Solution
Steps of construction 1. Draw a line segment AB of length 5cm. 2. Draw another line segment AX, sufficiently large, such that ∠BAX=30∘. 3. From the segment AX, cut off line segment AD=2.5cm, which is equal to (AC−BC).
4 Join BD 5. Draw the perpendicular bisector of BD and let it cut AX at C. 6. Join BC. Then ABC is the required triangle.
