Question
Draw triangle with the measures given below.
In ∆ NTS, m ∠T = 40°, l(NT) = l(TS) = 5 cm
Solution
Steps of construction:
- Draw a line TS = 5 cm.
- With T as a centre, draw an angle of 40°° using protractor. Name this angle as ∠∠XTS.
- With T as a centre and 5 cm as radius, cut an arc on XT and name it as point N.
- Join NS.
∆NTS is the required triangle.
