Question

Construct a right triangle PQR in which hypotenuse PR = 8 cm and PQ = 6 cm. ​

Answer 1

$\dashrightarrow$ Steps :-

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

$\dashrightarrow$ Instruments used :-

• Ruler :- The ruler is used to draw the lines 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 on the ray by taking the measurements from ruler.
