Question
Construct traingle ABC, when : AB = 3 cm, BC = 7 cm and ∠B = 90°.
Solution
Steps of Construction:
(1) Draw a line segment AB = 3 cm
(2) With the help of compasses, construct ∠ABC = 90°.
(3) With B as centre, draw an arc of 7 cm length which cuts BP at C.
(4) Join A and C.
(5) Triangle ABC, so obtained, is the required triangle.
