Question

Construct ∆ABC with measurements such that AB = 3.5 cm, BC = 4 cm and AC = 4.5 cm.

Answer 1

Given sides of ∆ABC are AB = 3.5 cm, BC = 4 cm and AC = 4.5 cm.

Steps of Construction: 

1 Draw a rough sketch of the triangle and label it with the given measurements.

2. Draw a line segment BC of length 4 cm. 

3. Draw an arc with centre B and radius 3.5 cm. 

4. Draw another arc with centre C and radius 4.5 cm to intersect the previous arc at A. 

5. Join AB and AC. 

Thus, required ∆ABC is constructed with the given measurements.
