NCERT Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 11 Constructions Ex 11.1

In each of the following, give the justification of the construction also:

Ex 11.1 Class 10 Maths Question 1.
Draw a line segment of length 7.6 cm and divide it in the ratio 5:8. Measure the two parts.
Solution:
Steps of Construction:
1. Draw a line segment AB = 7.6 cm.
2. Draw another line segment (or ray) AX at any convenient acute angle with AB.
3. Along AX, locate 13 (5 + 8) points A₁, A₂, A₃, …… , A₁₃ such that AA₁ = A₁A₂ = ……… = A₁₂A₁₃
4. Join BA₁₃.

5. At point, A₅ draw a straight line  A₅C parallel to A₁₃B making an angle equal to ∠AA₁₃B.
Thus, the point C divides the line segment AB in the ratio 5: 8.
Justification:

Ex 11.1 Class 10 Maths Question 2.
Construct a triangle of sides 4 cm, 5 cm and 6 cm and then a triangle similar to it whose sides are \(\frac { 2 }{ 3 }\) of the corresponding sides of the first triangle.
Solution:
Steps of Construction:
1. Draw AC – 6 cm (ii) With A and Cas centers and radii 4 cm.
2. 5 cm respectively draw two ares intersecting each other at B. Join BA and BC.
3. Draw a ray AY making an acute angle with AC.
4. Locate three points and Ron AY, such that AP – POQR.
5. Join CR.
6. Through o. draw a line QC’ parallel to RC (by making an angle equal to ∠ARC) meeting the line segment AC at C’.

7. Similarly, through C, draw a line B’C parallel to CB
Thus, ABC is the required triangle, which is similar to ∆ABC with scale factor \(\frac { 2 }{ 3 } \)
Justification:
By construction, we have:

Ex 11.1 Class 10 Maths Question 3.
Construct a triangle with sides 5 cm, 6 cm, and 7 cm and then another triangle whose sides are \(\frac { 7 }{ 5 }\) of the corresponding sides of the first triangle.
Solution:
Steps of Construction:
1. Construct AABC such that AB = 5 cm, BC = 6 cm and CA = 7 cm.
2. Draw a ray BX making an acute angle with BC.
3. Locate 7 points on BX such that BD = DE = EF = FG – GH – IJ.
4. Join HC.
5. Through J, draw a line JC parallel to HC, meeting produced line BC at C’.

6. Through C’, draw a line 7 parallel to CA meeting the produced line BA at A’.
Thus A∆ABC is a required triangle
Justification:
By construction, we have:

Ex 11.1 Class 10 Maths Question 4.
Construct an isosceles triangle whose base is 8 cm and altitude 4 cm and then another triangle whose sides are 1\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) times the corresponding sides of the isosceles triangle.
Solution:
Steps of Construction:
1. Construct an isosceles triangle ABC in which BC – 8 cm and altitude AD is 4 cm.
2. Draw a ray BX, making an acute angle with BC.
3. Locate 3 points on BX, such that BP – PQ = QR.
4. Join QC.
5. Through R, draw a line RC parallel to QC, meeting produced line BC at C’.
6. Through C, draw a line CA parallel to CA, meeting the produced line BA at A’.

Thus, ∆A’BC’ is the required isosceles triangle
Justification:

Ex 11.1 Class 10 Maths Question 5.
Draw a triangle ABC with side BC = 6 cm, AB = 5 cm and ∠ABC = 60°. Then construct a triangle whose sides are \(\frac { 3 }{ 4 }\) of the corresponding sides of the triangle ABC.
Solution:
Steps of Construction:
1. Construct a ABC in which BC = 6 cm, AB = 5 cm and ∠ABC = 60°.
2. Draw a ray BX making any acute angle with BC.
3. Locate 4 points B₁, B2, B₃ and B₄ on BX, such that BB₁ = B₁B₂ = B₂B₃ =B₃B₄
4. Join B₄C.
5. Through B₃ draw a line B₃C’ parallel to B₄C, intersecting the line segment BC at C’.
6.  Through C, draw a line parallel to CA, intersecting the line segment BA at A’.

Thus, ∆A’BC’ is the required triangle.
Justification:

Ex 11.1 Class 10 Maths Question 6.
Draw a triangle ABC with side BC = 7 cm, ∠B = 45°, ∠A = 105°. Then, construct a triangle whose sides are \(\frac { 4 }{ 3 }\) times the corresponding sides of ∆ABC.
Solution:
Steps of Construction:
1. Draw a line segment BC – 7 cm.
2. Draw ∠ABC = 45° and ∠ACB = 30°, i.e., ∠BAC = 105°.
3. We get ∆ABC
4. Draw a ray BX making an acute angle with BC
5. Mark four points B₁, B₂, B₃ and B₄ on BX, such that BB₁ = B₁B₂ = B₂B₃ = B₃B_4.
6.  Join B₃C.
7. Through B₄ draw a line B₄C’ parallel to B₃C, intersecting the extended line segment BC at C’.
8. Through C’, draw a line A’C’ parallel to CA, intersecting the extended line segment BA at A’.
Thus, A’BC’ is the required triangle.

Justification:

Ex 11.1 Class 10 Maths Question 7.
Draw a right triangle in which the sides (other than hypotenuse) are of lengths 4 cm and 3 cm. Then construct another triangle whose sides are \(\frac { 5 }{ 3F }\) times the corresponding sides of the given triangle.
Solution:
Steps of Construction:
1. Construct a ∆ABC, such that BC = 4 cm, CA = 3 cm and ∠BCA = 90°
2. Draw a ray BX making an acute angle with BC.
3. Mark five points B₁, B₂, B₃, B₄ and B₅ on BX, such that BB₁ = B₁B₂ = B₂B₃ = B₃B₄ = B₄B_5.
4. Join B₃C.
5. Through B₅, draw B₅C’ parallel to B₃C intersecting BC produced at C’.
6. Through C’, draw C’A’ parallel to CA intersecting AB produced at A’.
Thus, ∆A’BC’ is the required right triangle.
