Question
Construct an isosceles triangle ABC such that AB = 6 cm, BC = AC = 4 cm. Bisect ∠C internally and mark a point P on this bisector such that CP = 5 cm. Find the points Q and R which are 5 cm from P and also 5 cm from the line AB.
Solution
Steps of construction:
- Draw a line segment AB = 6 cm.
- With centers A and B and radius 4 cm, draw two arcs which intersect each other at C.
- Join CA and CB.
- Draw the angle bisector of angle C and cut off CP = 5 cm.
- A line m is drawn parallel to AB at a distance of 5 cm.
- P as centre and radius 5 cm, draw arcs which intersect the line m at Q and R.
- Join PQ, PR and AQ.
Q and R are the required points.
