Question

Construct an equilateral triangle of each side as 5.6 cm.

Answer 1

Steps of Construction:

i) Draw a line segment BC = 5.6 cm

ii) With centers B and C, draw two arcs of 5.6 cm radius each which intersect each other at A

iii) Join AB and AC.

iv) Draw angle bisectors of ∠B and ∠C intersecting each other at O.

v) From O, draw OL ⊥ BC.

vi) Now with centre O and radius OL, draw a circle which will touch the sides of ΔABC. This is the required circle.
