Question
Construct a triangle XYZ in which XY = YZ= 4.5 cm and ZX = 5.4 cm. Draw the circumcircle of the triangle and measure its circumradius.
Solution
Steps of Construction:
(i) Draw a triangle XYZ in which XY = YZ = 4.5 cm and ZX = 5.4 cm.
(ii) Draw the bisectors of XZ and YZ which meet at O.
(iii) With O as center and radius OX or OY or OZ draw a circle.
This circle will pass through X, Y and Z.
