Question 100
Construct an obtuse-angled triangle which has a base of 5.5 cm and base angles of 30∘ and 120∘.
Steps of construction
Step I Draw a line segment BC of length 5.5 cm.
Step II Draw an angle of 120∘ on point B and produce it to ray Y.
Step III Draw an angle of 30∘ on point C and produce it to ray X.
Step IV Extend −−→BY and −−→CX to intersect at point A.
Hence, ΔABC is the required triangle with BC = 5.5 cm, ∠ABC=120∘ and ∠ACB=30∘.
