construct a triangle whose sides are respectively 6cm, 7cm and 8cm and construct a triangle similar to this triangle whose sides are 2/3 of the original triangle |

Answer» Making the triangle Draw a line segment AB = 5 cm Draw an arc at 6 cm from point A. Draw an arc at 7 cm from point B so that it intersects the previous arc. Joint the point of intersection from A and B. This gives the required triangle ABC. Dividing the base: Draw a ray AX at an acute angle from AB Plot three points on AX so that; AA Join A
to B. Draw a line from point A 2
so that this line is parallel to A 3
B and intersects AB at point B' Draw a line from point B' parallel to BC so that this line intersects AC at point C' ⇒△AB ′ C ′ is the required triangle |
