Question

Consider a triangle


The above triangle can be constructed with ease if the construction is started with

• A.
  Side AB
• B.
  Side DC
• C.
  Side BC
• D.
  Any Side

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Side BC
We have base length of a triangle, one of the base angle & the difference of other two sides .
Here, the side opposite to the base angle is larger than the side adjacent to the given base angle that means
AC > AB.

So, in such type of construction, we project the difference of other two sides below the given line segment and we can say BP is extended or produced at particular point.

So, here 3 cm projected on this ray BQ is equal to the difference of other two sides . While constructing such type of triangle, first we must draw the base length.

So , First of all we have to draw side BC for obtaining this triangle.


$\Rightarrow \text{Side BC}$ is the answer.
