PSEB Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 4 Practical Geometry Ex 4.5
Draw the following.
Question 1.
The square READ with RE = 5.1 cm.
Solution:
Steps of construction :
- Draw a line segment RE = 5.1 cm.
- At E, draw \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{EM}}\), such that ∠REM = 90°.
- With E as centre and radius =5.1 cm, draw an arc intersecting \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{EM}}\) at A.
- With R as centre and radius = 5.1 cm, draw an arc.
- With A as centre and radius = 5.1 cm, draw an arc which intersect the previous arc at D.
- Draw \(\overline{\mathrm{RD}}\) and \(\overline{\mathrm{AD}}\).
Thus, READ is the required square.
Question 2.
A rhombus whose diagonals are 5.2 cm and 6.4 cm long.
Solution:
[Note : The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angle.]
Here, in rhombus XYZW, YW 6.4 cm.
∴ OW = OY = 3.2 cm
Steps of construction:
- Draw a line segment XZ = 5.2 cm.
- Draw \(\overleftrightarrow{\mathrm{AB}}\), the perpendicular bisector of \(\overline{\mathrm{XZ}}\), which intersect \(\overline{\mathrm{XZ}}\) at O.
- With O as centre and radius = 3.2 cm, draw an arc intersecting \(\overleftrightarrow{\mathrm{AB}}\) above \(\overline{\mathrm{XZ}}\) at W.
- With O as centre and radius = 3.2 cm, draw another arc which intersects \(\overleftrightarrow{\mathrm{AB}}\) below \(\overline{\mathrm{XZ}}\) at Y.
- Draw \(\overline{\mathrm{XY}}\), \(\overline{\mathrm{YZ}}\), \(\overline{\mathrm{ZW}}\) and \(\overline{\mathrm{XW}}\).
Thus, XYZW is the required rhombus.
Question 3.
A rectangle with adjacent sides of lengths 5 cm and 4 cm.
Solution:
[Note: Each angle of a rectangle is a right angle.]
Steps of construction :
- Draw a line segment AB = 5 cm.
- At A, draw \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{AX}}\), such that ∠XAB = 90°.
- With A as centre and radius = 4 cm, draw an arc intersecting \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{AX}}\) at D.
- With B as centre and radius = 4 cm, draw an arc.
- With D as centre and radius = 5 cm, draw an arc which intersects the previous arc at C.
- Draw \(\overline{\mathrm{BC}}\) and \(\overline{\mathrm{CD}}\).
Thus, ABCD is the required rectangle.
Question 4.
A parallelogram OKAY where OK = 5.5 cm and KA = 4.2 cm. Is it unique ?
Solution:
A parallelogram cannot be constructed as sufficient measurements are not given. It is not unique as angles may vary in parallelogram drawn by given measurements.
