Given sides of an isosceles triangle
∆PQR are PQ = PR = 3 cm and QR = 5 cm
In isosceles triangle two sides are equal.
∴ PQ = PR = 3 cm
Steps of construction:
1. Draw a rough sketch of the triangle and label it with the given measurements.
2. Draw a line segment QR = 5 cm.
3. Draw an arc with centre Q and radius 3 cm.
4. Draw another arc with centre R and same radius (3 cm) to intersect the previous arc at P.
5. Join PQ and PR.
Hence, required APQR is constructed with the given measurements.
