Steps are given to locate the directrix of hyperbola when axis and foci are given. Arrange the steps.i.Draw a line joining A with the other Focus F.ii.Draw the bisector of angle FAF1, cutting the axis at a point B.iii.Perpendicular to axis at B gives directrix.iv.From the first focus F1 draw a perpendicular to touch hyperbola at A.

Geometrical Construction topics include: Parallel & perpendicular lines construction, drawing regular polygons and tangents, ellipse construction, parabola and hyperbola construction, cycloidal curves and spiral construction. Geometric construction is the process of creating geometric objects using a compass and a straightedge. It is a part of pure geometry, which does not use numbers, formulae, or a coordinate system.  Geometric construction involves drawing lines, line segments, shapes, circles, and other figures accurately using a ruler, a compass, or a protractor.  Related...
