Question

Construct a triangle ABC for given AB = 5 cm. , angle A is 60 degrees and AC = 6 cm.​

Answer 1

$\dashrightarrow$ Steps :-

• First, draw a line segment AC of 6 cm.
• Next, take a protractor and keep it's mid-point on the point A and draw a ray measuring 60°.
• Then, take a compass and measure it as 5 cm and keep it's tip on the point A and draw an arc on the ray.
• Now, join the point C to the point where the ray and the arc meets. Name it as point B.
• Finally, the triangle is constructed.

$\dashrightarrow$ Instruments used :-

• Ruler :- The ruler is used to draw the line segments of accurate measurements and the drawn lines should be correct and always straight.
• Protractor :- The protractor is used to draw the rays measuring accurate measurements of degrees. It's also used to measure the angles given.
• Compass :- The compass is used to draw the arcs of accurate measurements as given in the question. They should be drawn on the ray drawn.
