Question
Draw a triangle whose sides are of lengths 4 cm, 5 cm and 7 cm.
Solution
Let us assume that given sides are BC = 7 cm, AS = 4 cm and AC = 5 cm
Steps of construction:
Step I: Draw a line BC = 7 cm
Step II: With centre B and radius 4 cm draw an arc.
Step III: With centre C and radius 5 cm, draw an arc which cuts the previous arc at A.
Step IV: Join AB and AC.
Hence, ΔABC is the required triangle in which AB = 4 cm, BC = 7 cm and AC = 5 cm.
