Question
Construct a triangle PQR with QR = 5.5 cm, ∠Q = 60° and angle R = 45°. Construct the circumcircle cif the triangle PQR.
Solution
Steps of Construction:
(i) Draw a ∆PQR in which QR = 5.5 cm, ∠Q = 60° and ∠R = 45°.
(ii) Draw the arc bisector of PQ and PR which intersect at O.
(iii) Taking O as center and radius OP or OQ or OR draw a circle.
This circle will pass through vertices P, Q, and R.
