Question

Construct a ∆ABC in which ∠B = 30°, ∠C = 60° and the length of the perpendicular from the vertex A to the base BC is 4.8 cm.

Answer 1

Steps of construction:
1. Draw a line segment XY.
2. Take a point D on XY and draw PD $\perp$ XY.
3. Along PD, set off DA = 4.8 cm.
4. Draw a line LM $\parallel$ XY.
5. Draw $\angle$LAB = 30$°$ and $\angle$MAC = 60$°$, meeting XY at B and C, respectively.
Thus, ABC is the required triangle.
