Question

An isosceles triangle pqr in which pq is equal to pr is equal to 6 cm and qr is equal to 5 cm construct a triangle abc similar to triangle pqr in which a b is equal to 8 cm give the dell ship justification of the construction

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

An isosceles triangle pqr in which pq is equal to pr is equal to 6 cm and qr is equal to 5 cm construct a triangle abc similar to triangle pqr in which a b is equal to 8 cm give the dell ship justification of the construction

ab is equivalent to qr

Pq = 6 cm pr = 6cm   qr = 5cm

ab/qr = ac/pq = bc/pr

=> 8/5 = ac/6 = bc/6

=> ac = 9.6cm = bc    

now to draw triangle ABC

with ab = 8 cm  & ac = bc = 9.6 cm

first we draw line ab = 8 cm

then draw two arcs from A & B with compass with radius = 9.6cm

such that both arc cut each other

Then join intersection point C with A & B

we will get required Triangle
