Question

Construct a right angled ∆KLM, right angled at L, given that

KM= 8cm and LM= 6cm.​

Answer 1

$\dashrightarrow$ Steps :-

• First, draw a line segment LM of 6 cm.
• Next, take a protractor and keep it's mid-point on the point L and draw a ray measuring 90°.
• Then, take a compass and measure it as 8 cm and keep it's tip on the point M and draw an arc on the ray.
• Now, join the point M to the point where the arc and the ray meets. Name it as point K.
• Finally, the triangle is constructed.

$\dashrightarrow$ Instruments used :-

• Ruler :- The ruler is used to draw the line segments of accurate measurements and the drawn lines should be correct and straight always.
• Protractor :- The protractor is used to draw the rays of accurate measurements of degrees. It's also used to measure the angles given.
• Compass :- The compass is used to draw the arcs of the accurate measurements as given in the question.
