Steps of Construction :
Step 1. Draw a line l .
Step 2. Draw an angle of 90
o at M on l .
Step 3. Cut an arc of radius 3 cm on the perpendicular. Mark the point as A.
Step 4. With A as centre, make an angle of 30
o and let it cut l at C. We get
.
Step 5. Cut an arc of 5 cm from C on l and mark the point as B.
Step 6. Join AB.
Thus, â–³ABC is obtained .
Step 7. Extend AB to D, such that BD =
BC.
Step 8. Draw DE
, cutting AC produced to E.

Then, â–³ADE is the required triangle, each of whose sides is
of the corresponding sides of â–³ABC.
