Construct a △ ABC in which AC = 5 cm, and ∠BAC=60∘ and AB – BC = 1.2 cm.
Steps of construction:
Step 1. Draw a line AC = 5 cm
Step 2. Construct ∠A=60∘ and mark it as Y
Step 3. Cut off line segment AD = 1.2 cm on AY.
Step 4. Join CD.
Step 5. Draw a perpendicular bisector of CD such that it intersects AY at B
Step 6. Join BC.
Thus, ABC is the required triangle.
