Question

Draw a right triangle in which the sides are of lengths 8 cm and 6 cm. Then construct another triangle whose sides are 5/3 times the corresponding sides of the given triangle

Answer 1

Answer:

9 Steps of Construction of Similar Triangles

Step-by-step explanation:

Steps of constructions :

1. A line segment BC of length 8 cm is drawn initially.

2. Draw line segment BX making an angle of 90º at the point B of BC.

3. From B mark an arc on BX at a distance of 6 cm, Let it is A.

4. Join A to C.

5. Making an acute angle draw a line segment BY from B.

6. Mark B_1, B_2, B_3, B_4 on BX such that BB_1 = B_1B_2 = B_2B_3 = B_3B_4.

7. Join B_4 to C.

8. Draw a line segment B_3C' || B_4C to meet BC at C'.

9. Draw line segment CA' || CA to meet AB at A' A'BC' is the required triangle.hypotenuse-are-8-cm-and-6-cm

A'BC' is the required triangle.
