Solution
Steps of construction:
Step 1: Draw line segment AC = 5.5 cm.
Step 2: With A as centre, cut an arc of radius 5.5 cm.
Step 3: With C as centre, cut an arc of radius 5 cm.
Step 4: Mark the point of intersection of the arcs drawn as D.
Step 5: Join A and D, and C and D.
From the above construction, measure ∠A using protractor. ∠A = 54°
