Chapter - 14 Practical Geometry

This chapter discusses methods for drawing geometric shapes using mathematical instruments like rulers, compasses, dividers, and protractors. It explains how to construct specific shapes such as circles, lines, angles, and angle bisectors using a ruler and compass. The chapter also lists common angle measures that can be drawn, such as 90, 45, 60, 30, 120, and 135 degrees.

CHAPTER 14

PRACTICAL GEOMETRY

This chapter deals with methods of drawing geometrical shapes.


We use the following mathematical instruments to construct shapes:
(i) A graduated ruler
(ii) The compasses
(iii) The divider
(iv) Set-squares
(v) The protractor
Using the ruler and compasses, the following constructions can be made:
(i) A circle, when the length of its radius is known.
(ii) A line segment, if its length is given.
(iii) A copy of a line segment.
(iv) A perpendicular to a line through a point
on the line
not on the line.
(v) The perpendicular bisector of a line segment of given length.
(vi) An angle of a given measure.
(vii) A copy of an angle.
(viii) The bisector of a given angle.
(ix) Some angles of special measures such as
(a) 90
(b) 45
(c) 60
(d) 30
(e) 120
(f ) 135
