To represent shapes on a paper we need to draw them accurately with the help of tools like rulers, protractors or compasses. The simplest construction is that of a line. Geometrical Construction Definition Geometrical construction means drawing lines, line segments, shapes, circles and other figures accurately using a ruler, a compass, or a protractor. Most of the geometrical figures involve drawing a line segment, drawing parallel and perpendicular lines, perpendicular bisectors, circles, and even drawing tangents to circles. Geometrical construction 1 is very crucial in producing quality output in terms in bisecting, trisecting, perpendicular lines, parallel lines, triangles, square and regular polygons are part /element of most common objects. To be truly proficient in the layout of both simple and complex drawing, the student must know and full understand the many geometrical construction method used. Geometrical Entities are as follows: 1. Point: A point describes a position or a location. There is no specific size for a point. A point is represented in technical drawing as a small cross made of dashes that are approximately 3 mm long. 2. Line: A line is a figure with only length and no width. It extends infinitely in both directions. A geometric primitive that has length and direction, but no thickness. It may be straight, curved or a combination of these. Lines also have important relationship or conditions, such as parallel, intersecting, and tangent Straight line - a progression of points where considered as the shortest distance from one point to another Horizontal line - a line along the point of position to 0° Vertical line - a line projected at 90° from the base or horizon Diagonal line - an inclined line (oblique) directed to either left or right Curved line - a progression of points without definite direction of flow Perpendicular line - two line that intersect at 90° with each other Parallel line - two lines that never intersect thru infinity 3. Arc: A curved part is generally described as an arc. Arc is also a part of the circle. A geometrical entity where contains progression of points with equal distance from a common vertex. Minor arc - an arc with angle less than 180° Quarter arc - an arc equal to 90° Major arc - an arc with angles more than 180° but less than 360° Semi-circle - an arc equal to 180° 4. Angle - a geometrical entity where two lines radiating from a common vertex to different direction. Acute angle - an angle that measures more than 0° and not more than 90° Obtuse angle - an angle that measures more than 90° but less than 180° Straight angle - an angle that measures exactly 180°, the lines form a straight line Reflex angle - an angle measures more than 180° but less than 360° Complimentary angle - these are two angle with a sum of 90° Supplementary angle - these are two angles with a sum of 180° Conjugate angle - these are two angles with a sum of 360° Geometrical Planes 1. Triangle - three sided plane figure where the sum of the internal angles of any flat triangle is always 180°. Equilateral triangle - all sides and angles are equal Isosceles triangle - two side equal in length & two angles equal as well Scalene triangle - all side in different length & has unequal angles Right-angle triangle - a triangle which contains one angle of 90° Acute-angle triangle - a triangle which contains three acute angles Obtuse-angle triangle - a triangle which contains one angle over 90° Isosceles-right triangle - a triangle which contains one angle at 90° & two of its side equal in length and angles 2. Quadrilateral - is a four sided plane figure Square - all the sides at the same length & all angles at 90° Rectangular - opposite sides parallel and all the angles at 90° Rhombus - all sides equal but no angles equal to 90° Parallelogram (rhomboid) - has opposite sides parallel to each other but no angles 90° Trapezoid - one of the opposite side parallel Trapezium - no edge parallel and no sides equal 3. Circle - a plane bounded by close progression of points having equal distance from a common vertex called center point. Circumference - Circumference is the distance around the outside of a circle. Another way of describing it is the perimeter of a circle. Chord - A chord is a straight line that joins two points on the circumference. these two points can be anywhere on the circumference. Diameter - A diameter is a chord that passes through the centre point of the circle. A diameter is the longest possible chord you can draw in the circle. Radius - A radius is a line joining the centre of the circle to a point on the circumference. You maybe often see it shortened in drawings to the letter 'R'. For example R50 meaning a radius of 50mm. The plural of radius is radii. Arc - An arc can be any part of the circumference. Quadrant - A quadrant is a quarter of a full circle. Sector - A sector is the area of a circle enclosed by two radii and an arc. A quadrant is also a form of sector. An easy way to remember what a sector is, that it looks like slices of pizza. Segment - A segment is the area of the circle enclosed by a chord and an arc. An easy way to remember what a segment is, that it takes the shape of an orange segment. Radius - A semi-circle is exactly half of a circle. A semi-circle has to contain the diameter of that circle. 4. Ellipse - is created by a point moving along a path where the sum of its distances from two points, each called a focus of an ellipse (foci is the plural form), is equal to the major diameter. 5. Regular Polygon - a plane figure which the length of the sides are equal and are perpendicular to the center of the circle Triangle - three sided polygon, with equal internal angles of 60° with a sum of 180° Square - a four-sided polygon, equal internal angles of 90° with a sum of 360° Pentagon - five-sided polygon with an equal internal angle of 108° & a sum of 540° Hexagon - six-sided polygon with an equal internal angle of 120° & a sum of 720° Heptagon - seven-sided polygon with an equal internal angle of 128.6° & a sum of 900° Octagon - eight-sided polygon with an equal internal angle of 135° & a sum of 1080° Nonagon - nine-sided polygon with an equal internal angle of 140° & a sum of 1260° Decagon - ten-sided polygon with an equal internal angle of 144° & a sum of 1440° Hendecagon - eleven-sided polygon with an equal internal angle of 147.3°& a sum of 1620° Dodecagon - twelve-sided polygon with an equal internal angle of 150° & a sum of 1800° Geometrical Solids - a figure which contains volume and are representations of real world objects. A 3 dimensional, they have length, width, & depth. A. Primitives - the basic solids widely used in creating and representing of elementary forms of common object. Cube - has six equal faces, each of which is a square Prism - any polygon/closed entities (other than circle or ellipse) extruded to a certain thickness.

Maybe a Prolate or an Oblate  Methods of Geometrical Construction 1. Bisecting - to bisect means to divide an entity into 2 equal partitions.

Along this line use the compass to mark off 3 passing through the endpoint of the line segment arbitrary but equal lengths such that AC = CD = DE. and it will serve as the perpendicular line. Draw line EB. From D construct a line parallel to EB to intersect AB at G (perfectly feasible using straightedge and compass). Similarly, from C construct a line parallel to EB to intersect AB at F. Thus AB is divided into 3 equal sections AF, FG and GB. b. Dropping of perpendicular line. 4.
