Question

Construct a right triangle, when one side is 3.8cm and the sum of the other side and hypotenuse is 6cm.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Draw a line segment BC of 3.8cm.

Step 2: At B draw an angle le x BC of 90o .

Step 3: with center B and radius 6cm draw an arc which intersects XB at D.

Step 4: Join DC.

Step 5: Draw the perpendicular bisector of DC which intersects DB at A

Step 6: Join AC

ABC is the required triangle

Answer 2

Steps of construction:

i) Draw AB = 3.8cm

ii) Through B draw line BP so that ∠ABP = 900

iii) From BP cut BD = 6cm iv Join A and D. v Draw perpendicular bisector of AD which meets BD at point C.

iv) Thus ABC is the required triangle.
