Question
Construct ΔXYZ in which XY = 4.5 cm, YZ = 5 cm and ZX = 6 cm.
Solution
The rough figure of this triangle is as follows.
The required triangle is constructed as follows.
1) Draw a line segment YZ of length 5 cm.
2) Point X is at a distance of 4.5 cm from point Y. Therefore, taking point Y as centre, draw an arc of 4.5 cm radius.
3) Point X is at a distance of 6 cm from point Z. Therefore, taking point Z as centre, draw an arc of 6 cm radius. Mark the point of intersection of the arcs as X. Join XY and XZ.
XYZ is the required triangle.
