solve this question, along with the steps of construction.
Answers
1) Draw a line AB = 7 cm
2) Construct a 45° with vertex A and extend it
3) Construct a 60° with vertex B and extend it
4) Mark the point where these two lines Intersect as C
5) Hence ∆ABC has been constructed

If you see the Answer we may get a doubt that, we never constructed a 75°. This was because we used the angle sum property ,
Given that in ∆ABC
✭ ∠A = 45°
✭ ∠C = 75°
Angle B will be,
➝ ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
➝ 45° + ∠B + 75° = 180°
➝ 120° + ∠B = 180°
➝ ∠B = 180°-120°
➝ ∠B = 60°

construct a triangle ABC in which AB = 7 cm , ∠ A = 45° and ∠ C = 75° .
Given -
✧ ∠A = 45 °
✧ ∠C = 75 °
✧ AB = 7
To Find -
∴∠B = ?
so, first we have to find ∠ B →
∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180 °
By this we can find ∠B.
[ Angle sum property of triangle states that the sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180°]
↝ ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180 °
↝ 45 ° + ∠B + 75 ° = 180 °
↝ 120 ° + ∠B = 180 ° [Adding ∠A & ∠C]
↝ ∠B = 180 ° - 120 ° [By Transposition]
↝ ∠B = 60 ° [Subtracting 180 & ∠A+∠C]
So, now we know that ∠B = 60°

Let's construct the triangle
1. Draw a line of 7 cm and mark it as AB.
2. Construct ∠A from point A of 45 ° and extend it .
3. then Construct ∠B from point B of 60 ° and extend it.
4. join the both lines at a point C which is ∠C .
[ you can see after measuring ∠C that is it 75° because of Angle sum property (a + b + c = 180 °) ]
5. Now , ∆ ABC has been constructed.
