Question

Construct a triangle of sides 5 cm, 6 cm and 7 cm, then construct a
2
triangle similar to it, whose sides are ſ of the corresponding sides
of the first triangle​

Answer 1

Answer:

Draw a line segment AB = 5 cm.

Draw an arc at 6 cm from point A.

Draw an arc at 7 cm from point B so that it intersects the previous arc.

Join A3 to B.

Draw a line from point A2 so that this line is parallel to A3B and intersects AB at point B'

Answer 2

Answer:

Step 1: Draw base AB of length 7 cm.

Step 2: Place a compass on A and draw an arc of radius 5 cm.

Step 3: Place the compass on B and draw an arc of radius 6 cm such that it intersects the arc drawn in step 2.

Step 4: Mark the intersection of the two arcs as C and join A−C and B−C.
