Question

25.
Construct a triangle of sides 5 cm, 6 cm and 7 cm, then construct a
2
triangle similar to it, whose sides are 3 of the corresponding sides
of the first triangle.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

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 1=A1 A2 = A2 A3

• Join A 3 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
