While constructing one pair of intersecting arcs, is it necessary. Class 7

Question 1.

While constructing one pair of intersecting arcs, is it necessary that we use the same radii for both of them ? Explore this through construction, and then justify your answer. Class 7

Solution:

Yes, otherwise the intersecting point may not lie on the perpendicular bisector.

Question 2.

Recreate this design using only a ruler and compass —

This method of constructing the perpendicular bisector is not only geometrically exact but also a practical way to construct it accurately. Class 7

This method to find the midpoint of a line segment is more accurate than measuring the length using a marked scale.

Solution:

Do as directed
