Question

Construct a right angled triangle whose hypotenuse measures 5 cm and the length of one of whose sides containing the right angle measures 4.5 cm

Answer 1

Question:-

• Construct a right angled triangle whose hypotenuse measures 5 cm and the length of one of whose sides containing the right angle measures 4.5 cm

Given:-

• hypotenuse measures 5 cm
• The length of one of whose sides containing the right angle measures 4.5 cm

Steps of Construction:-

1. Construct a line segment BC = 5 cm
2. Make the centre of the line BC as O
3. Considering O as centre and radius as OB, Construct a semicircular on the line segment BC
4. Considering B as centre and radius 4.5 cm, construct an arc cutting the semicircle at the point A
5. Join the line AB and AC

Therefore, △ABC is the required triangle,
