Question 1 [10 marks]

Redraw the figure shown below.

Solution

Draw O2O3 = 60 mm. Mark O1 at the midpoint of O2O3. With O1 as center and radii = 15 mm and 45
mm, draw two circles. Locate O4 and O5 at the intersection of the smaller circle and O2O3. With O2 and
O3 as the centers and radius = 15 mm, draw two semicircles. With O4 and O5 as the centers and radius
= 30 mm, draw two semicircles.
