Question

Construct an equilateral triangle $XYZ$ whose side is $4.8cm.$

Answer 1

In an equilateral triangle, all sides are equal, so in this triangle all sides must be equal to $4.8cm.$

STEPS OF CONSTRUCTION:

STEP 1: Draw a line segment $YZ$ of length $4.8cm.$

STEP2:With $Y$ as centre and $4.8cm$ as radius draw an arc.

STEP3:With $Z$ as centre and $4.8cm$ as radius draw an arc intersecting the previous arc at $X$.

STEP4:Join $XY$ and $XZ$.

Now we get the required triangle.
