Question
Construct a triangle of the measures given below.
In ∆ABC, l(AC) = 7.5 cm, m ∠ABC = 90°, l(BC) = 5.5 cm.
Solution
Steps of construction:
- Draw a line BC = 5.5 cm.
- With B as a centre, draw ∠XBC = 90º.
- With C as a centre and 7.5 cm as radius, cut an arc on XB and name it as point A.
- Join AC.
∆ABC is thus formed.
