Chapter Overview
This chapter builds upon your earlier knowledge of geometrical constructions. It focuses on dividing a line segment in a given ratio, constructing similar triangles, and drawing tangents to a circle from a point outside it. These constructions are done using only a ruler and compass, fostering precision and logical thinking.
