Solution
Steps of Construction:
- Draw a line segment AB = 5 cm.
- With A and B as centres, draw two arcs of radius 6 cm and let they intersect each other in C.
- Join AC and BC to get ΔABC.
- With A and B as centres, draw two arcs of radius little more than half of AB. Let they intersect each other in P and Q. Join PQ and produce, to pass through C.
