Exercise 26(B)
1. Construct triangle ABC, when:
AB = 6 cm, BC = 8 cm and AC = 4 cm
Solution:
Given
AB = 6 cm
BC = 8 cm
AC = 4 cm
Now,
Steps of Construction:
(i) Draw a line AB of length 6 cm
(ii) Using compasses, take B as centre, and draw an arc of 8 cm radius
(iii) Again, taking A as centre, draw another arc of 4 cm radius, which cuts the previous arc at point C
(iv) Now join AC and BC
The obtained triangle ABC is the required triangle.
2. AB = 3.5 cm, AC = 4.8 cm and BC = 5.2 cm
Solution:
Given
AB = 3.5 cm
AC = 4.8 cm
BC = 5.2 cm
Steps of Construction:
(i) Draw a line AB of length 3.5 cm
(ii) With the help of compasses, taking B as centre, draw an arc of 5.2 cm radius
(iii) Again with A as centre, draw an arc of 4.8 radius
(iv) Now, join AC and BC
3. AB = BC = 5 cm and AC = 3 cm. Measure angles A and C. Is ∠A = ∠C?
Solution:
Given
AB = BC = 5 cm
AC = 3 cm
Steps of Construction:
(i) Draw a line AB of length 5 cm
(ii) Using compasses take B as centre and draw an arc of 5 cm radius
(iii) Now, taking A as centre, draw another arc of 3 cm radius, which cuts the previous arc at point C
(iv) Now, join AC and BC
Measuring angles A and C, we get
∠A = 72.5o and ∠C = 72.5o
Hence, yes ∠A = ∠C.
4. AB = BC = CA = 4.5 cm. Measure all the angles of the triangle. Are they equal?
Solution:
Given
AB = BC = CA = 4.5 cm
Steps of Construction:
(i) Draw a line AB of length 4.5 cm
(ii) Using compasses and taking BC as centre, draw an arc of 4.5 cm radius
(iii) Again taking AC as centre, draw another arc of 4.5 cm radius, which cuts the previous arc at point C
(iv) Now, join AC and BC
(v) All the angles in ABC i.e ∠A = ∠B = ∠C = 600
Since AB = BC = CA = 4.5 cm and all the angles are equal. Hence, it is an equilateral triangle
5. AB = 3 cm, BC = 7 cm and ∠B = 900
Solution:
Given
AB = 3 cm,
BC = 7 cm and
∠B = 900
Steps of Construction:
(i) Draw a line segment AB of length 3 cm
(ii) Using compasses, construct ∠ABC = 900
(iii) Taking B as centre, draw an arc of 7 cm length and mark as point C i.e BC = 7 cm
(iv) Now, join A and C
(v) The obtained â–³ABC, is the required triangle
6. AC = 4.5 cm, BC = 6 cm and ∠C = 600
Solution:
Given

∠C = 600
Steps of Construction:
(i) Draw a line AC of length 4.5 cm
(ii) Using compasses, construct ∠ACB = 600
(iii) Draw an arc of 6 cm radius and mark it as B such that BC = 6 cm
(iv) Now, join B and A
7. AC = 6 cm, ∠A = 600 and ∠C = 450. Measure AB and BC.
Solution:
Given
AC = 6 cm
∠A = 600
∠C = 450
Steps of Construction:
(i) Draw a line segment AC of length 6 cm
(ii) With the help of Compass, construct ∠A = 600
(iii) Again, using compass, construct ∠C = 450
(iv) AD and CE intersect each other at point B
(v) Now, the obtained â–³ABC is the required triangle
(vi) Measure the side AB and BC with the help of a scale
(vii) We get, AB = 4.4 cm and BC = 5.4 cm
8. AB = 5.4 cm, ∠A = 300 and ∠B = 900. Measure ∠C and side BC.
Solution:
Given
AB = 5.4 cm
∠A = 300 and
∠B = 900
Steps of Construction:
(i) Draw a line segment AB of length 5.4 cm
(ii) With the help of compass, construct ∠A = 300
(iii) Similarly, construct ∠B = 900
(iv) AD and BE intersect each other at point C
(v) Hence, the obtained â–³ABC is the required triangle

(iv) Now, join point C with A and B
(v) The obtained triangle is the required â–³ABC
(vi) On measuring ∠ACB, we get ∠ACB = 900.
Therefore, the obtained triangle ABC is a right angled triangle
