Question

Construct an isosceles triangle whose two equal sides measure 6 cm each and whose base is 5 cm draw the perpendicular bisector of its base and show that it passes through the opposite vertex

Answer 1

this is the required answer

Answer 2

Answer:

ΔABC is the required isosceles triangle .

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:

Given , base of an isosceles triangle  is 5 cm and equal sides

measure 6cm each .

Step1:

Draw a line of 5 cm by using scale

Take A as a centre with radius 6 cm draw an arc .

Take B as a centre with same radius 6 cm draw an arc which intersect the pervious arc at point C .

Now join AC and BC to get ΔABC.

Again take A and B as centres , draw two arcs of radius more than half of AB .Such that they intersect each other in P and Q .

Now join PQ and produce , to pass through C .

Final answer :

Hence , ΔABC is an isosceles triangle .
