Draw an isosceles ABC in which AB=AC=6cm and BC=5cm . Construct a PQR similar to ABC in which PQ=8cm . Also justify answer.
Answers
Given : an isosceles ΔABC in which AB=AC=6cm and BC=5cm
To Find : Construct Triangle
and similar triangle PQR with PQ = 8 cm
Solution:
Step 1 : Draw a line segment BC = 5 cm
Step 2 : Using compass width = 6 cm and taking B as center draw an arc
Step 3 : Keeping compass width same taking C as center draw an arc intersecting arc drawn in previous step at A
Step 4 : Join AB & AC
Draw a line segment PQ = 8 cm
Using suitable compass width Taking A as center draw an arc intersecting
AC at X & AB at Y
Keeping compass width same taking P as center Draw an arc intersecting PQ at M
open compass = XY and taking M as center intersect arc drawb in previous step at N
draw a ray PZ passing passing thorugh N
Take a length PR = 8 cm
Join QR
ΔPQR ≈ ΔABC
