Solution
The correct option is CAB = 6.1 cm: AC = 5.1 cm Step 1 : Draw a line segment BC of length 7cm Step 2 : Draw an angle of 45o from point B
Step 3 : From Ray AX cut off the line segment BD=1cm Step 4 : Join C to D Step 5 : Draw side bisector of DC Step 6 : Extend side bisector of DC it intersect the Ray BX at point A Step 7 : Join A to C, ABC is the required triangle. On measuring, AB=6.1cm,AC=5.1cm
