Solution

Given A ΔABC with BC = 7 cm, =60=and AB = 6 cm
Steps of Construction:
1. Draw a line segment AB = 6 cm.
2. With B as centre, B=60.
3. With B as centre and radius BC = 7 cm, draw an arc.
4. Join AC to obtain ΔABC.
5. Below AB, make an acute angle BAX.
6. Along AX, mark off four points A1,A2,A3 and A4 such that AA1=A1A2=A1A2=A2A3=A3A4.
7. Join A4B.
8. From A3, draw A3B//A4B
9. From B' draw B'C'// BC
Thus, ΔABC is the required triangle with each of its side (3/4) times the size of the corresponding sides of ΔABC
