Question 8 |
Using ruler and a pair of compasses only,
(a) construct
(i) a quadrilateral PQRS with IPSI :: 6 cm, LRSP:: 90°,
IRSI = 9 ern, IQRI = 8.4 cm and IPQI :: 5.4 cm;
(ii) the bisectors of LRSP and LSPQ to meet at X;
(iii) The perpendicular XTto meet PS at T.
(b) Measure IXT/'

This question on geometrical construction was reported to be quite unpopular among the
candidates. Very few of them attempted it and their performance was said to be poor. A good
number of them measured the angles instead of constructing them. Others could not construct
a perpendicular from a given point to a given line segment. Teachers are encouraged to
emphasize this area of the syllabus
