Solution

Steps : 1 Mark
Construction : 3 Marks

Steps :
1. Draw line segment BC = 6 cm. Draw ray BX which makes an angle 70 with BC.

2. Cut off line segment BD of length AC - AB = 2 cm on BX on the opposite side of BC, Join CD.

NOTE:As point B contains side AB which is smaller than side AC hence we cutoff line segment BD=2cm (which equals ACAB=2cm) on opposite side of BC

3. Draw the perpendicular bisector of CD. Let the perpendicular bisector intersect ray BX at A.

4. Triangle ABC is the required triangle.
