draw a triangle with sides 7cm 6cm 5cm. Then draw of a square of the same area
Answers
Answer:(A)
Steps of Construction for triangle:
1. Draw a line segment BC of length 5cm.
2. Measure distance of 6 cm in compass. Taking B as centre draw an arc.
3. Taking C as centre with same distance and draw another arc.
4. Both the arcs intersect each other; name that point of intersection as A.
5. Required triangle ABC is drawn.
Area of ABC can be calculated using Heron's formula.

(B)
Steps of Construction for square:
1.Draw segment BC of length 3.7cm.
2.Draw a line perpendicular to BC through B.
Measure a distance of 3.7 cm in compass and cut this line at point A.
3.Draw a line perpendicular to BC through C.
Measure a distance of 3.7 cm in compass and cut this line at point D.
4.Join AB, CD and AD.
5.Required square ABCD is drawn.
Step-by-step explanation:
Draw a triangle with sides 5 cm, 6 cm and 6 cm. Draw a square having the same area as the triangle.
