Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Steps of construction:

(a) Draw a line segment QR = 8 cm.

(b) At point Q, draw QX ⊥ QR.

(c) Taking R as centre, draw an arc of radius 10 cm.

(d) This arc cuts QX at point P.

(e) Join PQ.

It is the required right angled triangle PQR.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Draw a line segment AB of 4cm.

2. At A, draw AX making 90° with AB.

3. With B as centre, draw an arc radius of 6cm. It cuts AX at the point C.

4. Join CB.

∆CAB is now completed.
