Geometry Constructions Guide

This document discusses geometric constructions in chapter 11. It defines a construction as drawing shapes, angles or lines accurately using only a compass, straightedge, and pencil without numbers. Constructions should be neat, clean, and to scale. Steps should only be provided for questions that specify them. Examples of constructions include drawing the perpendicular bisector of a chord to find a circle's center, and showing that tangents from an external point to a circle are equal.

Key Notes

Chapter-11

Constructions

• "Construction" in Geometry means to draw shapes, angles or lines accurately.


These constructions use only compass, straightedge (i.e. ruler) and a pencil. This is the "pure"
form of geometric construction: no numbers involved.

• Construction should be neat and clean and as per scale given in question.

• Steps of construction should be provided only to those questions where it is mentioned.

• Used of Construction:

(i) The perpendicular bisector of a chord of a circle passes through its center.

(ii) Tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal.

(iii) The angle which tangent makes with a chord of a circle is equal to the angle in its
alternate segment.

(iv) Angles in the same segment are equal.

(v) The tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the line joining the center and the point of
contact.
