Question

Construct a ∆ PQR such that PQ = 6 cm, ∠QPR = 45° and angle PQR = 60°. Locate its incentre and then draw its incircle.

Diagram

Solution

Steps of Construction :

(i) Draw a line segment PQ = 6 cm.

(ii) At P draw rays making an angle of 45° and at Q, making an angle of 60°, intersecting each other at R.

(iii) Draw the bisectors of ∠P and ∠Q intersecting each other at I.

(iv) From I, draw IL ⊥ PQ.

(v) With centre I and radius IL, draw a circle which touches the sides of Δ PQR internally. This is the required incircle whose I is incentre.
