Answer:
3. Construct a scalene triangle, given its perimeter and its two base angles.
Constructions of Triangles
Draw a line segment, say XY equal to BC + CA + AB.
Make angles LYX equal to B and MYX equal to C.
Bisect LYX and MYX. Let these bisectors intersect at a point A
Draw perpendicular bisectors PQ of AX and RS of AY.
Let PQ intersect XY at B and RS intersect XY at C. Join AB and AC
Then ABC is the required triangle
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Construct a scalene triangle when the base, one base angle and the sum of the lengths of the other two sides are given.
Constructions of Triangles
Construction:
Draw the base BC and at the point, B makes an angle, say XBC equal to the given angle.
Cut a line segment BD equal to AB + AC from the ray BX.
Join DC and make an angle DCY equal to BDC.
Let CY intersect BX at A
ABC is the required triangle.
In triangle ACD, ∠ACD = ∠ ADC
So, AB = BD – AD = BD – AC
AB + AC = BD
(i) Draw a line segment BC = 4 cm.
(ii) With B as Centre and radius 3.5 cm, draw an arc.
(iii) With C as centre and radius 4.5 cm, draw another arc cutting the previous arc at A.
(iv) Join AB and AC.

Therefore, ∆ ABC is the required triangle.
2. Draw a triangle ABC such that BC = 4.5 cm, AB = 3.5 cm, AC = 5 cm.
[Let us draw a rough sketch of the triangle ABC. Name the vertices and show the given measures.]
Steps of Construction:
Now let’s follow these steps one by one
(i) Draw a line segment BC = 4.5 cm.
(ii) With B as Centre and radius 3.5 cm, draw an arc.
(iii) With C as centre and radius 5 cm, draw another arc cutting the previous arc at A.
(iv) Join AB and AC.
