Question

Draw an isosceles triangle ABC in which AB = AC = 6 cm and BC = 5 cm.Construct a triangle PQR similar to ABC in which PQ = 8 cm. Also justify the
construction.

Answer 1

Construct a triangle ABC where AB = 6 cm, BC = 5 cm and AC = 6 cm.
Measure the angles A and B.
If triangle ABC is similar to triangle PQR.
<P =<A and <Q = <B
GIven that PQ = 8 cm.
Construct a triangle PQR using the measures of PQ, <P and <Q.
