Question

Construct an equilateral triangle XYZ of side 5 cm and construct another triangle similar to triangle XYZ,such
that each of its sides is 4/5
of the sides of triangle XYZ (answer with a picture plz )​

Answer 1

Answer:

step1 : Draw a line segnent AB = 11cm (XY+YZ+ZX)

step2 : construct angle BAP = 30*

step3 :construct angle ABQ = 90*

step4 : Draw AR, the bisector of angle BAP

step5 : Draw BS, the bisector of angle ABQ. Let AR and BS intersect at X .

step6 : Draw perpendicular bisector of AX, which intersects AB at Y

step7 : Draw perpendicular bisector of XB, which intersects AB at Z

step8 : Join XY and XZ

Thus, XYZ is the required triangle
