Solution
Construction: 1. Draw a line segment BC=5.5 cm 2. Through B draw BX such that ∠CBX=60∘ 3. Draw BY⊥BX. 4. Draw ⊥ are bisector of BC so that it cuts BC at M and BY at O. 5. Draw a circle with centre O and radius OB. 6. The major are BKC of the circle contains the vertical angle 60∘. 7. With M as centre, draw an arc of radius 4.5 cm meeting the circle at A and A′. 8.△ABC or △A′BC is the require triangle.
