A triangle ABC is constructed with AB = 3.5 cm, BC = 6 cm and ∠A=90∘. Then the length of the third side is
Step 1:
Draw the line segment AB of the length 3.5 cm.
Step 2:
Measure the angle A with your protractor. Make a mark at 90 degrees and draw a line from A passing through the mark.
Step 3:
Cut an arc of radius 6 cm on the line passing through the point A. The point where this arc cuts the line is the point C.
Step 4:
Draw a line from C to point B to get the required triangle ABC, as shown below.
