Question

Construct a right triangle PQR in which the hypotenuse is 5cm and a side is 4cm and ∟P = 90​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Steps of construction:

1.Draw a line segment XY

2.Locate Q,R on XY such that QR=3cm

3.Construct a line segment SR, sufficiently large, such that ∠R=90

∘

4.With Q as centre and radius 4cm draw an arc, cutting RS at P; join PR.

Then, PQR is the required triangle.
