Frequently Asked Questions
What tools are needed for geometric constructions in Class 10?
A ruler and a compass are the primary tools required for geometric constructions in Class 10, as per the NCERT syllabus. These are used to draw accurate lines, circles, and angles.
How do you divide a line segment in a given ratio?
To divide a line segment AB in the ratio m:n, draw a ray AX, mark m+n equal points on AX, join the last point to B, and draw a line parallel to this from the m-th point to intersect AB at C, dividing it in the ratio m:n.
How do you construct a tangent to a circle from an external point?
Draw a circle with center O and radius r. Mark an external point P. Join OP, find its midpoint M by constructing the perpendicular bisector. With M as center and MO as radius, draw a circle intersecting the original circle at T and T’. Lines PT and PT’ are the tangents.
What is the scale factor in similar triangle constructions?
The scale factor is the ratio of the corresponding sides of the constructed triangle to the original triangle (e.g., k = 2/3 means the new triangle’s sides are 2/3 of the original).
Why is a compass used in constructions?
A compass ensures precision in drawing arcs, circles, and equal lengths, maintaining geometric accuracy without relying on measurements alone.
