Question

Draw a right angled triangle whose hypotenuse measures 5.3 cm and the length of one of the sides containing the right angle measures 4.5 cm

Answer 1

Draw a line segment BC = 6 cm.

2. Construct the right bisector of BC to get O as the mid point of BC.

3. With O as centre and radius OB, draw a semi circle on BC.

4. With B as centre and radius equal to 4 cm, draw an arc cutting the semi circle at A.

5. Join AB and AC.

Then ABC is the required triangle.
