Question

Construct a Δ PQR with sides PQ = 4 cm, QR = 5 cm and RP = 7 cm.

Answer 1

STEP 1 : Draw a rough sketch of the triangle and label it with the given measureents.

STEP 2 : Draw a line segment QR of length 5 cm.

STEP 3 : With centre Q, draw an arc of radius 4 cm.

STEP 4 : Since P is at a distance of 7 cm from R, draw another arc from R with radius 7 cm such that it intersects first arc at P.

STEP 5 : Join Q,P and P,R. The required Δ PQR is constructed.
