Question
In ∆ STU, l(ST) = 7 cm, l(TU) = 4 cm, l(SU) = 5 cm
Solution
Steps of construction:
- Draw a line ST = 7 cm.
- With S as centre and 5 cm as the radius, draw an arc above the line ST.
- With T as the center and 4 cm as the radius, draw an arc cutting the previous drawn arc at point U.
- Join US and UT.
