Question

Construct a right angled triangle $PQR$ with hypotenuse $PQ=9cm$ and $RQ=5$ cm.

Answer 1

Given that

$PQ=9cm$

And

$=5cm$

Step of construction,

(i) Draw a line segment $QR=5cm$

(ii) with $Q$ as centre and radius $9cm$ draw an arc

(iii) with $R$ as centre and radius draw another arc cutting the previous arc at $P$

(iv) Join $QP$ and $PR$ then $\Delta PQR$ is the required right angle triangle.
