construct a triangle ABC in which angle b is 30degree BC is 6 cm AB+AC is equal to 11 cm
Answers
Steps to construction :
1 ) Draw a rough skatch of ∆ABC and
mark the given measurements.
2 ) Construct ∆BCD using S.A.S rule with
measures BC = 6 cm , <B = 30° and
BD = 3.1 cm [ i.e AB - AC = 3.1 cm ]
3 ) Draw the perpendicular bisector of
CD .
Let it meet ray BDX at a point A.
4 ) Join AC to get the required ∆ABC.
Step-by-step explanation:
STEPS: 1) Construct segment BC = 6cm
2) Construct ray BX making 30° with BC.
3) Cut BC' = 6.2 cm from the ray BX.
4) Join C' & C
5) Now, construct perpendicular bisector of CC', which cuts BC' at A.
Triangle ABC is the required triangle.
JUSTIFICATION: Since perpendicular bisector of the base( unequal side) of an isosceles triangle passes through its vertex.
So, in the constructed triangle, AC' becomes equal to AC
Since , BA+AC' = 6.2 cm ( constructed)
But AC' = AC
=> BA+ AC = 6.2cm.
ie, in triangle ABC,
