Question

(1) Draw A ABC so that AB = 5.0 cm, BC = 5.5 cm and AC = 4.0 cm. Draw AB A DEF similar to A ABC so th
at : 5:4. ​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Construct AABC such that AB = 5.5 cm, BC = 6 cm and CA = 4.5 cm.

AABC and ALMN are similar.

Therefore, their corresponding sides are proportional.

..ABLM=BCMN=CANL=54

→ 5.5LM-6MN=4.5NL-54

→LM=45x5.5=4.4 cm, MN=45x6=4.8 cm,

NL-45x4.5-3.6 cm

Now, construct ALMN such that LM = 4.4 cm, MN = 4.8 cm and NL = 3.6 cm.
