Question

The length of equal sides in the following construction is; Draw an isosceles right-angled triangle whose hypotenuse is 5.8cm.a) 4cm b) 4.5cm c) 3.8cm d) 4.7cm

Answer 1

Answer:

AB = 6.1 cm: AC = 5.1 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 : Draw a line segment BC of length 7cm

Step 2 : Draw an angle of 45

o

from point B

Step 3 : From Ray AX cut off the line segment BD=1cm

Step 4 : Join C to D

Step 5 : Draw side bisector of DC

Step 6 : Extend side bisector of DC it intersect the Ray BX at point A

Step 7 : Join A to C, ABC is the required triangle.

On measuring, AB=6.1cm,AC=5.1cm
