Geometric Construction

OBJECTIVES:
The students are expected to:
 Layout two dimensional geometric shapes
 Perform basic geometric constructions

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Perform the exercises in geometric construction.
2. Use a pencil and do not erase the construction lines.
3. Use 1.0 or 0.8 tech pen for object lines.

Problem 1

Draw an inclined line AB 65 mm long, and 350 from the horizontal and bisect
it.
 34

Problem 2

Draw an angle with vertex at C. Bisect it and transform one half to a new
position at D.
 35

Problem 3

Draw an inclined line EF and assume distance GH= 42 mm. Draw a line
parallel to EF and at the distance GH from it.
 36

Problem 4

Draw the line JK 95 mm long and divide it into five equal parts. Draw a line
LM 68 mm long and divide it into five equal parts. Draw a line OP 78 mm long and
divide it into three equal parts by the parallel-line method.
 37

Problem 5

Draw a line OP 92 mm long and divide it into three proportional parts to in

the ratio 3:5:9
 38

Problem 6

Draw a line 107 mm long and divide it into parts proportional to the square
of x, where x = 1, 2, 3 and 4.

Problem 7

Draw a triangle with sides of 76 mm, 85 mm and 65 mm. Bisect the three
interior angles. The bisectors should meet at a point. Draw the inscribed circle with
the point as center.

Problem 8

Draw a right triangle having a hypotenuse 65 mm and one leg 40 mm,

and draw a circle through the three vertexes.
 41

Problem 9

Draw an inclined QR 84 mm long. Select a point P on the line 32 mm from

Q, and erect a perpendicular. Assume a point S 45.5 mm from the line, and erect
a perpendicular from S to the line.

Problem 10

Draw a 54-mm diameter-circle (lightly), inscribe a square in a circle and

circumscribe a square on the circle.

Problem 11

Draw a 65 mm diameter circle (lightly). Find the vertexes of a regular

inscribed pentagon, and join the vertexes to form a five- pointed star.

Problem 12

Draw a 65 mm diameter circle (lightly). Inscribe a hexagon. And

circumscribe a hexagon.

Problem 14

Draw an equilateral triangle, given one of the sides is 65 mm.

Problem 20

Draw a regular octagon given square with sides equals to 57.5 mm.
