Answer 1

have u understood...........

Answer 2

Answer:

Refer the attached figure.

Step-by-step explanation:

To draw an isosceles triangle with base 5 cm and height 4 cm.

Draw a triangle similar to the triangle drawn whose sides are 2 /3 times the sides of the triangle.

Steps of construction :

Step 1) Draw line segment of 5 cm AB and construct perpendicular bisector of  AB.

Step 2) Use straightedge to join the intersection points and mark the intersection point of the perpendicular bisector and line segment AB as O.

Step 3) Use compass and mark 4 cm above a arc by putting needle at O and named as C.

Step 4) Join point C with A and B.

Step 5) Draw a line segment below the triangle from point A.

Step 6) Mark 3 points of equal measure from A by using compass.

Step 7) Join the third arc with point B. and copy angle of third arc to the 2nd arc .

Step 8) Then construct line through the copied angle made by 2nd arc and named as B'.

Step 9) Now, above to the line segment AB, copy angle B to B'.

Step 10) Then construct line segment through B' to AC and named as C'.
