NCERT Exercise Exercise 11.2 - Page No: 195

Construct a triangle ABC in which BC = 7cm, ∠B = 75° and AB + AC = 13 cm.

Answer

Steps of Construction: 
Step 1: A line segment BC of 7 cm is drawn.
Step 2: At point B, an angle ∠XBC is constructed such that it is equal to 75°.
Step 3: A line segment BD = 13 cm is cut on BX (which is equal to AB+AC).
Step 3: DC is joined and ∠DCY = ∠BDC is made.
Step 4: Let CY intersect BX at A.
Thus, ΔABC is the required triangle.
