Question

(2) Draw ∆XYZ, such that l (XY) = 5 cm, l (YZ) = 5.6 cm and l (XZ) = 4.2 cm.

Answer 1

Steps of construction:

(1) Draw a line segment YZ = 5.6 cm.
(2) Taking Y as centre, draw an arc of radius 5 cm.
(3) Taking Z as centre, draw an arc of radius 4.2 cm that intersects the previous arc at X.
(4) Join X and Y and X and Z.
The required ∆XYZ is thus drawn.
