GEOMETRICAL CONSTRUCTIONS (SHEET NO.

3)
1. Construct a pentagon of side = 70mm and inscribe five equal
circles such that each circle touches one side of the pentagon
and two other circles.

2. Construct a pentagon of side = 70mm and inscribe five equal

circles such that each circle touches two sides of the pentagon
and two other circles.

3. Construct a pentagon of side = 30mm and describe five equal

circles such that each circle touches one side of the pentagon
and two other circles.

4. Inscribe five equal circles in a circle of diameter = 100 such that

each circle touches the given circle and two other circles.

5. Inscribe a pentagon inside a circle of radius = 45mm. (using

general method)

6. Construct a pentagon and a heptagon/septagon by General

method sharing a common base = 35mm on the same side.

7. Draw a tangent to a point A on the circumference of a given

circle of radius = 25mm as shown in the figure.

8. Draw a tangent to a given circle from point A as shown in the

figure.

9. Draw an External common tangent (D.C.T.) to two equal circles

of 50mm diameter being their centres 100mm apart.

10. Draw an Internal common tangent (T.C.T.) to two equal circles

of 50mm diameter being their centres 100mm apart.
(T.C.T. = Transverse Common Tangent)
