Question

Construct a right angle triangle in which base is $4.5\mathrm{cm}$ and hypotenuse is $6\mathrm{cm}$. Measure its other side. What type of triangle is this according to the sides ?

Answer 1

Step 1: Draw a line $\mathrm{AB}=4.5\mathrm{cm}$

Step 2: At point B draw $\angle \mathrm{B}=90°$

Step 3: With A as center and radius $6\mathrm{cm}$, draw an arc meeting BP at C

Step 4: Join AC

By measuring $\mathrm{BC}=5\mathrm{cm}(\mathrm{Approx}.)$

Hence, all sides of a triangle are different so it is the scalene right-angled triangle.
