Solution

Given that

Construct a of given data, and then a triangle similar to it whose sides are of the corresponding sides of.

We follow the following steps to construct the given

Step of construction

Step: I- First of all we draw a line segment.

Step: II- With A as centre draw an angle.

Step: III- With B as centre and radius, draw an arc, intersecting the arc drawn in step II at C.

Step: IV- Joins BC to obtain.

Step: V- Below AB, makes an acute angle.

Step: VI- Along AX, mark off five points such that

Step: VII- Join.

Step: VIII- Since we have to construct a triangle each of whose sides is of the corresponding sides of.

So, we take four parts out of five equal parts on AX from point draw and meeting AB at B’.

Step: IX- From B’ draw and meeting AC at C’

Thus, is the required triangle, each of whose sides is of the corresponding sides of.
