CHAPTER 7 DRAFTING GEOMETRY
PROBLEMS
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Problems 7.21 through 7.44 use an appropriately sized
ASME sheet with sheet blocks and complete the title block
information, unless otherwise specified by your instructor.
2. Use construction lines for all preliminary work on a construc-
tion layer. Use visible object lines for the completed problem.
Leave the construction layer on when you complete the prob-
lems, unless otherwise specified by your instructor. This
helps your instructor observe your drafting technique.
3. Geometric construction problems are presented as written
instructions, drawings, or a combination of both. If the
problems are presented as drawings without dimensions,
then transfer the drawing from the text to your drawing
sheet using 1:1 scales. Draw dimensioned problems full
scale (1:1) unless otherwise specified. Draw all object lines,
hidden lines, and centerlines. Do not draw dimensions.
Part 1: Problems 7.1 Through 7.20
PROBLEM 7.1 Draw two tangent circles with their centers on a
horizontal line. Circle 1 has a 64-mm diameter, and circle 2 has a
50-mm diameter.
PROBLEM 7.2 Make a perpendicular bisector of a horizontal
line that is 79 mm long.
PROBLEM 7.3 Make an angle 488 with one side vertical. Bisect
the angle.
PROBLEM 7.4 Divide a 96-mm line into seven equal spaces.
PROBLEM 7.5 Draw two parallel horizontal lines each 50 mm
long with one 44 mm above the other. Divide the space between
the lines into eight equal spaces.

PROBLEM 7.7 Make a right triangle with one side 35 mm long
and the other side 50 mm long.
PROBLEM 7.8 Make a right triangle with the hypotenuse
75 mm long and one side 50 mm long.
PROBLEM 7.9 Make an equilateral triangle with 65-mm sides.

across the flats.
PROBLEM 7.11 Draw a hexagon with a distance of 2.5 in.
across the flats.
PROBLEM 7.12 Draw a hexagon with a distance of 2.5 in.
across the corners.
PROBLEM 7.13 Draw an octagon with a distance of 2.5 in.
across the flats.
PROBLEM 7.14 Draw a rectangle 50 mm 3 75 mm with
12-mm radius tangent corners.
PROBLEM 7.15 Draw two separate angles, one a 308 acute
angle and the other a 1208 obtuse angle. Then draw a .5-in. radius
arc tangent to the sides of each angle.
PROBLEM 7.16 Given the following incomplete part, draw an
inside arc with a 2.5-in. radius tangent to ØA and line B.

PROBLEM 7.17 Draw two circles with 25-mm diameters and
38 mm between centers on horizontal. On the upper side be-
tween the two circles, draw an inside radius of 44 mm. On the
lower side, draw an outside radius of 76 mm.
PROBLEM 7.18 Draw an S curve with equal radii between
points A and B given below:
A
B
PROBLEM 7.19 Draw two lines, one on each side of the ogee
curve drawn in Problem 7.18 and .5 in. away.
PROBLEM 7.20 Make an ellipse with a 38-mm minor diame-
ter and a 50-mm major diameter.
Part 2: Problems 7.21 Through 7.44
The following geometric construction problems are presented as
dimensioned drawings or engineering problems. Draw dimen-
sioned problems full scale (1:1) on an appropriately sized sheet
with border and title block, unless otherwise specified by your
instructor. Draw all object, hidden, and centerlines. Do not draw
dimensions. Properly complete the information in the title block.
