Question

Construct a triangle ABC , where AB = 3cm , BC = 4cm and AC = 5cm
1) Write the steps of construction
2)Mention the names of instruments you used​

Answer 1

draw a line segment of 5cmBC

draw arc of 3and 4cm

join it

Answer 2

$\dashrightarrow$ Steps :-

1. First, draw a line segment AC which is of 5 cm, because it has the greatest measurement among all three sides.
2. Next, take a compass and measure 3 cm from a ruler and draw an arc by keeping the compass on the point A.
3. Next, take a compass and measure 4 cm from a ruler and draw an arc by keeping the compass on the point C.
4. Now, join the point where both the arcs meet. Name the point as B.
5. Finally, we are done with the triangle.

$\dashrightarrow$ Instruments used :-

1. Ruler :- Ruler is used to draw the lines. We should always use a ruler to draw lines so that we get accurate measurements and draw straight lines.
2. Compass :- Compass is used to take the measurements given and cut the arc from the given points.
3. Pencil :- Pencil is used to draw the diagram.

More to know...............

• While constructing the triangle always draw the base, for which line has greatest measurement.
• Use ruler for accurate measurement and the construction should be as per to the question${.}$
