Practice Questions
Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Using a compass, construct the bisector of an angle measuring approximately 50°. Record the steps you used.
[3 marks]2.
Construct an equilateral triangle with side length 6 cm on the grid. Show your construction process.
[3 marks]3.
Construct the bisector of a given angle in a medical device calibration context, where precise angle division is essential.
[4 marks]4.
Plot a circle with radius 4 cm centered at a point representing a medical sensor, then construct the bisector of the angle formed by two intersecting circles.
[3 marks]5.
Construct the bisector of an angle that is approximately 70°, used in designing a medical infusion device to ensure correct flow angles.
[2 marks]6.
In a scenario where a nurse needs to split a 90° angle into two equal parts for an injection angle, demonstrate the compass steps.
[4 marks]7.
Construct an inscribed angle in a circle with radius 5 cm, and then construct its bisector.
[3 marks]8.
A medical device requires two angles to be bisected precisely for proper fitting. Construct these angles with the given approximate measurements and bisectors.
[3 marks]9.
Construct a triangle with sides of 7 cm, 5 cm, and 8 cm. Then, bisect the largest angle.
[4 marks]10.
Describe a common mistake when constructing an angle bisector with a compass and how to avoid it.
[2 marks]11.
Construct a pair of intersecting circles with radii 3 cm and 4 cm, then construct the angle bisector of the angle formed at their intersection point. Explain your steps.
