Question

construct a triangle shadow similar to the given triangle ABC , with its sides equal to 5/3 of the corresponding sides of the triangle AB​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let ΔABC be a triangle having BC=6cm;∠B=50°;∠C=60°.

Steps of construction of triangle (3/4)th of △ABC:

(1). Draw a ray BX making an acute angle with BC on the opposite side of vertex A.

(2). Mark four points on BX as B
