Question

9 Construct the following right-angled triangles.
triangle PQR in which PQ = 7 cm and hypotenuse QR = 12 cm
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Construct a ∆ABC in which BC = 3.6 cm, AB = 5 cm and AC = 5.4 cm. Draw the perpendicular bisector of the side BC.

ANSWER:

Steps of construction: 1. Draw a line segment (AB) of length 5 cm. 2. Draw an arc of radius 5.4 cm from the centre (A). 3. With B as the centre, draw another arc of radius 3.6 cm, cutting the previous arc at C. 4. Join AC and BC. 5. Taking B as the centre and the radius more than half of BC, draw two arcs on both the sides of BC. 6. Similarly, taking C
