NCERT Solutions for Class 6 Maths Chapter 14 Practical Geometry Ex 14.6

Question 1.
Draw ZPOQ of measure 75° and find its line of symmetry.
Solution:
Steps of Construction:

1. Draw a ray OP.
2. Draw ∠POR = 60° and ∠POS = 90°.

Question 2.
Draw an angle of measure 147° and construct its bisector.
Solution:
Steps of Construction:

1. Draw a ray OA.
2. Place the protractor on OA such that its centre falls on the initial point O and 0 -180 line lies along OA.
   
3. Mark a point B on the paper against the mark of 147° on the protractor.
4. Remove the protractor and draw OB. Then, the ∠AOB so obtained is the required angle such that ZAOB = 147°.

To construct its bisector:

1. With centre O and a convenient radius draw an arc cutting sides OA and OB at P and Q respectively.
2. With centre P and radius > PQ, draw an arc.
3. With centre Q and the same radius, as in the previous step, draw another arc intersecting the arc drawn in the previous step at R.
4. Join OR and produce it to form ray OC.
   Then, the ∠AOC so obtained is the bisector of ∠AOB.

Draw a right angle and construct its bisector.
Solution:
Steps of Construction:
To draw an angle of 90°:

1. Draw a ray OA.
2. With O as centre and any convenient radius, draw an arc cutting at P.
3. With P as centre and same radius, draw an arc cutting the arc of step 2 at Q.
4. With Q as centre and the same radius as in steps 2 and 3, draw an arc cutting the arc drawn in step 3 at R.
5. With Q as centre and the same radius, draw an arc.
6. With R as centre and the same radius, draw an arc cutting the arc drawn in step 5 at B.

To draw its bisector:

1. With P as centre and radius > PT, draw an arc in the interior of ∠AOC.
2. With T as centre and the same radius, an in step 1, draw another arc intersecting the arc in step 1 at D.
3. Join OD and produce it to any point E.
   Then, ∠AOE so obtained is the bisector of ∠AOC.

Question 4.
Draw an angle of measure 153° and divide it into four equal parts.
Solution:
Steps of Construction:

1. With the help of the protractor, draw ∠AOB = 153°.
2. With centre O and any convenient radius, draw an arc cutting OA and OB at P and Q respectively.
3. With centre P and radius > PQ, draw an arc in the interior of ∠AOB.
4. With centre Q and the same radius, as in step 3, draw another arc intersecting the arc in step 3 at B₁.
5. Join OB₁ and produce it to any point C.
   Then, ∠AOC = x ∠AOB i.e., bisector of ∠AOB.
6. Draw OD, the bisector of ∠AOC. Then ∠AOD = ∠DOC.
7. Draw OE, the bisector of ∠COB. Then, ∠COE = ∠COB.
   Combining these results, we have
   ∠AOD = ∠DOC = ∠COE = ∠EOB.
   Thus, ∠AOB is divided into four equal parts by the rays OD,OC and OE.
