CHAPTER – 14 Practical Geometry

Using the ruler and compasses, thefollowing constructions canbe made: A graduated ruler, The compasses, The divider, Set-squares, The protractor This chapter dealswith methods ofdrawing geometrical shapes. We use thefollowing mathematical instruments to construct shapes: A circle, when the length of its radius is known. A line segment, if its length is given. A copy ofa line segment. A perpendicular to a linethrough a point (a) on the line (b) not on theline. The perpendicular bisector of a line segment of given length. Anangle of agiven measure. A copy ofan angle. Thebisector of a given angle. Someangles of special measures such as
