Question

Construct a ∆ PQR , given that PQ = 5.5 cm ,QR = 4.8 cm and PR = 4.2 cm . Write steps of construction .

Answer 1

Explanation:

AT first, draw the reference line, which are given. If I take PQ as base, I won't need to draw PQ line as reference.

I took PQ(5.5cm) as base. Then, take 4.8cm in your compass by centering at point Q. Draw an arc. Then take 4.2 cm in your compass from the reference line which you have drawn and then centre at point P and draw an arc. Both the arcs will meet at one point. Then join the lines to form the Triangle PQR
