Question
Draw an equilateral triangle of side 6.5 cm and locate its incentre. Also draw the incircle
Solution
Steps for construction:
Step 1: Draw the ΔABC with the each side measure 6.5 cm.
Step 2: Construct the angles bisectors of any two angles (A and B) and let them meet at I. Then I is the incentre of ΔABC.
Step 3: Draw perpendicular from I to any one of the side (AB) to meet AB at D.
Step 4: With I as centre and ID as radius draw the circle. This circle touches all the sides of the triangle internally.
Step 5: Measure of In-radius = 1.5 cm.
