Question

Construct a triangle $ABC$ in which $AB=5cm$ and $BC=4.6cm$ and $AC=3.7cm$
Steps for the construction is given in jumbled form.Choose the appropriate sequence for the above
1) With radius as $5cm$ from $C$, cut an arc.
2)These arcs will intersect at point $A$. Join $AB$ and $AC$. $ABC$ is the required triangle.
3)Draw a line segment $BC=4cm.$
4)With radius as $3$ cm from $B$, cut the arc.

• A. $1,4,3,2$
• B. $4,3,2,1$
• C. $3,1,4,2$
• D. $4,1,3,2$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $3,1,4,2$

Correct sequence is:

1. Draw a line segment $AB=4$ cm.

2. With radius $5$ cm from $C$ , cut an arc.

3. With radius $3$ cm from $B$ , cut an arc.

4. The arc will intersect at point $A$, Join $AB$ and $AC$ .$ABC$ is required triangle.

So correct sequence is $3,1,4,2$

So option $C$ is correct.
