Constructing a right angled triangle ABC with base, AB =12 cm and sum of hypotenuse BC and another side AC, AC + BC = 18 cm.
Steps of Construction :
1. Draw a line segment AB = 12 cm.
2. With the help of protractor construct ∠A = 90° and produce upto AX.
3. Mark ‘D’ on AX such that AD = 18 cm.
4. Join BD.
5. Let the perpendicular bisector BD intersects AD at C. Join BC.
6. Now required triangle ABC is constructed with Base AB = 12cm, Side AC = – 5 cm, Hypotenuse BC = 13 cm and ∠A = 90°.
