Why is it important to use intersecting arcs when bisecting a straight line or constructing perpendicular lines?
- They ensure that the resulting line is exactly parallel to the original line.
- They create a decorative pattern that enhances the aesthetic appeal of the construction.
- They visually confirm the halfway point of the line, eliminating the need for measurement.
- The intersection points define two equidistant points from the line's endpoints, ensuring accuracy in bisection or perpendicularity. (correct)

Study Notes
- This topic covers the construction of geometrical figures commonly used in engineering designs and drawings, including circles, pentagons, hexagons, line bisection, perpendicular lines, line division, angles, and triangles.
Circle
- A circle consists of all points equidistant from a central point.
- The radius is the distance from any point on the circle to the center.
- Circles have existed since the beginning of recorded history, with natural examples being the full moon and round fruit slices.
- Circles form the basis of the wheel and related inventions like gears, enabling modern machinery.
- A segment is the area between a chord and its arc.
- A quadrant is a quarter of a circle formed by two perpendicular radii.
- A sector is the area enclosed by two radii and their intercepted arc.
Pentagon
- To draw a regular pentagon with a given side length:
- Draw a line AB equal to the given side length.
- Bisect AB.
- From B, draw a 45° angle intersecting the bisector at point 4.
Hexagon
- Steps to construct a regular hexagon given side AB:
- Steps 1 to 3 same as pentagon construction.
- Join B-3, B-4, B-5.
- Produce lines from step above.
- With center 2 and radius AB, intersect line B-3 to get D, and similarly find E and F.
- Join 2-D, D-E, E-F, and F-A to complete the hexagon.
Bisecting a Straight Line and Perpendicular Lines
- To bisect a given angle AOB:
- With center O, draw an arc cutting OA at C and OB at D.
- With centers C and D, draw arcs of equal radii intersecting at E.
- Line OE bisects angle AOB.
- To bisect a straight line AB:
- With A and B as centers, strike intersecting arcs using a radius greater than half of AB.
- A straight line through the intersection points C and D bisects AB.
- Steps to draw perpendicular lines:
- Draw line HJ 70mm long and mark point K 30mm from J.
- With compass at K, draw arcs across HJ to get points M and N.
- With compass at M and N, draw crossing arcs at L.
- Draw line KL, which is perpendicular to HJ.
Dividing a Straight Line into Equal Parts
- To divide a straight line AB into 5 equal parts:
- Draw line AC at any angle to AB.
- Construct 5 equal parts of convenient length on AC (1, 2, 3, 4, 5).
- Join point 5 to B.
- Draw lines parallel to 5B through points 4, 3, 2, and 1 to intersect AB at 4', 3', 2', and 1'.
Angles
- An angle is formed when two straight lines meet, and is measured in degrees (°).
- A circle contains 360°.
- Angles are drawn and measured using a protractor.
Construction of Triangles
- A triangle is a closed geometric figure with three sides and three angles.
- To construct triangle NOP:
- Draw NO 90mm long.
- Draw angle NOP.
- Set compass to 110mm, center at N, strike an arc across the angle line to get point P.
- Join NP to complete the triangle.
