Open in App
Solution

Steps of construction
1. Draw a line segment XY.
2. Take a point M on XY.
3. Draw ZMXY, 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.
