Question

2. Use a compass and a ruler to draw lines AB and
PQ which intersect at right angles to each other at a
point X.​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Draw base BC of length 6.5 cm. Make an angle of 60

∘

from B.

2. Mark an arc of radius 5 cm from B on the 60

∘

angle created and name it as A. Join A−C. △ABC is the required triangle.

3. Draw a circle with centre as A and radius 3.5 cm. This is the locus of the points equidistant from A at a distance of 3.5 cm.

4. Draw the angle bisector of ∠ACB which will be the locus of points equidistant from AC and BC,

5. Measure the length of XY which comes out to be 5 cm.
