NCERT Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 11 Constructions

NCERT Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 11 Constructions-

In this chapter, we deal with problems constructions. Construction is a part of Geometry. Geometry holds 15 marks in the final exams and construction is one of the scoring chapters of geometry unit. In the previous year exam, one question of 4 marks were asked from constructions. In this chapter, there are 2 exercises with 14 questions. The NCERT Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 11 Constructions are prepared and solved by our maths experts. These NCERT solutions are the detailed explanation of questions of NCERT textbook of class 10 and these solutions help students in their preparation of CBSE Class 10 Board exam.

In class 9, we have done certain calculations and constructions using a compass and a straight edge (ruler), for example, construction of triangles, drawing the perpendicular bisector of a line segment and much more and also gave their justifications. In NCERT Class 10 Maths Chapter 11 Constructions we will study some more constructions by using class 9 concepts of the constructions. This chapter is about the construction of a line segment and a circle, division of a line segment and constructions of tangents to a circle using an analytical approach. Also, students have to provide justification for each answer. There is a total of 2 exercises in this chapter. In exercise 11.1, we will study how to divide a line segment and in exercise 11.2 we will study the construction of tangents to a circle.

The following constructions that we are going to learn in NCERT Class 10 Maths Chapter 11 Constructions:

1. To divide a line segment in the given ratio.
2. To construct a pair of tangents from an external point to a circle.
3. To construct a triangle similar to a given triangle as per a given scale factor which may be greater than   1 or less than 1.
 Construction: To construct the tangents to a circle from a point outside it. Assume a circle with centre O and a point P outside it and we have to construct the two tangents from point P to the circle.                                                     Steps  of  Construction: 1. Join PO and bisect it. Let M is the mid-point of PO. 2. Taking M as a centre and MO as radius, draw a circle. Let it intersect the given circle at the points Q and R. 3. Join PR and PQ. Then PR and PQ are the required two tangents.
