Answer 1

Construction steps :

1 . Draw a line XY .

2 . Mark a point M on line XY .

3 . Construct MX perpendicular to

line XY.

4 . Take M as a center with radius 3cm

draw an arc on ray MX which intersects

MX at A .

5 .Take A as a center and radii 3.5 cm

and 4cm Draw two arcs intersects

line XY at B and C respectively.

6. Join A to B and C .
