               CH: 8-PLAYING WITH CONSTRUCTIONS


               SUBTOPIC: CONSTRUCTING SQUARES AND RECTANGLES
               1. When drawing a rectangle, which of the following is true about its diagonals?
               (a) They are always parallel.       (b) They bisect each other at 90°.
               (c) They are equal in length.       (d) None of the above.
                2.To draw a square with a side of length 6 cm using a compass and a ruler, what is the first
               step?
               (a) Draw one side of the square                          (b) Draw a diagonal
               (c) Measure a 6 cm length on the compass       (d) Draw a perpendicular bisector
               3.If you want to find a point that is equidistant from two given points, which geometrical
               instrument would you use?
               (a) Ruler      (b) Compass     (c) Protractor     (d) Set squares
               4. Assertion (A) All squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares.
                   Reason (R) A square has four right angles and all sides equal while a rectangle has only
               opposite sides equal.
               (a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
               (b) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
               (c) A is true, but R is false       (d) A is false, but R is true
               5.When drawing a rectangle, which of the following is true about its diagonals?
               (a) They are always parallel.       (b) They bisect each other at 90°.
               (c) They are equal in length.       (d) None of the above
               5.Draw a rectangle of sides 2 cm and 10 cm.  After drawing, check if it  satisfies both the
               rectangle properties.
               6. Construct a rectangle of sides 3 cm and 9 cm. Construct a square inside, such that the
               centre of the square is the same as the centre of the rectangle.
               Answers.
