Ex 11.1 Class 9 Maths Question 1.
Construct an angle of 90° at the initial point of a given ray and justify the construction.
Solution:
Steprf of Construction:
Step I : Draw AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯.
Step II : Taking O as centre and having a suitable radius, draw a semicircle, which cuts OA¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ at B.
Step III : Keeping the radius same, divide the semicircle into three equal parts such that BC˘=CD˘=DE˘ .
Step IV : Draw OC¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ and OD¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯.
Step V : Draw OF¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯, the bisector of ∠COD.
Thus, ∠AOF = 90°
Justification:
∵ O is the centre of the semicircle and it is divided into 3 equal parts.
∴ BC˘=CD˘=DE˘
⇒ ∠BOC = ∠COD = ∠DOE [Equal chords subtend equal angles at the centre]
And, ∠BOC + ∠COD + ∠DOE = 180°
= ∠BOC + ∠BOC + ∠BOC = 180°
⇒ 3∠BOC = 180°
⇒ ∠BOC = 60°
Similarly, ∠COD = 60° and ∠DOE = 60°
∵ OF¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ is the bisector of ∠COD
∴ ∠COF = 12 ∠COD = 12 (60°) = 30°
Now, ∠BOC + ∠COF = 60° + 30°
⇒ ∠BOF = 90° or ∠AOF = 90°
Ex 11.1 Class 9 Maths Question 2.
Construct an angle of 45° at the initial point of a given ray and justify the construction.
Solution:
Steps of Construction:
Stept I : Draw OA¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯.
Step II : Taking O as centre and with a suitable radius, draw a semicircle such that it intersects OA¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯. at B.
Step III : Taking B as centre and keeping the same radius, cut the semicircle at C. Now, taking C as centre and keeping the same radius, cut the semicircle at D and similarly, cut at E, such that BC˘=CD˘=DE˘
Step IV : Draw OC¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ and OD¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯.
Step V : Draw OF¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯, the angle bisector of ∠BOC.
Step VI : Draw OG¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯, the ajngle bisector of ∠FOC.
Thus, ∠BOG = 45° or ∠AOG = 45°
Justification:
∵ BC˘=CD˘=DE˘
∴ ∠BOC = ∠COD = ∠DOE [Equal chords subtend equal angles at the centre]
Since, ∠BOC + ∠COD + ∠DOE = 180°
⇒ ∠BOC = 60°
∵ OF¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ is the bisector of ∠BOC.
∴ ∠COF = 12 ∠BOC = 12(60°) = 30° …(1)
Also, OG¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ is the bisector of ∠COF.
∠FOG = 12∠COF = 12(30°) = 15° …(2)
Adding (1) and (2), we get
∠COF + ∠FOG = 30° + 15° = 45°
⇒ ∠BOF + ∠FOG = 45° [∵ ∠COF = ∠BOF]
⇒ ∠BOG = 45°

Step V : Draw OD¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯, bisector of ∠BOC, such that ∠BOD = 12∠BOC = 12(60°) = 30°
Thus, ∠BOD = 30° or ∠AOD = 30° (ii) Angle of 22 12∘
Steps of Construction:
Step I : Draw OA¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯.
II : Construct ∠AOB = 90°
Step III : Draw OC¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯, the bisector of ∠AOB, such that

Step IV : Now, draw OD, the bisector of ∠AOC, such that
∠AOD = 12∠AOC = 12(45°) = 22 12∘
Thus, ∠AOD = 22 12∘ (iii) Angle of 15°
Steps of Construction:
Step I : Draw OA¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯.
Step II : Construct ∠AOB = 60°.
III : Draw OC, the bisector of ∠AOB, such that

i.e., ∠AOC = 30°
Step IV : Draw OD, the bisector of ∠AOC such that
∠AOD = 12∠AOC = 12(30°) = 15°
Thus, ∠AOD = 15°

III : With centre B and keeping the same radius, mark a point C on the previous arc.

Step VII: Draw OQ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯, the bisector of ∠COP, such that
∠COQ = 12∠COP = 12(30°) = 15°.
Thus, ∠BOQ = 60° + 15° = 75°∠AOQ = 75° (ii) Steps of Construction:
Step I : Draw OA¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯.
Step II : With centre O and having a suitable radius, draw an arc which cuts OA¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ at B.
