Question

In the given figure, PR is the perpendicular bisector of line segment AB =16 cm. Is PA = PB? Justify.

Answer 1

Answer:

Mathematics NCERT Grade 10, Chapter 11: Constructions- The chapter starts by giving a short introduction. The first construction taught here is division of a line segment. In this section how a line segment can be divided into the given ratio is explained. Next we study how to construct a triangle similar to the given triangle as per the given scale factor.

Given steps help in understanding the construction in a better and effective manner. The steps of construction are followed by justification which give an insight into the logic used behind the construction and thus help in understanding why the construction is justified.

Exercise 11.1 contains 7 questions all are related to construction and drawing the given object strictly following the points given in the question. In these questions, students have to give the proper justification of the construction also.

The next exercise is related to the construction of tangents to a circle. How to construct the tangents to a circle from a point outside it is explained.

Exercise 11.2 also contains different questions related to constructions. Problems related

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

PR is perpendicular bisector of line AB

PR is perpendicular bisector of line ABAB =16cm

PR is perpendicular bisector of line ABAB =16cmPA=½/16

PR is perpendicular bisector of line ABAB =16cmPA=½/16=8cm

PR is perpendicular bisector of line ABAB =16cmPA=½/16=8cmPA=PB=8cm
