Q 16) Construct a right angled triangle with hypotenuse 7 cm and base is 5 cm.
write steps of construction also.​

Answer 1

Step 1 : Draw the base BC of length 7cm

Step 2 : At the point B make an angle of 90 degrees.

Step 3 : Cut a line segment BD of length 15 cms from the ray BX.

Step 4 : Join DC

Step 5 : Draw perpendicular bisector PQ of CD to intersect BD at point A.
