1. Construct an angle of 90° at the initial point of a given ray and justify the construction.
Construction Procedure:
To construct an angle 90°, follow the given steps:
  1. Draw a ray OA
  2. Take O as a centre with any radius, draw an arc DCB is that cuts OA at B.
  3. With B as a centre with the same radius, mark a point C on the arc DCB.
  4. With C as a centre and the same radius, mark a point D on the arc DCB.
  5. Take C and D as centre, draw two arcs which intersect each other with the same radius at P.
  6. Finally, the ray OP is joined which makes an angle 90° with OP is formed.

ncert solutions for class 9 maths chapter 11 fig 2
From the construction, it is observed that
OB= BC = OC
Therefore OBC is an equilateral triangle
So that, ∠BOC = 60°.
Similarly,
OD= DC = OC
Therefore DOC is an equilateral triangle
So that, ∠DOC = 60°.
From SSS triangle congruence rule
△OBC ≅ OCD
∠BOC= ∠DOC
Therefore, ∠COP = ½ ∠DOC = ½ (60°).
∠COP = 30°
To find the ∠POA = 90°:
∠POA =∠BOC+ ∠COP
∠POA = 60° +30°
∠POA =90°
Hence, justified.
2. Construct an angle of 45° at the initial point of a given ray and justify the construction.
Construction Procedure:
  1. Draw a ray OA
  2. Take O as a centre with any radius, draw an arc DCB is that cuts OA at B.
  3. With B as a centre with the same radius, mark a point C on the arc DCB.
  4. With C as a centre and the same radius, mark a point D on the arc DCB.
  5. Take C and D as centre, draw two arcs which intersect each other with the same radius at P.
  6. Finally, the ray OP is joined which makes an angle 90° with OP is formed.
  7. Take B and Q as centre draw the perpendicular bisector which intersects at the point R
  8. Draw a line that joins the point O and R
  9. So, the angle formed ∠ROA = 45°
ncert solutions for class 9 maths chapter 11 fig 3
Justification
From the construction,
∠POA = 90°
From the perpendicular bisector from the point B and Q, which divides the ∠POA into two halves. So it becomes
∠ROA = 1/2 ∠POA
∠ROA = 1/2×90° = 45°
Hence, justified

(ii) 22 1/2°
Construction Procedure:
  1. Draw an angle ∠POA = 90°

  3. Now, draw the bisector from the point B and Q where it intersect at the point R such that it makes an angle ∠ROA = 45°.
  4. Again, ∠ROA is bisected such that ∠TOA is formed which makes an angle of 22.5° with OA

(iii) 15°
Construction Procedure:
  1. An angle ∠DOA = 60° is drawn.
  2. Take O as centre with any radius, draw an arc BC which cuts OA at B and OD at C

5. Construct an equilateral triangle, given its side and justify the construction.
Construction Procedure:
  1. Let draw a line segment AB=4 cm .
  2. With A and B as centres, draw two arcs on the line segment AB and note the point as D and E.
  3. With D and E as centres, draw the arcs that cuts the previous arc respectively that forms an angle of 60° each.
  4. Now, draw the lines from A and B that are extended to meet each other at the point C.
  5. Therefore, ABC is the required triangle.
ncert solutions for class 9 maths chapter 11 fig 10
Justification:
From construction, it is observed that
AB = 4 cm, ∠A = 60° and ∠B = 60°
We know that, the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is equal to 180°
∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
SuBstitute the values
⇒ 60° + 60° + ∠C = 180°
⇒ 120° + ∠C = 180°
⇒ ∠C = 60°
While measuring the sides, we get
BC = CA = 4 cm (Sides opposite to equal angles are equal)
AB = BC = CA = 4 cm
∠A = ∠B = ∠C = 60°
Hence, justified.
