Important Questions on Constructions

HARD

Let ABC be a right triangle in which AB=6 cm, BC=8 cm and B=90°BD is the perpendicular from B on AC. The circle through B, C, D is drawn. Construct the tangents from A to this circle.

HARD

Take a point which is 9 cm away from the centre of a circle of radius 3 cm, and draw two tangents to the circle from that points and calculate their lengths.

HARD
Circle is given of centre O and radius 3 cm. Take a point P such that OP=7 cm. Draw tangents to the circle from point P. Write the construction steps.
EASY

Draw O, 3 cm. Construct a pair of tangents from point P at a distance of 7 cm from the centre O. Also write points of constructions.

MEDIUM
Construct the circumcircle of a ABC in which BC=6 cm, B=70° and AB=5 cm. Write steps of construction also.
HARD
Draw a circle of radius 6 cm. From a point 10 cm away from its centre, construct the pair of tangents to the circle and measure their lengths.
HARD

Draw the circle with centre C and radius 3.6 cm. Take point B which is at distance 7.2 cm from the centre. Draw tangents to the circle from point B.

MEDIUM
Draw a circle of radius 3 cm. Construct a tangent to the circle at a point Q on the circle.
MEDIUM
Construct a circumcircle of ABC, where AB=6 cmA=45° and B=60°.Write the steps of construction.
HARD
Using a ruler and compass only, construct a circle of radius 3.5 cm and also construct two tangents from a point P outside the circle at a distance of 6 cm from its centre.
MEDIUM
Draw a circle of radius 4cm, and construct a pair of tangents to the circle, such that the angle between the tangents is 60°.
HARD
Using ruler and compass only, construct a ABC such that BC=5 cm, AB=6.5 cm and ABC=120°. Construct a circumcircle ofABC.
EASY
Construct a direct common tangent of two circles of radii 4 cm and 2 cm whose centres are 9 cm apart. Measure and write the length of the tangent.
MEDIUM

Draw a circle of radius 4 cm and construct a pair of tangents such that the angle between them is 60°.

MEDIUM
Draw a circle of radius 5 cm. From a point 8 cm away from its centre, construct the pair of tangents to the circle.
HARD
Draw a triangle ABC of which BC=7 cm, AB=5 cm and AC=6 cm. Then draw the circumcircle of ABC.
MEDIUM
Draw a circle of radius 3 cm. Take a point outside the circle. Construct the pair of tangents from this point to the circle.
MEDIUM

Construct a circumcircle of ABC, where AB=8 cm, BC=5 cm and ABC = 60° degree. Write the steps of construction.

MEDIUM

Use ruler and compass only for answering the question.

Draw a circle of radius 4 cm. Mark the centre as O. Mark a point P outside the circle at a distance of 7 cm from the centre. Construct two tangents to the circle from the external point P.

Measure and write down the length of any one tangent.

MEDIUM

Draw a line segment AB of length 7 cm. Taking A as centre, draw a circle of radius 3 cm and taking B as centre, draw another circle of radius 2 cm. Construct tangents to each circle from the centre of the other circle.
