Question

construct a right angle triangle abc in which angle b = 90 , ab + bc = 10 cm , bc = 6 cm​

Answer 1

Steps of construction:

• (1) Draw a line segment XY.

• (2) Locate B, C on XY such that BC=4cm

• (3)Construct a line segment BD, sufficiently large, such that ∠B=90°

• (4)With C as centre and radius 5cm draw an arc, cutting BD at A; join AC.

Then, ABC is the required triangle.
