NCERT Solution: Constructions
Answer
Steps of Construction:
Step 1: A line segment PQ = 11 cm is drawn. (XY + YZ + ZX = 11 cm)
Step 2: An angle, ∠RPQ = 30° is constructed at point A and an angle ∠SQP = 90° at point B.
Step 3: ∠RPQ and ∠SQP are bisected . The bisectors of these angles intersect each other at point X.
Step 4: Perpendicular bisectors TU of PX and WV of QX are constructed.
Step V: Let TU intersect PQ at Y and WV intersect PQ at Z. XY and XZ are joined.
Thus, ΔXYZ is the required triangle.
Answer
Steps of Construction:
Step 1: A ray BX is drawn and a cut off a line segment BC = 12 cm is made on it.
Step 2: ∠XBY = 90° is constructed.
Step 3: Cut off a line segment BD = 18 cm is made on BY. CD is joined.
Step 4: Perpendicular bisector of CD is constructed intersecting BD at A. AC is joined.
Thus, ΔABC is the required triangle.
