NCERT Class 9 Maths Constructions

11.1 Introduction
In earlier chapters, the diagrams, which were necessary to prove a theorem or solving exercises were not necessarily precise. They were drawn only to give you a feeling for the situation and as an aid for proper reasoning. However, sometimes one needs an accurate figure, for example - to draw a map of a building to be constructed, to design tools, and various parts of a machine, to draw road maps etc. To draw such figures some basic geometrical instruments are needed. You must be having a geometry box which contains the following:

(i) A graduated scale, on one side of which centimetres and millimetres are marked off and on the other side inches and their parts are marked off.

(ii) A pair of set - squares, one with angles 90°, 60° and 30° and other with angles 90°, 45° and 45°.

(iii) A pair of dividers (or a divider) with adjustments.

(iv) A pair of compasses (or a compass) with provision of fitting a pencil at one end.

(v) A protractor.

Normally, all these instruments are needed in drawing a geometrical figure, such as a triangle, a circle, a quadrilateral, a polygon, etc. with given measurements. But a geometrical construction is the process of drawing a geometrical figure using only two instruments – an ungraduated ruler, also called a straight edge and a compass. In construction where measurements are also required, you may use a graduated scale and protractor also. In this chapter, some basic constructions will be considered. These will then be used to construct certain kinds of triangles.
