उत्तर

   
Steps of construction:

  1. Draw a line segment BC = 5 cm.
  2. With centers B and C, draw two arcs of 5 cm radius each which intersect each other at A.
  3. Join AB and AC.
  4. Draw angle bisectors of ∠B and ∠C intersecting each other at O.
  5. From O, draw OL ⊥ BC.
  6. Now with centre O and radius OL, draw a circle which will touch the sides of ΔABC.
    On measuring, OL = 1.4 cm.
