respectively.
(d) Join PA. Find the locus of all points equidistant from AP and AB.
(e) Mark the point of intersection of the locus (a) and (d) as R. Measure and write down the
length of AR. [(e) AR≈ 8.8cm or 4.8cm]
3. Construct a regular hexagon PQRSTU of side 4.3 cm and construct its circumscribed circle.

other at point A. Measure and record ∠QAR.


Also, construct tangents to the circumscribed circle at points Q and R which meets each
[∠BPC=120°]
4. Use ruler and compass for the following question taking a scale of 10 m = 1cm. A park in a
city is bounded by straight fences AB,BC, CD and DA.
Given that AB = 50 m, BC = 63 m, ∠ ABC=75 . D is a point equidistant from the fences AB
0

and BC. If ∠ BAD=90 , construct the outline of the park ABCD. Also locate a point P on the
0

line BD for the flag post which is equidistant from the corners of the park A and B.
5. Use ruler and compass only for answering this question. Draw a circle of radius 4 cm. Mark
the centre as O. Mark a point P outside the circle at a distance of 7 cm from the centre.
Construct two tangents to the circle from the external point P. Measure and write down the
length of any one tangent.
6. Using ruler and a compass only construct a semi-circle with diameter BC = 7cm. Locate a
point A on the circumference of the semicircle such that A is equidistant from B and C.

Measure ∠ADC and write it down.


Complete the cyclic quadrilateral ABCD, such that D is equidistant from AB and BC.

7. Using ruler and compass construct a triangle ABC where AB = 3 cm, BC = 4 cm and
ABC = 90 . Hence construct a circle circumscribing the triangle ABC. Measure and write
0

down the radius of the circle.
