Solution
Steps to construct the required triangle are as follows :
Step 1: Draw a line segment AB of 11 cm as XY + YZ + ZX = 11 cm.
Step 2: Construct ∠PAB=30∘ and ∠QBA=90∘.
Step 3: Bisect ∠PAB and ∠QBA. Let these bisectors intersect each other at point X.
Step 4: Draw perpendicular bisector ST of AX and UV of BX.
Step 5: Let ST intersect AB at Y and UV intersect AB at Z.
Step 6: Join XY and XZ, then ΔXYZ is the required triangle.
