Question

13. Construct a right-angled triangle whose hypotenuse is 5v2 cm and one of the acute angles is 45. Measure its legs. Are they equal? Join the midpoint of the hypotenuse to the vertex opposite to it. Do you get two congruent triangles?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Draw BC = 5 cm.

(ii) Make ∠ BCX = 90°.

(iii) With B as centre and radius 7 cm, cut off BA = 7 cm.

(iv) Join AB.

Thus, ∆ ABC is the required ∆.
