Question

In the second step in drawing the arc of given radius touching two straight lines at right angles with each other, we draw another arc from the centre at the new intersection of the arc and the lines and keeping the radius same.

(a) True

(b) False

The question was asked at a job interview.

The above asked question is from Drawing Regular Polygons & Simple Curves topic in chapter Geometrical Construction of Engineering Drawing

Answer 1

Correct answer is (a) True

The best explanation: In the second step in drawing the arc of given radius touching two straight lines at right angles with each other, we draw another arc from the centre at the new intersection of the arc and the lines and keeping the radius same. The intersection of these two new arcs is the centre of the required arc.
