Question

construct a triangle ABC both sides are 7.5 centimetres 7 centimetre and 6.5 centimetre construct a triangle similar to triangle ABC and with sides 3 by 4 of the corresponding sides of triangle ABC and justify your construction

Answer 1

Solution:Draw a line segment AB = 7.6 cm.Draw a ray AX which makes an acute angle with AB.Locate 13 points (5 + 8) A1, A2, A3, …….A13on AX so that;AA1= A1A2= A2A3= A3A4= A4A5= A5A6= A6A7= A7A8= A8A9= A9A10= A10A11= A11A12= A12A13Join A13to B.Through the point A5, draw a line A5C || A13B; which intersects AB at point C.We get; AC : CB = 5 : 8AC = 2.92 cm and CB = 4.68 cm
