Question

Construct a triangle similar to in which AB = 4.6 cm, BC = 5.1 cm, with scale factor 4 : 5.

Answer 1

9  Steps to Construct Similar Triangles

Step-by-step explanation:

The following are the Steps of construction:-

 

(1) AB = 4.6 cm, is drawn as a line segment.

(2) At B draw an angle of 60°.

(3) With center B and radius 5.1 cm draw an arc that intersects the line of the angle at C.

(4) Join BC.  

(5) At A draw an $\angle$BAX of any measure.

(6)Starting from A cut 5 equal parts on Ax.

(7) Join $x_5B$

(8) Through $x_4$, Draw $x_4Q$ || $x_5B$

(9) Through Q, Draw AP || BC

ΔPAQ ≈ ΔCAB
