Question

Construct the ΔPQR such that PQ = 5 cm, PR = 6 cm and ∠QPR = 60° and locate its centroid

Answer 1

Steps for construction:

Step 1: Draw ΔPQR using the given measurements PQ = 5 cm, PR = 6 cm and ∠P = 60°.

Step 2: Construct the perpendicular bisectors of any two sides PQ and QR to find the mid-points of M and N respectively.

Step 3: Draw the median PN and MR and let them meet at G.

The point G is the centroid of the given ΔPQR.
