Draw a line segment of length 7.6 cm and divide it in the ratio 5:8. Measure the two parts. Give the justification of the construction.

Construct a triangle of sides 4 cm, 5cm and 6cm and then a triangle similar to it whose sides are `2/3` of the corresponding sides of the first triangle. Give the justification of the construction.

Construct a triangle with sides 5 cm, 6 cm and 7 cm and then another triangle whose sides are `7/5` of the corresponding sides of the first triangle. Give the justification of the construction.

Construct an isosceles triangle whose base is 8 cm and altitude 4 cm and then another triangle whose side are `1 1/2` times the corresponding sides of the isosceles triangle.

Give the justification of the construction

Draw a triangle ABC with side BC = 7 cm, ∠B = 45°, ∠A = 105°. Then, construct a triangle whose sides are `4/3 `times the corresponding side of ΔABC. Give the justification of the construction.

Draw a triangle ABC with BC = 7 cm, ∠B = 45° and ∠A = 105°. Then construct a triangle whose sides are`4/5` times the corresponding sides of ΔABC.

Draw a right triangle in which the sides (other than hypotenuse) are of lengths 4 cm and 3 cm. the construct another triangle whose sides are `5/3` times the corresponding sides of the given triangle. Give the justification of the construction.

Draw a circle of radius 6 cm. From a point 10 cm away from its centre, construct the pair of tangents to the circle and measure their lengths. Give the justification of the construction.

Construct a tangent to a circle of radius 4 cm from a point on the concentric circle of radius 6 cm and measure its length. Also verify the measurement by actual calculation.

Draw a circle of radius 3 cm. Take two points P and Q on one of its extended diameter each at a distance of 7 cm from its centre. Draw tangents to the circle from these two points P and Q. Give the justification of the construction.

Draw a pair of tangents to a circle of radius 5 cm which are inclined to each other an angle of 60º.

Draw a line segment AB of length 8 cm. Taking A as centre, draw a circle of radius 4 cm and taking B as centre, draw another circle of radius 3 cm. Construct tangents to each circle from the centre of the other circle.

Draw a right triangle ABC in which AB = 6 cm, BC = 8 cm and ∠B = 90°. Draw BD perpendicular from B on AC and draw a circle passing through the points B, C and D. Construct tangents from A to this circle.

Draw a circle with the help of a bangle. Take a point outside the circle. Construct the pair of tangents from this point to the circles. Give the justification of the construction.
