Question
Construct a triangle ABC given AB = 6 cm, BC = 5 cm and CA = 5.6 cm. From vertex A draw a perpendicular on to side BC. Measure the length of this perpendicular.
Solution
Steps of Construction:
(1) Draw a line AB = 6 cm.
(2) Using compass, taking A and B as centre draw arcs of 5 cm and 5.6 cm respectively, which cut each other at C.
(3) Join AC and BC.
(4) Now, from vertex A draw a bisector AD towards BC. On measuring length AD = 5 cm.
