Solution
Steps of construction 1. Draw a line segment XY. 2. Take a point M on XY. 3. Draw ZM⊥XY, with MZ sufficiently large. 4. With M as center and radius 3.6cm, draw an arc, cutting MZ at A. 5.
With A as center and radii 4.5cm and 5cm, draw arcs
cutting XY at B and C respectively; join AB and AC. Then ABC is the required triangle.
