Answer 1

Question:

Construct a triangle XYZ with side XY= 11cm, YZ= 5cm, ZX=8cm and also write its steps of construction.​

Solution:

(i) Draw a line segment which is sufficiently long using ruler.

(ii) Locate points X and Z on it such that XZ = 8cm.

(iii) With X as centre and radius 11 cm, draw an arc(see figure)

(iv) With Z as centre and radius 5cm, draw another arc cutting the previous arc at C.

(v) Join XY and YZ

Then ABC is the required triangle:
