Question
Using ruler and a pair compass only, construct a triangle PQR, given PQ = 5.5 cm, QR = 7.5 cm and RP = 6 cm. Draw the bisectors of the interior angles at P, Q and R. Do these bisectors meet at the same point ?
Solution
Steps of Construction:
(1) Draw a line PQ = 5.5 cm.
(2) From Q as a centre draw an arc QR = 7.5 cm.
(3) From P as a centre draw an arc PR = 6 m, which intersects previous arc at R.
(4) Join PR and QR.
(5) Now, draw interior bisectors of ∠P, ∠QR ∠R which meets each other at point S.
