Question
Construct traingle ABC, when : AB = BC = CA = 4.5 cm. Measure all the angles of the triangle. Are they equal?
Solution
Steps of Construction:
(1) Draw a line AB = 4.5 cm.
(2) Using compasses and taking BC as centre, draw an arc of 4.5 cm radius.
(3) With AC as centre, draw an arc of 4-5 cm radius, which cuts the previous arc at C.
(4) Join AC and BC.
(5) Measurement, ∠A = ∠B = ∠C = 60°.
