NCERT Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 4 Exercise 4.2 – Practical Geometry
1. Construct the following quadrilaterals
i. Quadrilateral LIFT
LI = 4 cm
IF = 3 cm
TL = 2.5 cm
LF = 4.5 cm
IT = 4 cm
Solution:
Steps of construction
- Step 1. Draw the side LI = 4 cm
- Step 2. With L as centre and radius 2.5 cm (= LT), draw an arc on one side of LI
- Step 3. With I as centre and radius 4 cm (= IT), draw an arc intersecting the previous arc at point T
- Step 4. With L as centre and radius 4.5 cm (= LF), draw an arc on same side of LI
- Step 5. With I as centre and radius 3 cm (= IF), draw an arc intersecting the previous arc at point F
- Step 6. Join LT, TF and FI
LIFT is the required quadrilateral.
ii. Quadrilateral GOLD
OL = 7.5 cm
GL = 6 cm
GD = 6 cm
LD = 6 cm
OD = 10 cm
Solution:
Steps of construction
- Step 1. Draw the side LD = 6 cm
- Step 2. With L as centre and radius 6 cm (= GL), draw an arc on one side of LD
- Step 3. With D as centre and radius 6 cm (= GD), draw an arc intersecting the previous arc at point G
- Step 4. With L as centre and radius 7.5 cm (= OL), draw an arc on same side of LD
- Step 5. With D as centre and radius 10 cm (= OD), draw an arc intersecting the previous arc at point O
- Step 6. Join GD, OG and OL
GOLD is the required quadrilateral.
iii. Rhombus BEND
BN = 5.6 cm
DE = 6.5 cm
Solution:
Steps of construction
- Step 1. Draw the diagonal DE = 6.5 cm
- Step 2. Draw a perpendicular bisector of DE intersecting it at O
- Step 3. With O as centre and radius 2.8 cm (=
), draw an arc intersecting the perpendicular bisector at B and N
- Step 4. Join BE, EN, ND and DB
BEND is the required rhombus.
