SECTION B

Answer number 5 and any other three (3) questions

1. An ellipse has a major axis 120 long and its foci are 80 apart
(a) i. Construct the ellipse
ii. Measure and state the length of the minor axis
(b) Draw a tangent and normal to the curve at a point P above the major axis and 35 to
the minor axis.

2. (a) Construct a diagonal scale of 5cm to 1m to read a maximum of 5m and a minimum

of 1cm
(b) Label the scale constructed in 3 (a) and indicate a length of 2m 65cm
(c) i. Use the scale to construct a hexagon of 2.65m across corners
ii. Measure the side of the hexagon

3. The figure above shows crank OQ which rotates in clockwise direction. The rod PQ is
connected to the crank at Q and slides through the slot R.

Plot full size the locus of point P when the crank makes one revolution

4. Plot the locus of a point P on the circumference of a circle diameter 60 rolling along a
straight line without slipping. Construct a tangent and a normal to the locus of a point 50
from the right end of the locus.
