Question
Construct a right-angled triangle whose hypotenuse measures 5 cm and one of the other sides measures 3.2 cm.
Solution
Steps of construction:
Step I: Draw a line AB = 3.2 cm
Step II: Construct a right angle (90°) at point B, i.e. ∠ABY = 90°
Step III: Now, from point A, cut an arc 5 cm on BY at C
Step IV: Joint C to A
Hence, ΔABC is the required triangle, having hypotenuse AC = 5 cm and AB = 32 cm.
