Question

Construct the triangles.

PQR in which PQ = 5.5 cm, QR = 6.5 cm, RP = 5 cm​

Answer 1

$\dashrightarrow$ Steps :-

• First, draw a line segment QR of 6.5 cm.
• Next, take a compass and measure it as 5.5 cm and keep it's tip on the point Q and draw an arc above the line segment.
• Again, take a compass and measure it as 5 cm and keep it's tip on the point R and draw an arc above the line segment.
• Now, join the points Q and R to the point where both arcs meet. Name it as point P.
• Finally, the triangle is constructed.
