Topic:Polygons and irregular figures

Image From EcoleBooks.comContent:

(i) Meaning and types of polygon.

(ii) Construction of polygons.

Meaning and types of polygon

Polygons could be defined as plane figures whose interior and exterior angles add up to

[(n – 2) x 180]0 and [4 right angles ]0 respectively. ( n is the number of sides of the polygon). Polygons could either be regular or irregular. Regular polygons have equal sides and angles. Examples include equilateral triangle, square, etc. Irregular polygons do not have all the sides and angles equal. An example of irregular polygon is re-entrant polygon which has one of its interior angles greater than 1800. See diagrams below for further illustration.

Polygons are named based on the number of sides they have. A polygon with three sides is called triangle, four sides is quadrilateral, pentagon 5, hexagon 6, heptagon 7, octagon 8, nonagon 9 and decagon 10 sides. These could either be regular or irregular.

Evaluation Questions

 

1. Define a polygon. Give examples.

2. With the aid of suitable diagrams, state three types of polygon.

 

Construction of polygons.

There are two methods of constructing polygons and these include (i) Exterior angle method. (ii) Circumscribing circle method. In the external angle method, the number of sides, N of the required polygon is used to divide 3600 in order to determine the exterior angle to which that particular polygon is to be drawn. For instance, a regular pentagon with 5 sides will have its sides drawn to an exterior angle of 720

Similarly, a regular hexagon with six sides will have its exterior angle drawn at 600, heptagon 520, octagon 450, nonagon 400 etc.

The circumscribing circle method has the polygon enclosed in a circle of known diameter.

Topic: Plain scales and their uses

Image From EcoleBooks.comContent:

(i) Meaning of plane scale.

(ii) Construction of plane scales.

Meaning of plane scale

A scale is used to measure or lay out a line on a drawing in full size, or larger or smaller than full size. The term scale also refers to the ratio of the size of a drawing to the actual object. This ratio or fraction is called the Representative Fraction of a scale.

Representative fraction (RF) = distance or size drawn

distance or size represented

The representative fractions of the most commonly used scales are as follows:

1:1{full size}

1:2{half full size}

1:5{one-fifth full size}

1:10{one-tenth full size}

2:1{twice full size}

5:1{five times full size}

The most commonly used scales are plain and diagonalscxles

Plain scale: A plain scale has two units of measurement. They are metres and decimetres. Scales such as 1:2, 1:5, and 1:100 can be used direct from a standard scale rule. Other scales, for example, 1:21/2, would need to be constructed

 

 

Evaluation Questions

Image From EcoleBooks.com1. Define representative fraction.

2. What is a plain scale?

Construction of plain scale.

To construct a plain scale of 1: 21/2 to show a maximum of 400mm and a minimum of 10mm.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Method:

Image From EcoleBooks.com (i) Workout the total or maximum length of the scale. 1: 21/2 x 400mm = 160mm

(ii) Draw a line 160mm long and divide it into four (4) equal parts of 40mm units each. (iii) The height of the scale can be any convenient height.

(iv) Divide the first part (40mm) into 10 equal parts.

(v) Print the scale ratio and number the divisions.

Note: the scale is used by taking hundreds to the right of zero and tens to the left. It is best to use

dividers to mark sizes from the scale. The values of X and Y are respectively 280mm and 130mm.

 

To construct a scale of 2cm equals 1metre to read up to 6m in decimeter

 

 

 

 

Method:

Image From EcoleBooks.com Every 2cm drawn is equal to 1m (100cm) of the actual object. Therefore scale ratio = 2 : 100 or 1 : 50

(i) Calculate the total length of the scale rule : If every 2cm on the scale rule is

equivalent to 1m, therefore a scale rule that could read up to 6m will have

a total length equal to (2 x 6) cm i.e. 12cm or 120mm.( 2/100 x 600) = 12cm = 120mm.

(ii) Draw a line 120mm long and divide it into 6 equal parts of 20mm units each.

(iii) The height of the scale rule could be any convenient length

(iv) Divide the first unit into 10 equal parts.

 

To construct a scale of 3cm Equals 1dm (10cm) to read up to 4dm in centimeters.

 

 

 

 

Method:

Every 3cm drawn is equal to 1dm (10cm) of the actual object. Therefore, scale ratio = 3 : 10 or 1 : 31/3

(i) Calculate the total length of the scale rule : If every 3cm on the scale rule is equivalent to 1dm,

Image From EcoleBooks.comtherefore a scale rule that could read up to 4dm will have a total length equal to (3 x 4) cm i.e. 12cm

or 120mm.( 3/10 x 40 ) = 12cm = 120mm

(ii) Draw a line 120mm long and divide it into 4 equal parts of 30mm units each.

(iii)The height of the scale rule could be any convenient length

(iv)Divide the first unit into 10 equal parts.

To construct a scale of 11/2 times full size to read up to 8cm in millimeters

 

 

 

 

Method:

Scale ratio = 11/2 x 1 (full size = 1:1)

(i) Draw a line of length equal to (11/2x 8) cm i.e 12cm or 120mm and divide it into 8 equal parts.

(ii) The height of the scale rule could be any convenient length.

1(a) To join an arc of known radius R to a straight line AB.

Method:

(i) Draw the straight line AB.

(ii) Draw another straight line A1B1 parallel to line AB but at a distance R apart.

(iii) With compass pin at any given point on A1B1ie point C and radius R, draw an arc to touch line

AB.

 

1(b) To join an arc of known radius R to two straight lines inclined at right angle.

Method:

(i) Draw lines respectively at distance R parallel to the two given straight lines.

(ii) The point of intersection Q of these parallel lines in (i) marks the centre of the arc that would be

tangential to the two lines.

(iii) With Q as centre and radius R, draw an arc to just touch the two lines at their tangent points T.

Note :The procedures for drawing figures 1(c) and 1(d) are the same as figure 1(b) except that the two straight lines are inclined at acute and obtuse angles respectively.
