Question
Construct a triangle XYZ with the given conditions.
XY = 6.4 cm, ZY = 7.7 cm and XZ = 5 cm
Solution
Construction:
Step 1: Draw a line. Marked Y and Z on the line such that YZ = 7.7 cm.
Step 2: With Y as centre drawn an arc of radius 6.4 cm above the line YZ.
Step 3: With Z as centre, drawn an arc or radius 5 cm to intersect arc drawn in steps.
Marked the point of intersection as X.
Step 4: Joined YX and ZX.
Now XYZ is the required triangle.
