Question 95
Construct a right-angled triangle whose hypotenuse measures 5 cm and one of the other sides measures 3.2 cm

Answer 1

Steps of construction
Step I Draw a line AB = 3.2 cm.
Step II Construct a right angle $\left({90}^{\circ }\right)$ at point B, i.e. $\angle ABY={90}^{\circ }$.
Step III Now, from point A, cut an arc 5 cm on BY at C.
Step IV Joint C to A.

Hence, $\Delta ABC$ is the required triangle, having hypotenuse AC = 5 cm and AB = 3.2 cm.
