Question
Construct a triangle ABC such that BC = 6 cm, AB = 6 cm and median AD = 4 cm.
Solution
Steps of construction:
Step 1: Draw a line segment BC of 6cm.
Step 2: Take midpoint D of BC.
Step 3: with center B and D and radii 6cm and 4cm draw two arcs which intersects each other A
Step 4: Join AB, AD and AC
∴ Δ ABC is the required triangle
