Question

Construct a triangle $ABC$ in which $AB=5cm$ and $BC=4.6cm$ and $AC=3.7cm$

Answer 1

(i) Draw a line segment which is sufficiently long using ruler.
(ii) Locate points $A$ and $B$ on it such that $AB=5cm$.
(iii) With $A$ as centre and radius $4.6cm$, draw an arc(see figure)
(iv) With $B$ as centre and radius $3.7cm$, draw another arc cutting the previous arc at $C$.
(v) Join $AC$ and $BC$
Then $ABC$ is the required triangle.
